@Broadway0474- Well, i think if you couch it as prioritizing, it looks like smart business. But I'm sure to some it looks like whining. Personally, I think if a person can't tell the difference it is either because you have...

@broadway0474- But the dress, it was blue and black! Or it was white and gold! this is important. :)

I love that Knack found something that seemed so foreign to its normal business and embraced it. Many companies don't have the guts. This is like Amazon getting into the cloud business. Knack (and Amazon) built an expertise...

@asksqn- Well, I suppose it is true of nearly everything that exists that regulation or careful use is required. We regulate food, water, air, and nearly every other basic human thing. So fine, we will regulate drones. But...
In reply to: Re: Drones are bad news
@Drew- It seems to me that the dealing with drones is just going to be a part of the larger Internet of Things adjustment. The IoT is about a billion news sensors. The drones are carriers of those sensors. I'm sure we will...
In reply to: Re: Drones and IT
@nasimon- I have to say, I still think of drones as outside of IT in the sense of piloting, running, maintaining and other wise operating the drones. But the drones are useless unless they are a new end point in the network....

Love these 60 second videos. Don't love that none of my stories made it in this week. ;) No seriously, seems to me the biggest issue with net neutrality comes in the inevitable court challenge where ISPs already...

Very few computers with Linux are sold in retail stores. I wonder what will happen when consumers have a choice. I also wonder why we do not have a choice.

David, wouldn't saying you have too much on your plate already --- what should I take off? --- count as a dirty word? Everybody has too much on their plate. Suck it up and make this happen! Sure, you don't want to be a doormat,...

So the large screens confuse me though. Because it seems like large screens would compete with their holograms. Do they see large screens as the bridge to holograms or do they see them as living side by side with them? Because...

Bendable is where it is at. I've been covering the potential of bendable and stretchable mobile devices for a few years. I'm convinced that when we had a phone we can scrunch up into our pocketets or stretch out like a newspaper...

The interesitng thing about "can't" is that it is almost never true. I've found "We can but we'll go over budget by 20%" is the better answer. Or "We can, but which of these ten other things on my plate should I drop instead." Usually...

@Doug- I don't know. As long as you don't report to the CEO, saying he/she is a turkey might be the fastest way to be popular. :)I've been in organization where making fun of the boss was just the lunch time hobby. Jus tmake...

@banacek- Yes, I have to say I'm taken aback by the "I don't know" thing as well. Except I've seen it. I don't know in some organizations is seen as a weakness. In goods ones it is strength. Personally, the least interesting...

kstaron, didn't the 3-2 vote go along partisan lines? And isn't this issue always along partisan lines, with Republicans siding with Comcast, AT&T and other big players, and Dems siding with Big Tech and net neutrality?...

It saddens me that James Bond can't convince his girlfriend to play Halo with him. The secret, 007, is to find a gamer to be with like I did. Even if we don't play the same games, at least we can each get in some stick time...

And can I just say that my special love for Mila Kunis only grew ten sizes when I realized she was a gamer geek. Between that and her Bourbon ads I'll forever be smitted. Darn you, Aston Kutcher!

some of these make sense, like Stevev Colbert being a Hobbit fan. But it is hilarious that the guy who sang "if you want my body and you think I'm sexy" could have easily finished it with "come and play with my trains."My...

Ariella, that gives me hope about humanity and social media if Nimoy was trending, instead of some pop or sports star, or a dress or something. Hopefully his memory and his character live on for generations.

@tzubair- I think it was Nimoy that convinced William Shatner that Trekkie conventions were wonderful to do. Shatner has always had a different relationship with Star Trek than Nimoy. While both did other things, Shatner...

InformationWeek Tech Digest, Dec. 9, 2014Apps will make or break the tablet as a work device, but don't shortchange critical factors related to hardware, security, peripherals, and integration.
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.
InformationWeek 2014 Hybrid Cloud Survey
Mixing public and private can deliver the best of both cloud worlds for IT groups that can figure out where workloads work best and address potential security issues.
