Siggraph announced today that Joichi “Joi” Ito, director of the MIT Media Lab and a noted pioneer of the World Wide Web, will be the keynote speaker for Siggraph 2015 in Los Angeles, August 9-13. Mirroring the conference theme of “Xroads of Discovery,” Siggraph notes how Ito’s body of work and experience has spanned the science, academic, and business worlds. “Known for his willingness to dig deeply to find understanding and to discover unorthodox solutions and connections, Joi Ito is the perfect fit for Siggraph 2015,” said Marc J. Barr, Siggraph 2015 Conference Chair. “The Siggraph community is full of thoughtful, innovative and curious minds, which Ito embodies through his work as an activist, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and advocate of emergent democracy, privacy, and Internet freedom.”

The workstation market in Q4’22 contracts further in Q4’22, due to influences both within and beyond the market
The third quarter of 2022 marked the end of exuberant growth in the workstation market, and based on Q4 results, the decline — or perhaps better put, a return to normal and sustainable marketplace — is not over. All told, the market saw around 1.84 million workstations shipped, representing a 23.8% YoY drop and a 9.3% sequential decline. The quarter’s performance suggests some complex dynamics playing out in the market, viewed both from the perspective of internal market trends as well as external economic forces.
