A. Yes. Many of the networks have control panels that can enable or disable access to personal information.
B. Yes. I can choose to remain mostly private or public on most social networks.
C. Yes. I can control access to my profile.
D. No. Too much information is readily accessible via search engines.
E. No. Ads are targeted using analytics. I am not sure what information 3rd parties have.
F. No. Most apps require access to information without disclosing what they do with that information.
A. It will revolutionize my music listening habits! (It is Apple for crying out loud)
B. Not sure. There are a lot of music streaming services.
C. I am already a fairly loyal user of a specific service (ex. Pandora, Spotify,etc.). It would have to be that much better to get me to switch.
D. Competition is good. Power to music lovers!
What is the one app you really can’t go without?
What does it say about you?
We want to know if it is something like messaging or email (Outlook or GMAIL), games (Angry Birds, Temple Run, etc.), or social (Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, etc.).
Why? When choosing to develop applications, it is important to know where the demand is. Otherwise, you are spending resources that would be better spent on other projects. So, as a business, it would be really great to get some feedback and see what really matters to users out there.
A. Mobile productivity (I can get work done anywhere)
B. Mobile content consumption (Can watch video streamed content in bed or on the couch, or anywhere!)
C. Let’s me do my main computing tasks faster
D. All of the above
If your business does not have a mobile strategy, now is the time to reevaluate what you are or are not doing. Can you risk your competitor getting ahead of you because they have a mobile optimized web site or a business branded app that allows your competitor to better engage their customers (or steal users)?
Only time will tell. It will also depends on the oversight. Undoubtedly, someone will use a drone for a purpose it was not designed for or even intended to perform. The question comes down to whether one apple spoils the bushel?

The problem will announcements and reports like this is that a lot of things can change in a hurry in the realm of tech. New disruptive technologies can be introduced. User tastes can change (quickly, see Blackberry or Symbion). So, what the prognosticators say is not always reliable. What can really be taken away from this is that the Windows Phone OS is becoming a more viable platform. It is gaining market share and increasing the size of its library steadily. The Windows Phone OS is now a real alternative for people who are not sure if they want an iPhone, Android, or Blackberry.
Will it actually rival the iPhone? Windows Phone OS is targeting the many users who are still using a feature phone. Plus, by working with hardware partners, Microsoft has helped lower the starting retail price (see Nokia Lumia phones starting out at $150 with no contract at T-Mobile). Price and value at a lower price will definitely get the attention of those on a budget or who do not feel the need to have the de facto standard (iPhone). In addition, first time smartphone users who could not get an iPhone now have a choice.
One of the complaints about Windows Runtime (RT) has been that it does not make anyone truly and fully happy. Enterprise users don’t get legacy support because RT is powered by ARM architecture chips instead of the X86 architecture prevalent on Desktops and Laptops. Consumers have a smaller app store that is still missing some of the big name apps.
(Despite the numbers advertising, do we really need a 1,000 flashlight apps? Quality over quantity is really what is important when deciding on an ecosystem. Plus, does it have the major apps that you use?)
So on multiple fronts, Microsoft has tried to augment the app library (promotions and incentives to developers, building some apps themselves), while offering more features that enterprises want. This is where Outlook comes into play. Some organizations may not have even considered RT simply because it does not offer Outlook. Problem solved.

The growth in the tablet market has been mostly in the low end. This includes cheap Android tablets, all the way up to more feature rich tablets like the Kindle Fire, B&N Nook, Google Nexus, and other comparable devices. Even Apple has felt the heat, and as a result released the iPad mini.
So in order to compete in such an environment, do you go cheap?
Instead of dropping the price to $0 for the OS and matching Android (why switch if they are equal anyway?), Microsoft is choosing value. Reportedly, for smaller sized tablets, Microsoft has offered reduced license prices on OEM Windows 8 RT (runtime) and Office 2013. This means Windows 8 RT will not be cheaper than Android and will probably not be sold for the same price. However, if you are getting the greater productivity and the ability to play games is that worth the price difference? Some estimates indicate that these tablets will be anywhere from $50 -$100 more.
This will not kill Android, but there are a number of factors in Windows favor. The huge user base. Potential adoption by skeptical enterprises. Back to school shopping for college (fun + productive = best of both worlds?).
A. What is it? (Isn’t that a song by Beyoncé?)
B. From the beginning, of course.
C. I heard about it, but did not try it until Halo Reach.
D. I don’t play it, but I have either heard of it or have friends who play it.
E. I jumped on after Forward Unto Dawn movie came out and saw promotional photos for Halo 4.
