I will be glad to see this OS fade from relevance. But it is true, many ATMs and security devices still use Windows XP. That's scary these devices have not innovated on the level that needs to be done. My thinking...

Using the "web" in 1970 would quite a trick, since it wasn't invented until 1989. I think you meant you were using the Internet in 1970. Commonly confused, the Web and Internet are not the same.

And another thing. When I asked whose server hardware supports Virtual SAN, I heard Cisco, IBM, Dell, Fujitsu but did not hear HP mentioned, which made me suspicious, needlessly so. HP is on the list of hardware suppliers...

Let's also give credit to the U.S. Government and DOD. I started using the Web in 1970 to write curvefit programs at NASA Ames on what was termed "Darpanet." Government agencies, institutions and universities...

I must say, I love the part about the amount of social junk floating around on the web today. Really, who could have thought that would ever happen? It's a social construct that we have created ourselves, a new form of...

Interesting article. It would have been cool to be able to click to larger versions of some of those images. Legends and such were too small to make out on some. I tried clicking them but that just gets me a new window of...

Good question, Laurie. VMware suggests only certain kinds of applications, such as management of virtual desktops, an area it wants to promote, and test/dev, disaster recovery should be the first implementations. It's emphasizing...

Note the caution with which Vint Cerf treats the possibility of online voting. That's going to be much harder to make real than MOOCs. Do you agree?

Michael The public are sick of Microsoft. Businesses are too. It will be interesting to see how they escape Mafiasoft's lock down. One thing for sure is if there is a will there is a way. I fled to Linux a decade...

Although Tim Berners-Lee gets the credit, much of the underlying innovation that we know as the "World Wide Web" goes back a lot further. The origin of the idea of linked text and images probably lies with Vannevar...
In reply to: It goes back a lot further than that.
"With Virtual SAN, server-based storage is near the CPU and has the shortest access route over which to deliver its data, compared to external devices and arrays." This is a nitty-gritty but key fact. What enterprise applications...

Centuries ago the world was represented on maps with a centre somewhere ... Jerusalem, Mecca, London. Maps and routes were carefully and jealously guarded, kept secret in rutters and company or imperial vaults. People...

It tooks an integrated project team three years to come up with a way to designate Google email as tempory, permanent or nonrecord and build an automated way of acting on those designations? Well, it hasn't been done before,...

Not useless article at all. It shows how FRAGMENTED the Android OS Version landscape is, which is very tough on App Developers (like me). When I build an Android App, I can't really count on the "latest and greatest" OS...

Why not compare Nexus to Apple. Nexus has 100% upgradeds. I don't have stock in Google. Does the writter in APPLE.

The dominance of XP in the healthcare and banking industries is worrisome. I know those industries have great security folks working to protect critical data, but there's a real target there. Hopefully, once reality hits,...

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.

If you look at vendor financials, the enterprise storage business seems stuck in neutral. Don't believe it.
