I've tried a similar sleep cycle app, though I'm not sure it worked very well. The heart rate one seems interesting -- I wonder how well it works. Has anyone tried these others?

I asked Lance Crosby, CEO of IBM SoftLayer, in an interview the day before this piece appeared why IBM would fund Cloud Foundry over OpenStack Solum/ Red Hat OpenShift. He said: "OpenStack to us is a little below that (PaaS)...

Ah, gee, Brent Smithurst, that's not much of an endorsement of Red Hat's OpenShift. I guess I'm going to have to accept Joshua's bet myself. Will I have to declare that $10 as income?
In reply to: To ActiveState Brent: that's not much of an endorsement
I'll take that bet, Charles. Not that I think OpenShift has a bright future on its own, but because I think it will take them longer than 10 months to figure it out. By the way, your comment, "There are now powerful vendors...

That both Oregon's ineffective management under Carolyn Lawson and Oracle - her chosen partner - share blame for this debacle is not for debate. Assinging singular blame to either party in a marriage of this intimacy...

Yes that's basically right. It's a secured, government only data center using Microsoft Windows Azure, which encompasses scalable, on-demand IaaS, PaaS and Data cloud services. It will allow government customers to ...

I don't think it's quite like Android overtaking iOS. Apple's hardware margins are the envy of all device makers, and it milks more ecosystem profit than anyone. A company with that sort of control over lucrative customer...

No, you didn't get that quite right. SAP and Oracle are competitors and both are proposing in-memory technology to provide speed advantages where needed. SAP Hana is an all-in-memory database, and it says its platform won't...

It probably wasn't too hard for Dell, which had knew what it takes to pass military drop specs, to take some of hardened tech and reapply it. Funny when you think how there's a whole aftermarket to protect smartphones...

That doesn't surprise me, mak63-- I think that's a sensible way of looking at Windows 8.1 actually offers, as opposed to what it doesn't. But if customers are generally content after having some context realignment, why...
In reply to: Re: Not just for touch.
You points are very valid and have been in play for years though many firms have failed to realize the benefits of such actions. I have spent over 20 years adjusting automated tasks to reduce down time and improve...

Interesting comment re zero unemployment rate for gov. cybersecurity pros. Salary competition must be fierce vs. private sector right now with all the high-profile breaches.

Not everyone in the healthcare community is convinced of Watson's value. One top hospital CIO recently told me that he thinks Watson is more hype than substance. Clearly, doctors are sensitive to any suggestion that they...

I think Drew hit upon one reason VMware was able to justify the Nicira price: Talent. It was the same when Google bought Nest -- unusual talent.

You raise a good point about the PCI assessors. Not holding assessors accountable in some way is the moral equivalent of letting an auditing firm off the hook in the face of corporate fraud. Hopefully enterprises haven't...

I suppose Microsoft can take some satisfaction in the fact that Windows still accounts for most of Dell's line-up-- both the Venue Pro tablets run Windows 8.1, and the Latitude 13 can be either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1....

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.

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