the buzzwords you can say around the C-suite to get you noticed. I had a CEO a couple of years ago who had 'cloud' on the brain. He wanted our application in the cloud and insisted our customers wanted to buy...

Sometimes there are trade-offs for free products and services. If the free solution is slow to address security, you might decide to pay for something safer. It's a risk-based investment decision.
In reply to: Re: Another Project from Google
I agree also on that, as I think that Google is not only a great company but also it gives to the users value and most of the time without paying anything (Google maps, Google site, Analytics, and so on) but take...

Also don't say, "hey, you guys think I should dump stock or buy before the next earnings release?" or "I don't know about you, but I think that new CEO is a turkey!"

I don't see multiple platforms going away, at least not from the user point of view. I see a need for consolidation of platforms from an administrative point of view, though. I want one tool to manage all of my mobile users,...
In reply to: Re: Another Project from Google
I agree, Google has a large foothold in many organizations, but I am not sure how standardization is going for many organizations. Right now looks like a lot of companies are supporting multiple platforms, so hopefully...

Yes, I think you're right. The military seems to have taken technology about as far as it can go for now. The Russians are so far behind us that it's comical, and the Chinese buy most of their military hardware from them....

It'll take a long time to be fully implemented, of course. But, there is no real possibility of it being overturned until there is a new president, if then. And by then, a lot of legal and regulatory infrastructure will...

It used to be the case that the military/defense sector drove innovation, which then moved to academia, which then moved to the consumer marketplace Doesn't appear to be the case anymore with the private sector...

" If the data being collected and displayed isn't useful we will fall into the habit of ignoring it." @SaneIT: I totally agree with this. The backbone of the technology has to be the useful applications and...

Do Docker orchestration tools overlap what the open source Kubernetes Projectg is trying to accomplish, or are the two mostly "complementary?"
In reply to: Docker & Kubernetes? Better together?
True, because on the other hand, you have to consider all the people who worked for intense, overly-demanding bosses and the company failed. You don't read about those cinderella stories. Apple and Jobs were...
In reply to: Re: Team work VS ......
I've made this point in several forums lately: Given the current state of security in Windows & Linux, you really think moving away from mainframe is "21st Century"? Don't remember mainframes getting hacked in the 20th Century....

@Peter, thanks for joining the conversation! I agree, there are pieces of the IoT puzzle that will require many different skills to solve. I know a lot of people who are concentrating on the analytics side of things as they...

@Kelly, we really don't value "failure" nearly as much as we should. Every time I visit the Edison museum in Ft. Myers I'm reminded of just how much Edison counted on the failures of his experiments to lead toward something...
In reply to: Re: Computers Everywhere
@SaneIT, you're absolutely right about the value of data: One of the dangers of all the IoT data flood is that we'll end up with these huge data lakes containing bits that no one uses. As you say, if it's not useful, it...

@Gigi3, one of the great architectural questions of the IoT is whether each individual sensor should communicate directly with the back-end server, or whether there should be intermediate steps with intelligence closer to...

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.
