@vnewman2, I remember a client telling me once that small businesses power the economy, not the huge enterprises we're all familiar with. Think of the people that work for smaller orgamizations that deal with bosses worse...

@Nemos,
I'm not saying it's not happening. I just said it's based on demand. Not small #s but huge is what makes platforms supported or not.

@shamika, Forgot to mention the frustration factor. I worked in a place where certain people needed fingerprint scanners to get work done. I can't tell you the amount of cursing & screaming I heard b/c the scanners either...

@TerryB, That's the security by obscurity perspective. If mainframes were 'the thing' now, there'd be just as many hacks as Windows & Linux. It's still around but I doubt hackers want to spend the time to 1st learn the...

@jagibbons,
That's especially even more true when you're dealing with really legacy environments!
In reply to: Re: IBM role in cloud computing?
@Kelly22, Agreed. From a business perspective, we need them to stick around. They power everything important in the enterprise. From a consumer level, it'll be interesting to have another 'major' payer. THey're not really...

@Ashu001, Thank you for your comment, To add, even though Apple has some really good, robust producst, most businesses run on Windows (and only use Apple machines for very specific purpose or preference). And the fact...
In reply to: Re: Not everything that Apple does makes perfect Sense.
Not sure if it's only me, but from Samsung what I see when they launch one or two (or three) phones in a year is more of a desperate effort than actual ingenuity. It feels they're trying to cramp every possible feature...

@nasimson, You make a very valid point.... but maybe this is specifically Apple's strategy. And actually...that's a good strategy to see what competitors are doing, and take your time to do the R&D to be able to answer/provide...
In reply to: Re: Apple missing
@Ashu001, You have a good point, I think what might happen is that once a robust product is made available, providers will adopt it so that it's easilly accessible. This would be mainly driven by demand for it (which would...

If Microsoft is providing a lot more searching capabilities from the start menu, it's definitly hitting the nail on the head. Any windows user will also go to the start menu as the first step for most task, so not only...

@Ashu001, It was the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, which had a curved edge that would behave as a separate/complementary display. The fact that it didn't caused much buzzed aside from making some headlines is a good indicator...

@Ashu001, To add to your comment, the level of adoption that smartphones and tablets has achieved is mainly having everyone embrace technology. I mean think about.... today we see people wait in line for days for the latest...

@David, Bendable technoogy will definitly open the same level of doors and paths (if not more) as tablets and smartphone have. Not sure because of the availability of the technolgoy, but it's potential use. "App" is the...

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.
