It's interesting that we know these roadmaps are "aspirational" -- yet this is one of the repeated complaints about Google as an enterprise software vendor, that it does not provide enough roadmap guidance. It's like we...

Bill, I'm struck by your mention of application firewalls, which ties in very nicely with a recent column by Jeff Williams, CEO & Co-Founder, Aspect Security and also a founding members of the Open Web Application Security...

December 9, 2013 at 3:36 pm Bull, they never sold any at $99, I logged in to store at 9:00est, at 10:00est here is what everyone got "placeholder error file", at 10:09 "no add to cart" but price was moved up to $199, then...

See how brazen people are about using these bots? This is a well-known vulnerability for these types of sales. If microsoft has no intention of securing the sale so that it can't be stolen like this, they shouldn't...

Ultimately, the success of any Internet of things application will hinge on how useful/indispensable it becomes. While an Internet-connected home thermostat may look cool and its uses may sound cool, what is it really adding? "What...

While the tablet is on sale today it's for 199 I just spoke with the manager at my local Microsoft Store and he said the deal was always just for 199. They have plenty in stock as well at that price but it's not cheap enough...
In reply to: Never was true
It's clear the 99 for a decent tablet would make a killing on the market, the entire ms site is overwhelmed and won't even load anymore all 50 of my bots are idle now
In reply to: Ms site is struggling
I had 50 bots running in instances of chrome and Firefox since 9:30 and they never saw the 99 deal, only two got to the checkout page but the price was 199 then
In reply to: Re: Deal Stolen By Bots
As I feared, this deal was stolen by people using bots. The website was pretty much down 15 minutes before the deal, showing loading or 404 messages. Repeated refreshing would occasionally bring up the product...

GM Michael, First of all, thanks for taking time and documenting what would have been a great buy for quite a few people. I dont think you have any other but sincere intentions. It turns out that at 7am PST/10am EST today...

Hi Susan - I didn't meant you, as in Susan. Sorry if it sounded that way. I meant "you" as in the typical person, in the hypothetical sense.

Bill, great video, I liked seeing the detailed example showing a specific security product and the different functionality it includes. Can you recommend other vendors that offer similar mobile security platforms as well...

I'm sorry, but the availability of touch-enabled PCs does not prove anything. PC sales are slumping and manufacturers are desperate to prop up sales. They're hoping against hope that Windows 8 and a touch UI will turn things...

I don't think robots taking our jobs has to be a bad thing. If humans are smart enough to make automated systems and robots that can do a lot of the functions humas are doing now, then they should also be able to apply themselves...

Adaptive specialists. I think you've coined an HR term, Coverlet. Without having put a name to it, I find myself looking for just such qualities in an editorial hire.

What a great idea, touch applications on a tablet. Why didn't I think of that? The fact that Microsoft doesn't or didn't think "touch first" applications were necessary for a successful tablet product is just dumbfounding. ...

@Michael yes, to get the most out of the technology, stores will have to have their products neatly arranged and defnitively separated. However, sometimes putting things together is intentional, as the intent is that seeing...

I wouldn't bet against Google either but if I were buying in to the service now and I had the option to pay for an acceptable guaranteed level of service I think I'd go ahead and pay that premium. While I...

I know that sometimes it feels over done to compare every tablet to an iPad but it is the experience that most people want to see a comparison with. I think we'll stop seeing the need for that comparison once the Windows...
