@pablo if a young kid is walking to school alone then this would be helpful, or if they're going to visit a friend and the parent is worried. I'd say maybe 8 or 9 years old is about the maximum age you'd hit before the kid...

Some people/organizations insist on keeping data on premises, whether the data-security concerns are warranted or not. And then there are the nations (EU countries come to mind) that mandate that companies keep data about...

Agreed - it's about time we saw an Office for Mac upgrade! A few years ago I never thought I'd regularly use a Mac, and now I can't imagine working without one. Really looking forward to seeing the full version of this when...

@soozyg same here. A big screen is great for productivity, but I can't get as much done without a keyboard. Making the iPad bigger is only half the solution.

@vnewman2 I don't own one, but that's the first thing that struck me about the 6 plus - it's huge! I know giant smartphones are a big trend but that doesn't seem like it would fit comfortably in one hand.. or in a pocket,...

@Gigi3, I know that makes sense to build out systems that present this massive collection of data in meaningful chunks but I see very few who are going this route. Most of the IoT applications I see don't really define...

@Li, the FiLIP is not for teenagers, who want a full feature smartphone. It is actually for children, ages 6-8 to 12, who may go to school alone or move around the area to visit friends.

NoSQL DB is becoming more and more popular, especially in cloud computing world. But for on-prem version, I doubt if we really need it? If the enterprise already decides to renovate the IT infrastructure, why not move to...

Donut mug - I love this idea! But when eating it, I am afraid of the extra energy it will give to me. For the moment I am still a thin and slim guy but how about being served by donut mug everyday?:-)

This kind of thing is a little bit tricky indeed. I think it's especially useful for parents with teenagers - but how the boys and girls will actually feel?

That's true - for wearables, not only Apple but also many other vendors like Samsung, did not get to the breaking point so far. There is no amazing product available so that people cannot live without them like smartphone....

It's delayed a little bit on MacBook but at least now it's on the right track. As software development team, all of my team members use Mac but the frustrating thing is the lack of features of MS Office on MacBook. I am...

@soozyg, I had a long talk with the FiLIP people on the Telefonica booth. They have many discussions about the possibility of letting the child remove the watch. The current model does allow to be removed, but it...

I can only hope that someday there would be companies who give the developers some percentage of shares in the product they develop. This will encourage resources to come up with better ideas and put their best efforts in...
In reply to: Re: Who owns the IP?
Yes the companies have a serious problem of making wrong commitments and I have also been its victim while getting my first credit card. I think this is the result of weak internal processes that they cannot restrict such...

@vnewman: Still a lot less clunky than the old dumbphones we used to use!
In reply to: Re: is it an iPad or monitor?
I think it's a way of recapturing the convertibles market that found those devices too bulky.At the very least, it will give enterprise users seeking a larger screen an alternative to Windows.

InformationWeek Tech Digest, Dec. 9, 2014Apps will make or break the tablet as a work device, but don't shortchange critical factors related to hardware, security, peripherals, and integration.
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.
