@David - hahahaha! Can you even imagine the er...surprise on my face? I didn't know who Perry Como was!
Leif is welcome in my house anytime btw...

"Drones, here for good but perhaps not as common as you think." That verdict may hold, especially after the FAA, FBI and CIA review how a goernment employee was able to let a drone slip out of control and crash onto the...
In reply to: Ah, about that drone crash on the White House grounds....
The use of what seems like a good, modern idea, using a cloud data center as your backup site registers 14% using such a technique extensively, 21% using it in a limited fashion. That's a little less than I would have expected,...

@SamRay- Please keep contributing. this is what a community is for-- to ask questions and see what we can learn. None o fus has all the answers but each of us as some of the answers. We're here to exchange ideas and build...

People spend time playing games. People spend time watching TV. To that extent, it is worthwhile having long discussions about everything and anything. I am not interested in a discussion based on the premise that we cannot...

@vnewman2- Somehow I missed this comment until now. That is worse than asking for a Red Rider BB Gun and being told you would shoot your eye out. I think that might be the most tragic Christmas story ever told. I'm seriously...

@imapctnow- good advice. Though I sometimes feel like my kids would happily replace me. :)I wonder if this all gets back to a simple thing-- people like to think they can multi-task when study after study shows they aren't...
In reply to: Re: Engagement in the moment
@TerryB- Well, sometimes you play it straight. Some time you play it funny. I take this really seriously, because i think millennials are getting a bad name in business. There are more of them in the work place than us old...

Yes, Apple has a loyal following, but Microsoft helped enlarge its customer base by not playing to its own strengths sooner than it did. The last phase of the Ballmer era was marked by Apple-envy, leading to Windows 8. I...
In reply to: Microsoft should go after its own customers, not Apple's
@jries921- Well, I'm sympathetic to Bud in the sense that the game was just recovering from the '94 strike. The home run chase was giving it the "juice" it needed (pun intended). Baseball had a cocaine problem in the 1980's...

@samray- Well, not futile, necessarily. But we'll never no the real answer. Sometimes the question yields interesting things even if you never get the right answer, don't you think?

I suspect strongly that allegations of widespread steroid use (which turned out to be true) would have been dealt with a lot more promptly and decisively if the traditional structure had remained, Landis wouldn't have...

Thank you, David. So it is futile to ask why they skipped a version.

@whoopty- I think it is using cloud processing. I think it requires a connection. Still, your point is taken that the helmet alone seems unlikely to be useful without support. I'm OK with that though even if I need to be...

@Pedro- Sometimes with something like this, first mover advantage doesn't help. I think Microsoft learned from the mistakes it was seeing. Sort of reminds me of what iPhone did to Blackberry. Blackberry was great right up...
In reply to: Re: Game changer
@SamRay- I'm sure at any given moment there are multiple versions of potential new versions of Windows floating around inside Microsoft so you are probably right that there was a 9 they never used.

I have to say I like Bud Selig. He's done a pretty good job of cleaning up baseball after a rough start. The revenue is up. The parity is great. The game is as clean as can be expected (it will never be perfect). And now...

Those kinds of questions are key to not living in the state of insanity, i.e. doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
In reply to: Re: The Football in the Room
@jagibbons- Oh no! Do you mean to say that getting my nose broken is now a tradition? Or my kidney stones? It is going to be a tough few years ahead. :)I swear that every business would be benefit from always asking the...

That's a large part of it, but trying to figure out who should appoint/elect the Commissioner instead strikes me as a can of worms; hence my proposal to give responsibility for business affairs to a President appointed by...
In reply to: Re: People can reform
@jries921- I've always thought the problem with sports commissioners is that they work for the owners, not the game. When they do something "for the good of the game" it is actually for the bottem line of the owners. I think...

InformationWeek Tech Digest, Dec. 9, 2014Apps will make or break the tablet as a work device, but don't shortchange critical factors related to hardware, security, peripherals, and integration.
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.
