Amazon tried to do too much with the Fire phone. Some of the features are futuristic but they sound half-baked to me, even more so in application when the reviewers found them hard to use or hard to make sense of.
In reply to: Re: There's a sucker born every minute
It's laudable that Amazon is taking risks, but the problem I have with what they're doing is that they don't seem to be well-thought out at all.
In reply to: Re: There's a sucker born every minute
This makes me wonder if Amazon ever did any consumer testing with the phone while it was still in the works. The features sound interesting, I won't lie. But are they useful? Are they practical? I would say no, and they...

You've summed it all up very nicely, Charlie. Specially with this bit: " I think the coding ambitions have gotten bigger, and the tools, likewise." The tools evolve as our needs evolve, but sometimes they don't quite...

Coding was never simple, and things will probably continue to get more complex with time, considering what people expect to be able to do with their apps these days.

EHR vendors, and all other vendors for that matter, shouldn't bank on customer loyalty. First and foremost, what matters is the service and support customers get. If you fail on any point, they will switch to another who...

My thoughts exactly! Wouldn't going to Google and dealing with them directly be simpler and less of a hassle?
In reply to: Re: Why partner with a mobile carrier?
The new positions sound superfluous sometimes, like some HR people feel the need to make up all-new "exotic" sounding positions. Perhaps it's to fluff up an otherwise boring and low-level sounding position.

@David, that is a horrible story. I would fully support you if you wanted to start naming names. There's been a big push toward "consumer-directed" healthcare, and if that ever actually happens, jerky docs like this will...

Personally I have seen companies switch EHR vendors and that is no small commitment. And from usability point of view if the vendor does not make the application easy to use then customers will find alternatives. And...

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.
