This comes as no surprise to me, and hopefully it is DOA so Samsung can redirect efforts elsewhere as another user had mentioned. Others have mentioned that a full app catalog is not necessary, but it is not a question...

Microsoft and Amazon for trying to reinvent the smartphone UI with live tiles and carousals and 3D, respectively. Problem is, nobody was complaining about apps and widgets arranged on homescreens. I don't think the world...

>>I think Samsung wants to try be more like Apple where they control everything including software. The fact is Samsung is not Apple and never will be.<< Exactly. However I disagree that they couldn't be Apple.....

Samsung's support of Tizen has been half-hearted at best. For the watch, it really didn't matter what the OS was. For the phone it does. The fact that they were only planning to launch the phone in Russia says a lot about...

No needs thousands of apps, but a great many people use a couple of esoteric apps that are only available for Android. What's the upside of Tizen? None. Intel funded it simply because they wanted an OS more suitable to...

I went to the Tizen developer conference in San Francisco a couple of months ago. It was pretty clear that Tizen was on life support. Most of the attendees were there just to get the Samsung Gear watch and the Intel NUC....
In reply to: Intel Needs to Accept Reality Regarding Tizen
Seems like companies could help their employees by running standard 360 evaluations and giving employees access to the results (anonymized, of course). It might be painful at first, but knowing what people really thnk is...

Samsung doesn't understand opensource like Google does. The smart move would have been to try put all that wasted time and money and effort into making Android better. Google started Android with this in mind...

You only need few basic apps on a smartphone that are truly useful; text messaging, navigation, maybe weather and traffic alert, and maybe apps like quickoffice. All the other thousands of apps really aren't necessary for...

Medical errors are one of the leading causes of death in the USA but these errors are not caused by technology. They are caused by humans who are either not using technology or misusing technology. Similarly, cars do not...
In reply to: Re: Defending the value of EHR versus paper
It's a bit nuts that 20,000 apps is considered a dismal failure. Seems like there are probably no more than 200 apps that are used fairly universally -- social apps, mapping, one or two in each category like shopping, gadgets,...

What is your take on the concern over EHR glitches / usability issues leading to medical errors? Is it a real problem?

In reply to: Re: It's Amazing Gex X Is Acknowledged
it seems the innovation will come from not just the devices, but from companies having partnerships. Such parternships are beneficial because one company has a medical issue they would like to tackle and the other...
In reply to: great innovations
Thanks for the comment. Under implemented IT is a real problem. I would guess that many IT solutions are only 30% utilized. Implementation fatigue is also an issue with under utilization.

Agree misuse is a human frailty which needs to be dealt with but should not be used to stifle progress and innovation which is already saving thousands of human lives.

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
