I would consider who you're trying to impress. If you're a techie trying to impress non-techies, then do something like the QR code with a neat link or text and embed a nice little picture inside. If you're trying to impress other geeks, I would recommend going decidedly non-techie. Perhaps take the classiness factor above and beyond the norm.
I'm so used to using remote mmc consoles that GUIless does not bother me. In fact, I often become frustrated if a server does not have remote management capabilities (outside RDP). If I forget a command, it's only but a help command away, usually. As long as simple onesie twosie management tasks like accounts can be done through the GUI, I'm a happy camper.
It'll be a battle between their stupid fragmented platforms and my common sense. I don't want a smart TV that won't be smart in two or three years because they don't want to update software on my model. I want a dumb TV that I can connect all my smart things to. The problem is, HDTV manufacturers don't want to return to the dark ages when people would keep their TVs for years. The boom from the DTV transition and LCD revolution has left them sitting on quite a nice stack of profits, but as the LCD trickles down to the bedrooms and second hand markets, they are realizing how quickly their market will mature. Now that they are finished inventing useless technical advances (more Hz!) they've set their sights on selling you widgets that post everything you watch to Facebook. Better be careful flipping through the porn channels.
I wonder who Facebook isn't paying? Not to troll too much, but the government has been pretty corporatist lately. I suggest to Facebook to get some better paid lobbyists. Yes, I'm terribly cynical.
This may be, but I suspect enterprise software will be using IIS as a backend for some time. I've seen a number of highly customized apache installs, but more often than not, software vendors are willing to ride the Microsoft train for canned solutions.
As the other poster said, MDM is your best bet. ActiveSync works for basic remote-wipe capabilities, but has a specific caveat. For a device to connect to the server and receive a remote-wipe command, the credentials it uses have to be correct, which is contradictory to the whole "reset the user's password after a device is stolen" policy. Having said that, MDM is a difficult area to research without running through three books' worth of marketing/spam.
I thought these devices had already been on sale for $199 (16GB) for some time. They were the last time I was at Staples, at least. I like these devices, despite their small screen size, but I don't care for the software only being half-baked. In other news, I love my Acer A500.
I completely agree. It would seem employers seem to be taking that stance as well. The healthcare organization I work at is implementing a new smoker policy they've copied from one of our competitors. Being a healthcare facility, I can understand a non-smoking policy at work. I even feel it's reasonable to charge smokers different insurance rates. The problem, however, is that they're looking to stop hiring smokers, period.
Their reasoning is the healthcare costs and time lost to smoke breaks. In an ironic twist, non-smokers can waste just as much time as smokers by posting on Slashdot. Many people raised concerns over a slippery slope leading to the employer dictating what fat people can eat. I thought that was a stretch, but clearly I was wrong.
I have no doubt about the utility of an Android device. I have an Acer A500 and I love the thing to death. I realize Android's user base is expanding, but I'm also playing upon stereotypes (just like the marketing companies!). Also, I totally know the whole forgotten charger experience. I went without my tablet for a week.
Whoa, did I just step in a universe warp? I remember reading that previous article as them signing a contract with Microsoft and switching to Bing. Where did all the zeppelins go?
Actually, I doubt many traders use Android phones. The general public has the impression that Apple products "just work," so naturally the trading types would want to use that as they're just "too busy" to deal with something like Android. I've found Android attracts the tinkerers, the engineers, the geeks and the people who can't justify the cost of an iPhone. All but the latter likely have more disposable income, but they're also not the type that spends their money on sweaters, living room decor or jewelry. They'd rather spend their money on new toys to play with, and often times they don't want to spend a lot on them. I realize this is a HUGE generalization and there are a million and one exceptions to this, but that's been my perception of the user base for each platform.
I'd imagine that with the iPad being seen as more of a luxury item and most iPhone users having a bit more disposable income than the 1 cent Android phone owners, it's only natural that this would occur. In other news, Volkswagen owners are 3 times more likely to wear beanies or recycle.
For only $99.95, you can buy our three factor authentication software for one year! That's right, keep criminals from stealing your digital camera pictures of your cat for a nominal fee!
I'm willing to bet this picture security is no less secure than typing on a keyboard that's visible on the screen and combining it with the screen smudges. Domains probably won't use this authentication anyway, or at least it'll be optional.
You don't have to monetize everything, you know. It is possible to use one unprofitable department to improve revenues of others. Have a spine and stop worrying about next quarter more than next year.
I don't always applaud Google, but when I do, it's for a Slashdot post. This is one thing I liked about the Chromebooks - the ability to flip a switch on the bottom to unlock the bootloader.
I've had failed WD drives, but I've also encountered poorly designed Seagate drives, especially the ST9250410ASG with its constantly parking heads issue. I myself suffered this issue when my Latitude E6500 was new. They replaced them with WD drives.
Well, I suppose this makes a nice press release, but make no mistake about Facebook's motivations. This is a decision solely based on cost/revenue. Facebook does not care about its users.
Windows Phone tablets? I thought it was just Windows tablets. Windows Phone isn't allowed to be on tablets at this point, if I'm not mistaken. Microsoft only wants Windows 7 and 8 on tablets in the grand scheme of things.
I just want a super high quality dumb display. The only thing wrong with TV consumption is that there are better options for certain circumstances for consuming content. I want to do this with a set-top box, however. I don't want a TV with apps on a market that won't be supported in a year's time.

I generally do the same. I usually will spend about 10-15% more at a retail store if it means I don't have to wait for an item to ship.

Why can't legislators realize that everyone learns differently? Oh yeah, lobbyists.

I remember my transition from a labor job to a desk job. I miss physical work.

Well, that and chasing around farmers with IP lawsuits because the wind blew a GM seed into his field.
