Security patches. You should attend Defcon in Vegas. Plenty of interesting android security talks. One of which was a "cannot be fixed in 2.x as it is an architectural/design issue".
If you lack the domain knowledge, then you lack the skills and experience to make it happen. Then you might probably also lack the awareness and the business knowledge against what you are proposing, meaning you probably shouldn't propose it in the first place.
this is key. One of my bosses found it difficult to justify to upstairs how to raise my salary (he already doubled it:)) so he sent me off to $10k worth of classes, and tossed in extra days at the hotel, and I got to bring my wife along too.
I think you mean "license". The rumor was that for the first versions of Android, Google actually _paid_ them to use it (aka, revenue sharing).
I don't think any phone manufacturers or telcos have to _pay_ Google to use Android. But, the licensed Android does come with requirements (bundling various google apps such as search, gmail, etc).
Just like a lot of the BSA fines - it's all mom & pop and small shops. Which major banks, payment processors, retailers have been suspended or removed?
All the major ones, TJ Maxx, Sony, etc, are still doing credit card transactions...
I don't have an ICS device to test. How do you set it up to use full device encryption? Everything I've read says it's not in use yet, and is only available, in a limited basis, on tablets running 3.x...?
In defense of Apple, if you use a blackberry, you have to pay shitloads of $$ for BES. So, if you are using Apple, they don't have a management solution, you should take the same $$ and buy your own iOS management solution, and there are plenty out there.
If you want to go with the Apple solution, now that Lion server is out, take a look at this:
"Managing it" is useless if it doesn't even provide the minimum level of function you need such as patch levels and "full disk" encryption. Take Android for example - other than Nexus phones, which ones are patched up to date? And which Android phone has full disk encryption?
The biggest problem is that users have no clue what they are bringing in. In my environment, we have to worry about HIPAA, PCI and SOX. Guess what happens when you bring in a mobile device and want to attach it to our network?
I need to worry about: 1) minimum security standards (passwords, encryption, etc) 2) patches 3) etc.
With iOS, I can mandate a minimum password standard, with encryption as well as patch levels. So all is good. But still have to have a MDM agent. WIth Android, unless you are on a Nexus phone, your phone will *NEVER* be patched up to date. Additionally, no "full disk" encryption possible on most of the Android phones, including Nexus!
Slashdot Mirror
bullshit. PHP stands for Pretty Home Pages.
try python and django. Biggest problem with php is that it's hard to do it securely - most of the frameworks are insecure pieces of crap.
you are shitting me right? It's perl with web oriented tooling?! just because it's a scripting language?
You're a mammal, the monkey is a mammal, so you're a monkey?
Actually, if you're on Google Plus, you'll have seen that the CEO of RackSpace have been fighting SOPA for quite some time now.
oh, look, got modded way down. Here's another chance to mod me down again, idiot modders.

Instead of a separate IT department that can break IT systems all by themselves :)

Was cool. :)
"Other tasks as assigned"
things like improving processes in your department *IS FULLY WITHIN THE SCOPE OF WORK*

You do realize that Google is giving it away for free, just like Microsoft used to do with IE, right?
You do realize this is to support mobile search right?
too bad my mod points ran out on xmas day, idiot modders at work again. I hate those morons.
damn, thanks for the links and the research.
you are shitting me right? 128k Mac from 1984 pissed you off how?
so, block every single Android device on the market other than Nexus? I know, sad...

Yeah, thought so.

As I said - with iOS, I don't see that much trouble, but....
How does your MDM help patch an Android 2.2 device to the latest patch levels when the manufacturer is not producing any updates?
and how many banks have been fined or removed as payment processors?
yeah, i thought so

Why would Dennis Ritchie have anything against it?
huh?
