Don't you think the arrival of phablets has pushed ipad sales down ? Although I think the sales are great in number but still it was little surprising that ipad sales were not much as compared to iPhone sales. When I have...

I just can't wait to get my hands dirty with some sort of app development for HoloLens. It really appeals me more than Google Glass and much more excited to develop something for it and test it.

Ah, the good old days of BYOC - bring your own coal - if you want a warm environment to work in. Employers need to provide the equipment if it's mandatory... period. I may CHOOSE to use my personal phone for...

HoloLens does not need a connection to a PC or mobile device to function properly. It can work all alone and this is the key difference between HoloLens and other wearables such as Oculus Rift and Google Glass.

Amazon WorkMail costs $4 per user per month and includes 50 gigabytes of mailbox storage for each user. Does this cost sound good ?

You're right - trying to see everything through a hundred-year filter is extremely difficult, and makes even what seem like very easy calls quite difficult to wrap your head around. As you pointed out in the article, and...

There are plenty of reasons why to upgrade to the latest ipad. :) Read my comment below, so I don't repeat myself. :)

Curt, I am also a tablet fan, more specifically iPad fan. :) The more things I discover my iPad Air 2 can do the more I love it. :D I recently discovered it can read aloud my own writings, which I find it great for...

Internet explorer and its variations have always been a pain for web developers. I hope Spartan changes things. I really liked the idea of changing the name and not coming up with another Internet Explorer X version.&nbs...

Free upgrade to Win 10, cant wait to more. Its a very smart move by microsoft to expand it user base.On the other hand I would still wait for someone to upgrade before I upgrade myself. I still think upgrading could be r...

I have to say, I didn't even notice the outage. The hype from some pubications on this are akin to the hype we had about the snow storm in the northeast. It was said to be "historic" until it happened and proved to be just...

Well I can say without a doubt that many very good programmers live this way for about half the year. When the development cycle started to near alpha release time the offices turned on an informal 24/7 schedule and...

@Curt Franklin, I agree with that. Why upgrade to the latest tablet besides the show appeal. Once you can't run the latest iOS version, it's only a matter of time before the apps won't run either. I'm still shocked when...

@asksqn, I'm usually in the crowd that waits for the *.1 version to be released before I jump in. But I didn't even use Win8. 8.1 is decent minus the Metro UI. It just seems like a little faster Win7 build. But I've heard...

@asksqn,
Doesn't that seem like a conflict of intereset. But then again, who better than someone in the communications industry to be the chair?

@Curt Franklin, They're trying to get more use out of their cloud. I guess they figure it couldn't hurt since the AWS utilization isn't spiking in the way they expected. They have huge scaling capabilites so once the email...

@SaneIT,
Ahh how familar that schpiel sounds. Nothing better than getting trapped on a conf call where someone says something like that then a few others pile on as well.

It's interesting to me that, unlike many other major industries, software providers are not subject to ethical codes that bar them from selling to multiple competitors in a field because of conflicts of interest. Maybe...

It seems to me that these numbers are confirmation of something that has become obvious to most observers: That the tablet replacement cycle looks much more like that of laptops than that of cell phones. I suspect that the...

@Charlie, your question echoes one I've heard several network security specialists ask. They point out that "man in the middle" attacks are quite possible in public WiFi areas and that the venues (like hotels and conference...

@ProfTheory, anything remotely like "intentional interference" isn't allowed in the US. The FCC's decision seems to be a clarification that this interference can be at essentially any network layer and still be considered...

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.
