Personally, I couldn't care less about the Super Bowl so I won't be writing any Tweets about it. Also, I don't buy that the NFL has patched its leaky app. And I'm OK with binge TV watching since it could be so...

I think it's only a matter of time before the world sees the first CDS: Chief Data Scientist pulling down some obscene annual salary based on the "sexiness" of the hip-to-be-square meme being fed to intended audiences...

@asksqn- Well, you're probably right. I don't think too many people would ever turn down a promotion, but there's got to be a turning point, or as you say, everyone is worse off. The person who took the promotion is worse...
In reply to: Re: Falling on Deaf Ears, I'm afraid
Agreed. All things considered, binge watching TV as compared to binge drinking/eating is preferable. And if you're doing it as a couple, then so much for the better. It is a time investment into the relationship....

@Moarsauce123- Wow, terrible story. I guess if you're in the fiscal situation to do it, the best thing to do is quit when they ask you to take the demotion so you can look for the new job with the old better title on your...

@Tom- Yup, and probably reading, listening to music, etc.
In reply to: Re: Geekend: Binge Watching TV A Sign Of Depression
Prudent advice here but I seriously doubt anyone in this day & age will reject a promotion simply because s/he lacks leadership skills. No one in his or her right mind will ever admit to such a deficiency. Case...

AI will never replace the Third World employees in sweatshops the world over that perform the intricately detailed, repetitive labor tasks that only a set of phlanges can accomplish. As for the rest of us,...

I bet Internet usage correlated with depression too. And now that I think about it, this whole thread is getting me down.

Amazon could use a few more golden eggs after its Fire Phone fiasco.

I have to say that self-driving cars do not interest me. Now that we got that out of the way - quite frankly speaking, I don't believe Google gives a toss as to how much it has disappointed Wall Street or the fact...

This piece is spot on. Everywhere I turn in the corporate media, I am unable to escape from the magically delicious IoT meme that promises to be all things to all people. CEOs are licking their chops and drooling...

Do you think they fear the wrong influence controlling AI or AI controlling itself and eventually us? I know this conjures images of Terminator, HAL 9000, Proteius IV (Demon Seed) and Saturn 3 (although the first three...

The sad reality is that often folks want flexibility and by offering stronger apps which allow better integration with internal systems (usually exchange-related), it's going to be easier to allow other non-windows devices...

@zerox203- Thank you. Sometimes i wonder if my job is just an excuse to watch youtube. :)I think you're right. People who are depressed sit around. Sometimes with the TV on. I suppose if it helps someone get help, I'm all...

It's not clear to me how AI gets out of control, even though Stephen Hawking is another worrier on this front. I understand an AI system like IBM's Watson can absorbe more information than I can and can access all of humanity's...

@PedroGonazles, LOL...very true! In no time we'll be wearing tablets the same way we carry a purse/bag. Actually this is one of the reasons I like the prior Iphones, since the size was just right for one handed operation. Ergonomics...

Thanks very much for writing this, Thomas. I read Kelly's article about Bill Gates this morning, and I was a bit taken aback by his AI comments along with some of the other readers there. Looking a little deeper, it seems...

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.
