Preset DSE Mixer Sponsors Set January 30, 2015 by Super User The details are coming together on the annual Preset Group DSE Mixer, and barring something crazy, I should have ticket registration up early next week for the March 10 event.

In Toronto, At Least, Things Are Hopping January 29, 2015 by Super User I spent the last three days doing a series of show and tell visits with a vendor to the many digital signage software companies in the greater Toronto area.

Limited Time To Post January 20, 2015 by Super User I’m way out of town this week, in Manila, where it is 30 Celsius (86 F) and blue skies. But I’m also in a hotel room catching up on emails between meetings, so my only encounter with the pool has been walking by it. Nice to be somewhere warm, but it came with 17 hours …
NRF: A Crowded Digital Signage Field Gets Even More Crowded January 12, 2015 by Super User The last time I was at the big National Retail Federation trade show in New York, digital signage was something you saw here and there – in small solo booths or as one of the interesting services wedged into the mega booths of major tech companies.

Intel Debuts $149 PC On A Stick January 8, 2015 by Super User Intel has announced its own HDMI media stick, but its very different from the gadgets used as media streamers and low-cost, low-footprint Android digital signage players.
