Dave, I'm with you on this one. I watch an obscene amount of TV at times. I'm an only child. Growing up, the TV was kind of companion and in my house, the TV was mostly always on if someone was home. Like an audience....

That is not good news, hopefully we will see a fix shortly. Luckily adoption cycles tend to be slow, so it will be awhile before corporate rollouts are done, giving lots of time for testing. A great reminder that mobile...

@Stratustician,
User beware, I mentioned the major security loophole below. Hopefully MSFT addresses this ASAP!

Alas, Microsoft releases an app for their flagship email client. Don't enjoy it too much if you're a business user. There's a major security flaw in the way the app works. Logins are stored in the cloud. Specifically: "the...

@mejiac,
I can understand the interface on the surface but not a laptop. Most business users wouldn't use a touch screen for office use. It slows oyu down in many instances. I know because I've asked.

@Curt Franklin,
My point exactly. That's how I operate as well. It's a great $$ saving plan in the long run!

@Susan, I'm not saying there's no upside to upgrading. But I think more people than not can wait for those bonuses. I'm one of those people. I can wait for a version or two before spending on a brand new device simply because...

Renting a big server loaded with SSDs as well as RAM for a few hours in the cloud makes a lot more sense than buying such a server, purchasing a lifetime license for SQL Server and operating them on premises. By t he time...

Personally, I couldn't care less about the Super Bowl so I won't be writing any Tweets about it. Also, I don't buy that the NFL has patched its leaky app. And I'm OK with binge TV watching since it could be so...

@asksqn- Well, you're probably right. I don't think too many people would ever turn down a promotion, but there's got to be a turning point, or as you say, everyone is worse off. The person who took the promotion is worse...
In reply to: Re: Falling on Deaf Ears, I'm afraid
Agreed. All things considered, binge watching TV as compared to binge drinking/eating is preferable. And if you're doing it as a couple, then so much for the better. It is a time investment into the relationship....

@Moarsauce123- Wow, terrible story. I guess if you're in the fiscal situation to do it, the best thing to do is quit when they ask you to take the demotion so you can look for the new job with the old better title on your...

@Tom- Yup, and probably reading, listening to music, etc.
In reply to: Re: Geekend: Binge Watching TV A Sign Of Depression
Prudent advice here but I seriously doubt anyone in this day & age will reject a promotion simply because s/he lacks leadership skills. No one in his or her right mind will ever admit to such a deficiency. Case...

I bet Internet usage correlated with depression too. And now that I think about it, this whole thread is getting me down.

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.
