I think it would depend on the depth of experience on your resume.  I mean, if you have experience as a CIO and a ton of articles published in journals, then it wouldn't be necessary.

I am speaking from personal experience when I say that social media can work against you unless you have someone in charge who (1) is familiar with corporate objectives, (2) has effective communication/marketing skills, (3) understands what their goals are, just as Christopher said earlier, and (4) has the ability to interact with individuals at

While there is a rather significant security issue (which I guess is pretty much analogous to privacy) at the moment, outside of the current zero-day exploit, IE has actually gotten much better over the years.  In fact, the biggest reoccurring security issue that I see related to IE is when people don't update it.

Oops, I see that CNET updated the article saying that Amazon "had reversed course", so the other posters were correct about the $15 opt-out.  Still not super happy about that, but it is only $15.   

You should be able to use it, but with T-MO you will probably only get "EDGE" speeds.  "EDGE" is another way of saying slow as molasses 2G, but at least it sounds fast.

 

I agree with you 100% about Zynga.  I'm sure they would disagree, but when I look at that company I see a business that doesn't focus on original ideas, but rather on monetizing the ideas of others.  To use your example of Harvest Moon, Yasuhiro Wada brought a new concept to gaming.

Data analytics has been a great way for us to gain insight into our customers behavior, but it doesn't really tell us what they will do in the future. We are discussing a predictive modeling project, and there is some debate whether we can do this in-house, or whether we need to contract out for the project.

Windows 7 finally got some enterprise users to migrate to it from XP because it offered improved security and functionality.  Key word = some.   It remains to be seen how Windows 8 will be received.

In a way it is like the transition from when every village had a blacksmith or two to the industrial age, when production of metal goods shifted to foundries.  A lot of people (and I mean a lot, look in the phone book and see how many "Smiths" are there) had to leave their profession and do something else.  Was this a good thing?

One think that I found interesting was the increased language support for Siri, specifically the addition of Korean and Cantonese since I travel to Asia occasionally.
