Welcome to Tech Insider! - Tech Insider. There has never been a better time to be alive. Contrary to what you might have heard, people are healthier, safer, happier, and smarter than ever. Thanks to breakthroughs in science and technology, the pace of progress is accelerating: We’re rewriting rules for how to live and work every day. There are still plenty of problems to solve, many of our own making, but with our intelligence and ingenuity we’re solving them one by one. Tech Insider celebrates this exciting new era. We’re launching today as a digital publication focused on tech, science, innovation, and culture. We aim to go deep into these areas and tell the stories that matter to everyone, with text, video, photo, and audio.

Our tech section will help you find and use great products. Tech Insider will feature original reporting on the most compelling stories of our age. For example, have you heard there is a lab in Korea that will clone your pet? Sarah JacobsThe Tech Insider news team is ready to go. And e-sports ... VC Fred Wilson: By 2020 Apple Won’t Be A Top-3 Tech Company, Google And Facebook Will.

Fred Wilson of New York’s Union Square Ventures, one of the top tech investors around, believes that by 2020, the biggest tech company in the world — Apple — will cease to be the most important, and won’t even be in the top three. Speaking at today’s TC Disrupt conference in NYC, he predicted that the top three tech companies, instead, will be Google, Facebook “and one that we’ve never heard of.”

Why? Apple, he believes, is “too rooted to hardware,” with not enough tied into the cloud, and that will make it too much of a challenge for it to evolve going forward. “I think hardware is increasingly becoming a commodity,” he said. “Their stuff in the cloud is largely not good. I don’t think they think about data and the cloud.” Twitter, meanwhile, he thinks will be “four, five, six, seven… but I’m not sure it will be number-two [or three].”

Still it’s surprising to think that the tables could turn so dramatically in, effectively, six years. HANA Visionary Vishal Sikka Resigns From SAP. This afternoon, SAP announced in a statement that Vishal Sikka, Executive Board Member for Products and Innovation, has resigned for personal reasons. The resignation was effective immediately. At the same time, SAP named a couple of new executive board members, including Robert Enslin and Bernd Leukert. The news could indicate some disarray or possibly a power struggle at the software giant, especially coming so close to its SAPPHIRENow Conference, which is scheduled for June 3-5th in Orlando. R Ray Wang, co-counder and analyst at Constellation Research said, the announcement could indicate that power is shifting at the board level.

It’s worth noting that Sikka lead the development of HANA, SAP’s big in-memory database product, which the company has up until now seen as a foundational technology. Wang says this marks a big change at SAP, especially since he said that many had seen Sikka as a possible candidate for CEO down the road. This was clearly not a figure head.
