Apple launches ResearchKit – secure, private, open source medical research

Apple launches ResearchKit – secure, private, open source medical research

By Tom Raftery on March 11, 2015

Apple announced a new initiative at its Spring Forward event yesterday – ResearchKit. What is ResearchKit? Apple’s SVP of Operations, Jeff Williams, described it as a framework for medical researchers to create and deploy mobile apps which collect and share medical data from phone users (with their permission), and share it with the researchers. Why […]

Windows 8 for a Mac User

Windows 8 for a Mac User

By Jeff Nolan on January 2, 2013

I recently purchased an Asus Zenbook Touch laptop to replace my trusty Macbook Air. I was impressed by the hardware design being exhibited by the top tier ultrabook manufacturers, they embody sleek design elements and a fantastic build quality but more importantly Windows 8 has created a once in a generation opportunity to redefine what […]

Deciding the Future of Mobile?

Deciding the Future of Mobile?

By Denis Pombriant on September 5, 2012

The aftermath of the verdict from the patent infringement lawsuit between Apple and Samsung initially generated more heat than light. But the last few days have made up for the light that failed to emanate from the weekend’s id fest and Armageddon prediction Internet confab.

Happy Birthday, Personal Computer. Rest in Peace.

Happy Birthday, Personal Computer. Rest in Peace.

By Zoli Erdos on August 2, 2011

Business Insider reminds us that today is the 30th birthday of the original IBM PC: the computer’s brain was a 4.77Mhz Intel 8088 processor (for my younger readers, it’s Mega not Giga) and it had a grand total of 256K RAM (again, it’s not 256 GB, not even MB, but Kilobytes).  Yet it was a […]

Conspiracy Theory: the Vista-ization of Windows 7 has Started…

By Zoli Erdos on May 8, 2011

Three years ago I wrote: Windows Seven in 2010. Does Anyone Still Care? I simply don’t get it: Vista is barely out, nobody seems to like it, CIO’s refuse to upgrade, analyst firms tell them to wait, individual users who tried it switch back to XP, others time their new PC purchase so they can […]

The GUI is New Again

The GUI is New Again

By Denis Pombriant on March 23, 2011

I saw an interesting CRM user interface the other day and, while I don’t usually write about something as basic as the UI, I was drawn to this one.  Actually, I’ve been very interested in a new class of UI emerging lately; something we haven’t thought about in a long time is re-emerging, possibly as […]

You Won’t Have an iPhone moment Without a Brand

You Won’t Have an iPhone moment Without a Brand

By James Governor on February 27, 2011

I got back from Lotusphere in an interesting frame of mind. On the one hand something kind of amazing is happening. I could tell the Web developer/designers I share an office with that IBM was going to create opportunities for them in its customers. That’s right – the banks, the retailers, the insurance companies, the […]

At Oracle, Closed May be the New Open. Whither MySQL?

At Oracle, Closed May be the New Open. Whither MySQL?

By Merv Adrian on November 10, 2010

I hope I can be forgiven the cute headline. It speaks to a series of events that were heard in Oracle Open World messaging, where the word “open” appeared much less frequently than in years past. Oracle is fortifying its borders, opening new fronts in its market battles, and slowly closing itself off from some […]

Windows is the dominant (Java) Developer OS: So what is Microsoft going to do about it?

Windows is the dominant (Java) Developer OS: So what is Microsoft going to do about it?

By James Governor on October 28, 2010

Tweet Stephen wrote a great post based on data from our new RedMonk analytics platform the other day that set me thinking. Its easy to blithely assume that all developers use Macs these days, but the data doesn’t bear such a thesis out. Briefly, Ian Skerrett of Eclipse asserted that, according to Eclipse’s community survey […]

HP Slate 500–Big Yawn.

HP Slate 500–Big Yawn.

By Zoli Erdos on October 22, 2010

I love my iPad.  I hate my iPad.  Was preparing to dump it for the Samsung Galaxy Tab, until it turned out to be a 7”-er now.  Size matters, after all (or is it just my eyes?). So I got momentarily excited reading about the HP Slate 500 but that was a short moment. The […]
