Nasimson, Apple's current "walled garden" Strategy has worked very well for them-Look at their Record Profits as well as Enormous Brand Recall for their Phones. It might take a long-long time for them to become freely...
In reply to: Re: WHEN not IF.
Supporting Android is a question of WHEN not IF. Apple can not remain in isolation given Android's increasing market share in Smart phones and tablets.

Thomas, Apple has this Excessive Penchant to maintain Exclusivity on each and every Single Product they make/manufacture-This is the Signal they gave when they Stopped Updating Safari for Windows so far back. What is to...
In reply to: Not everything that Apple does makes perfect Sense.
It's refreshing to hear a take on the matter that is, first of all, realistic in it's estimation of how long these things take and how things will actually play out from here and that, second of all, actually lays out both...

David, I am not quite convinced that the expected new regime over Net Neutrality (if it does happen) will be such a Bad Thing. Why should'nt heavy users of Bandwidth(Like Netflix for instance) not pay for their Consumption? There...

@StacyE- Interestingly enough, we're starting to get computers that can digest information without human intervention. Of course, they still rely on humans to program them so ultimately the humans can still make a mistake....

I think any type of AI that could potentially make decisions like you describe very scary.

@ Charlie
I agree with you completely. I don't think a computer will ever have the capability of that type of conciousness...even if someone tried to progrm it in....
In reply to: Re: From where will computers get their paranoia?
@ vnewman2 I bet those people are the same ones who believe a computer can not make mistakes. I have actually had to explain that "the data the computer is using to give you information was put into the computer by a human...

@Broadway0474- I think you have them right. It saddens me that technology is a battleground for political ideaology. It is best when it is above that, but sadly nothing is anymore. We can't even agree on basic science as...

@BroadwayPoint taken, the insurance companies are saved! But if the city that hosts Broadway were destroyed, there wouldn't be enough money in the world to compensate the various stakeholders. But since you bring up drones,...
In reply to: Re: Cease and desist on lunar land rights
This might be an oversimplification, but I've always felt like anything we program would have our general respect for life as a part of the programming. Or that, at worst, we could create the "good" AI to fight the "bad"...

@Broadway0474- I generally agree with you. Spacewar just sounds like a quick way to kill more people faster. All that stuff falls back to earth eventually. Also, I suspect if there is intelligent life out there (I know I'm...

I actually fear the cooking robot the most. They showed it youtube videos and it learned to cook. what if they showed it sniper training films instead?

Time to Reconsider Enterprise Email Strategy
Cost, time, and risk. It's the demand trifecta vying for the attention of both technology professionals and attorneys charged with balancing the expectations of their clients and business units with the hard reality of the current financial and regulatory climate. Sometimes, organizations assume high levels of risk as a result of their inability to meet the costs involved in data protection. In other instances, it's time that's of the essence, as with a data breach.
