Ok, I can see the opportunity for the developer: write one app, get a potentially large audience -- when you factor in all Windows users. But still, developers need to consider whether the Windows Phone user base will ever...

This was a very practical interview, I recommend it for men and women negotating. You sort of hate to hear that women would have to change their approach to negotiate, the idealist in me thinks that's pathetic. Make the...

Good point! This is quite timely, as some hospital systems are creating environments to foster innovation in this area.

@SaneIT, Don't worry about it. The rate at which Devices are getting minitiarized today something similar will eventually become a reality. What I was wondering though was whether these robots will be 100% Automatic...

Good questions! I think the FDA is overwhelmed at this point with limited resources, so they probably won't put forth any more guidance at this time. As for EMRs, my understanding is that the FDA hasn't really been involved...

It's an unfortunate side effect of a society that's happy to sue whenever it gets the chance. The cameras in this instance, as you said, are for liability purposes. Ironically now we're likely to see lawsuits of a different...

The FDA Sentinel Program does the same thing although the queries and what is being mined relative to what they are searching for could be different. It's also a lifeline for hospitals needing money as they join as...

Although those numbers are higher than I'd have expected, I'm not surprised that Facebook is driving so much traffic. Several website owners that I'm on good terms with have been impressed by how much their businesses have...

What an interesting topic! It's funny how Healthcare is probably one of the greatest/most important ways that technology affects our day-to-day lives, and yet the one we're most likely to not know something about. I'm a...

After watching my then-two-year-old nephew walk up to the TV and start trying to swipe it, and get upset when Scooby didn't move how he wanted, it hit me that I'm really old.

It might be marketing for consumers but if I understand him correctly, a developer can write a single app and push it to the store where customers can install it on a phone, tablet, laptop, desktop or server. Granted,...

Very interesting background @Mel. Explains your very informed comments on a variety of topics. I'm no MS lover, I program using IBM servers and support ERP systems since the 80's. So I tolerate MS as front end device. I...

I tend to agree with you. Nadella is an intellectual and gets caught up in high-minded rhetroic (with occasional lapses into business-speak). He's not unlike Pres. Obama in that sense. Earnest but a bit too cerebral. He...

I suppose Microsoft is doing what it should. It should simplify Windows to "One Windows" across all devices. It's good branding. But the OS doesn't matter anymore for getting stuff done across devices. MS was doing the same...

I have the highest hopes for Nadella but I really wish he would back off from the ethereal babble. Going with "less is more" here just created a head-scratching WTF moment for me. Microsoft appears to be operating like an...

The biggest reason that complexity grows unchecked is that people typically add to their IT infrastructure with a whole lot more frequency than they subtract from it. You end up constantly adding things. Something doesn't...

The insurance robot would probably melt from not only the paperwork but the changing requirements and regulations. I could see each day starting out with an update.

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.
