@David, if it was an exaggerations, why are we talking about FITARA? Why wasn't Clinger-Cohen enough? What's broken and are we fixing it?

I'm a big fan of the Open Data initiative. I believe that it will be the source of some great innovations relative to what we can do with unfettered data. OMB and OSTP should be commended for the positive outcomes...

To get back to the main points of your article, can we agree that EHRs have so far not proven to be safer or more secure than paper records?
In reply to: Re: Defending the value of EHR versus paper
@David - Oh yes, I remember that show because I became part of your posse then! :) Isn't it ironic that when put to the test, most people have trouble self-assessing themselves accurately or as others do? If a person knows...

I think Rodney and Pedro are right on the mark. The first obvious use for Google Glass is to enable anyone doing something complex, critical and expensive to be able to bring up and access reference information without taking...

I know of a lot of people who have always bought a fair amount from Amazon, including myself. While it's possible that you might be buying more with Prime, that doesn't necessarily mean everyone does. Amazon has had to raise...
In reply to: Re: Long term problems.
I completely agree. I've been saying the same thing. We all remember the rousing welcome that WebOS received. But, when I was in carrier stores, I would see people pick up the Pre, poke around for a few moments, and put...

Bonuses? You get bonuses? We simply don't have them. The recency and halo effects are always problems in any evaluation system. Tough to come up with a solution other than spreading out the increases evenly. Does that...

@Lorna- I definitely assumed that the paper trail would go back to HR, or at the very least people would assume that. But you are right, it is liable to be TOO reactive where 360 reviews aren't active enough. The middle...
In reply to: Re: Inexpensive perk
Hmm, a corporate version of a slam book! That's a very intriguing concept that would, I suspect, be shot down in flames by 99% of HR departments in fear of lawsuits. These seem even more likely to be reactive - say I have...

"relies on honor system". Yeah, for one of two reasons, neither which reflect well on Oracle. Either they are too incompetent to build a licensing control system or, most probable, they want you to turn that stuff on accidently...

And in other news, AWS apparently could be hosting DoS bots. So, yeah. Bad week.

@impactnow- I agree. But it is tough. You also need to not be so wishy washy they don't repect you. Nobody likes a suck up either. It is hard to walk that line. I guess that's why they get the big bucks. :)Seriously though,...

@Michelle- Ha! I think robots would hate us because out behavior wouldn't compute. I think they'd assume we were malfunctioning. :)
In reply to: Re: People are tricky, bring on the robot bosses!
@Lorna- I've never been a fan of the 360 review because I think it captures snap shots of what happened in the last day or two befor eyou fill out the review. Most people, I think, forget the success or failure of 3 months...
In reply to: Re: Inexpensive perk
@multihats- I love that line. I think the next lines is "how do you expect anyone to think you are a miracle worker?"It is funny how we are trapped in this idea that to get ahead we have to work miracles. Shouldn't constant...
In reply to: Re: No more Mr. Scott
I agree with a few of your points -- mainly, I think the winners are manufacturers that have actually been able to turn the tables and make Amazon their distribution arm, not the other way around. And, I think getting into...
In reply to: Re: Long term problems.
Well, I think you can still be the office hero by side-stepping these traps everyone else is falling into. While they're busy overdelivering on a project, you go and do ten on time. Be a nice person who gets the social norms...
In reply to: Re: So what's the best path?
Dave I agree likeability cannot be undervalued. If your team doesn't want t you to be successful you won't be successful. So many managers still think that micromanagement and punishment will get their teams to be higher...
In reply to: Likeability factor
@pcharles09- Hopefully most of us have bosses who don't track how long things take every time, but you're right, once you start delivering things super fast, the next time the expectation is that it always takes that long....

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.
