This post is a comment I started to write in response to an article on the problem with Tablets. It is also related to another blog post I’m writing on why you should be looking at mobile. My response to comments on issues with tablets: – – – The problem with PCs is that they […]

I’m a fan of Xbox, the Kinect, and the technology being used. That is no surprise if you’ve read many of my blog posts. A video making the rounds as a result of being at the CES show is IllumiRoom. This proof-of-concept research project is taking one step closer to full room immersion by projecting […]

Infographics are everywhere. Below is a link to a full version of an infographic from CloudPassage on Cloud and security. It is interesting that security concerns used to be one of the primary things keeping people off the Cloud. Today those concerns seem to be dropping.

Let’s face it, most developers are not designers. In fact, most developers suck at designing applications. The nice thing about Windows (before Version 8) was that you didn’t have to be a designer to build a good looking application. Windows were rectangular.

The cost of bugs in an infographic that Typemock created. I’ve included this infographic and a link below. As you can see, bugs and defects in software can be extremely costly to an organization — to the level of $60 Billion (US) dollars a year. That’s about $113,333 a minute. Fixing bugs earlier is obviously […]

Last week was Microsoft’s Build Conference in Redmond, Washington on the Microsoft campus. In a session of Friday, Herb Sutter, lead Visual C++ language architect at Microsoft talked about some of the things happening with C++. Sutter is also chair of the ISO C++ standards committee, so he is definitely the expert “in the know.” […]

Today was the first real day of Microsoft’s Build conference taking place on the Microsoft campus. Focused on developers and modern app development, this seems to be the conference developers using Microsoft technologies go to since the PDC no longer happens. In fact, the 2000 or so slots for this year’s Build sold out in […]

Today is the day — The day Microsoft stated that Windows 8 would launch into the retail channel. It is also the day that people will start getting Microsoft Surface RT devices. It is also the day when we’ll begin to see if Microsoft’s bets in these technologies will pay off. Granted, that might take […]
