I can't claim credit (culpability?) for the above attempts at humor. My cousin Joe Tully, the wit of our extended family, fed me a bunch of these. Got any barbs yourself?

I would like to have a Glass like product just for the HUD, if I could pair a device with my phone though and get the display on a Glass like display I'd be happy. The natural question would be "why" but if you've...

There is already a much more affordable tool out there for your needs - The ReconJet is way cool. I saw a banner ad for it months ago and it gives exactly what you are talking about at half of the price of Glass. Plus,...

This guy has a talent shortage all right, but it's in his HR department. He says he wants seasoned talent and boasts a game room? Something's not right here. And seasoned talent is not what you get from India. Creative writing...

You are right, Kristen. I don't trust Facebook because I don't believe that they can keep my info secure. I've followed stories in the recent past about how their awkward privacy settings unwittingly exposed users hidden...

There was a consensus. It's called a vote. Move on.

The key reason is that the EA is not scoped properly as the enterprise wide rather than the IT architecture. All other failure reasons derive from this. Because EA is reporting into IT rather than high enough in the hierarchy...

Google's "mission appears limited to making locally appealing versions of that information locally accessible." Well said. Somehow, technology companies, given a choice between standing up for their core values versus...

It may be footdragging on the IoT, but I hope my refrigerator isn't automatically feeding data into the cloud to be analyzed by appliance salesmen, energy police and psychologists everywhere. I can see why the refrigerator...

Choice is important. Whether it's some flavor of Linux, Mac, Chromebook, Windows 7 or Windows 8x, there are options that each have benefits and draw backs. Unless someone has a specific business need for a specific OS, there's...

Good points on the key messages, Michael. I agree that 4/8/14 is not the end of computing as we know it. However, there does need to be an awareness that if something happens after 4/8/14, Microsoft isn't going to release...

There is no real need for Google Glass. I cannot think of a single moment in my already rather long (tech) life where I thought "Hmmmmm...if my glasses could shoot pictures and video and interact with my smartphone, that...

@anon0242799790: Thanks for commenting. I think you make a fair point that many pundits, myself included, have been saying something along those lines ("align IT with business") for years. But I would counter your reasonable...

I suspect the most effective way to put Glass on the road will be routing mobile app data and car systems data to a HUD on the car window. Wearing a device isn't necessary unless you have to overlay something on the wearer's...

Segway is an apt comparison in terms of hype. And like a Segway, Glass will be useful in certain limited circumstances. I'm more and more convinced that Google's decision to make Glass a general purpose Android device is...
In reply to: Re: Google Glass - Five Reasons i Won't Buy
I'm not a Google Glass fan, but I don't think the Segway comparison is fair. The Internet is incredibly useful as a general tool, and I'm sure there are going to be lots of applications for the hands-free access that Glass...

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.

If you look at vendor financials, the enterprise storage business seems stuck in neutral. Don't believe it.
