You're absolutely right, we've seem to be more concerned with capturing anything and everything that we forget about why we are collecting it in the first place. The movement towards getting more intelligent data through...

It's very frustrating to see the same kinds of issues cropping up in the IoT world that we're already struggling with on the Web. My guess is that part of the issue is manufacturers don't think there can be much harm done...

@zerox203- Fair enough. Though usually people are told the study is about somehting else so as to not influence the rreaction. For instance, the people doing the ticket test could have been told they were testing different...

While their marketplace is new and yes, I agree the selection doesn't have me wanting to open my wallet. That being said, I've purchased from 3D printing sites before including Shapeways and honestly, despite the higher...

I was telling a friend this weekend, who works at a tech vendor in Silicon Valley, about this survey, and I sensed she was skeptical. Many people can't picture these kind of jobs -- tech in a manufacturing environment --...

Good article and good points, but I'm not sure how I feel about the research mentioned for the first two points (the third one I'll gladly agree with, as I feel like I've experienced it firsthand... but maybe that's selection...

70% of tested devices had vulnerabilities, is it just me or does that seem like it should be setting off a lot of red flags? As more devices become connected, how are we ensuring that these devices are meeting security...
In reply to: Maybe we should rename it the Insecurity of Things
Actually, I agree that estimates should be as accurate as possible. However, I also believe adding a little padding to compensate for the unexpected complication or interruption is reasonable. The ability to accurately...

"Employers that keep trying to fill reqs like they're 20th century assembly line jobs will fall behind companies adept at peer-to-peer communication." Well said. Recruiters and HR reps are still necessary of course but...

What surprises me is that none of the hardware makers (except Apple) have taken software seriously.
In reply to: Re: Sad
Exactly, while the convenience of using my phone has me intrigued, I worry about the security of the app that would be installed on my device. Last thing I want is the hotel snooping around my device!
In reply to: Re: Hotels were made for mobile
Maybe for the security community, hotels could implement two-factor authentication: a physical key and a smartphone.

@Tom- Sure, and actually I should have mentioned that. Thanks for bringing that up. But I wrote under the assumption that there are times when you just can't either because there is no where around to do it, time, forgetfulness,...

Technical insecurity is job security. The Internet of Things will ensure employment for capable security professionals for the foreseeable future.

I think part of Amazon's goal is just to get in on the ground floor. The technology will improve and Amazon will benefit from the vendor relationships it made a few years from now.

Looking at what Scott Shwartz said in this interview, it's the same thing that just happened to MetraTech, they were just acquired by Ericsson... Go figure.

@zerox203- Thanks. I do think one of the issues is the teams being divided, but not necessarily by distance but by intellectual property law. If I make a catching robot, I have IP on that. If someone else makes a fast robot,...

InformationWeek Tech Digest - July 22, 2014Sophisticated attacks demand real-time risk management and continuous monitoring. Here's how federal agencies are meeting that challenge.
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.
