Yeah, I am pretty sure I will be one of the first wave of people killed in the apocalypse.... It actually doesn't bother me much, though. I will make way for others to survive.
Yeah, I have always had an issue with this phrasing.
If company X makes less money than they did last year, they count it as a loss.... I don't really understand how that works.
Anyway, to stay on topic...
I used to pay for cable... but all it is anymore is reality TV interspersed with 10 minute blocks of commercials.... for $100/mo.... thanks... but no.
Of course, that bundled $100/mo also included the Internet connection. So really, the cable was costing me around $40/mo.
I am not a sports guy, so I don't have that to worry about and between Amazon Prime, Hulu ad free and Netflix I am at about $35/mo and don't really lose out on much media. I call that an upgrade, even if it costs about as much.
I did this accidentally once when applying for a new DL.
I didn't get my address quite right and carried that ID around for years with the wrong address. The address was good enough for the mailperson to silently correct but I always wondered what kind of havoc, if any, this caused behind the scenes.... probably none... but I can imagine it...
I would like to have a "self driving" wagon that would follow me (or a BT beacon in my pocket) that I could use to walk or bike to the store and get groceries with.
My back is not what it used to be and carrying a large amount of groceries (especially kitty litter) is hell for my lower back if it is more than a few miles. Also, all the personal shopping carts I have used are clearly designed for someone a foot shorter than me as I have to hunch over just to pull or push the thing.
Aetna will likely not give you any discounts if the data is provided by any other source.
So now I have to enter Apple's walled garden? Buy and Apple watch... oh, which, by the way, doesn't really work all that great without an iPhone or iPad backing it up so, better buy one of those too, etc, etc, etc... further down the rabbit hole until I am owned by Aetna AND Apple.... thanks...
That just sounds like poor administration.... which is understandable... SharePoint is not the easiest thing to administer.
My favorite story about SP is when I worked for a very large company. We had all over our team documentation on SP. This was the proscribed practice for all the teams in our department.
Among these documents were our DR procedures.
HOWEVER.... SP was not considered an integral (tier 1) service.... and hence would not be "failed over" as part of a DR shift to a backup data center. So.... there goes all the DR procedures....
The solution? To all team members: Make sure you keep local copies of all SP team documents.
Sure, it is like a lot of other products out there. But it has the added advantage of being a part of the O365 bundle... so you get it with no extra cost. Unlike a 3rd party solution.
It also does what it purports to do. So really, what more do you want?
As for SharePoint.... I am not the biggest fan of it either, but mostly from an administrative point of view (it is not the easiest thing to incorporate, administer or migrate...). However, from a user point of view, I can see the appeal and I use it all the time. It is a central repository of information. We use it for company calendars, announcements, staff headshots and indexed library of policies, howtos and other documentation. It works well for those things.
It is a good solution for companies who don't want to rely on a public social networking site.
I have worked for a few large companies who have run a Yammer site. It is basically just an internal company Facebook.
It can be used for good purposes. Stuff that doesn't necessarily fall into "official" company communiques or which might fall outside company org structure.
For example, charitable events that company employees participate in might have a Yammer group... stuff like that.
The fact that it incorporates into AD and as well as other MS Office tools and products makes it attractive for organizations already in the MS ecosystem.

I misunderstood. I thought AC was talking about apps being a dead medium.

Whatcha gonna do about it? Block Facebook? bwahahahaha, we are corporations... we are above the law!

No... Edge....
A dead medium. Nothing to see here.

I am sure they use the regular FB at work but have a who division which uses FB at Work which cannot communicate with normal FB while at work....

It is offensive because of lock in.

Not really a fair comparison.
I think you should concatenate all Android Wear watches, regardless of manufacturer, in order to get the actual number vs Apple.
Also, in this particular arena (fitness/wellness tracker) you should include FitBit, Nike, Garmin, etc. vs Apple watch.
Just because they are moving a large amount of product relative to other individual manufacturers doesn't really mean anything.
Yep, because you got here and get to experience the world so who cares about anyone else, right?
oops, I meant prescribed, not proscribed....
