Okay, that's a loaded question, but there are certainly voices out there making the case that cloud computing provides the processing and big data support needed for predictive analytics.
It doesn't matter if it's The New York Times, or television, which involves some fairly sophisticated computing, or the social media that are out there.
Well, in Junaio we have a great developer ecosystem, which are developing everything from navigational apps to pathfinders to games and so forth and we basically wanted to leverage that content [that is already out there] for wearable computing.
