Kissimmee – – October 14, 2026 -- Experience Kissimmee has launched Film Kissimmee, the official film commission for Osceola County, with more than 100 scouted filming locations ready for production companies, location managers and digital content creators.

Location scout documents 100+ sites across Osceola County

Experience Kissimmee hired a professional location scout with more than 20 years of experience to identify and document the sites. The locations are being added to an online directory powered by Reel-Scout, a location management platform. Filmmakers can use it to search available properties, review photography and access production-related information.

The portfolio covers natural waterways, cypress-lined wetlands, historic downtown streets, ranchlands, hospitality properties and modern innovation centers. It also includes vacation homes, from luxury estates and themed properties to contemporary residences and resort-style retreats.

Albany – October 14, 2026 -- IBM and Siemens have launched a joint research program to prepare IBM's nanostack transistor architecture, which packs nearly 100 billion transistors into a space the size of a fingernail at the 7 angstrom node, for volume manufacturing.

Nanostack stacks and staggers transistors in three dimensions

IBM describes nanostack as the industry's first known three-dimensional, nanosheet-based design. It vertically stacks and staggers transistors to raise density. The architecture also allows different material combinations in each stacked layer, so each transistor's performance and power efficiency can be optimized independently of the other.

IBM credits the design with substantial gains in energy efficiency, performance and SRAM scaling. It unveiled the architecture earlier this year and has demonstrated that it is viable.

Redwood City – October 14, 2026 -- The worldwide Data Center Physical Infrastructure (DCPI) market grew 27% year-over-year to $14 billion in manufacturer revenue in the second quarter of 2026, according to Dell'Oro Group. Growth has now run above 20% for consecutive quarters as demand for AI data center capacity outpaces supply. Dell'Oro attributes the modest slowdown from 1Q 2026 to a tougher comparison base, not weaker demand.

The research firm now ranks siting and permitting as the most serious near-term brake on the market. "The quieter and more consequential one is whether it will be permitted," said Alex Cordovil, Research Director at Dell'Oro, contrasting the issue with the louder debate over project cancellations. He said power availability, long-lead equipment and community opposition are stretching project timelines. He added that the timing of permits and grid interconnections is harder to forecast than the demand behind them.
