So funny to now hear CEO's complaining that they can't find anyone qualified to work - but that india is full of all the fake-resume experienced workers that they are looking for. I wonder if 15 years of destroying the professions...

There was a consensus. It's called a vote. Move on.

The key reason is that the EA is not scoped properly as the enterprise wide rather than the IT architecture. All other failure reasons derive from this. Because EA is reporting into IT rather than high enough in the hierarchy...

Google's "mission appears limited to making locally appealing versions of that information locally accessible." Well said. Somehow, technology companies, given a choice between standing up for their core values versus...

It may be footdragging on the IoT, but I hope my refrigerator isn't automatically feeding data into the cloud to be analyzed by appliance salesmen, energy police and psychologists everywhere. I can see why the refrigerator...

Choice is important. Whether it's some flavor of Linux, Mac, Chromebook, Windows 7 or Windows 8x, there are options that each have benefits and draw backs. Unless someone has a specific business need for a specific OS, there's...

Good points on the key messages, Michael. I agree that 4/8/14 is not the end of computing as we know it. However, there does need to be an awareness that if something happens after 4/8/14, Microsoft isn't going to release...

There is no real need for Google Glass. I cannot think of a single moment in my already rather long (tech) life where I thought "Hmmmmm...if my glasses could shoot pictures and video and interact with my smartphone, that...

@anon0242799790: Thanks for commenting. I think you make a fair point that many pundits, myself included, have been saying something along those lines ("align IT with business") for years. But I would counter your reasonable...

I suspect the most effective way to put Glass on the road will be routing mobile app data and car systems data to a HUD on the car window. Wearing a device isn't necessary unless you have to overlay something on the wearer's...

Segway is an apt comparison in terms of hype. And like a Segway, Glass will be useful in certain limited circumstances. I'm more and more convinced that Google's decision to make Glass a general purpose Android device is...
In reply to: Re: Google Glass - Five Reasons i Won't Buy
I'm not a Google Glass fan, but I don't think the Segway comparison is fair. The Internet is incredibly useful as a general tool, and I'm sure there are going to be lots of applications for the hands-free access that Glass...

Hi, I was wondering if the number of views a LinkedIn blog post gets is based on actual clicks to the link? Or scrolling through your news feed and seeing a the blog link count as a view as well? Thanks!

Look at this thing. In a few years, it will seem like the calculators we paid $3,000 for in 1973. I think implantable contact lenses (which were science fiction 10 years ago but on the verge of reality today) are the way...

Does anyone else think it would be a good idea for porno movies to come with a warning label that says: NOT RECOMMENDED FOR VIEWING WHILE OPERATING "THE CLAPPER"?

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.

If you look at vendor financials, the enterprise storage business seems stuck in neutral. Don't believe it.
