Some good takeaways here to think about. Very surprised to hear that Nadella & Co "plan to attack the higher end of the [phone] market with upcoming devices." Why would Microsoft keep trying to push that boulder uphill?...

I went to a holiday party at the home of an IT curmudgeon once. It was one of the longest afternoons of my life. However I think the curmudgeons are being pushed out. You simply need too many people skills to succeed in...

Come on, let's be honest - we need a sixth category: Incompetent and despised. This is the super annoying overaged frat boy best friend of the male romantic lead who can't hold a job, smells bad, and is rude to the female...

I agree 100%. Government needs to *not* get involved in trying to stabilize Bitcoin or make it safe. Bitcoin must stand or fall on its own.

Hardware margins are always thin -- seems like the point is the linkage and driving adoption of your OSes and software. Oh, and your cloud services. As long as MS isn't actively losing money on phones and tablets I can't...

David, as someone who made this transition twice (once myself, once as a spouse) I can attest that this is dead on: "The information that's available to military personnel is often written like dense legalese, with lots...

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.
