Susan, I guess most users will be waiting for some empirical data before they take their phone for a dip, since a new phone is cared for like a baby initially and after a few months it is protected like a family member because...

I havn't heard anything about AOL in a while. I didn't know they were still around. Now they are in advertising I see. Finding more ways to advertise when it doesn't look like advertising. wondeful.

I agree but shouldnt it run a full functioning Windows 8.1? Not being able to run desktop apps is a big minus for me.

I doubt there's a definite commitment to archiving for a specific length of time, but as long as storage capacities increase, hardware costs decrease, and the image resoltion remains the same, every passing year will make...

There's quite a contrast between the rosy "what-me-worry?" tone of Cook talking to investors and the concern about Apple's position against Android that has come out during the Samsung patent trial.

Since Apple, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft all follow each other in lock-step, we must see a Windows mini-tablet eventually.

Yes, there is a chance a cloud service provider's data can be hacked, of course. But every single day we hear of laptops, phones, and tablets getting stolen or lost from doctors' offices and hospitals. Each of those devices...

To be in this position, you have to consider that most people coming to this site -- those willing to spend about $250 (because I'd imagine those are the ones who get answers much faster than the ones who don't offer a reward;...

Some of the people in this particular crowd are medical researchers, doctors, and other healthcare professionals, @Terry. And the way the software works is to determine the "odds," if you will, that some advice is better-suited...

In reply to: Re: A decade since the Music industry digital transition, and the television industry still doesn't get it?
Alsion, I think you hit the nail on the head: A lot of what ails government agencies are procurement rules, plus the culture to create systems in house, so as not to lose funding, when the smarter approach is clearly building...
In reply to: Re: An Eye on Costs
We could argue the merits of both sides of this case down the finest of details, but that all seems so trivial in the big picture. It seems that the television industry is just trying to stave off the inevitable,...

The benefit of brochureware is that they get analysis from people like you (and the Twitterverse) ahead of release, when it's cheaper and easier to proactively tweak.

What a mess. Once medical information escapes the physical confines of the physician's office, clinic, or hospital, it will be hacked. That's scary enough; what's even scarier is the possibility we won't even...

InformationWeek Government, May 2014NIST's cyber-security framework gives critical-infrastructure operators a new tool to assess readiness. But will operators put this voluntary framework to work?
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.
