Christopher Nerney answers Re: Why does the business side zone-out when they hear the term "Big Data"? Blackdog pretty much nails it: Business executives need technology explained in terms they understand. For them it's all about how it can impact the business. If you can show them how data analytics can identify ways to cut costs or shed new insights on their customers, they're more likely to buy in.4 days 16 hours ago

The difference is level of dependency on your Android device. Miracast requires your Android device to be active while in use (via the Miracast dongle). Chromecast only needs your Android device during initial set-up, after which it will be able to play the content desired no matter what your device is doing.

Jim Lynch nailed it: The beginning of the end for RIM came with the release of the first iPhone in 2007. RIM's leadership was complacent and condescending toward competitors. Unfortunately, the ones who paid the biggest price were employees and shareholders.

Christopher Nerney answers Re: What is a realistic amount of time to keep a smartphone before upgrading? It all depends on what you use a smartphone for. If it's mostly for texting and calling, an older phone is fine. But if you use a lot of apps, especially for your job, I think you need relatively up-to-date hardware and mobile OSes. I hung onto a Motorola Droid for three years, and the last year was torture.

Maybe trying to settle humans on Mars isn't such a bad idea after all. Because we are racing against the clock!

Not infringing on someone's copyright certainly should be Tip No. 1. It would be a shame if you stop doing perfectly legitimate things because you're worried about getting a warning letter. The first four warning letters under the Copyright Alert System are just that, warnings.

I can understand not wanting to be "that person" wearing Google Glass on a camping trip, but I don't think tablets are considered particularly weird or geeky these days. OK, maybe in the woods. That being said, I doubt the creatures of the forest will think any less of you.

The bookmarks bar comes with Chrome; you just have to make sure it's activated. There are two ways to do this: 1. Click on the "Customize and control Google Chrome" icon on the top right of the browser (the icon has three horizontal bars). Choose "Bookmarks" and then make sure "Show bookmarks bar" is checked.

At the risk of incurring the wrath of BBM fans, there's absolutely no "need" for it on Android. Messaging is a commodity service at this point, and while some platforms may include features and functionality not available on others, they all do pretty much the same thing in the same way.
