What worked for Netflix might not work for GM. Netflix does not build cars and GM is not streaming movies. That means outright dimissing GMs move as wrong is rather bold. Cloud services are fine when the business can operate...

Thanks to Krishnan Subramanian, director of OpenShift strategy at Red Hat, for his comment, which appears for the time being to close out this debate over the value of containers and their future. Stay tuned. This is sure...

Thanks to tresfou below for pointing out that what CAPI stands for was not spelled out correctly. It should be: Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface. The reporter is misreading his own shorthand.

Designing and building chips is an expensive proposition, so IBM needs to spread the invetment as broadly as it can. With Unix server sales declining and with Z systems encroaching a bit from above (with workload consolidation)...

I disagree about the convincing consumers to buy the OnePlusOne phone will be difficult. The amended statement should read: Convincing CLUELESS American consumers who purchase me-too smartphones on impulse without...

The problem is judging the value of a product that offers only statistical data. Unless the data shows a significant chance of getting a certain disease, it's of uncertain value. You can't really tell how much it's worth...

But is Aereo really redistributing TV content? If it's leasing antennas to subscribers, the subscribers are pulling the content from the public airwaves and storing it in Aereo's cloud service. Would it be any different...

Sniff!! It's like when my mean, old aunt died. I couldn't stand her while she was alive and did everything I could to avoid her, but now that she's gone, I do miss her. Oh well, at least I'll Never have to look at MVS JCL...

It also makes sense from a patient security perspective, too. If hospitals carefully monitor and track prescription medications, it's less likely a patient will miss a dose or get a double dose of something, addictive or...

Wouldn't that be refreshing? I was glad to see the feds acknowledge the need to reduce red tape but hope it's not just another case of lip service.

I think a combination of AI, crowd wisdom, and an individual doctor's experience probably adds up to the best of both worlds. As we've seen with IBM Watson, that system recommends treatment but leaves it up to the physician...

To reduce this discussion to simplistic terms: Power costs more than x86, but for the space and power used, it delivers more per watt. This didn't use to matter as much as being able to get a new piece of hardware at low...

Building a Mobile Business Mindset
The differences between mobile apps and conventional Windows clients, or even web applications, are far more than skin deep. Yes, the touch-versus-keyboard interface, APIs, and programming languages are new, but that’s arguably the easy part. There are profound differences in how the two are built, the functionality each prioritizes, the release cycles on which they’re developed — even the attitudes, values, and work styles of the developers creating them.
