Thanks to tresfou below for pointing out that what CAPI stands for was not spelled out correctly. It should be: Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface. The reporter is misreading his own shorthand.

Designing and building chips is an expensive proposition, so IBM needs to spread the invetment as broadly as it can. With Unix server sales declining and with Z systems encroaching a bit from above (with workload consolidation)...

This sounds like it should be a good phone, the specs are better than many premium smartphones but the price proves that the likes of Samsung, Sony, HTC etc charge the consumer a huge amount of money to cover their ads budget,...

Sniff!! It's like when my mean, old aunt died. I couldn't stand her while she was alive and did everything I could to avoid her, but now that she's gone, I do miss her. Oh well, at least I'll Never have to look at MVS JCL...

It also makes sense from a patient security perspective, too. If hospitals carefully monitor and track prescription medications, it's less likely a patient will miss a dose or get a double dose of something, addictive or...

Wouldn't that be refreshing? I was glad to see the feds acknowledge the need to reduce red tape but hope it's not just another case of lip service.

Thanks, Bill (and thanks for being interviewed for the story!). EY's guide gives healthcare organizations a good look at some of the considerations they should keep in mind before entering telehealth - not just technological,...

I think a combination of AI, crowd wisdom, and an individual doctor's experience probably adds up to the best of both worlds. As we've seen with IBM Watson, that system recommends treatment but leaves it up to the physician...

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.
