Excellent Article! I think the mobile push that Microsoft is pushing accross multiple platforms (not inclusive of windows mobile) is a good sign that they're definitly heading down the right path. The fact that the focus...

(Wanted to provide an additional coment) Amount the things Dave that you list, there's work-life balance. I think this one is critical. I have two small kids, and thankfully I'm able to enjoy my evenings and weekends with...

@vnewman2, I agree. I wasn't an only child & the TV was on all the time too, to my parent's chagrin. In any case, I think people get used to the constant sources of entertainment & don't know what to do otherwise. I'm...
In reply to: Re: Geekend: Binge Watching TV A Sign Of Depression
@David, Really great article! I personally can testify to this. I'm still growing in my career, so I still see myself at a junior level when compared to the managers that I work with. Even thought I may have a good set...

@PedroGonzales,
Even more noteworthy, my iPhone 5S is running out of space. But I'll manage for another year or so just so that I don't have to spend hundreds just to get more space for apps I don't really need.

@mejiac,
That's one check in the positive column for me already!

@Joe Stanganelli, Agreed, poor performance does have a difficult way to be managed, mostly because of the amount of laws that protect employees that most times work against the company and those that do want to make improvements. And...

@nasimson, "But how can it be security flaw if password is saved and not compromised?" The answer to that is 'How do you know when you'll be breached?' You don't. So the mere fact that user credentials are stored is not...
In reply to: Re: MAJOR SECURITY FLAW
@Stratustician, I hope so too. The problem is that with corporate BYOD policies, more often than not, the destination app that's on the user's devices isn't limited. The security policies just apply to things like passwords...

@pcharles09, Oh, I concur, not only is it distracting, I can also lead to loss of productivity. I think this is why Windows 10 provides the option to re-enable the classic start menu, which I bet most enterprises will...

Me too. I prefer to get 1 or 2 previous versions. Upgrading to the newest phone is not cheap. At verizon If i would have upgraded to an iphone 6 it would have cost me $300, for an iphone 5s $100. If I had a flip...

This has to be one of the coolest things I have ever heard of. A swarm of thousands of little tiny satellites? I would just about *kill* for an article that goes in to the technical details of these little things! My head...
In reply to: YES!
The big problem with automated vehicles is having to interact with non-automated vehicles. Since they can't actually make judgement calls and since non-automated vehicles do unpredictable things, this makes the situation...
In reply to: Re: Truckers
Pretty much agree. And, remember that consciousness isn't a matter of scale, so whether Moore's law slows or goes 1 Million x faster is irrelevant. AI is artificial. It's ability to mimick is only as good as the programmer,...

If there are ever automated tractor-trailers running on anything resembling our current road systems, I'll be sure to keep off of them!!!
In reply to: Re: Whatever.
If you know a bit about history and philosophy, all this talk by these supposed tech luminaries is pretty funny. First, while people will need to learn new skills, historically technological advancement hasn't put people...

I guess the counter perspective might be that an on-premises deployment still makes sense if you know you have fixed, high-capacity, high-demand workloads and a scale, diversity of apps, and regulatory world that demands...

The Ubi also does the same thing and is amazing. It is a WiFi connected, voice operated computer that allows for handsfree voice interaction in your home. It runs Android to take your commands and turn them into action.The...
In reply to: UBI does the same as FB Voice Recognition
I agree. There should be some professional and ethical concerns raised by the employee if any such demotion is taking place.

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.
