When all you're really pushing is a change in form factor without any compelling feature/function all you're doing is producing tablet to keep the market fresh with an offering like the automotive industry does. In Canada...

Exactly, Shane. *Could* I buy a new tablet every other year? Sure. But why would I? Of course, I am an Android person. I get that iThings have the "latest and greatest status symbol" factor, but still. Don't get it. Now,...

Pedro, one more thing. I wonder if those people blame the car manufacturer for not making anti-crash cars when they go crashing their car.

Pedro, "If i had a $600 tablet, I would take care of it as if it was a baby." Exactly. You don't go being careless with an expensive device so you brake it and then go on blaming the company because you did crash...

You are right. I really can't imagine what people do with their ipads. They really look as if they went through a lot. If i had a $600 tablet, I would take care of it as if it was a baby.

Even if the tablet is half that price, why toss it? Save the quicker turnover -- and investment -- for phones, which we beat up day after day. I think tablets got more use when phones were smaller and laptops were clunkier....

Most people I know buy a new one every two years, but it's a more upscale crowd. I buy a new one every year, but my wife insists on my giving her the older one rather than me buying her a new one.

The tablet novelty is slowly wearing off. Personally I've had three phones in the time I've had my Google Nexus tablet, and each phone has gotten bigger. The tablet works well enough, but I use it less frequently than I...
In reply to: Tablets getting squeezed
I am not sure why anyone is surprised that people don't toss their $700 tablets every 24 months. AmI missing something?

This feels such a late in the game development at this point. I mean these sorts of video messaging apps have been around for years and years. Skype was ahead of the video call game for years and it's never quite captured...

Yes this frontier has been around for a very long time but it wasn't until somewhat recently that the gap between consumer devices and enterprise solutions really started to widen. When smartphones first cropped up...

Clearly passed its prime and overstayed its welcome, but there's still some sweetness remaining.

Thomas, Exactly. There is an annoying tendency lately. People complain no matter what it is. People complained because U2 gave their new album for free and everyone who wanted it could download it on iTunes. I found...
In reply to: Re: Thinnest iPad ever
Pedro, "They forgot to mention whether they would make ipad's screens more durable. I see a lot of people using their Ipads with the broken screens." It's not that iPads don't have durable screens. The problem...

Wednesday was wall-to-wall technology on both the Keynote stages and in the 1,000+ techy, product-oriented breakout sessions. On Thursday Neil Young and Al Gore are among the guests, so I gotta wonder if it's back to off-topic...
In reply to: Re: The lure of the spotlight
I don't get the point of having political figures like Hillary Clinton at a technology conference. For one thing, I'm sure it is super expensive to bring someone like that in. For another, do people really want this kind...

Ok, so I'm currently running a $10 a day Ad for an event I created for the store I work at. I am the PR coordinator here. I spend at least $10 - $20 a day on Facebook advertising since we're a small company and was given...

Crowland, I'm afraid you're wrong about the dual monitor supoport. It works out of the box on all surface devices since the pro 2, maybe even earlier. I know many people that use them either with or without the docking...

InformationWeek Tech Digest October 13, 2014Windows still dominates the enterprise data center, our new survey shows, but other options are on the rise.
Google in the Enterprise Survey
There's no doubt Google has made headway into businesses: Just 28 percent discourage or ban use of its productivity products, and 69 percent cite Google Apps' good or excellent mobility. But progress could still stall: 59 percent of nonusers distrust the security of Google's cloud. Its data privacy is an open question, and 37 percent worry about integration.
IT Salary Survey 2014: Government
Federal government IT professionals saw modest bumps in compensation. But that doesn't mean all is well: 29% of staffers had fewer training opportunities, and 21% of managers had their benefits cut. Half are looking for new jobs.
