No. Not for a long while. Too many companies are gearing up to enter into it (Intel, anyone?). The momentum is still building up. Or the bubble is being pumped or whatever you want to call it. There are a lot of companies who don't quite know what to do next now that their existing business models are having troubles.
Anyway, smart move by Broadcom, good for them. I hope they use the money for R&D of things we might actually need or at least can use in a sensible way.
Not that I'd trust any statistic I haven't made up carefully compiled myself I'm surprised that it took so long, what with the rapid proliferation of mobile devices. You'd think the odd Android user would notice that their mobile thingy lets them use the internet with something else than IE and think hey, maybe I can do that on my PC as well.
On a side note: any browser is reasonable fast when you block all the crap you don't need anyway.
"Did I mention that it isn't even certain whether anyone of the "consumer demographic" will even shell out for IoT stuff, whatever it is when it will be something?"
That's assuming we will be given a choice. Odds are, we won't, at least outside the 'premium' range.
"DevOps can solve anything, can’t it? Well, no. In fact, if you don’t implement DevOps correctly, you’ll find that not only do you carry over the problems of the old world but that birth a few brand new ones, too. (emphasis by me)
That's always the get-out-of-jail-card, isn't it? Every consultant's recommendation, every 'revolutionary new' idea of fixing things that are not broken, everything that falls under BaaS*, in short ervery bag of hot air comes with this in the small print. It didn't work? No, it wasn't a stupid idea in the first place - you did it wrong! Stupid little client... But don't despair - here's another bag of hot air we can sell you!

Paramount is acting short-sighted and, well, just plain dumb. Yes, they have a point about copyright(s), but this would have been an excellent opportunity for massive positive and cost free PR. It adds to my already strong belief that the only companies that should be run by accountants are accountancy firms.
Anyway: There are also Klingonz. Have a nice weekend, everybody.
