I love the media. I have seen several articles like this, some more biased than others, but all with the same slant that the government is being overly abusive with its use of the RICO statute. However, in each article I...

Thanks JaydenC953. It's so important for IT leaders to keep the simple and fundamental business concerns present in mind. As you said, "A minute of unproductivity is a big deal in a call center" - That's worth its own post,...

Good point and I agree that what you have mentioned does happen a lot, on the other hand I have also noticed that a consumer could go online and gather as much information as possible from an online retailer through products...

It sounds like there are definitely some issues with the UI. So shame on Avon for designing and building a custom UI that still does not meet user needs (the primary reason you would custom build in the first place). ...

I can see how LinkedIn would be an attractive target for phishers but I don't think many of these subject lines would make me click -- they seem pretty transparent.
In reply to: Would you click?
Exactly. That's the best way to look at it.

"You can't anticipate everything that can go wrong. But it is prudent to set up channels for communication before a crisis hits." This is true. Disasters can happen anytime and it is important that you are prepared when...

Sounds like the Dell PS for laptops that had issues 5 or 6 years ago. I'm glad that Google and HP are ontop of this but where is the quality control? Ahhh made in China... say no more.

It makes a lot of sense to beef up your wireless. With BYOD most of those devices are connecting to the WLAN. I'm not a fan of BYOD but in certain applications, like a university, it makes perfect sense.

I agree that local retailers will make digital part of the store experience -- I'm surprised big boxes such as Best Buy haven't made more progress creating a digital experience. But I'm not clear how that experience answers...

Taking the control away from the user and making them put up with video ads is not a good move by facebook. But I guess they figure many will shut them off and I think they are correct. Facebook has proven that it's all...
In reply to: Re: Intrusive or not?
I'm thinking facebook uses all that data that we opted not to have them collect but they collected it anyway to tailor video ads to us. Oh that is so nice of them. Facebook is turning off users latley.
In reply to: intrusive? yes!
The driverless car comparison seems right, Wyatt. And if you want to map the entire earth, you need to leave the road. Perhaps these can do some of that work by foot.

I think MS missed the boat on the mobile device market. I'm not sure if windows 8.1 will boost sales much. They are copying the notification center from Droid and iOS and seri as well. Are they just finding out these are...

Sounds like a new Starwars movie. I guess that being alerted to malware is better than not being alerted but when is Google going to let these apps get rid of the malware? Or are they waiting to put out a google created...

Having a budget plan at the beginning of the year is important, but budget does not necessarily equate to priority, or even that a project will be started. Business conditions, competitive pressures and even regulatory changes...

@cbabcock.... what you descripe sounds like a hybrid solution and one that I wouldnt consider a "quick fix" but a solution.
In reply to: Re: Gateway appliances -- is this a way to slenderize the data center?
I can see why IAAS is thinning datacenters. The need for all these physical boxes is fading. This began with virtualization but has been taken to another level with IAAS. It's a win win really. Less power consumption...

Just guessing, but the autonomous nature of Boston Dynamics's robots actually align with what Google has been doing with its self-driving car: testing how quickly and correctly automated vehicles (and now maybe robots) can...
