Take a Network Break! The virtual donut machine got a good scrubbing over the holiday break, and now it’s ready to bake dozens of delights to accompany your weekly helping of tech news.

This week we dig into the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities that rocked chip makers, examine remarks from Oracle CEO Mark Hurd about the imminent disruption of traditional IT, and explore why AT&T pulled out of a deal to sell Huawei’s Mate 10 smartphone.

In other tech news, Chinese smartphone makers are wary of the potential Broadcom/Qualcomm merger and Juniper Networks and ThousandEyes team up on network visibility.

Nvidia cracks down on the use of its consumer chips in the data center, while U.S. and French government officials question Apple about its manipulation of battery performance.
