I tend to agree with you. Nadella is an intellectual and gets caught up in high-minded rhetroic (with occasional lapses into business-speak). He's not unlike Pres. Obama in that sense. Earnest but a bit too cerebral. He...

I suppose Microsoft is doing what it should. It should simplify Windows to "One Windows" across all devices. It's good branding. But the OS doesn't matter anymore for getting stuff done across devices. MS was doing the same...
In reply to: 'One Windows' a marketing ploy
I have the highest hopes for Nadella but I really wish he would back off from the ethereal babble. Going with "less is more" here just created a head-scratching WTF moment for me. Microsoft appears to be operating like an...

The biggest reason that complexity grows unchecked is that people typically add to their IT infrastructure with a whole lot more frequency than they subtract from it. You end up constantly adding things. Something doesn't...

@SaneIt. that is fantastic. I have a cousin whom is trying to find various ways to save his hair. He told me there is one pill on the market but it cost him $300 a bottle. He told me that the majority of...

The insurance robot would probably melt from not only the paperwork but the changing requirements and regulations. I could see each day starting out with an update.

For years I have been reading about ways to kill tumours without surgery but nothing has been realized yet. A maggot sized bot sounds interesting but so did all the other theories I have heard. I remember one where they...

Thanks so much for posting this article!! We totally agree with the majority of the points that you make and would like to add the following: Adopting User-Centered Design (UCD) methodologies saves money (10-100x ROI) Adopting...

They will probably find the gene responsible for baldness and modify it before they get a robot to cure it. They also found the gene for grey hair so soon Just For Men and Clairol could be out of business.

Ahh, that is much more understandable. Much thanks for the clarification. :)

Thanks for sharing this, Edward. The mixed response here in the comments already says a lot, I think, about IPv6 and what it means to IT people. It's an important piece of the modern puzzle, and from a "news" perspective...

I probably could have paraphrased Nadella, instead of quoting him directly from the earnings call, since he stumbled a bit over the statement. But he basically means that if you're a Windows developer, it doesn't matter...

I was quite curious, as someone who does tech support for a living, about Microsoft's new platform. So, I found this article online, and eagerly read it. But then I came across this: "Now we have one team...

iPhones do just fine. If they didn't, then they wouldn't be the biggest choice for both business and government today. Do,you see Microsoft phones and tablets above the small single digit share there? Anywhere? No. Can...

But some of the features don't even make any sense, technically, or in user friendliness. The concept of a 3D UI, is already known to not work well. Apple tried with a minor 3D effect in iOS 7, and people said it made them...

@SaneIT that is not part of the plan for the immediate future. It would be problematic for a few reasons. 1. they would have to first analyze what's out there are be sure it is safe and usabel. 2. mining space bodies in...

@David, only because you asked it's not new technology, I rememer seeing this on tech sites a few years ago but now there is a hospital using it.

In the name of supply chains for space did you address using planets/moons for collecting raw materials? Watching the rover on Mars that just keeps on going one day, I stopped and wondered to myself what if it could...

@PedroGonzales, good news, it won't take robots to re-grow hair. Recently an arthritis drug ( tofacitinib citrate) has been shown to reverse alopecia. Much less invasive than a robot hair farmer running...

@Ashu001, I'm aware of much larger surgical robots but nothing the size of a maggot. The closest to that I've seen is a camera swallowed to view the lower GI tract. I think something the size of a grain of rice...

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.
