I love larger monitors. But for things like movies and such. I need a great keyboard in addition to a bigger screen for work.
In reply to: Re: is it an iPad or monitor?
New iPad features may include USB ports and USB 3.0 technology So it will not be super thin anymore. I actually think that's a big improvement. I find the inability to plug in a thumb drive--that it's entirely cloud driven--very...

>Accessibility, particularly for the vision-impaired. Okay, I can see that being meaningful to a subset of iPad users. But I don't see that translating into the sort of revitalization of iPad sales that Carl Icahn seems...

I guess sometimes you feel like a keyboard, sometimes you don't. ;)
In reply to: Re: is it an iPad or monitor?
Accessibility, particularly for the vision-impaired.(Most tablets are too damn small IMHO; you may as well use your phone.)With larger screens boasted by the Surface Pro and, eventually, the iPad Pro, tablet makers are working...
In reply to: Re: is it an iPad or monitor?
Ha, I do like that name for it! It's hard to tell, to me it seems like an awkward size for a tablet. I guess more screen space could help for reading purposes or make certain apps easier to use. There was also some mention...

How does a larger iPad help beyond being a bit less portable?
Apple should call it iPad First Class because it will be too big to use in a cramped coach seat.

This is interesting to me because I don't really think of IBM as an "app" builder but more of a system builder. I'm assuming that this is much more than just an app and that a large part of this is the back end systems...

@Andrew. I'll suggest one more IT job in the world of IoT, although I'm not sure anyone really wants it. I'll call it Fix-It person. With IoT we're talking about plenty of new types of devices that often haven't been networked...

There are oodles of natural-language-aware, sentiment-analysis engines out there, but the competition gets thinner when it comes to image analysis. Given rampant smartphone picture taking and social network support for image-based...

ServiceNow is moving beyond the IT Help desk and facilities management into new fields. But the basic structure of a service, regardless of department, remains similar. A customer or an employee requests something and the...

@jame: Android 's market share is shrinking ! ? Which reports are you referring to? Last time I checked Android had gained considerably at the expense of Nokia and blackberry.
In reply to: Re: WHEN not IF.
Two futures are curious to me - maintenance and consumer options. Maintenance - I remember Bruce Schneier commenting on the nature of IoT in terms of security updates. How possible will it be? Will there be something like...
In reply to: Consumer options?
Wouldn't that be someone who came with someone because that person like having the person's company? If you already have a preconceived notion about someone or some-thing, then there's probably not a whole lot that...

I setup Lightning Connect with external objects from my back office ERP database using OData produced from DataDirect Cloud. Your article mentions data visualization, but my understanding is that external objects do...

It was funny. How about this:
"In order to run the upgrade, PCs had to have a processor of 386DX or higher and at least 4MB of RAM"

Yeah, I was given a free Z10 at the launch event -- like everyone else there. It was fine - a decent, state-of-the-industry (though not of the art) phone for its day. But then all the phone snobs would look at the Blackberry...

BlackBerry still makes good products, and its software is superior. My problem is with BlackBerry's integration, or lack thereof, with mobile phone carriers in the US. I bought a Q10 during the short time period...

You know that one awkward party guest? The one who somehow fails to click with anybody, laughs long to other peoples' conversations, yet is always one of the last to leave? That's BlackBerry.

Microsoft kinda lost their way when Bill "retired". ME was bad enough but Vista was crap. Windows 7 saved us until the came out with 8. One thing MS doesn't seem to understand is we don't want them copying...

I am sorry. I don't know where you get your information but beside Windows 7, no one in the general public has ever applauded a Microsoft OS on release. Windows 95 had people furious most of that caused by compatibility...
