My favorite is the Kernerworks training bot. All the things it can simulate? With that training, medics would make fewer mistakes in the field and save more lives. That is excellent.

@Sara- I wondered that, too. I believe he uses a combination of other technologies to do similar things. I believe he uses electronic drums that sometimes repeat and capture his rhythms so he can play other parts. I think...

@DavidCarr @DavidWagner I actually think the barfing robot could be really useful, but I'm more interested in the therapy robots with the sensors that might be able to measure a patient's pain level. Palliative care...

It's interesting to see how much priority the government puts on data loss and identity management, which considering the shortage in IT security talent, means there is still a way to go to ensure they are meeting the same...

@Kimberly, thanks for sharing your experience. I agree with you on culture -- a great salary in a culture you can't live with is not going to be a win in the long run. In the interviews I have had since becoming a parent,...

Well that Meka Robotics arm for the one-armed drummer is pretty cool, but I wonder how Rick Allen of Def Leppard would feel about it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UIB9Y4OFPs

I do not feel too comfortable with this idea as of yet. However, maybe it will really be a good thing in the future. Maybe it's possible that robots can do more than humans. Since the humans will be remotely controlling...

The social network is really the connections between people; the online experience is just a tool for accessing it. If people like the social network they've formed on the website, they keep coming back even if their satisfaction...

I have been both a tightrope walker and a trailblazer. For me- having flex time is of the utmost importance because I have children and do not care that anyone knows this. I am more circumspect about my age- which seems...

@David F. Carr: Does that paperwork robot actually exist? If so, please tell us more about it.
In reply to: Re: Where's the paperwork robot?
Thanks for the thoughts, @anon. You're right that it's somewhat misleading to lump smartphones, tablets and computers into a single "computing device" bucket, since, as you indicate, you can't use an iPhone and a Windows...

Host and Adaptive Insights aren't the only cloud-based planning vendors looking for a broader play. Anaplan, Tidemark and others are horning in on this domain while Oracle, SAP and IBM are introducing cloud-based versions...

The more negative data hoarding behaviors in business are more about business units hoarding data as part of a power play, as in keeping it to themselves, refusing to share with others who could make productive use of that...

We reached out to Teradata for more on its plans for Hadapt and Revelytics -- like, will they continue to have stand-alone sites and offering? Unfortunately they're not offering interviews and could only offer this...

Bravo! Loved the article. I work for DOD and detest the corporatization of the Federal Enterprise as a whole- but especially for Enterprise Architecture. The love affair with processes takes away innovation, expertise,...

Samsung and Strategy Analytics have a financial relationship that's NEVER disclosed by the media. In fact, Strategy Analytics has an office in Samsung's building in Seoul.

Whatever screen size the smart phones have, 4", 5" or 6", I think all of them cause wrinkle between the eyes. Crossed eyes may be another side effect to worry about.

I think maybe there's a fifth category that could go here, something like "Willing But Constrained." In this category, IT is open to all kinds of things, but can't get to multiple projects because of staff and budget constraints....

Well, I don't think it takes a robot (perhaps a computer, more likely an assistant) to deal with insurance companies. The point of the barfing robot is to track the way norovirus spreads. Which literally saves lives.All...

I can see people making purchases via social media, especially if it's as streamlined as possible. You don't need to turn Facebook or Twitter into an online mall to make social purchases profitable: you just have to find...

InformationWeek - July 21, 2014Our new survey shows fed agencies focusing more on security, as they should, but they're still behind the times with cloud and overall innovation.
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: Insurance
