I agree that some of the features are not needed or widely used, but FaceTime is the best video calling solution available. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab and have tried Tango, and others which do not warrant remembering, and...

Nothing Apple has offered would make me want an Iphone. I love my Ipod, but that is it. Basically, you are reporting that Apple is upgrading to allow me access to many services I would never use in the first...

IS THERE ONLY 2 SPONSOR FOR THE INFORMATIONWEEK CONFERENCE? DOES YOUR SALES TEAM WORK? WHY IS IT CALLED A CONFERENCE NOW? IT SEEMS SO CHEAP.

Replacing human servicing with technology without thinking through the impact on the overall customer experience is something we would not like to see healthcare companies emulate. There are places and times when it makes...
In reply to: Re: What did the banks get wrong?
I don't disagree with you in terms of where many healthcare companies are today but where we hope (and think they are beginning to go) is in the right direction. We believe that companies that design products and services...

The feature of Facebook Pages that allowed you to create your own custom page tabs, which has been repeatedly deemphasized in the last several redesigns, looks like it will vanish or nearly so. At one point, you could create...

I am very glad to see this post by you regarding this information. I am eagerly waiting to see more resources in the internet on this topic.

You can walk into a bank branch with a statement and ask a manager a question. Try to do that with a health insurer.

I started reporting on data-analysis of warranty and auto-repair data more than five years ago. The Ford Explorer-Firestone tire rollover problem? Preventable. GM's latest flap with the Cobalt recall? Also preventable, but...

To be clear and according to Silent Circle's website. Their servers are currently located in Canada and will eventually be opening up in Switzerland. A thing to note, Canada has some of the stricted privacy laws...

agreed - but even if the HVAC company was given RDP access to use PM & Billing SW - there is no reason that they should have had access to anything other than what they required. Even within SMB accounting software...

The idea that a contractor was on a shared network with other systems is mind-boggling. The technology to segement networks and limit access of users has been around for years. Even in small environments we segment...

Frankly, severral of the posts about this article are more than a little silly; the scary word 'drone' makes a lot of otherwise sensible (or not) people drift off into night sweats; the 'community outrage' over a radio controlled...

You must have missed the new layer of Dodd-Frank regulations. Banking remains one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country.
In reply to: Re: Highly regulated banking industry?
Interesting to note the steps Snowden took to avoid being traced by speaking to SXSW. According to a Washington Post report today, he used a Google Hangout videoconferencing program that ran through seven proxy servers to...

It's interesting to see how a nation that earned its reputation as a financial haven for those wanting to protect their wealth has evolved into a data haven for those wanting to protect their digital privacy.
In reply to: Re: Switzerland angle
There must be some counter-examples of ways banks have applied technology in recent decades that we'd hate to see healthcare emulate. Hidden fees? Arguably, healthcare already has that down.
In reply to: What did the banks get wrong?
It's refreshing to see fiscal discipline in at least one government sector. Like every private sector CIO, agency CIOs must figure out how to shift their budget dollars from keep-the-lights-on work to more innovative initiatives....

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.
