Hate to disparage/., but have ANY of the topics out of the BI section been insightful?
Maybe my expectation is that it will get me thinking technically or even business decision making. They haven't. They just make me wish I hadn't spent the 5 minutes (I'm a slow reader...) reading the article and researching if the author is some sort of hack.
Same reason code always stays on the same platform:
If it aint broke, don't fix it.
Ambiguous, or poorly written code behaviors, not making sense to anyone else, poorly documented requirements, requires the genus who built it. And that person seldom wants to revisit / be reminded of WTF code. Heck, they seldom remember their code before.
This is basic diffusion model of business. Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Majority, Late Majority, Laggards.
Here's what I recall with the adoption trend of mobile device consumption.
It started with the geeks, and then the guys.
Then teenagers adopted it. Holy buckets, text messaging went through the roof.
Smart devices came out. Mostly geeks, guys and the group of teenagers. Parents were still playing catch up to why their child sent 2000 text messages and now they owed $1k to the cell phone company.
Social media explodes onto the seen. The teenagers are growing up. They are consuming and in turn demanding more enhancements. Companies are responding because they need to keep adding adopters.
Social media became a status symbol. Note: I did not say cool. Cool is attitude, not imaginary friends, followers, tweets, etc. Cool is measured in binary, yes or no. There is no magical calculation that establishes cool. No amount of bling makes someone cool. You are either Fonzy or Richie. Analogy stolen from Dennis Miller.
Now there are apps, web and mobile, for all social sharing for everyone. It is going from saturation to supersatured as the industry tries to secure all the late adopters.
CIOs all read the same material, attend the same conferences, and listen to each other. Even more so when the CIO is not a real technology person, but some CFO / CEO / middle manager forced/dropped into the CIO position. The majority do not think for themselves but follow the herd. They will say anything to make it sound like they are on the cutting edge of technology in order to retain their funding and positions / head count.
He said to the FBI that he did so that the code would be available to him in the event of losing his job, and to use it for his private business, which is teaching computer programming.
How much involvement did he have with the code? Meaning how much of it did he write?
Even in a complex system, a hands on developer should know enough of the concepts that they could mock up something for later. Not necessarily a functioning application, but pseudo-coding at a high level to re-evaluate later.
Seriously, if someone is teaching computer programming, how much specifics are you going into? You don't need the line by line, but the concepts.
Well maybe if you are teaching how to debug large scale code, I could see the need to have a library.
Maybe he is an example of the old joke, "those who can't, teach." I'm not a fan of the joke as it was good teachers who helped me to hone my analysis skills.
Searching for a better detector for mesothelin, Andraka coated paper with tiny tubes of atom-thick carbon. Antibodies stuck to the carbon nanotubes can grab the telltale protein and spread the tubes apart. The carbon’s resistance to the flow of electricity drops measurably as more protein attaches. Tests of the paper using blood samples from 100 people with cancer at different stages of the disease identified the presence of cancer every time, Andraka reported.
They developers have maxed out the items available at 85k, which the project exceeded a couple of weeks ago. There are people moving in and out. It will be awhile before they hit mass market, but it would fit the bill.
Yawn... this happens in the USA too. Anywhere you have personal records, there will be an employee who will access them for purposes other than intended. Do you think the people at the DMV haven't used their access to check on people that they have no business checking? How about the people that manage passports? There was that mess a few years ago.

I'm not a real OO programmer. But I did eat at the Village Inn
Don't be so Clippy with your comments.
Good, cause its getting ridiculously slow in Win 7, and I haven't added anything to my Win 7 side... Oh wait... Windows patches.
History repeats itself, and we will return to the UI of Windows 3.1
wouldn't that be Apple iTanium?
If NetFlix is required, then are theaters? What about YouTube? More importantly what about online porn?
I'm so confused...

Everyone lies.
There are various levels of interested, and it could be more that they just want to hang out and do something, especially the girlfriend.
Do a movie marathon night, everyone bring a favorite movie. Then randomly go through them.
Casual fans won't care what order the movies are in as it has no impact on their knowledgebase.
If people are genuinely interested, they'll want to see more.
As a random way, make it a drinking game. But that's just crazy talk.
Does that mean someone would have to buy their apps twice? Clever MS and their billing / app count strategy.
Note to self, register a website ala Smoking Gun to get all the video footage... Then people's stupidity can be immortalized in the InterTubes...

The next innovation is coming.
Rinse repeat recycle.
I submitted my homework, but the intertubes are full and until they are cleared you won't receive my homework.
I have visions of AOL cds all over again... MAKE IT STOP!
If this was done intelligently, the game could be sold for half the price. It could still be finished, but the complexity or path would be different.
Once the DLC is purchased it alters the path of the game and the outcome.

Well duh... The lawyers...
As others have said, a case may incorporate many people.
And that's why I installed the Disconnect plugin for Chrome and Firefox.
Here's their main site: Get Pebble

But it sounds like what OP is looking for.

More than likely, GM contracted the profile maintenance out to some social media marketing company, rather than using a basic marketing strategy. KISS
