    I am not going to attempt to give you any restaurant advice beyond what I’ve already done by listing the good places near the conference center. San Francisco reputedly has over 3000 restaurants so I don’t know anything about more than a tiny fraction. However, with that many restaurants, most places are pretty good. If not, they ...

    One DAC panel session that I am looking forward to attending is the Chevy Volt Teardown. This takes place at 1.30-2.30pm on Tuesday June 5th at the DAC pavilion (aka booth 310). Al Speier will be talking about a teardown that they did at Munro Associates where he is a senior associate. Unfortunately they won't actually be tearing ...

    You are going to DAC. And you don't want to eat a Moscone Center rubber chicken Caesar salad for lunch. But you lack local knowledge. So here are some places within a 10 minute walk. These are just places I like. Nobody is paying me to recommend them.

    Places to eat
    The food court in the San Francisco Center on Market Street between 4th and 5th Street. This is to normal mall foodcourts the same way San Francisco Airport food is to normal airports. It's actually good. There are two food courts, but far and away the ...

    At the GSA silicon summit yesterday the first keynote was by Subramanian Iyer of IBM on Keeping Moore's Law Alive. He started off by asking the question "Is Moore's Law in trouble?" and answered with an equivocal "maybe."

    Like some of the other speakers during the day, he pointed out that 28nm will be a long-lived process, since the move to 20nm is not really that compelling ...

    UPDATE: there is free WiFi on all buses.

    OK, these are not the 128 bit 1GHz buses we have to hear about every day. They go roughly 40 miles in roughly an hour. But they take you from Silicon Valley to DAC and back, and they are cheaper than BART or Caltrain.

    For the first time this year, DAC has buses from Silicon Valley to Moscone for DAC. They depart ...

    Who doesn’t love the perennial Hogan’s Heros panel at DAC? Always provocative and illuminating, for technologists, entrepreneurs, and strategists.

    At DAC 2012, Jim Hogan’s panel is “Learning from Apple”:
    Apple. We admire their devices, worship their creators and praise their stock in our portfolios. Apple is synonymous with creative thinking, new opportunities, perseverance and wild success. Along the road, Apple set new technical and business standards. But how much has the electronics industry, in particular
