Alison - That is a great point about most health care providers not having a CSIO. I will reach out to a couple of health care clients and see what their take on that is and follow up with another post.

@Bhori- As much as I get the concept, I find one annual review for just myself annoying. If I had to do a 360 review for my entire team every month, I think I'd fail to get a lot of stuff done. Is there a way to shorten...

@SaneIT- Agreed. What happened to just making promises and delivering what you promise? That seems good enough for 90% of the things in this world.

Pretty much exactly how I feel about it: nice technology, but I'll let someone else test it for me. I'm also a little wary of letting the hotel have anything to do with my smartphone. They already try and extract a...

I'm aware the operating systems themsevels are free, but with the Google and Apple OS' carving up such large chunks of the industry, they have enough sway to have an influence on many aspects of it. I'd be surprised if they...

The fewer things I need to take with me out the door the better. Seems Hilton is following in the footsteps of Disney's MagicBand wearable that serves as hotel room key as well as credit card and park ticket. The vulnerabilities...

People keep coming back to their website for a reason: they enjoy the experience they get there. As long as they'll pay attention to what most of us want they will never lack visitors. If you want an awesome gambling experience...

This is an important point. While researching for stories for my articles and books, I spoke to executives in the well functioning health information exchange in Delaware. I learned that the cost of a typical transaction...

@ Number 6: Yes, we have bonuses which were supposed to be performance related. But unfortunately, at most places merit of the review becomes closeness and personal liking of the reviewer rather than the actual performance....
In reply to: Re: No more Mr. Scott
@ Lorna & Dave: I am in favor of 360° monthly performance review which sums up to annual appraisal. This way, time and latest performance biases can be avoided. Surely, it would be time consuming but it only once need...

Tons of alternatives to both Garageband and iMove for free while many of the pay alternatives are even better.

Drones with cameras and drones with guns, those are real issues / dangers but probably largely outside the scope of FAA regulation. There will probably be a whole separate set of regulations / laws from law enforcement to...

I know there is a lot of excitement about Google Glass and apps that go with it, but there are a lot of other companies innovating in this area as well.
In reply to: Is Google really at the center of the healthcare wearables action?
The name of the game is "control", not going to happen with FireFox as it would always be a shared environment. As posted in other comments Samsung is a Google/Apple want to be not a Firefox want to be.

Exactly Charlie -- just ask Apple and its trumpeting of OS X gains in enterprise. Twenty percent quarterly jumps sound good until you realize that's up from 3%.

Its always better for consumers to have more choices and more competition so I was hoping something could come of Tizen but if Blackberry and HP couldn't pull off an alternate OS while Microsoft's WinPhone struggles I dont'...

Often walk out sans keys. Never, ever walk out sans phone. The only downfall is if someone's battery dies while they are out of the room. The desk should keep on hand a supply of external backup power supplies.
In reply to: Very clever
Price fixing, really? You are worried Google will start charging for Android? Not going to happen. Apple doesn't charge for iOS and never will either. That just leaves you with Windows Phone and guess what,...

EHR advocates argue one reason the software has been less effective is because of interoperability. Since Hospital A cannot necessarily communicate with Dr. X, Lab Y, or Hospital C, savings are nonexistent. As Mansur said...

As one high-level security consultant told me, many healthcare organizations don't have a chief security officer (or CISO) to oversee security so the whole area of security is managed incorrectly. Then there's the battle...

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.
IT Salary Survey 2014: Networking
Data center managers make slightly more than networking professionals, with middle-aged men on the coasts faring best. Both staff and management are optimistic about their career paths.
