Thomas, I agree that data needs to be basically plug-and-play for many people to take advantage of it. But remember a lot of devices will just be talking to other machines; they won't necessarily be bugging you with data....

True but I bet most of those xp machines are on the internet. We have some equipment that runs on software that needs XP. We also have one that runs 98. None are connected to the internet though.

Yes, Paul. I was thinking about the security issues when I wrote the word "unusable." But, there is one place where XP can go on forever, and that is if an XP machine is the brains behind some instrument or device that has...

I'd be curious to know how much time you spend dealing with running data and configuring gear to deal with it? And what meaningful change has resulted from having such data? I've run for years on a treadmill and I just don't...

Let's remember that a couple of years ago, both Gartner and IDC were predicting that Win Phone would have a marketshare of 21% in 2017. Now, that's down to 10%.
In reply to: 10%?
I'll play devil's advocate here: What about the good that can come from companies tracking your data: personalization, etc.? I wonder where people draw the line. How much is too much?

The flow of the site has been improved. I echo the sentiment of simplifying the user experience so the tech team can focus on security and stability. However, beyond that, we're still not addressing the fact that health...

But to be more than a distant third option in the mobile race, it needs support from enterprises and consumers.

Drone Dynasty. I smell a reality show already.

Agreed, Wyatt. Not only is it so easy to shop using your mobile phone now, but it's just as easy to price-compare using your phone while you're shopping in person.

@Gary... It wont become unusable but with no suppoirt means no updates. As security flaws open up there will be no fixes. You are taking a big risk if you continue to run XP.

In the past year or so, I've subscribed to a number of news pages on Facebook and do use it -- particularly in the morning -- to catch up. Though I do agree with Lorna: I always use the "newest first" option when I sort...

Wow is all I can say for all the PCs that still run windows XP. That is going to be a big security hole for organizations that don't upgrade.

Great point made in this post. There are a number of IT projects that are not finished or mishandled. The government is not immune to such issues. That is not an excuse but to Ric's point its not surprising. Hopefully the...

2014 Analytics, BI, and Information Management Survey
The desire to simplify data analytics and business intelligence has been gaining steam for years. But this year, interest in visual data analysis tools came to the forefront, and the use of Hadoop and NoSQL databases made slow but steady gains. While established companies like IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and SAS are still the top dogs for BI and analytics, smaller and nimbler vendors like Tableau and QlikTech are forcing the giants to innovate.
