Truly, I love me some Tesla. If I had $70K to use on a car, I'd buy one. No doubt. I'll also probably be first in line for the Model 3. But I have to say, for some reason some of this was offputting to me. The 17 inch tablet...

I could certainly get used to an affordable, driverless car picking me up, whether provided by the city or Uber (whatever's cheaper). But I just hope companies and governments don't phase out human drivers because they're...

We are still allowed to talk by landline, but the cell phone was deemed insecure by the HIPAA compliance officer. It's not totally surprising, given the numerous scandals involved with celebrity cell phones being hacked:...

@rmansker53101- Well, we'll see. I feel like we'v ehad the "humans are too addicted to technology" argument since the wheel. Maybe one day people who say it will be right and we'll kill ourselves and the planet with technology....

Sorry no, it's not the same. No one sued the manufacture because their alarm clock didn't go off and as far as I know, no one has crashed their cell phone into another cell phone that cause a death or dismemberment. We're...

Scary to think of the level of autonomy we are willing to give up in the name of convenience/safety.I don't see why I'd be giving up autonomy. I feel like I'd be gaining it. Sure, sometimes it is fun to drive. But if I'm...

It's the transition that will be tough, when you have a mix of humans and computers on the road. An interesting point. But aren't we already in the middle of that transition? If you have a self-parking car, or a car with...

@smonfort402- A very fair point. I feel that way about dashboard entertainment systems these days. i was just fine with my smartphone plugged into an aux cable to listen to Pandora on the road. Now they have jammed what...

Oh, Curt, but it's not so much the competition of your radio show with the sunny Friday evening as it is the fact that at my local 10pm my eyes sometimes refuse to stay open after having been opened since 5am. :D The early...

@Drew I agree iwth you there but do you think the company of facebook stature will ever be considering ethicality vs profits. I have my serious doubts.

@rmanske53101- I'm pretty sure the argument you're making has been made for smart phones and tablets. I'm pretty sure before that it was made for scheduling software like Outlook. Before that it was probably made for alarm...

However, the idea of having a driverless car is one that I don't think I will ever reconcile myself with. Automated? Maybe, but never driverless. Not even Google (they are trying out driverless cars by the way) can predict...

@Susan, we hope you can be there -- I'd love your thoughts on what the agency is doing. Of course, I know that 1500 EDT is getting into the evening in Europe and there's only so much I can do on the radio to compete with...

Fantastic point. We've already seen the cost of cars more than double in the past 20 years due to the cost of all safety equipment. Additionally, we've seen insurance costs increase since a car in an accident today...

InformationWeek Tech Digest - July 22, 2014Sophisticated attacks demand real-time risk management and continuous monitoring. Here's how federal agencies are meeting that challenge.
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.
IT Salary Survey 2014: Networking
Data center managers make slightly more than networking professionals, with middle-aged men on the coasts faring best. Both staff and management are optimistic about their career paths.
