Thankyou Laurianne - allowing smart people to matriculate a bit should be a primary strategy for companies falling behind in their software engineer hiring. Even the mighty Google falls short in this department. For...

@Alison_Diana You raised some legitimate concerns, but we can we say the same thing about our banking information? People haven't given up online banking despite the threat that cybercriminals might steal access codes...
In reply to: Re: Defending the value of EHR versus paper
@SaneIt, I agree. I think it is a great idea, especially for forgetful patients or patients that are lacking their faculties for many varying reasons.

@David Carr, That is good for the consumers. They will be able to shop around and will be able to compare prices.

@DarrellP725 "Paper records cannot be hacked from the other side of the world." But this doesn't mean that electronic records are more "risky" than paper records. "The HIPAA Security Rule is intended to protect Electronic...

Wow, please tell me more about how you can build a 'better PC' than Apple Mr. Random Internet person. I'm interested to know about the fantastic operating system you created that is perfectly married to the laptop...
In reply to: Re: MACs
In the consumer industry, I'd say no one at this point because most of the outcomes of a hacked IoT device aren't that severe.The problem is, when security gets added on later once real problems arise, it means systems are...

Depends on the PC. I am a *longtime* Mac user and have had the chance to use PC laptops and towers.. Never had any issue with Acer laptops, I find they are quite nice actually - fully featured. Now Windows itself is a bit...
In reply to: Re: Mac is superior
This argument always comes up, and in a narrowly-defined, austerely utilitarian sense, it's true: if you want to maximize power while minimizing upfront costs, building your own machine can be cheaper than buying a Mac....
In reply to: Re: MACs
The suppliers of devices for the Internet of Things are engaged in a feature race, not a race to be secure. The first round of competition will focus on features and ease of use, as did the first round of browser competition...
In reply to: Ah, we've seen this movie before
I have had a lot of PC's and a few Mac's. No comparision the PC's are crap.

Frequent short reviews also lessen the possibility that an annual review will be skewed by whether someone was a hero (or dropped the ball) just prior to the review.

I have a writer (who shall remain nameless) who asks me to set a copy deadline two weeks before I actually need it. Now, to me, that's like setting your bedside clock ahead 20 minutes to trick yourself into getting up on...
In reply to: Re: No more Mr. Scott
@Laurianne, Actually, that ties in really well with one of the points made in the article, about this price point in developing countries. A phablet may be a more perfect choice, under the assumption that they are less likely...
In reply to: Re: small phones
They need to lower the price because Mac's suck! Anyone who spends money on that crap has been watching too much TV. I can build a better PC piece by piece that would blow anything MAC has out. You can't even over-clock...

These new features are great! Now all Apple has to do is figure out how to make a keyboard and trackpad that last longer than two years.

Jack, thought-provoking piece, thanks for sharing it. I think IT loses too many "imperfect" candidates during a recruitment screen by non IT-people. Who better than your peers to gauge your passion for learning? Smart...
In reply to: Hidden gems
I agree that the term is horrible, but I can see the appeal of the form factor. A "normal" sized phone of the flagship variety tends to have more power than can be usefully taken advantage of by the screen. I personally...
In reply to: Re: small phones
It is interesting to me that the displays keep getting bigger. I continue to be surprised by the number of execs using "phablet"-size phones. Our readers seem to hate the term but love the form factor. Could an affordable...

Drew, among the network of device makers, who has a financial incentive to push for industry-wide IoT security standards?
In reply to: Re: Maybe we should rename it the Insecurity of Things
Those numbers aren't quite right. First of all it only includes 10.9. A generally accepted number for worldwide share is closer to 7.5%. But, as I tried to point out, it the trajectory that matters. Mac is growing, Windows...

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.
