I’m writing this column one day after the horrific terror attacks in Boston. Authorities are unsure whether the origination was domestic or foreign, and we’ve all got more questions than answers. The thoughts and prayers of all of us at ASI are with those affected by the attacks.

I highly recommend that you visit our sister publication, Security.

Spring is such a great time of year. As the trees start to bud and the flowers peek up out of the dirt, we begin to feel like anything is possible.

As in previous years, this year’s handbook has been updated with many new products and definitions.

The Consumer Electronics Association’s (CEA®) 2013 International CES event was held last month.

Here at ASI, we are celebrating our 20th anniversary in 2013, and we’re thrilled to be entering our third decade of providing you with the high-quality information you need to succeed in your business. 

As we look forward to 2013 and what this year might bring, I’m wondering about New Year’s resolutions.

During the month of December, our website will highlight your favorite ASI articles of 2012.
