@TerryB- No, I'm saying that jetting into spaces too small to fit at unrealistic speeds creates it. If you are in a slow lane on the right, jetting into the left lane makes you happy, but you can't accelerate up to their...

Now wait a minute. Are you saying just because traffic is heavy in right lane where people are merging from ramp that people in left lane with no merging traffic need to slow down to 5 mph also? I have never understood what...

@TerryB- You raise a lot of questions. One at a time. I assume the little old lady becomes less of a problem if she has lane assist and stop and go driving assist. But to be fair, from all the studies I've seen the little...

@David - You're welcome! As a Gen Xer, this is one of my favorite topics. "Boomers gave Gen Xers flak for coming in and changing their enterprise. Now Gen Xers are reflecting that flak onto Millennials." Very...
In reply to: Re: Reality Bites
Instead of Stop and Go support, where's the tech that identifies the little old lady sitting in fast lane with blinker on to merge right that stopped the traffic in first place? It could then automatically suspend her driving...

@vnewman2- Wow, that could have just as easily been written about Millennials in the last year. Yup, I think that's the thing. We've got young people enteroing the work place. They haven't been beaten down by "the man."...

My favourite is smart watch from Huawei. Knowing that Chinese brands have started launches in this space is a bit comforting as the prices will come down faster which is necessary for the mass market adoption.

While the new net neutrality rules will stop the fast lanes, at least until the appeals process runs its course, I suspect that the trade-off will be a significant slow-down in the expansion and improvement of broadband...

@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...

InformationWeek Tech Digest, Dec. 9, 2014Apps will make or break the tablet as a work device, but don't shortchange critical factors related to hardware, security, peripherals, and integration.
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.

Mixing public and private can deliver the best of both cloud worlds for IT groups that can figure out where workloads work best and address potential security issues.
