Software as a Service (SaaS) and Software as a Product (SaaP) are two distinct software delivery models that businesses can choose from. SaaS refers to a cloud-based software model where users access applications over the internet on a subscription basis. On the other hand, SaaP involves purchasing software licenses installed locally on the user’s hardware. The alternative between SaaS and SaaP can have crucial significance for businesses in terms of ownership, deployment, cost, and customization. Knowing these models and their variations is essential to make an informed conclusion that aligns with your particular requirements. Key differences between SaaS and SaaP SaaS and Saap models differ as the below- Deployment and…
IEEE Spectrum’s most popular biomedical stories of the last year centered both on incorporating new technologies and revamping old ones. While AI is all the rage in most sectors—including biomed, with applications like an in-brain warning system for worsening mental health and a model to estimate heart rate in real time—biomedical news this past year has also focused on legacy technologies. Tech like Wi-Fi, ultrasound, and lasers have all made comebacks or found new uses in 2025.Whether innovation stems from new tech or old, IEEE Spectrum will continue to cover it rigorously in 2026. Georgia Institute of Technology, Icahn School…

By operating on the ground in Kenya, the HOT team brought the human touch. The actual data collection activity was entirely led by locals, from introducing the project to flying the drones, and refugees in the camp helped manually identify features in the area. HOT teams flew drones to capture high-resolution aerial imagery and conduct field validation with refugee mappers. But most importantly, they trained and empowered members of the refugee camp—turning data collection into community engagement. Refugees became mappers, interpreters, and stewards of their own environment, creating ground truth data. Their local knowledge added depth and accuracy, giving them…
Apache Spark Connect, introduced in Spark 3.4, enhances the Spark ecosystem by offering a client-server architecture that separates the Spark runtime from the client application. Spark Connect enables more flexible and efficient interactions with Spark clusters, particularly in scenarios where direct access to cluster resources is limited or impractical. A key use case for Spark Connect on Amazon EMR is to be able to connect directly from your local development environments to Amazon EMR clusters. By using this decoupled approach, you can write and test Spark code on your laptop while using Amazon EMR clusters for execution. This capability reduces…

Dec 21, 2025Ravie LakshmananMalware / Cyber Espionage Threat hunters have discerned new activity associated with an Iranian threat actor known as Infy (aka Prince of Persia), nearly five years after the hacking group was observed targeting victims in Sweden, the Netherlands, and Turkey. “The scale of Prince of Persia’s activity is more significant than we originally anticipated,” Tomer Bar, vice president of security research at SafeBreach, said in a technical breakdown shared with The Hacker News. “This threat group is still active, relevant, and dangerous.” Infy is one of the oldest advanced persistent threat (APT) actors in existence, with evidence…
Shipping is central to international trade, facilitating the transport of up to 80% of the world’s goods, from televisions to bananas. This provides a vital, efficient but not necessarily clean means of conveyance for an industry facing new demands on its systems and processes. Shipping’s Contribution to Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions It may not seem so significant numerically, but shipping still contributes roughly 3% of emissions, specifically greenhouse gases. The sector faces important demands to reduce this figure, thus diminishing its environmental impact. Policy Pressure and Workforce Implications Governments enforcing policy, which affect how companies and corporations must tackle their…
A year ago, I posted an article that showed my CV as tuned by ChatGPT 4. As I have witnessed announcements and demonstrations of agent systems over the past months, a vision has started to form in my head that begged me to be written down. This is the shape how I want my software development business to achieve, given a long enough time horizon. Generally people tend to greatly overestimate what kind of progress can be made within one year. And they greatly underestimate the kind of progress that can be achieved in 10 years. We can discuss the…
