I have friends calling me all the time (seniors) asking if they should upgrade their computers becasue MS is threatening to cut off support for XP. I tell them if it isn't broke don't fix it. I know of companies...

Ah yes, the new capabilities in Windows 7/8... The little box you can scroll for commmand and the popup boxes you can't navigate in reverse are really cool! The thing they call a search box in the upper right corner...

I have an old Windows XP computer, Pentium 4. Compared with my Windows7 box XP is slow to boot and to surf. Scrolling on web pages or Word is slow. The big problem will come when web pages no longer work with IE 8, as this...

God Cuthbert, why is there always someone like you spouting about mint? Nautious.

Everyone needs to stop whining around like fat old ladies. Like MS patches are so great..... Just image your hard drive and stfu already.

Startup time as a reason to migrate to a new system is 100% pure, unadulturated B.S. I have a Windows 7 laptop at home, not even close to 50% filled and it takes as long as my Windows XP laptop at work, which is 95% filled....
In reply to: Regarding Item #3
The obvious (and free) solution to most of these excuses is not even mentioned in the article. Any system which can run Windows XP can almost certainly run a modern Linux system (such as Linux Mint 16). Installing...
In reply to: Windows XP holdouts
Clearly, getting new computers with a modern OS is the safest bet, but for those who hold on to XP for any reason, at least get rid of Java and Flash, which are two major attack vectors; and make sure to have a good security...
In reply to: Partially mitigating XP security risks
Sounds like you work for Microsoft. XP still works fine. Your "excuses " are really valid reasons.

I have a PATA cd-rom with no SATA capability and my bios won't allow usb installs. XP can fit on a CD, but not Windows 7. I ended up using that pc as a linux console for use as a Minecraft server. I would...

What's the best way to introduce this kind of personal motion detection tech so it seems useful rather than intrusive? Will be interesting to see if this hospital is able to make the jump from nurses using the tech to getting...

My family recently had an experience that was the opposite of what many healthcare providers are now focusing on. Having heard our daughter might need a minimal procedure we were anxious to schedule it, yet the person responsible...

Is the front end where the next battleground is going to be? Integration will always be a salad, and the insights themselves are the value add. So far it's hard to differentiate between pie charts and bar graphs, although...
In reply to: That's the back end
That's interesting, @moarsauce. For one thing, it shows just how far behind the US has been in terms of adopting technology within healtcare. For another, it demonstrates how secure these systems can be, when implemented...

Why do we need a special processor to run both? I thought windows 8 rt and android could run on processors like snapdragon? I think the public should demand this kind of product. Consumers are the ones who are spending the...

Do you know what Target's procedure is when they see an alarm in the software, false or otherwise? I would think that they have a policy in place to investigate the alarm to determine its validity. I know that things...

There's a reason this was done. Over the years protection software has triggered false alarms and quarantined needed programs and libraries rendering either software or subsystems (like printing) inoperable. The...

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.
