I remember years ago it came out that the State of California under Governor Gray Davis had more Oracle licenses than it did employees (the number was subsequently substantially reduced). It was theorized at the time...

I'm with you, Bubbles. How, indeed, did America become America without the aid of India and China? What they offer is cheap labor fueled my desperation and poverty, and nothing else. As for Microsoft Office, how many different...
In reply to: Re: "Personal" office 365
You are right: Yes it does. Most consumers did NOT like the infernal Ribbon interface of subsequent versions of Office after learning where everything was on the menus. It made finding things needlessly hard and took more...
In reply to: Re: It just shows what a nice system it is
Office 365 is cloud-based, but does not require use of the cloud; like you, I am not a fan of putting my data on the cloud, so I don't even though I have multiple 365 subscriptions (one Home Premium and one for work). There...

It's long past time for MS to step up to the plate and admit they blew it with Win 8. I can remember Tami Reller (Exec VP under Ballmer) absolutely lying about the growing acceptance of Win 8 and saying "the touchscreen...
In reply to: MS has lost it's way and risks going the way of the dinosaurs
Heck, MS imports the people from India through visas. I blame Windows 8 and that blue ribbon in Office on these imports which was reinforced by Ballmer's total lack of vision and reality. India has a pervasive wide spread...

Microsoft has employed Akamai's Linux-based servers to protect its Microsoft.com Web site and reduce the site's vulnerability to viruses, worms and denial of service attacks. That said, if all products which are available...
In reply to: Microsoft hides behind Linux for protection
MS has got to be kidding. I, and most people/companies I know, have NO intention of using the "cloud". Apparently MS is not considering the vast differences in internet speeds (download and upload) across various geographic...

Projects can have too much budget, this might be one. Having poked around a few of the State websites, I don't see how these budgets of the size being put together can be justified. I am not talking about slightly inflated...

How many of these H1Bs know it? maybe they get a 1 day course in India. And employers are looking for people with these skills? So they want H1Bs who DON'T HAVE THE SKILL. Why is that? Why because if they have to allow...
In reply to: You mention 'Big Data'
This is another (among many) reason to totally avoid Microsoft products.

Germany has EHRs for almost two decades and there is no known data breach so far. It all comes down to implementation and maybe not always going with the cheapest solution possible.
In reply to: All depends on implementation
If it truely is "Personal" use instead of for work, then there's absolutely no reason to use it. LibreOffice is $0 dollars/year. And for most personal uses - you'll never be lacking. Use the $70 for...

Having been in IT for decades I remember this as finding a workaround. Some software has to run no matter what. So you identify the problem quickly and come up with a workaround that will allow it to run. Think of it as...

This would provide some pretty important information for retailers. They can chart the course of a customer's visit to their store, and compare those who bought and those who didn't. They'll know what made us smile, what...

Lorna – thanks for the comment. Yes, absolutely, if a team has time to document the problem and understand it deeply while it is occurring then that is positive. Saving artifacts and materials that would help you recreate...

Most of the guys I know would be offended by a drone like this coming near private property and may "flash back" to the good old days of 65 thru 74 and perhaps display some remnants of their PTSD. Seriously, what the hell...

Licensing for Windows(Operating Systems) and other required software applications still apply to virtual desktops.

PCI and Security are like insurance, unfortunately Target spent $M on detection and left the response process to manual labor. But your insurance shouldn't just tell you that you're sick. This is like having insurance that...

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.
2014 State of Storage Survey
If you look at vendor financials, the enterprise storage business seems stuck in neutral. Don't believe it.
