Huawei founder: US government 'underestimated our power' - Fox Business
The growing animosity between Huawei Technologies and the U.S. government was inevitable and a sales ban imposed by the Trump administration will have no effect on the firm’s plans, according to the founder of the Chinese telecommunications giant.

Speaking to Chinese state media on Tuesday, Ren Zhengfei said there would be “conflict with the United States sooner or later” as Huawei seeks to grow its dominance in the global telecom industry.
“We sacrificed [the interests of] individuals and families for the sake of an ideal, to stand at the top of the world,” he said according to a report in the South China Morning Post.

The White House last week announced an executive order to prevent U.S. companies from doing business with foreign telecom firms that pose a national security risk. While the action was company and country-agnostic, Huawei is the largest firm set to be impacted.
After the order, the Commerce Department also placed the company on a “black list” that prevents U.S. businesses from selling to Huawei without federal approval, which experts say is unlikely.

On Monday, the agency said it would permit some limited transactions for 90 days to allow American firms to “make other arrangements,” Secretary Wilbur Ross said in a statement.
While large domestic telecom firms like AT&T and Verizon Wireless have vowed not to use Huawei equipment in the development of pending fifth-generation wireless networks, rural carriers still rely on its low-cost equipment.
Zhengfei said the ban would have no impact on Huawei’s 5G strategy and expects it to have a two-to-three-year advantage on competitors.
“The current actions by American politicians underestimated our power,” he told Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.

| S | SPRINT CORP. | 6.95 | +0.77 | +12.46% |
| VZ | VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC. | 59.01 | +0.92 | +1.58% |
Following the actions from the Trump administration, a number of companies took immediate steps to limit their relationship with the Chinese firm. Google, for example, said it would restrict access to popular applications on Huawei smartphones, a decision that was reversed after the White House’s 90-day reprieve.
Chipmakers like Intel and Qualcomm Inc. also reportedly suspended shipments to Huawei. While the company develops some of its own chips, it relies on U.S. firms for other parts.
Spokespersons for Qualcomm and Intel did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Federal officials and U.S. lawmakers have long charged that Huawei is closely aligned with the Chinese government and effectively acts as a conduit for espionage for the Asian nation around the globe.
The Trump administration has attempted to pressure some U.S. allies to also restrict the use of Huawei equipment in pending 5G networks. Following the ban, however, countries like Germany signaled they are unlikely to pursue any new actions against the company.

Sony demos PlayStation 5 fast load times, hints at cloud gaming future - The Verge
Sony isn’t holding its usual E3 press conference this year, but the company has been gradually revealing parts of its next-generation PlayStation console. The PlayStation 5 will support 8K graphics, 3D audio, SSD storage, and backwards compatibility with existing PlayStation 4 titles. That SSD storage should boost load times significantly, and Sony offered up some clear demonstrations of exactly that today.
During a Sony investor relations meeting (PDF), the company demonstrated PlayStation 5 load times using Spider-Man to load cities and rapidly navigate throughout them. While the PS4 takes around eight seconds to load a Spider-Man level, the PS5 (identified simply as next-generation) does the same in less than a second. The PS5 can also better handle dynamic maps that load portions of a game as a player moves throughout them, avoiding the classic spinning circle or pause when you move from one part of a map to another.
Sony might be focused on its next generation PlayStation 5 console, but the company says the PS4 will “remain the engine of engagement and profitability in the next three years” and will provide early adopters for the next generation of PlayStation. Sony also previously revealed that the PS5 will use an eight-core CPU based on AMD’s third-gen Ryzen line, and include a GPU that supports ray-tracing graphics. Sony has not yet demonstrated ray-tracing on the PS5, though.
We’re still waiting to hear about pricing and release dates (not in the next 12 months) for the PS5, and even games and the general user experience, but Sony has started hinting at how it sees cloud gaming as part of the next generation. Sony is planning to leverage its existing PlayStation Now network to support 1080p and beyond games, while improving the quality of content and maximizing what it describes as its “off-console opportunity.”

