@SaneIT, "data blindness" sounds like one of those things that we should be covering a bit more intently. And you're right: I've also known lots of professionals who just ignore the flashing lights because they've become...

Any AI system might lack the imagination to become a movie style super villian, but a minor flaw in the 'learning' portion of an AI system could cause havoc. The movies take these ideas to the Nth degree where rthe 'logical'...

@SaneIT, I think one of the interesting areas of study is in just how that "outlier" data can be effectively presented. I saw a demonstration several years ago in which sound was used: If you represent the data as a...

@tzubair, I love going to Maker Faires and similar events precisely because you have so many different people with so many different skills and talents showing their own way of shaping the world around them. And I think...

@tzubair, for me one of the more exciting parts of what's going on is that experimenters -- amateurs, if you will -- can do all sorts of interesting things with these mountains of available data. I love the idea that people...

@vnewman2, I don't think you're crazy at all. These different strengths and weaknesses define not only what we're happiest pursuing but how we best learn. We've become very regimented in how we expect students to learn (and...

@Mak63 - Oh! how I agree. If Verizon and AT&T are opposed, you can bet it is because they will somehow be hit in the pocketbook. If there is a "fast lane", I am sure it is worth a bundle to the ISP and certain companies...

Not to mention that just because the title of the bill included the words "net neutrality" doesn't mean it really has ANYTHING to do with net neutrality. Sadly, the politicians know that most people are asleep at the wheel...

Well DUH!. I DON'T KNOW, perhaps it is because I'M JUST THE IT guy, but I NEVER have been more SURE that I CAN'T give THE BUSINESS some clear and definitive answers, that just simply make a point, when we are all overworked. Sure...

Carrr, Matey takes the cake for car-finding innovation, I agree. I'm thinking Zombies, Run may be more geared toward those who need an extra boost to get off the couch. I can see how it might be a fun way for people who...

The internet is the new phone company and thus the FCC votes that the net be treated as if it were a utlity. This is big mistake because ANYTIME the government gets involved, it's in the end never good. ...

"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. " @progman2000: I think the fetish with buzz words like cloud that most C-level...

" Interesting how that works: Rules for thee, but not for me, so sayeth the "C suite." " @askqn: I think that's a valid point but to be fair on the C-level executives, you can't really blame them for the...

Yep, you're preaching to the choir @SunitaT0 - that CEO is long gone, but not before burning significant time and resources going down the wrong path. This is what happens when CEOs are brought in from the outside...

@Curt, yes ignored data not being protected as valuable data is a problem but I'm more worried about ignored data leading to more important data being ignored. Let's say your refrigerator dies, everything in it spoils...

@tzubair, thank you, it's nice to know someone out there sees the IoT push the same way that I do. I see a lot of tiny sensors all over the place catching every little piece of data and plotting it in beautiful charts...

I'm definitely getting a laugh out of all the hatred for 'fog computing' here in the comments. Now, it's no secret that our industry is bloated with unnecessary buzzwords and impenetrable jargon, but it's often surprising...

I think the data remains unstructured until it is not in the radar of the companies. Once such data gets into radar and some time is spent over them than they start becoming structured. This stage would only come once the...

InformationWeek Tech Digest, Dec. 9, 2014Apps will make or break the tablet as a work device, but don't shortchange critical factors related to hardware, security, peripherals, and integration.
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.
