Linda Cureton, is to be commended for writing a very eloquent piece that exposes the shortcomings and lack of focus we see in government today. What we do know about government is, it follows, never leads. As such,...

This is a tough one, Lorna, for those of us who support manufacturing businesses. IPV4 depletion is not an issue, we use a private 10.29.x.x network. I suppose there are some technical aspects of NAT which are theoretically...
In reply to: Re: Lack of planning on steroids
Of course, by saying no one, I don't literally mean no one. But a 2 or 3% marketshare is as close to no one as can be achieved for a major company. Without actually knowing how many of these have sold, and we all know how...

@gzuckier0, you raise a good point. IT and HR managers both have a role to play in this process. And no one is penalized for passing over hidden gems in the talent pool.

I'd argue that WinMobile failed mainly because Microsoft under Ballmer was hideously late to the mobile game, and the ecosystem is served by Android and iOS. As to no one wanting MS desktop products, apparently, businesses...

@zerox203- The study started in the 50's and goes to the present. It is modern research. The point of the study was to follow pairs of folks over time to see how lifestyle, genetics, etc affected heart health.the study was...
In reply to: Re: Familiar Faces Can Be Friendly (Or Dangerous)
Roger and Diana, excellent points. I agree that ideally, every one would have regular access to a primary care physician but as Diana notes, this isn't feasible for everyone (e.g. poor, rural, immobile patients). Roger...
In reply to: Re: Overlooking A Promising Form of Remote Care
Yes, they definitely do have transition counselors, but as with all government interactions, the term "YMMV" applies. Some are great, some not so much. And, people leave the military at all stages of life -- young, single...
In reply to: Re: Is the military participating in the IBM Watson app?
I think the problem is very simple. People don't want their mobile products. People include those running organizations. If people don't want your products, then it hardly matters what is being done. One major reason...
In reply to: Re: The device dilemma
I didn't say anything about huge software margins being OK (more on that in a bit). But to start, saying "no one wants their products" is patently incorrect. Surface may not be for everyone, but my college-age daughter bought...

As you say, HR is looking for any kind of filter to screen out as many of the applications as possible. They can't carefully scrutinize 100 applications for a position, and they can't pass on to the hiring manager 50 of...
In reply to: Re: Time to go sell real estate?
@Dana, thanks for chiming in. I hear your frustration with the hiring process over and over. It can be incredibly hard to pass the first HR screen (often done by an outside firm, no less.) I believe that as a profession...
In reply to: Re: Time to go sell real estate?
Since I have no experience, first or second hand, about leaving the military, this makes me wonder why automation is even a part of it? As a research tool for basic queries I can understand Watson being a better QnA system...
In reply to: Re: Is the military participating in the IBM Watson app?
Lorna, what do you mean by "thin"? Yes, it's true that manufactures with poor products, as we see for most of the Windows industry, the margins are thin. But for companies that make better quality products, that's not so. I...

I'm 64 in IT. IT is ugly. There are a few nice jobs out there, but Wall Street and globalization has decimated the country. Now is the worst time for all jobs since the Great Depression. Every...

Some good takeaways here to think about. Very surprised to hear that Nadella & Co "plan to attack the higher end of the [phone] market with upcoming devices." Why would Microsoft keep trying to push that boulder uphill?...
In reply to: The device dilemma
@Ashish agree with you there. But in cases where practical experience is not available we need to depend on theoraticalexperience. Many atimes experimental analysis are just as actual contigency.

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.
