The flow of the site has been improved. I echo the sentiment of simplifying the user experience so the tech team can focus on security and stability. However, beyond that, we're still not addressing the fact that health...

But to be more than a distant third option in the mobile race, it needs support from enterprises and consumers.

Drone Dynasty. I smell a reality show already.

Agreed, Wyatt. Not only is it so easy to shop using your mobile phone now, but it's just as easy to price-compare using your phone while you're shopping in person.

@Gary... It wont become unusable but with no suppoirt means no updates. As security flaws open up there will be no fixes. You are taking a big risk if you continue to run XP.

In the past year or so, I've subscribed to a number of news pages on Facebook and do use it -- particularly in the morning -- to catch up. Though I do agree with Lorna: I always use the "newest first" option when I sort...

Wow is all I can say for all the PCs that still run windows XP. That is going to be a big security hole for organizations that don't upgrade.

Great point made in this post. There are a number of IT projects that are not finished or mishandled. The government is not immune to such issues. That is not an excuse but to Ric's point its not surprising. Hopefully the...

@Doug but wouldn't they also know precisely where in NJ you are at particular times? I wonder if they will start some kind of promotional tie-in that alerts you to the presence of stores along your route.

One still has to step back in awe at just how easy it has become (relatively) to order things using our phones - compared to just pre i-phone days.

Does this fake Fitbit data report that you've run a 6-minute mile? Becasue I would be ok with that. Kidding aside, IoT privacy and data breaches are a huge concern. Trust will take time.

One thing data can do is help you face the truth. With that said, I'm getting a Nike+ Fuelband or Fitbit band for Christmas. It's time to shatter the delusion that i'm running faster with age.

How secure is your Internet of things? Probably not so much. I'm talking with computer science researchers who had fun hacking the Fitbit's wireless interface and otherwise manipulating it into producing fake data. (they...

2014 Analytics, BI, and Information Management Survey
The desire to simplify data analytics and business intelligence has been gaining steam for years.
