I have a feeling that the majority of users will want Facebook to lock their location data up and throw away the key, if Facebook manages to utilize location data with care then maybe in a few years users will share their...

It is interesting to ponder upon the things that Facebook can do with a time-lapsed trace map of a user, for example, Facebook could suggest new friends by overlapping two trace maps of users and could deliver ads of coffee...

The way I interpret what eNovance is doing is that it's not afraid to occupy OpenStack's bleeding edge. May they fare well and keep popularizing upcoming release features.

The ability of a social media site to generate revenue is important and the slightest hint that it is possible to do so make speculators to value it highly, Facebook is a good example. A lot depends on Twitter's strategy,...

As it relates to LPTA, there have been best-value procurements that have been failures and have been costly to correct. I think the point here is that there are some items, for example, commodity items, where LPTA...

A brave new world but a small one. I think most consumers care very little about the data that comes from the Internet of Things; the ostensible value proposition of the IoT hasn't yet become meaningful to the general pu...

@Ariella, I agree and I also default towards my desktop for the majority of things. The average website would be in a safer place if they kept their site appealing for both desktop and mobile users. There would be instances...

I agree about mobile and advertising. It can work but it's a poor fit in general. It only takes one ad taking over the screen in a mobile app for me to delete that app and find another.

Why allow Autoplay to be disabled only on WiFi when its on cellular that the data of a video has an actual impact on billing?

I think Twitter is still in good shape and comparisons to Google or Facebook aren't fair or even logical. They're apples and oranges, and Twitter will never have the user base of FB. Two different animals. Twitter just needs...

Containers dominated in "1st generation" cloud offerings - Softlayer, United Internet, 1and1, GoDaddy all use containers since 2000s for multi-tenancy when they sell "slices" of servers (shared...

In real life, the patient usually travels to the specialist location for a referred consultation.....either within state, or many times out of state. In these cases, where the patient is located IS where the consultant is...

Having been in a similar position at one point, passed from doctor to doctor and receiving no real assistance (although most were very nice), I understand the allure of asking "the crowd" for suggestions. These could include...

It's incredible, isn't it, especially when the doctors are all part of the same vast healthcare organization -- and you still have to complete the same paperwork! It's even more frustrating when you know they'll then take...

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.
