I think that finance obviously helps build very wealthy people, but engineering builds businesses. And businesses can create jobs for people. Look at Silicon Valley. While there are a larger contingent of financial people...

Azure Intelligent Systems Service is intriguing to me. It would seem as if Microsoft has been managing adminstration of PC endpoints for years - and so being able to extend that out to embedded systems is a logical step. I...

Carriers will also lose out on significant phone sales. When a phone is stolen, that person buys a new one, often at the non-subsidized price. That's big revenue for carriers and manufacturers. However, cutting down on demand...

Albeit on a smaller scale, this incident reminds me of all the problems that Google had with China years ago. At one point, they just decided that enough was enough. Will they do that with Russia? I doubt it. I don't think...

The application in the container gets part of its operating system services from "user mode" libraries included in the container and part from the Linux kernel on the host server. The parameters in the container insure that...

Kill switches require carriers to be saddled with another regulation, and that means it is going to cost money for them to enforce. What this is going to mean is that those costs are going to be eventually passed on to the...

There are a number of apps can locate your phone in the event of loss, I have used one and was able to get the GPS coordinates to find it. It takes battery life, so the window is limited. I assume the kill switch would be...

I'm sure determined thieves will find a way to bypass this feature. If the phone can be reactivated, then it can be done so by someone other than the manufacturer I'm sure. That said, it's good to see some thought...

It's definitely a feature that should have been introduced on all phones a long time ago - especially considering how the cost of them has risen over the past few years. That said, with phones like the Xperia Z, it...

The kill switch will NOT be used for cell phone theft (like that's what they care about). It has a much larger purpose: to prevent American citizens from petitioning their government. When the big protests begin...

This is not about the govt being able to do this. This is about customers who own the phones being able to do it without having to pay extra to the carriers for the privilege of protecting their property.
In reply to: Re: This is bad. Very, very bad.
The reason that carriers are objecting is very simple - they offer this very service already but as an extra added fee every month. If customers are allowed to do this and to protect their own property in this way, carriers...

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.
