"The iBeacon is sensitive enough to tell when a shopper is wandering past a table full of iPads or standing next to the iPhone accessories inside an Apple Store." This is interesting. Apple stores display products...

I don't know that Android or Windows Phone has a specific technology that's really equivalent, but Cisco is a big proponent of this kind of tech. Cisco was involved with an app, for example, that's used for location-based...

Amen. When I try to imagine how companies install someone of these hairball customer service systems, I imagine that their reasoning goes something like the following... X% of the time, the automated systems and phone trees...

I like the idea of wearable devices that help people improve their health. If someone gets the interface right (Apple's certainly invested a lot bringing in a lot of fitness people), I think these products could have profound,...

Will the touch-first Office apps be any good-- that's a big question. Microsoft is taking a while to finish these touch-first Office apps finished. The company will surely make touch-first apps exclusive to Windows tablets...

Shane, First, I would like to say that it's not me the one who needs advice, just in case my post sounded like that. I don't go broadcasting everything in my life on social media. On the contrary. Yet, I have wondered...

I second what Shane said about venting. Sometimes we don't think straight and do things with dire consequences. Sometimes it happens. though, but instead of asking where to vent, why don't ask why? Meditation can help...

I suppose if you read a lot of tech stories, you might get tired of repeated iPad comparisons, but here are a few things to keep in mind: 1) The iPad has WAY more market share than Rolls Royce. In fact, the iPad is the...

Okay, since it's Sunday night here on the West Coast, I haven't had luck reaching anyone outside Microsoft's call centers. But I spoke to a call center supervisor (she said she couldn't give her full name) based in New York....

I'm not really all that pessimist about the robots taking over, a welfare state or a police state. The labor market will change and so will the skills of the workers. As Seven Of Nine says: We will adapt. This (total)...
In reply to: Different labor market
Fair enough but surely you can see the use of editorial content for PR purposes perspective here. Microsoft isn't doing itself any favors. You can bet they won't earn any high marks for the way this was handeled. It...

As I've pointed out elsewhere, the deal isn't live yet. A website I linked to previously indicates it will go live at 7:00 AM Pacific. I can't account for why Microsoft's customer service agents are evidently in the dark....

This game looks interesting and I do like the point in the post - yes a fancy but simple game is the best tour guide for new Windows 8 OS. Compared to its Windows ancestors, Windows 7 do change a lot and provide a fantastic...

What website ? You obviously knew the sale would start at 7am and managed not to mention that in the article? After all it was mostly an ad piece so why not just get it all out? Sorry Michael, maybe you got duped. Either...

None of the analogy is perfect and each of them only covers part of the truth of cloud computing. But I don't think we can get rid of it - the analogy provides very good starting point/initial view of a new technology for...
In reply to: Re: In Support of Cloud Analogies
Not fake. Microsoft put up a website that indicates the deal will go live at 7:00 AM. So if you're on the East Coast and expected that you could flip over to Microsoft's website at midnight, no dice. Wait a few more hours,...

@anon9094197732, If that's true, the Microsoft customer service rep with whom you spoke is seriously misinformed. A few things: 1) Literally hundreds of articles have been written about this deal. If the deal were bogus,...

Multicloud Infrastructure & Application Management
Enterprise cloud adoption has evolved to the point where hybrid public/private cloud designs and use of multiple providers is common. Who among us has mastered provisioning resources in different clouds; allocating the right resources to each application; assigning applications to the "best" cloud provider based on performance or reliability requirements.
