I am curious to hear what doctors think of this idea. The dark side would be if a patient invested a lot of time in a crazy theory. Weigh in please, health pros.

I think that MOOCs can make it easier for IT pros, but that still requires the IT pro to have the initiative and self-discipline to complete the course. The other thing I've long recommended for IT pros is an online library...

Using words like "holdouts' and "excuses" indicates that you are on the Microsh*t payroll. We don't need to buy junk like Win8 when XP works just fine. Personally I have XP machines and Win7 machines. I might upgrade XP...

I'm personally happy to see Microsoft making a clear statement in that they want to focus on driving business analytics from data, and really push cloud and mobility. They have the pedigree, as with SQL and excel,...

It makes sense that IBM would put a strong play for disaster recovery considering that this will undoubtedly be one of the more in-demand services when it comes to first stage cloud adoption. The trick will be to see...

I agree, it's not the perfect solution for everyone, but the beauty of this model aside from rapid deployment, is that if developers can make the applications fully contained, the usability for more novice cloud folks will...

Thanks for weighing in, Joe and Jonathan. Sounds like we better explore this subject with further opinion columns.
In reply to: Re: Too many features, not enough benefits
Lawrence, don't MOOCs make it easier than ever for IT pros to learn a new skill or brush up on an existing one? Seems to me online learning suits this need well. Less expensive than the training classes of old, too. On another...

It's great to see Microsoft building a strong strategy around the IoT, especially as the market starts to see other solutions coming from folks like SAP. The real question is how Microsoft can build in security controls...

A company I used to work for was a strong Lync shop, but honestly, most users still relied on it as an IM system. Lync has a strong potential to replace a full UC build, and offers great services in terms of desktop...

I agree with Lorna, while yes there are other solutions that came to the party long ago, the real benefit that comes from Chrome Remote Desktop is that if it is easy to use, as in simply running an app, you'll see higher...

What do you agree to let FB do with the location data, when you turn the feature on? I will pass.

I agree, while the intended use might be for law enforcement and security, I can see commercial companies being very interested in the technology to use for customer profiling. For example, if they were able to catch...
