Everyone here likes to debate Darwin's theory but I have never seen anyone talk about exactly what it might look like. This is exactly what it looks like. Centuries if not millennia of food scarcity have forced the human body to adapt to a feast famine world. That changed for the developed world a little over a hundred years ago. Now, the ability to easily store fat is a curse and billions of dollars are spent every year to reverse it. Zone training which portends to increase fat reduction by cycling the heart rate between certain "Zones" is actually an attempt to make your body LESS efficient thereby forcing it to burn more calories for a given task.
A contractor is brought in to do a specific task for a (usually) predetermined amount of time. A consultant is brought in to asses an organization, develop a solution based on that assessment, and hire contractors to come in and implement their specific tasks for a predetermined amount of time. A contractor usually works a shift and as such can't have any other work while they are on a contract. A consultant can have multiple clients simultaneously and may not visit the client regularly if the job does not require it. A contractor is usually a guy looking for permanent work but taking contract work while he looks. A consultant is someone who was motivated to go beyond a 9 to 5 job and courageous enough to take that step of faith (in themselves) to forgo the regular paycheck for more latitude and freedom. You sound very condescending towards these individuals and that is more an indication of your insecurity than it is of their job stability. For the record. I have toyed with becoming a consultant for many years. I have my DBA and have done some work for various companies but find I don't have the stomach for it. I wish I did.
It's funny how problems that companies are experiencing today were addressed by RIM YEARS ago. Funny Apple and Google chose to ignore this...unless of course they never intended to address the enterprise market.
Don't want your employees playing games (or other time wasting activities) on their phones during working hours - There's a BES policy for that
Need to ensure your office is shutterbug free - There's a BES policy for that
Need a way to allow your employees to have personal information and work information on the same device but kept separate - There's a BES policy for that
I'm sorry but having to have your camera physically removed/disabled is ludicrous in this day and age. Even having to go to the local carrier to have a block installed is borderline insanity. BYOD is going to bring some enterprise to its knees and there will be outcries that something must be done to protect sensitive data. Companies are already lining up to provide solutions to problems created by iOS and Android not addressing security up front.
MY answer to the question is - Does your job benefit from you having a smart device with you? If yes then they need to provide it pre-configured to best serve their needs or reimburse you for bringing your own device. If you are just bringing a personal device for personal use then they have the right to restrict its use while on their time and property. Years ago I was studying for my EE degree. I had a job working for Compaq on their assembly line. I was not allowed to have my books at my station even though there was an area under the station for personal items. I had planned to study during breaks but was informed that would not be allowed. It was their right. It was my right to quit so I did after about a week when I had found another job.
Which is precisely why I am appalled that banks are allowed to be publicly traded companies. If you use a bank to store your money you are not a customer you are the product.

There are a lot of remote support options. Some good ones are even free.
My personal suggestion is Splashtop. It isn't a remote support tool but it has client's for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and BB 10/PlayBook OS2 so you could log into your mother's PC from your tablet and fix what needs fixing. It's also a one time cost opposed to a subscription.
At some point your mother will need to do something the tablet cannot do. You can still get an inexpensive tablet for her.
At 23 it is no longer the parents responsibility to provide anything.
An eagle tosses it's young out of the nest not to kill or out of malice but to teach them how to fly on their own.
This guy has all of the things you list but isn't interested in employment if he is playing games instead of looking for work. And since he is 23 his parents can't force him to get "professional" help.
Came to recommend this. It is dead easy to set up and it works better than I expected it to. I set up multiple SSIDs for different business units and an open hotspot for our guests that is isolated from the rest of the network. The ability to add an office layout is nice if you are adding more than a couple of hotspots and don't remember where HS249 is located. I haven't found anything close at this price point.
I suspect you were tl;dr the links I supplied. The Meego web site has a post from Imad Sousou of Intel's Open Source technology center handing the torch off from Meego to Tizen.
Tizen has nothing in common with Maemo or MeeGo.

I don't know about other theater chains but Cinemark actually rents out there theaters for all kind of events

Lights. Camera. Business. Cinemark Theatres offers an exciting alternative for:
company meetings

Nope...I was trying to take advantage of the sale and some gift credits I got this morning and the store worked but when I went to download my purchase....crickets. It was only for ~20 min. My download shows 8 minutes remaining.
this person is claiming that a single tool works for them... this single tool replaces a laptop.. but yet it doesnt have all the features or capabilities of a laptop..
Funny, that's not what the OP said at all. Personally I use my tablet (BlackBerry PlayBook FTW) to access my Dell Precision T7400 with Splashtop when I need to do some heavy lifting. With a BT keyboard and mouse it works just as well as a laptop. Do I keep my LT around for some things? Sure do, but the number of times I have pulled it out since I got my tablet are counted in single digits. I use my phone for as much as possible simply due to convenience but there are times a bigger screen is needed and the tablet is ready in an instant.

It may be illegal in the US as well
Just like warrantless wiretapping...oh wait!
You obviously know nothing of BB security using a BES
Get a BlackBerry.
Blast them all you want for getting left behind in the app ecosystem but iOS, Android, and WP can't hold a candle to RIM's security.

An iPad would have autocorrected that.
Yes but the autocorrected version would have been

Let me guess. You either typed this response on a tablet screen or a Bluetooth keyboard.

Now we need a published map detailing the locations of all the blacksmiths.

So we can't make a levitating version so we go big and spiky?
In case anyone was wondering where Tizen came from.
Meamo (Nokia) + Moblin (Intel) = Meego - Nokia + Samsung = Tizen
