Twenty years in IT, with some major Fortune 100s, and large federal agencies. Too many times I have seen IT leaders who are fully incompetatent or on the verge of imcompetence. Soon after they open their mouths one realizes...

Anyone you really care about you see quite often, the other 4,000 'friends' - really ? It's not needed unless you are building a client list for potential customers. Facebook is well past its prime, and more people...
In reply to: Already Did. Not Missing it one bit. More free time to do what I want to do.
Yes, I could, but I would miss it. I like Drew Conry-Murray's suggestion that a few million of us conduct experiments on Facebook, that the slanted and misleading postings that we'd put up would be covered by Facebook's...
In reply to: Not to worry, covered by Facebook's terms of use
I upgraded my old PC XP computer to windows 7 a while ago. I'm pretty satisfied. Many people are really jeopardizing their security if they continue to use XP.

Satya Nadella is trying to build on Microsoft's existing strength in the enterprise data center and its own cloud data centers, as well as in devices and on the desktop. This is much smarter than just succumbing to Apple-envy....

@progman2000- I have to give the Puddy props to our own Rob Preston. I had forgotten the scene. He suggested it. It is a classic, and I owe it to him. I hope you don't think less of me for it. :)

@Thomas- They can't really specify because everyone's pain tolerance is different. But the way the study descirbes it, everyone was asked to do it once. They all agreed it hurt. And they all agreed that they didn't want...

Got tired of the insanity and feeling like a lab rat, so I quit a week ago. Not missing it a bit.
In reply to: Have already quit.
I stopped this year in the middle of February after being active on FB daily since February 2008. I used to have it open all the time and would react every time there was a notification on my phone, and that's not healthy....

I struggle to understand why anyone cares about what I or anyone does on a daily basis? Here is an idea, take a walk, talk to your kids, run a non-profit for the neediest children in your community. Sure there are some good...

which means I spend hour upon hour running by myself to train, usually with no music player or nothing but my own thoughts. Not the same as sitting in solitary, but I still think I can handle doing nothing before shocking...

Eh... I quit Facebook for good almost four years ago and have not had the slightest desire to go back. Good riddance to that time-wasting privacy violation. Could I quit it for 99 days? I don't think I could stomach using...
In reply to: 99 Days?
I expect we'll make a distinction between desktop computers and mobile computers as long as we need fans and space to cool hot-running desktop chips. If we can get speed without much heat, there's no reason not to put the...

Does the study specify how significant the shock was and whether its severity (or lack of it) was accurately conveyed? If it were no more than the static electricity jolt from taking off a sweater in winter, then the suggestion...

In-app purchasing has hurt gaming. $49 or $99 for a set of virtual acorns or whatever? The whole system is just cynical. And yet developers have to do it because the platform owners have set impossibly low price expectations....

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.
