Congratulations, Jonathan! And thanks for sharing your story and insight. It's important to demonstrate that moving to cloud isn't all "rainbows and sunshine," as you say, but the benefits should outweigh the challenges...

I think IT has to be a bit of a combo-pack, aiming toward Soul Mate (no roses needed, though!), but with a bit of friendly curmudgeon thrown in. Now, this isn't a grouch for the sake of it; rather, it's a team that ensures...

Rarely are IT leaders (or any leaders) great at everything they're charged with doing, so it's imperative they recruit or train a few core people to be their right-hand managers for areas of weakness. That's also part of...

I took a look at the full digest, and it was very much worth the five seconds it took to click through to the download. I love the quick blog format as much as the next guy, but it lacks some of the depth (not to mention...

Wow it is really great to see your post. The auto driver always look for these type of features in their cars. When a car user driving and he do not know where to go , it will help the driver to know the direction....

For some of us I think that we are more driven by our interests than by "comfort" in cases like this we don't tend to care if someone had many traits that we have we just look for one key trait like the love for a hobby...

I know that it's good information to have but it does make me wonder how much you can do with those 4 year crime statistics. I know you can increase police presence at least for a short time but what if budgets don't...

As creepy as a maggot bot sounds, the ability to make a tiny robot that can move through delicate parts of the body to reach a tumor and destroy it is an amazing concept. This isn't just great for brain tumors, it...

This is definitely an interesting topic, but I'm a little skeptical of the research itself. You said it was piggybacked on research from all the way back in 50s? Why is that? Why didn't the Yale and UYC San Diego researches...

Nice write up, I see the KUL folks are at it again with their pears at Princeton and as I read their initial paper about fingerprinting some months ago, I'm happy to see there's a follow up with stuff we've been facing for...

In reply to: Re: nifty, but not likely
@David, that's a good point and what makes this research so startling. Is that the differences we somehow pick up are so subtle and beyond the usual racial and socioeconomic differences that we typically fixate on as a society....

You're right. There is a huge problem with the lack of cloud-ready IT people. There's a great infographic here: http://bit.ly/1pkao0O that outlines the cloud skills gap and how people really need to be educated to...

Building a Mobile Business Mindset

Yes, the touch-versus-keyboard interface, APIs, and programming languages are new, but that’s arguably the easy part.
