But it this new feature worth $23,000-per-CPU? At that price, I'd be tempted to process the data with pencil and paper.

Nadella's off to a good start but I'd like to see Microsoft start making products that as so good I have to buy them, instead of products that I have to buy because everyone else uses them.

I'm seeing a lot of the same business models that I saw doing the turn of the millenium dot-com boom, like an explosion of food delivery and food prep services. And in place of WebVan, there are Amazon Fresh trucks and Google...

I may download Cornell's app for helping your pet maintain a good weight. One of our cats is, let's say, pleasantly plump. She's also extremely loud when her bowl is half full (guess Rina views it as half empty). So I'd...
In reply to: But is there an app for that?
I couldn't find one -- although some of the GPS vendors primarily targeting dogs claim their products are suitable for cats (these are the smaller devices that clip on collars). However, they don't meet all your criteria:...

Yes, I actually wrote about Verizon Virtual Visits when it came out. Perhaps, in Presbyterian's case, they insist on an initial face-to-face meeting with the physician because it's a state law? Or perhaps their telemedicine...

That's a great point, especially when you think how many healthcare orgs now develop apps internally because it's comparatively simple. If they decide to take this approach, it's critical to ensure they're not going to run...

@Terry we may have a problem if the Terminator/Matrix is our future... we'll have to reboot every generation. Someone will always be winning but maybe not always humans.

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.
