Hands-on demo with TI's OMAP5 platform at MWC (video)
It's TI's time to brag. We first met OMAP5 when the company's VP of the OMAP division, Remi El-Ouazzane, unveiled the developer's reference platform on our stage at CES. While there, he boasted OMAP5 as "the greatest platform on Earth right now," but we were given only a few insights into the platform's capabilities. Now, TI is back with a new wave of demos that better show the prowess of OMAP5 -- a system-on-chip design that houses a dual-core ARM Cortex-A15 CPU clocked at just 800MHz, two Cortex-M4 cores for low-power processes, along with a PowerVR SGX 544 GPU that handles 3D compositions, and a number of accelerators such as TI's IVA-HD, which supports both video encoding and decoding and plays 1080p video at a whopping 60fps. We were shown a demo of all these capabilities humming in unison on a 1080p display, along with a complex HTML5 mashup that adds credence to the company's latest benchmark report. Photography geeks should know the system supports up to 14 megapixel cameras, and is able to process ten shots per second at that setting. We're told to expect devices based on the OMAP5 platform by the end of the year, and if you're anything like us, it's going to be one hell of a wait. Hop the break for the demo.

UCF Business Incubator Program Report ... - Florida Venture Sourcing
by Dennis R. Pape
Founder, Florida Venture Sourcing
Last week the Florida High Technology Corridor Council released a report it commissioned titled ?Regional Economic Impact Study of UCF?s Business Incubator Program?.
Wading through reports like this (authored by people paid by one of the subject?s funding sources) always raises questions in my mind.? And the big numbers they always report (in this case a $360M economic impact on Central Florida) due to their use of the economic ?multiplier effect? are always suspect.? Nevertheless, there are some facts in it worth contemplating including:? how many companies are current UCF incubator clients (118), how many people are employed at those current client companies (721), how many Central Florida companies are graduate (former) UCF incubator clients (50), how many people are employed at those former client companies (845), and how much public money the UCF incubation program receives ($1.8M in 2011, up from $875,000 in 2009).
Interesting numbers, but the rather off-hand statement buried on page 3 is the one that should give everyone pause for concern:
??.nine graduate firms (13%) are known to have relocated outside the Metro Orlando region. Two of these firms have grown to a combined total of almost 10,000 jobs after relocating to California to take advantage of readily available venture capital?.
So now you know my answer to my question in the title of this blog:
Q. Why Do We Need More Venture Capital in Florida?
A. Because, while 168 UCF incubator client and graduate companies in Central Florida employ a combined total of 1566 people, two graduate companies who relocated to California to take advantage of readily available venture capital created a combined total of almost 10,000 jobs there.

Resources for International Business Travelers
If you?ve ever traveled abroad, you know that it can be both exciting and a little bit scary, as well. Everyone speaks a different language, has different customs?it?s no wonder that travelers often find themselves coming down with ?culture shock.?
?
Now, can you imagine going through all of that on a business trip? Yikes! Fortunately for business travelers, there are a variety of resources available to help make international business trips less of a hurdle. Let?s take a look:
?
Visas
?
If you?re visiting another country for business reasons, you may need to obtain a visa in advance. Often, this is even the case in countries that allow American tourists to apply for their visas in the airport when they arrive. Visa requirements vary greatly from country to country and can change frequently, so this is one area where it?s important to have expert assistance.
Consider contacting a reputable business agency to assist you ? they can let you know what visas you need and what documents are required.
?
Language Software and Apps
?
Being able to speak the local language, even imperfectly, can go a long way toward making your international business trip easier. These days, there?s no need to sign up for an actual language course: software programs like Mango and Rosetta Stone make it easy to learn on your own time. Bootstrapping entrepreneurs who don?t want to pay for the software package can often get access via a local library. Meanwhile, translation apps like WordLens help you cope even in situations where your language skills are sub par.
?
Culture Guides
?
Becoming familiar with the quirks of the local culture is one of the most important steps you can take before any international business trip.
The way you?re expected to conduct yourself in another country may be quite different from the way you conduct yourself at home.
?
ExecutivePlanet.com has a set of free guides that can help you with the basics of doing business in another country.
?
Passport Expediting
?
You?ll definitely want to make sure that you have a valid passport before you travel. State Department processing times are six weeks for normal processing and three weeks for expedited processing, but you might not know about a business trip until the last possible moment. Passport agency offices are not located in every city or even every state, and busy executives often don?t have time to travel. In that case, you may wish to use a private passport expediting company like RushMyPassport. Expediting companies carry your application directly to the State Department for processing in as little as 24 hours.
