First there's the Dell Tower, vintage 1999 within reach of my home "corner" office. I use that to stack old reporters notebooks from that pre y2k-era. (You never know when you'll need to look up an old contact.) There there...

Good news for holiday shoppers. It always amazes me when companies like Apple aren't prepared for the demand of a new gadget like the iPhone 5. Or maybe that's part of the novelty: "I was able to get ahold of one before...

To be fair, he only presented the viewpoints of another article. However, I agree that the viewpoints of THAT author are historically myopic, most likely for a political stand. As some others have said, there will always...

Yah I agree 100%. Especially like fundamental advice to focus on customers and outsource where you can - now 'cloud' has more options <<maybe it's worth looking at how to leverage third party providers to...

Younger "executives" or managers have difficulty even communicating with older personnel. It's not doing budgets that's the issue, it's managing people. That goes beyond being "task master" or traffic control. Understanding...

We went to the OKC store at 0730 and was #11 & 12 in line (with wife). Got them at $99 each and the store staff was great. The process was very smooth and they offered free drinks to everyone in line.

@danielcawrey At least as far as security is concerned, I believe that the lack of management support is a direct result of the lack of visibility into security. Management gets a very unclear and spotty view of security...

@Shane absolutely. I also advise my daughter to just write down what's bothering her -- not in a public forum but just on paper to vent privately.

Take a look at my situation if you would: I was 5th in line at 7:00am in Oak Brook, IL. Then, the manager (?) posts this sign. After he saw me taking a picture of his posted sign, he came to the door. According...

You guys have done what a lot of the media seems to have picked up: written a headline that's at odds with the article. You did a great job describing that the 'tracking' is entirely permission based. You need an app, you...
