Great point, melgross. I'm hoping Huawei can clarify that for us. We asked them for comment this morning and were told we'd hear back-- but no word yet. I'll post an update when we have more information from Huawei. &nb...

Now we're talking.
In reply to: Dual-OS Android-Windows Smartphone.
What does this mean? Is it Android, or AOSP? AOSP isn't really Android, as it has none of Android's services or any of Google's apps. It also can't use the Google Play store. As far as I know, a company can use AOSP with...
In reply to: What is this?
It's a calculated risk, but if it were me, I'd probably upgrade; that's what I've been recommending to friends and family. AV software will help, but it is gonna be more reactive than proactive, so there are no guarantees....
In reply to: Re: The issue is no one trusts Microsoft
Thanks for the comments. To be clear, I didn't mean that many will have "no choice" but to upgrade to another Windows OS. Rather, I meant that many will have to upgrade to something-- including (as the article discusses,...
In reply to: Re: You can pry Windows XP from our cold dead computers
Agreed that it will be interesting. Although, some of these larger strategic team games could turn the tables and give longer attention spans in front of the computer.
We'll find out in a few years, won't we? :-)
In reply to: Re: Rewired brains
The article states, "...many will eventually find they have no choice, due not only to increasing malware risks, but also the number of software vendors who will no longer update XP applications." That is so wrong. Most...

In reply to: Re: Healthcare scare?
I have a question: how often does enterprise IT actually ASK Microsoft for support? Security patches, yes. Actual support, no. Maybe those who stay on XP who want actual dial-in support could emulate their...

Comparing Y2K to this is Apples and Watermelons. Much of the Y2K fear was identified by a simple test on PCs by changing the system clock to see how applications would function when dated in the future. Though this was...
In reply to: Re: Healthcare scare?
Not every application requires Internet access. Not every user needs or is allowed access to the Internet or online email. Some of where I know this is the case include the following. Acounting firms, Doctors office,...
In reply to: XP - where it can continue in use
Michael,
I am a desktop home PC user, with XP. Do I need to buy a new Win 7 computer, or just insure that my anti-virus/malware softwate pruduct is up to date?
In reply to: Re: The issue is no one trusts Microsoft
The main security concerns on all Windows versions are those of users being duped into installing rogue software such as fake patches, browser plugins or antivirus programs, and of browser plugins such as Flash or Acrobat...
In reply to: Probably not as serious as is made out.
If so many important systems still running XP, (ATMs, healthcare, electric/gas utilities, etc) will be at risk after April, can Microsoft offer an almost free upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium, and show that they care what...

It's interested to point out that the US is 4th in the overall Web Index (measure of the Web's growth, utility and impact). Nevertheless, it's 12th in Universal Access, 10th in Relevant Content. 1st in Impact & Empowerment...

If you click on the link below the paragraph/description (it says something like image credit), it'll open a new page where the images are. I hope it helps
In reply to: Re: Bigger Images?
Daniel, I think the part that is the largest shift in all of this is the lack of understanding, by many, many users, that the world does not actually revolve around them (personally). The ME-centre has infantilised...
In reply to: Re: Huge advance has come with an unintended cost
@Lorna that makes sense. For some companies the fines are a relative drop in the bucket.

How strange. I tried Chrome, FF and Internet Exploder, all the same. Win7.

Building A Mobile Business Mindset
Among 688 respondents, 46% have deployed mobile apps, with an additional 24% planning to in the next year. Soon all apps will look like mobile apps – and it's past time for those with no plans to get cracking.
2014 State of Storage Survey
If you look at vendor financials, the enterprise storage business seems stuck in neutral. Don't believe it.
