Thank you for raising a very, very important point. I had thought there would be more voice-activated pumps and other technologies available for diabetics and was surprised at the dearth of these devices. Why, do you think,...

Techie toys are fascinating! I loved the last one the most, the drone copter. Sending at $1200 toy up in firework is risky; it might get hit by a projectile or a burning piece. However, the results are breathtaking as well....

jastro,
I don't know what you are taking about. :/ Maybe you have confused me with the person to whom I replied below? He is the one who hasn't used Facebook for a decade.

@Angelfuco Yes, it's better for the budget but also better for the environment -- less waste and trash from devices considered obsolete as soon as the new version comes out.

@moarsauce123... It depends what kind of tablet you are talking about. I have purchased Samsung Slate 7 tablets for some of my users and they love them. They dock them at work and they are their work station. They leave...

I like the larger screen smart phones but I like my phone in my pocket. If it won't fit in my pocket I would have a problem. So at what point do they get to big?
In reply to: Large screens
Because you resisted the pull of Facebook!

This is an interesting article. I can see some would benefit from this however I think you would need to say social networking sites in general. If someone took this pledge but then spent their time on twitter aren't they...

@Ariella, I also like to have my devices last longer than a year. I'm not big on the constant upgrade by getting new devices every year or two. I tend to not always get the latest trends and use my devices until they literally...

While this is a good idea I don't believe it is possible. What good is it if your results are omitted from the European search sites but no others?

@Thomas, I know it may sound crazy, but I never owned a desktop. I've used desktops at work and the library but I've always used laptops and tablets at home.
In reply to: Re: Continuum of Usability
@moarsource, I think you are right, I love my tablet and that is all that I use at home.
In reply to: Re: Poeple just figured it out
@Faceoffthebooks, I agree. I think some people use Facebook to try to boost their self-esteem and get validation from their "friends." I wonder if Facebook will eventually lose it's popularity. You would figure by now, the...
In reply to: Re: Already Did. Not Missing it one bit. More free time to do what I want to do.
@Sara, Three of my former colleagues gave up Facebook for Lent. 2 of them returned to Facebook after Lent and the other one did not. At first, it was hard for her to fast from Facebook, but after awhile she didn't miss...

@Cody, I think some people have taken Facebook as a platform to be self-indulgent and contributes to the "It's all about me generation." I think some people use it as a forum to brag, post selfies, to live vicariously through...

I've never had a Facebook page, nor do I ever intend on getting one.
In reply to: Re: I haven't used Facebook for nearly a decade
I always think Facebook is AOL 2.0, or Prodigy 3.0 -- it's all been done before, in one way or another. FB made it work on the WWW, so it worked better

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: Banking
It's been a good year for banking and financial services IT pros: Most are satisfied with their job responsibilities, compensation, and job security. Few are looking for a new job, but active job searchers want higher pay.
