I am heading to Scotland tomorrow Germany next week and then back to the states. I will be bringing my unlocked Moto X. I'm assuming EE works there (it says it does).
I would refer back then to what the FDA considers an app. I'm not referring to documentation, but something that is performing an action (e.g a measurement). The FDA will ultimately be the arbiter, so if you are in the medical device industry (as I am) you would be wise to accept that guidance and consult with your legal and compliance teams.
Ask Pfizer exactly how much the government likes coming after violators.
We are talking about apps in the hands of doctors potentially using them for diagnosis.
There is a huge difference between that and an app in the hands of a consumer for self diagnosis (a sugar pill). The consumer can do that now with WebMD et al.
If the app impacts diagnosis in any way it is no longer just an app, it's a medical device, and subject to regulation.
This doesn't even begin to speak to patient data stored locally in an app and current HIPAA regulation.
Speaking as someone who works as a mobility specialist in the medical products industry, the FDA already issues guidance in this area. It won't be long before the guidance turns into regulation.
I can only assume by your comment that you don't follow markets in general, or Palm specifically.
Palm is more than likely going to be purchased fairly soon which will increase the stock price dramatically before the purchase. HTC seems like a natural fit, though the most interesting idea I've heard is RIM. It would be nice if Blackberry's came with an actual OS.
WebOS is the best mobile OS available, with Android a close second, so there is plenty of value there.
Palm also hold a lot of valuable IP and Patents.
I think this is somewhat analogous to withdrawing money from your savings to buy heroin. Is the bank responsible for what you do with your money when you take it out. Neteller isn't a casino, they just let their users move money to casinos.
First, it seems to me the point 1 and point 2 conflict with each other. Are you saying that management see's connectivity as your only function or you do?
For the most part, company's only see IT as necessary until a disaster strikes, or you have made yourself valuable. I would start by showing the benefits of a centralized database. If everything is in Access, move it to SQL server, or DB2, and write some helpful reports. Of course this might be problematic if they want authorize the funding for purchasing a real database platform. I suppose you could use a trial version. I wouldn't use the other suggestions of creating your own downtime or disaster though. That is counter productive, and unethical (not to mention creates more work for yourself).
You definetely have your work cut out for you. I'm really curious as to the company, as I'm an IT worker in Flagstaff email me if you don't mind releasing that info off the board.
Since I work for the company I feel compelled to correct. It is no longer Ralston Purina. We are now Nestlé Purina PetCare Company, a division of Nestlé USA, a division of Nestlé S.A.. We merged with Nestlé 3 years ago.
I'm moving to India now!! I here the housing market is unbeatable, and since I'll never be able to afford a house in FLagstaff, why not? Do I need shots or anything? Needles scare me.
Did someone put a gun to their head and force them to buy the product at that price? It's the etailers job to make money, if people aren't smart enough to comparison shop, then more power to them. How lazy are you when you won't take an extra 5 minutes to click to a rival website and check out their price?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with writing down passwords. As long as the user protects the paper they are written on. If it wasn't against our corporate policy, I'd encourage our users to do it. We expect them to use strong passwords, but don't give any viable way for them to remember them. Do you think the average user is going to remember upwards of 5 strong passwords for each different application they need to access. I Don't.
In this case the co-Director (Rodriguez) is more important, since it wouldn't be getting made at all with out him involved. Give all the credit to Miller for his writing. But, give Rodriguez all the props for having the balls to stand up and get it made without compromise
I just realized that you can already use Outlook to access your Hotmail account. So what is the benefit here? Is it the 2GB limit? I thought Hotmail already upped their free limit to 2GB. I'm a little confused as to the target audience. Unless they are trying to get people to use Outlook who don't currently use it, that would make sense I guess.
There are a plethora of articles out there right now describing the chance you take buying "pre-N" wireless gear. Since there is no N standard yet, none of these companies can claim with any certainty thier product will be N compatable. If you buy one of these products, go in expecting that it won't work with true N when the spec is actually released.

Currently reading Without Their Permission by Alexis Ohanian. I'm only a chapter in at the moment, but so far it's entertaining.

Obviously if it is a direct translation of a document no. If it is an app being used for clinical diagnostics (e.g. measuring something) then yes it's a medical device. The situation you are inferring is obviously not the case. Again there is guidance already out there from the FDA on this issue. Read it.

Obviously you've never seen "The Wire". Infinetly better than "The Sopranos" or anything else on television today.
What, if anything, does this mean for the future of DDO? Yhe best MMORPG ever created IMO.

"The only question is, will everyone be willing to relearn how to type?"
The answer is now, and always has been a resounding "NO".

I had a Gig of RAM and saw crashed in the late game, I went to a gig and a half, and no more crashes
I whole heartedly agree, but one other point: How much government subsidizing of the infrastructure is going on in the countries mentioned?
Based on whose subjective determination of "misperception"?

This article on LuminousVoid. should be of interest. It's a blog of the Broadcast Flag oral arguments.
