@melgross- Yes, I know that sounds crazy given the insane amounts of money they make. But I believe the problem is that the phone will hit the same general trajectory as the PC. Remember when you used to have to buy a new...

Thanks for pointing out the ridiculousness of mandatory BYOD. This has been a pet peeve of mine for a long time. And it is precisely the idea that forcing people to pay to do their job is wrong. While i've never heard of...

I'm with Peter. It's about time for healthcare to catch up to other industries when it comes to customer (patient) expectations, and it sounds like Argonaut fills in important niche in pushing the standards and technologies...

TerryB, you're failing to mention all the headaches associated with running ERP on-premises. All the running of infrastructure, the patches, the periodic updates, and, worst of all, the inevitble full-system software upgrades....

It doesn't matter if NSX, vCloud Air, AirWatch, etc. aren't instantly producing big revenues, if they're catching on. They're the spearpoint of the software-defined data center. if the customer base is moving in that directkion,...

Is Donald Sterling even out at this point though?
In reply to: Re: Very Apropos...
@progman2000- I suppose you are right. But what gives me small amount of hope is the NBA situation with Donald Sterling. He had long been thought of as a jerk. He had been sued many times for violating civil rights of his...

@zerox203- Stay safe. Stay warm. One of the things I'm a big fan of these days with multiplayer gaming is casual mobile games like Clash of Clans. You have a clan and are cooperative, but it doesn't take a quick twitch connection...

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.
