There have been instances of celebrities' medical images getting into the hands of gossip sites like TMZ already. The employees always sound to have been fired -- but not before picking up a chunk of change from paparazzi....

Yes, again, I said this exactly in my previous post, people should get themselves informed and chose for themselves. I stated that very clearly in fact. I don't get what you are saying. Are you saying there should be no...

@vnewman2 - Good points.

"Apple, Google, and Microsoft are seasoned veterans and masters at what they do." This is a brave statement. I would say Apple, Google and Microsoft are the wizened veterans, who sometimes seem to know what they're doing....

Great article and topic, Jeff. I agree with Bill – this is one case where it's good to be a hoarder. In my opinion big data requires having access to as much data as possible, retained over the longest period of time...

The graphic posted is pretty much the extent of data available, so no Rackspace info. It's all based on publically available revenue data, but they had to weed out SaaS, which is a component of multiple vendor cloud offe...

With his protracted layoff, Nadella is trying to squeeze out the "best" Microsoft workers. By "best", I mean the American nerds who do their job well and get paid well and are ill-equiped to handle the vast office-politicking...

Identity Integration? Is that different than self-awareness?

@vnewman2- Oh, it is a wonder you ever married him. :)Seriously I get that. I would have felt the same way. But let me give you a counter example that I think makes people think that works more than it does-- movies. Haven't...

I'm not making any argument at all. My previous post speaks for itself. NEITHER method is 100 percent secure. This is life.

@Number6- I always assume salaries for STEM were like salaries for athletes. It isn't that they need or want the money so much as it is a way of keeping score and measuring the respect you receive. And specifically for engineers,...

The fact is, EHRs are more expensive, more dangerous and less secure than paper records. So what is your argument?
In reply to: Re: Defending the value of EHR versus paper
@Darrell - I'm not debating that. Everything has an element of risk. Everything. Except doing nothing. And that's an option too. You have to decide for yourself how much risk you are going to take...

So to distill your message, you're positing that Nadella's grand plan is to lay off large numbers of Microsoft's US citizen tech workers, replace a significant number of those people with (presumably) less expensive Indian...

The photography questions with regard to drones have just started. We will need much more privacy protection as consumers than the current laws ever envisioned us needing.

@Alison. Hahahaha :) Why live outside if there's perfectly good shelters available I always say... You make a good point. If I ask for something from a client and expect it on a certain day, if it shows...

InformationWeek Tech Digest - July 22, 2014Sophisticated attacks demand real-time risk management and continuous monitoring. Here's how federal agencies are meeting that challenge.
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.
