There has to be a way to utilize drones in lifesaving and crime fighting applications without trampling the 4th Amendment. Putting a machine a place where human lives are routinely lost or, at least, very much risked, is...

I'm not so sure it's a fine line. I think the two are very different, although folks probably confuse them all too often. I would place a significant distinction between customer support and what we refer to as operations...

The issue is really a "scoreboard" one. $30 billion RDBMS market; $0 billion NoSQL market. I agree that the analytical database space has shown more progression, but I really see that as a result of how intractable...

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.