PlayStation Now has been criticized for a lack of content, especially compared to offerings like the Xbox Game Pass, but it’s clear that Sony sees it playing a big role in the next generation console space. Sony’s vision is that PlayStation Now will rapidly expand beyond its capacity to support 5 million subscribers, and the company is partnering with Microsoft to help achieve scale.
While cloud gaming is a focus, Sony says it still believes in gamer choice for its next-generation console. During one particular slide, Sony even hints that the PS5 could come with a Blu-ray drive and support downloads and streaming. Sony has only officially said that the next console will support discs so far.

Google reverses decision to cut ties with Huawei after US eases trade restrictions - CNBC

Alphabet Inc's Google said Tuesday that it plans to work with China's Huawei over the next 90 days, shortly after the U.S. temporarily eased some trade restrictions on the world's second-largest smartphone maker.
The move marks a sudden and dramatic turnabout for the U.S. tech conglomerate. On Sunday, Google said it would cut ties with Huawei in order to comply with Washington's decision to put China's telecom giant on the so-called Entity List.
However, shortly thereafter, the U.S. Commerce Department announced it had granted a 90-day license for mobile phone companies and internet broadband providers to work with Huawei to keep existing networks online and protect users from security risks.
The exemption allows Google to send software updates to Huawei phones which use its Android operating system through to August 19.
"Keeping phones up to date and secure is in everyone's best interests and this temporary license allows us to continue to provide software updates and security patches to existing models for the next 90 days," a Google spokesperson told CNBC in an email on Tuesday.
Temporary general license
The U.S. Commerce Department said it would assess whether to extend the temporary exemptions beyond 90 days.
Late last week, the Commerce Department added Huawei and 68 other entities to an export blacklist, rendering it practically impossible for the Chinese company to purchase goods made in the U.S.
The companies placed on the Entity List are deemed to be engaged in activities that threaten the national security or the foreign policy interests of the U.S.
Monday's announcement explained the latest authorization had been created as a temporary general license. It allows disclosures of security vulnerabilities and for Huawei to engage in the development of standards for future 5G networks.
A spokesperson for Huawei declined to comment when contacted by CNBC.
Huawei was the second-largest smartphone maker by global market share in the first quarter. The company has previously laid out its ambitions to become the top player in smartphones by 2020.
Out of the $70 billion Huawei spent buying components in 2018, some $11 billion went to U.S. firms including Qualcomm, Intel and Micron Technology.
Just over 49% of Huawei's smartphone shipments went to international markets outside of mainland China in the first quarter of 2019, according to Canalys.

Google Launches New $999 Glass 2 for Enterprise Customers - Thurrott.com
Alphabet’s X moonshot factory has been working on the second-generation of the Glass Enterprise Edition for the past 2 years. Today, the team is joining Google, launching the new Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2.
The team’s new Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2 (I’ll just refer to it as Google Glass from now) comes at $999 and is strictly meant for enterprise customers. Much like Microsoft’s HoloLens, Google isn’t making this for regular consumers and it’s more fit for businesses.
The new Glass runs on Android and comes with Android Enterprise Mobile Device Management support, which will make it easier for businesses to manage their Glass 2 devices. And since it’s based on Android, companies will also be able to integrate their services much quicker than before.
On the surface, the new Glass device doesn’t look much different from the original Enterprise Edition. The design of the device is almost identical, but Google has swapped out the chip on the inside and the new Glass 2 is now build on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR1 platform. That means the new device packs a “significantly more powerful” multi-core CPU, as well as an integrated AI engine, that allows for power savings, improved performance, support for computer vision, and advanced machine learning capabilities.
The new Glass 2 features improved camera performance and quality as well, and a USB-C port with fast charging support. The device also comes with increased overall battery life, according to Google.
Google is also partnering with Smith Optics to make compatible safety frames for different types of demanding work environments that work with the new Glass 2.
Enterprise customers will be able to buy the new Glass Enterprise Edition 2 from Google directly.
