It's interested to point out that the US is 4th in the overall Web Index (measure of the Web's growth, utility and impact). Nevertheless, it's 12th in Universal Access, 10th in Relevant Content. 1st in Impact & Empowerment...

Right -- the end users are not brought into the design and implementation loop until the major elements of implementation have been "frozen." To often, decision-makers don't understand the daily work that must be done. ...

The scinario does not work. "The tomb had to meet two requirements: - it had to be finished before the pharaoh died - and it had to be big." Where you are building the second tomb you actually build a defective...

If you click on the link below the paragraph/description (it says something like image credit), it'll open a new page where the images are. I hope it helps

I commend Berners-Lee for raising the need for a digital bill of rights. But it's hard to imagine how it could ever be enforced -- especially when the balance of digital power increasingly centers around those, like...

Thanks for noting, Charlie. NARA's IT leaders insist the contextual scanning tools available today, that help attorneys scan and catalog 10s and 100s of 1000s of documents have gotten good enough lately to tackle the...

Daniel, I think the part that is the largest shift in all of this is the lack of understanding, by many, many users, that the world does not actually revolve around them (personally). The ME-centre has infantilised...

@Lorna that makes sense. For some companies the fines are a relative drop in the bucket.

Great point... we have found that incremental improvement can often yield the best results - especially when businesses focus on the highest value features/functionality rather than tackling too much at one time. This requires...

@Somedude8 I think it has to do with your browser or perhaps you have something like NoScript going on. Because when I click on the link, it opens a new window (a different website) where the full size image is. And yes,...

I have always wondered about licensing for DaaS and never have really found a one answer fits all. I've received many different answers. Do you have to license each virtual desktop with a full windows license?

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.
