Last time I checked, the temperature on Mars was minus 200 degrees F. Better bring some space heaters. Lol. Also Mars has no magnetic field, so anyone that does happen to make it there will have to contend...

It would be a lot easier to be in compliance if the licensing terms and costs were actually understandable. Outside of some really simple products, so much of the licensing is incredibly convoluted. How much does it cost...
In reply to: Simpler would be better
I agree. Some of this stuff is so ridiculous that you really need to crack down on it to stop it. The World Cup was good but there was a lot of strange stuff going on that were beyond unsportsmanlike.

True Apple positions themselves as like the Mercedes-Benz of tablets. But you can do better. For me this is a convenience and something that I could do without. My S4 smartphone has the same apps and I can watch movies,...
In reply to: Re: Why is this surprising to Apple?
I'm not sure that nobody is making money on tablets. I would venture that Samsung is. And if Apple is starting to lose market share, that means they are making less money. That cannot go on forever. I didn't buy the iPad...
In reply to: Re: Why is this surprising to Apple?
That's for sure. My iPad costs more than most laptops and you can't do as much. I'm not really sure what Apple is going to do. Then never want to lower prices and always charge premium prices for their products. People will...

I agree about mutual trust/respect if the cultures recognize it.
But, next time I see @dave, fist bump it is.

To me the OS cooked for mobile device looks a little bit weird. Windows Phone did not get its popularity yet compared to Android and iOS. Windows RT is even more weird - I am afraid few people...

EDiscovery itself can be exceptionally costly, of course. Good vendor management is the key to managing those costs.

I am not surprised that they exist or that people buy them but it is always shocking to see how many people are willing to scam others for a few dollars; and how many people continue to believe this type of nonsense.
In reply to: Re: Digital snake oil
While some disagree with me on this, yes, I do think it's, in large part, the mobile OS. I see little evidence that people like it. Of course, some do, but most don't. It's different enough from what they're used to that...

@ susan. That is really funny. if that happens you will see me in american scams. oh god. No thank you, no driveless car for me as well. I will start using public transportation before that happens.
In reply to: Re: Public transportation option
Exactly! As @DavidCarr said, it's simply a new platform for what's happened in the past via wagons, books, town hall meetings, and TV infomercials! Nowadays, the place to sell your solution - valid or questionable - is an...

Yes, I saw the Wired story when I was about half-way through reporting this piece! Not wanting to duplicate their work, I avoided including that -- but it is scary to see how at least one company tried to leverage a well-respected...

Sorry my tone is not always the nicest. The way this critical industry is going, is going to be a massive national insecurity issue. The way the American young nerds are being shoved under the bus while experienced...

My next car will have that auto-parallel-park feature, no doubt. I will drive around so much longer now looking for one that doesn't require parallel parking. My high school driving instructor would be displeased...

But if I'm stuck in traffic, I'd much rather be reaading a book or playing a game or talking to my family than worry about hitting the bumper in front of me. ^^Scary to think that I've seen people do all those things in...

@Susan -- that's exactly what I was thinking. @Dave's points about the cost are another good one: At what point does a fender bender cost less than external airbags? How does this factor into whether or not they deploy?...
In reply to: Re: External airbags
@Joe I agree entirely, but you'd be surprised how many emails I get from readers and how many friends ask me to help them with their settings. It's easy for me since I cover Facebook, but I understand why it's confusing...

Waqas,
Oh, big mistake. :) There is still a healthy Nokia doing well with its three businesses. It seems like many people are confused about this.

Andrew - In business we look at revenue and margins and the Amazon volume play can be good for revenue ut if the margin is not there then it becomes a big question mark. So if Amazon offers you revenue then you need...

InformationWeek Tech Digest - July 22, 2014Sophisticated attacks demand real-time risk management and continuous monitoring. Here's how federal agencies are meeting that challenge.
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.
IT Salary Survey 2014: Networking
Data center managers make slightly more than networking professionals, with middle-aged men on the coasts faring best. Both staff and management are optimistic about their career paths.
