Why SoC development increasingly looks like an old video game, but with much higher stakes.

Forget bigger TVs and smaller tablets. Think exoskeletons and bionic eyes.

How will the industry be reshaped by M&A in 2012? Here are my predictions…

Building an SoC is looking more like a summer blockbuster movie with a real-world villain.

The old version of EDA could well become part of a manufacturing flow, but that still leaves plenty of new opportunities.

The passing of Aaron Ashkinazy is a major loss for EDA. So is the camaraderie fostered by small teams.

The surprising number of design insights you can get from staring at a cat.
