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...

@ mejiac. I guess I'm old fashion. I have small hands. I like phones that fit the size of my hand. Also, large screen iphones aren't for me. Yes, I can do some productivity work. But, it is a such a hassle...

The Wall Street analysts keep measuring Amazon with the yardstick used for conventional companies. They can't understand why investors stick with a company that frequently loses money. The way I see it, Amazon is busy inventing...

Dave, I'm curious what you think it means when I take off Thur & Fri on opening weekend of NCAA BB tournament and watch games from 11am to 11pm for four straight days? That I secretly wish I was 6'8", had a 45" vertical,...

I'm definitely with you on this one, Dave. While the research in itself is certainly interesting (I think you could research nearly any topic and turn up something useful/interesting), a quote from one of the students shows...

Working for a small veteran owned consulting firm, I was not surprised when they asked me to manage an entire account for them. I accepted, pending financial detail agreement. Six months later they had...

Reddit AMAs definitely have a unique personal feel to them, but Bill Gates tends to come off as a down-to-earth, well learned person in other interviews I've seen as well. He doesn't seem content to rest on his success,...

I agree that driving related jobs are going to start disappearing soon, but it will be gradual. It's not like automated cars are very good - yet. Even when they can drive perfectly on motorways, they'll suck in poor weather...

I'm not so wary of AI that will get "out of control," as I think we're a long way off artificial organisms that can think outside of their intended function, or "break" programming, in the same sense that I can't change...

At this point I think its too early to say how the CDS will evolve. In organizations I have seen with the position, it still reports to the CIO. Personally, I think the integration of data scientist into various lines of...

All reports of "technology is going to take away all our jobs" are simplistic and don't take into account how the economy works. We have plenty of examples in history of disruptive technology that displaced workers but...

@mak63, you bring up some very good points. The guys who are pushing AI and technology are the same guys warning us about letting it get out of control. On one hand this sounds like they are aware that what they...

Microsoft will reveal more details on the SDK in Build 2015. You could register or watch the livestream. I take that back, you can not register. It's sold out! Livestream it is then.

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.
