@batye- I think the upgrade addiction will slow after a little while. Remember when you used to have to buy a new PC ever year or two to stay current? And that slowed down. Mobile hardware will slowdown, too. And for apps,...

My wife has an iphone 6 work phone. It is certainly faster and smoother than the 5, but I personally don't see anything ground breaking with it. Evedently the glass screen is more fragile as her IT dept insisted...

ServiceNow is moving beyond the IT Help desk and facilities management into new fields. But the basic structure of a service, regardless of department, remains similar. A customer or an employee requests something and the...

@SomeDude8- I'm old, too. It is just my job to watch these kids (at least so I can get them off my lawn). There's nothing wrong with multiple sites serving multiple needs. So there is probably always room for people who...

You bring up an age thing, which is definitely a consideration. I am an old fart at 51 years old. Though I am in IT and love new shiny things and gadgets, when it comes to social media, I want simple and convenient, but...

@jame: Android 's market share is shrinking ! ? Which reports are you referring to? Last time I checked Android had gained considerably at the expense of Nokia and blackberry.
In reply to: Re: WHEN not IF.
@somedude8- Pain or no, it seems to be the direction a lot of people are headed. If Facebook didn't own Instagram it would be more of an issue for Facebook, too. People will store their pictures on the best place to store...

@davidfcarr- So here is an interesting issue. There are many tools and someone decided to fill the gap as the aggregater of those tools. I suppose there is always room for one of those. But not several.

@jastroff- AOL is still here. Yahoo just celebrated its 20th anniversary. One is tempted to say they cater to old people with a different idea of the power of the internet. One is also tempted to say making money on a small...

@Kelly22- I generally agree with you. But I find I am locked in somewhat by the habits of my friends. And many of my friends are FB only. At the risk of making myself (or my friends) sound old, i wonder if that is a generational...

@Gary_EL- Well, the issue I was getting at is not the death of Facebook so much as the morphing of it. The success of Zuckerberg has always been that he's entirely willing to throw out what works in favor of what he thinks...

Two futures are curious to me - maintenance and consumer options. Maintenance - I remember Bruce Schneier commenting on the nature of IoT in terms of security updates. How possible will it be? Will there be something like...
In reply to: Consumer options?
Having a bunch of little sites that I check all the time sounds like a pain. Oh I haven't heard from Joe lately, what is he up to? Lets see, he doesn't use Facebook anymore, I can find him on... ah crap I don't remember...
In reply to: I don't want 75 Social Media specialty sites
Wouldn't that be someone who came with someone because that person like having the person's company? If you already have a preconceived notion about someone or some-thing, then there's probably not a whole lot that...

I really do hope that this is more than HP just adding to its consumer electronics offerings. If they start integrating Aruba's technology with their edge switching I think they will be getting somewhere. If...

In the same way, employees are less willing to accept one common, monolithic collaboration environment because they all have their favorite tools for things like file sharing. I recently joined Redbooth, which acts as a...

Facebook may not be dying anytime soon, but I think you paint an accurate picture of the future of social. I have a folder on my iPhone where I store different social media apps. It's much easier to have a bunch of smaller...

The iPhone and iPhone 6 are putting some serious pressure on Samsung. I wonder how many of Apple's customers would have switched to Android if Apple hadn't made the jump to larger devices.
In reply to: Re: Samsung vs, Apple Smartphone Battle Continues
My impression is that all these people got together and said "Hey, what do YOU want from 5G?" and they made this crazy, bulletpoint list from a bunch of people who can imagine this great "Back to the Future" world where...

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.
