The LG watch is a really nice toy for those with the extra jack, but so far, I haven't seen any sufficiently compelling features to fork over my hard earned cash for one. Perhaps one day when the tech matures. But...

Like any technology, it has the potential to be abused if not carefully regulated, particularly something as intrusive and all encompassing as a drone. Once the gee-whiz stage is over, the average thinking person will...

What a great tribute. R.I.P. Spock.

I would like to thanks David for this wonderful and emotional article. Live long and prosper.
Mr Spock, you will be missed.

@tzubair I love bread bowls, you're right that it's a similar idea. Now you have me thinking whether we can apply the same concept to a donut mug filled with coffee...

@Ariella- I have no doubt. What is interesting about Star Trek is that it produced three (at least) stars who continued to be relevent long after the show, and were especially popular on social media, something which wasn't...

Thanks, Charlie. I like how you said he extended himself. He truly did. One of my favorite stories about that is that at some point he entered into a contract (that I think he later regreted) that did not permit him to sign...

My impression is we're still in early days here, but I'd love to hear from the community what other use cases they can imagine. I could see utility companies using them to inspect telephone or power lines.

@kstarton: While some people may be disgusted with this idea, I don't think it'd be that bad. The concept of bread bowl is fairly popular and people seem to like it. To me it seems very similar to this idea of an edible...

Nice piece on the meaning of Nimoy's life, Dave. He was one of my favorite Star Trek characters, keeping what could have been runaway silliness from getting out of hand. If left to Capt. Curt, who knows how some of those...
In reply to: Nimoy extended himself to reach others
I'd venture to say that's the top trending topic on Twitter. It's definitely among the top on both Facebook and Google+. He was not just a symbol of Star Trek but respected as an person, as well.Leonard Nimoy will be very...

Sure I will agree with the I dont know as a forbidden work for any job actually, not only within the IT department and maybe you ask what if I really dont know ? then replace the I dont know with a very very positive thinking...

I'm very curious. The ad is a not-so-subtle hint that a watch is in the works, but after Microsoft's surprise with HoloLens, I'm wondering if Apple has something else up its sleeve.

Right? That must be huge! Personally, I'd love to see that diorama of Grand Central.

I agree with the comment that they can't be into too much detail. That's our job. We need to learn to summarize and ask the question -- Do you have any questions? -- more often.

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.
