Holo Lens will obviously cost more than Google Glass, and if Glass was generally too expensive for the consumer, how can Holo Lens succeed in that environment? And Glass wasn't truly pulled from the market; rather its market...

Funny how "philanthropist" Bill does not like to admit that he owns 500,000 shares of Monsanto stock worth $23M. Or how he has teamed up with Cargill to pump GMO soy into the Third World. When asked about his...

I can see HoloLens used by a field technician trying to do a complicated repair. Even though he has a manual, being shown in 3D how to manipulate the object would be stupendous assistance.

That "analytical culture" is the really hard part. In my view it can't be purely bottom up or top down. Collaboration is key. Facebook has talked about a blended structure, with analytics leaders embedded within lines of...

Methinks thou doth protest waaay too much. The only "harm" in releasing bugs is in the fevered imagination of Microsoft lawyers.

It's nice to see that Microsoft acknowledges there exists other smartphone platforms in addition to its own, even if it is still in the beta stage.
In reply to: Nice to see you, Bill
And let's not forget what ppl did **before** smartphones came along and dumbed everyone down: Board Games are still going strong -Jenga, Monopoly, Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, to name a few.

Not necessary to be a data analyst, but certainly very helpful in the ability to parse/interpretet the data.
In reply to: Not a requirement but valuable, nonetheless
So Bezos/Amazon continues to disregard/snub the millions of 'Nux users who have no interest in MS Active Directory.
In reply to: Ignore at your bottom line, Bezos
This is quite the contrast to the Steve Denning/Forbes article regarding why mgt "hates" Agile. Absolutely no mention of the sw not functioning.
In reply to: Quite a difference
Absolutely not. However, it is important that everyone within the organization understands and respects the importance of data. The key to big data success is to be able to not only build the models, but put insights into...

Aaaaahahahahaha!!! And you'd want this BECAUSE??? (and no, 'cause your office committed to AlmostOS and BugLook is NOT a valid reason!)

@angelfuego I'm on your side with this one. Phablets are an awkward size and too big to serve the same purpose as a smartphone. Personally, I like my phone to fit in one hand and my iPhone 4 (prehistoric, I know) does the...

Thanks, @mejiac! I'm hoping we can get some definitive answers as Microsoft continues development. As for the free upgrade, I agree that it was a smart move. If Windows 10 can live up to the hype, Microsoft will have plenty...
In reply to: Re: Trying to get ahead of the curve
@asksqn, laughing at your reference to Windows 8 as a "steaming pile of fail" -- I know plenty of consumers would agree. You're right, it does look like Microsoft is addressing its shortcomings (or at least, it seems to...

Apple made it work when it was transitioning Macintosh between POWER and x86, but the cost was much bigger execs. I'm guessing that MS will have to do the same or rely on some sort of bytecode interpreter. "There...

@Pedro Gonazles, I agree with your comment, and also another aspect to consider is that the actual need of a tablet is fading away, since smartphone screens are getting bigger. The Iphone 6 and 6 Plus really do appeal...

@Curt Franklin, Agreed, I also found this to be very interesting. It would be more interesting to see if this service from Amazon is well adopted, if the online retail giant will continue to pursue a solution in the mobile...

I am amused by how little computing culture changes. America Online went offline for over a day back in the late 1990s and caused all manner of business havoc. I figure these sorts of problems are an excellent...

I guess it is a matter of preference. I prefer something that fits in my pocket or can easily fit in the grip of my hand. Phabletsare too big for me. They are like the size of a book. A phablet can't even fir in my purse....

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.
