@vnewman2- Wow, that's fascinating. Without bringing up anything too horrific or traumatizing for you, could you be more specific on how they are different? I'd love ot know what, if anything, robots could do to fill in...

Having meted out so much to help healthcare organizations invest in EHRs, it's unsurprising that CMS is now auditing practices, hospitals, and others to ensure they are doing what regulations call for. The best part apart...

@glenbren- Costs of robots are coming down. Unfortunately, I don't know the cost of the RIBA, but the Jibo is just $400. that seems nearly impossible 10 years ago. I think the key to making them cost effective is to free...

@imapctnow- At least you know the robot maggot will leave your brain when it is done. :)and you are right about the blood draw robot. I think this one is eaisly underestimated. Not only in terms of time savings but pain...

There is no one left to trust in America. No faith left in any American corporation. Your government has absolutely betrayed you. American government and corporations are one and the same. The corruption is so complete,...

I suspect the bigger iPhones will sell as well as Apple reportedly projects, and that it will indeed mitigate demand for the iPad Mini. But it's clear there's at least some room for growth in the plus-sized tablet market,...

Well put, Charlie. Nadella's trying to break down some reinforced cultural walls right now, in an attempt to make Microsoft move more like the Silicon Valley start-ups who've begun to encroach on Redmond's turf. I think...

@soozyg - I am with you on this one - by far my favorite. I worked as a lifeguard for about 10 years as a teenager and college student into my early 20s. I've taken all types of first aid, CPR, and lifesaving...

Good point about VCs, which shouldn't be neglected from the conversation. At least during the current tech renaissance, they've certainly forced the issue.

It will be a big decision for facebook to try this, because if people get pissed off, it wont take much time for people to shift from one social media to another, orkut is an example. It would be better to keep a seperate...
In reply to: Hi
You pointed out some possible points of failure. I'd like to see them counter act those by perhaps placing more conscientious personnel in the relevant positios to try and ensure that this will be a success.

Injuries are the bane of an athlete's career, not to mention their team (if they belong in one) and to their fans, who can no longer see them play. So to say that less injuries is a good thing is definitely an understatement,...
In reply to: Re: big data in sports can minimize player injury
It'll be interesting stuff, that's for sure. I do believe the focus should be on tablets and mobile ,as that is where most people are headed these days, considering the trends and growing market share.

Ahhh, yes, of course. The NSA connection. So much data, so much to sift through, all in the name of national security.
In reply to: Re: Googel pay phone plan
Definitely. I suppose for years, people have been thinking what on earth was to become of these payphones. Now that it's been announced, the reception has been generally positive, I believe.

The mobile internet providers won't be happy, but the people will be. I, for one, will not be complaining. I think this is a great thing, specially for connectivity.

I think Microsoft is still relevant especially when it comes to computer software. Also, what they're doing with the Surface tab is something to watch out for, so I would not count them out just yet.

@Dave Telemedicine -- definitely. This is one of those areas where we've sort of missed the boat in terms of quality of care for rural patients and reducing costs. In actuality, there are many small areas that would be better...

True, Zaious. It's a smart way to turn something that's otherwise not as useful into something more relevant for the people in the area.
In reply to: Re: A good use
Any references or further insight as to why you see a trend where people will be less sensitive when it comes to privacy issues? I believe it is the latter, but I'm interested to hear why you think that.

InformationWeek - July 21, 2014Our new survey shows fed agencies focusing more on security, as they should, but they're still behind the times with cloud and overall innovation.
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.
