We sure will, if we remember that we asked the question.

Drew, Any plans to let attendees vote on audience choice award ahead of time via mobile or the Interop site? Or is voting only at keynote?
In reply to: Early voting?
It seems like $25 on average will make a bigger difference in buying decisions in emerging markets than in North America and Europe.

This is theater to distract from Apple's refusal to install a "kill switch" to brick stolen devices.

I can definitely appreciate that people are hesitant to dump their old computers, many of which must have been substantial personal investments at the time of purchase. The Ubuntu point is a good one; seems like old hardware...
In reply to: Re: You can pry Windows XP from our cold dead computers
Exactly, I agree. Seems many will be moving to cheaper tablets. But those that use their PCs for more than Facebook and light email will be aggravated at having to throw away a "perfectly good" PC and faced with buying...

Great point, melgross. I'm hoping Huawei can clarify that for us. We asked them for comment this morning and were told we'd hear back-- but no word yet. I'll post an update when we have more information from Huawei. &nb...

Michael,
Thank you VERY MUCH for your prompt reply & reconmmendation

Now we're talking.
In reply to: Dual-OS Android-Windows Smartphone.
What does this mean? Is it Android, or AOSP? AOSP isn't really Android, as it has none of Android's services or any of Google's apps. It also can't use the Google Play store. As far as I know, a company can use AOSP with...
In reply to: What is this?
Absolutely correct. The companies that seek H1-B visas have no desire to hire American workers. They have no desire to provide training for Americans to aquire these skills. Industry wants IT workers...

The irony of Google trying to block phones that can run Android and the Windows Phone OS is that Microsoft tried to stop Intel and various OEMs from dual-booting BeOS in the 1990s.
In reply to: Google is now Microsoft?
It's a calculated risk, but if it were me, I'd probably upgrade; that's what I've been recommending to friends and family. AV software will help, but it is gonna be more reactive than proactive, so there are no guarantees....
In reply to: Re: The issue is no one trusts Microsoft
That's already a requirement, Lorna. "You must be paid at least the actual or prevailing wage for your occupation, whichever is higher." But that doesn't mean employers don't skirt the rules.
In reply to: Re: Talent shortage?
Facebook already has a big presence in North Carolina. Chickens are big on the easern shore of Maryland & Virginia, and I don't know of any data centers there at all. Fiber? They could run it along the world's 25th...
In reply to: Re: Measuring that carbon footprint
Thanks for the comments. To be clear, I didn't mean that many will have "no choice" but to upgrade to another Windows OS. Rather, I meant that many will have to upgrade to something-- including (as the article discusses,...

In a way cryptocurrencies are the second movers of non-governmental electronic payment systems, after failures like e-gold. Stability should increase as more vendors and employeeds accept it at payment, and as secondary...
In reply to: Re: Bitcoin/Napster
Thanks for reminder on the shift of emotional focus. Great observation.

Carolina pig farms and Delaware chicken farms would both be ready sources of methane. Don't know if the big backbone pipes of the Internet are there locally, but I'm sure extending the pipes would be preferrable to shovelling...
In reply to: Re: Measuring that carbon footprint
I was happy to read up on Apple's use of methane at their Maiden TN data center; didn't have space in the slideshow to go into all I learned, but most or all of the methane comes from local sources such as farms. That's...
In reply to: Re: Measuring that carbon footprint
Now there's a fine research project. Are there more PCs on individuals' (and employees') desks, or are there more servers in racks in data centers? How does the total power consumption compare? I read one guesstimate a...

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.

If you look at vendor financials, the enterprise storage business seems stuck in neutral. Don't believe it.
