At the time when IoT can help to reduce African hunger, help remote health tracking for elderly at home, reduce traffic accidents, save energy ... we are seeing funding of pet fitness trackers. For IoT, the best of the times...

A good example of robots complementing rather than replacing labor to make labor more efficient without taking jobs away is Kiva's warehouse robots -- technology purchased by Amazon a couple of years ago.
In reply to: Re: America: Thy Future is Dystopian
This is a false argument. What jobs disappear are replaced by different jobs with different skill sets (someone has to program and build those robots/self-driving cars/etc., after all).Plus, truck drivers don't have...

It's the Peter Principle of the '80s, and I too have seen it starting to make a comeback -- partly because of a broken compensation system and how difficult it's gotten to fire poor performers.

While losing Chase was a strong blow to MS's goal of 20% mobile market share. There are still many companies that will want the exposure where ever they can get it - yet MS should probably take a page out of Google's...

@asksqn It really doesn't look good for aspiring Windows Phone developers.
In reply to: Re: Zzzzzzzzzzz Buy an Android instead
"...Chase this week, for example, pulled its mobile application from the Windows Phone Store." You have to be really bad to be rejected by Chase. For a company that holds questionable technolgical knowledge,...

I think sometimes we are caugh up in the negatives of AI, but we forgot of the many benefits it could bring. I think such benefits can really impact our lives. Live language translation, decision support tools that...
In reply to: Re: Will to survive -- where does AI get it?
I guess this is what happens when you see a market, have no expertise in it but have enough money to buy into it. Thus the Window Phone was born. What a waste of time and effort. They could have used...

I love that phrase, the Tyranny of the Talk Up! But I don't want to get in a trademark dispute so I'll leave it to you to promote.
In reply to: Re: IoT: Tyranny of the Talk Up
Yes, people love their dogs. I love my dog too. But I have a very simple way of tracking his activity. Did I take him for a walk today? Yes. For half an hour? Great! I have successfully tracked his activity, and it didn't...
In reply to: I love my dog
This is bit of a new experience for me.however promotion would anu way have more work.
In reply to: Re: Another Reason
@ vnewman2. you are right. In this country, people really love their dogs and they are willing to spend a lot of money on them. I wouldn't be surprised if it did become the biggest thing. I really want to know...

i agree. I used to watch long hours of the twilight show. It was one of my favorite shows. But, now i have found it I can do other things with my time than watching for many hours a tv show. I think if people...

@Doug: Perhaps the key here is not the technology players themselves, but the shift that is taking place within the enterprise. It seems enterprise IT is close to reaching a tipping point in terms of how its role will change,...
In reply to: Re: 2015? Are you sure that's not 2013?
I agree with you. AI could never replace a cheap labor wherever it is in the world. Even though, there are driverless cars being develop it would probably take a lot of time before they are in all our rounds. ...

Dave, I'm with you on this one. I watch an obscene amount of TV at times. I'm an only child. Growing up, the TV was kind of companion and in my house, the TV was mostly always on if someone was home. Like an audience....

So at first I was like, ummmm what? But you know what? People LOVE their dogs...
Just sayin.

That is not good news, hopefully we will see a fix shortly. Luckily adoption cycles tend to be slow, so it will be awhile before corporate rollouts are done, giving lots of time for testing. A great reminder that mobile...

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.
