"Start Early" is a good initiative. IT firms can hire fresh IT graduates as Interns and see how they perform in their role. If it is satisfactory they can always absorb them as permanent employees.

It's almost as though The Past is fighting back, as the horse has to rescue the then-modern truck. Imagine how monumental a task it must have been to lay down those wires. And, I don't think the audio amplifier had been...

In the old days, if your battery ran out on your "dumb watch," you could either 1) pay $10-20 for a new watch battery, or 2) just get a new watch. Maybe I'm a bit of a Luddite, but it's hard for me to imagine anyone...

Eh. I'm still working on 100%ing GTA V. (I'm at about 93% so far!)

Even better human-made passwords are still easily hackable because humans tend to pick predictably patterned passwords. Some of the best passwords tend to be lengthy and computer generated. Of course, they're...

Great article.

@SunitaT0: Yes they can be and they will be used. You cannot expect a technology to be all used for clean purposes. That is why laws need to be strict and every drone has to be accounted for. I don't know how they intend...

@SunitaT0: We've had such problems in the past, the problem you call "stagnant fund" problem, but then management was quick to think on its footsteps and redesigned the entire stage by stage development and testing parts...

@SachinEE: Mostly it is that, but also more sometimes. Regular updates come with nothing new, however updates that come after a healthy period means serious update and you cannot overlook that.

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.
