I've been saddened to see Blackberry take such a plunge, however, it really is its own fault by not keeping up with the times.

Conspire's function sounds exactly like one of the suits LinkedIn is currently being litigated for except that in this instance, the user has knowledge of the privacy invasion that is being marketed as a feature.

No mention, however, as to who owns the intellectual property created by the MS employees in the "Garage" endeavors. I'm curious as to the wording of the agreement/contract between MS and its "innovative" employees....

The value for business in creating a adaptive AI is that it is smarter than the "C suite" running the company in most instances.

Funny, but most of the 9 "dirty" words mentioned here are in frequent usage by the very executives the rank and file are (apparently) supposed to be tossing roses at the feet of. Interesting how that works: Rules...

Apple Watch is a really nice marketing strategy, however, the past few hours I have been on social media has been deluged with news of reclassification of the ISPs into Title II regs, which, effectively, puts them on a short...

While I am not happy with Google's ever tightening lockdown on Android, For Work is a welcome change, especially given the chokehold the iGarbage products have on the market.

Linux has matured as time has gone by. We've come a long way, baby, from the CLI. And the fact that it attracts "new blood" should not come as a surprise to anyone except entrenched players (such as MS) and Windows-only...

It would be incredibly naive to believe that reclassification into Title II was the end of the net neutrality debate. Wheeler, no doubt having had to hold his nose and speak in favor of NN (and against his criminal...

Without meaningful regs in place to protect US consumers, DARPA is usually very bad news. What may seem "totally cool" almost always turns out to be a disaster because neither DARPA (nor US consumers) does not...

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...

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.
