As the new year rang in, Inforbix’s COO Vic Sanchez began shooting a movie. The star of his short film was a mobile app, the outcome of the company’s efforts to bring search functions to mobile devices. With the help of a
ERP (enterprise resource plannning), PLM (product lifecycle management), and BPM (business process management) belong to the same class of corporate acronyms: They all make you cringe. In many cases, they turn out to be
In software development, even giving away software seems to come with an expense. Last week, Kickstand, responsible for the popular StretchMesh plug-in for Autodesk Maya software, decided to “[launch] a campaign to evolve
RAID is an option you’ll likely want to consider for a new workstation, depending on the model you choose. The acronym stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, and refers to the redundancy that provides reliability and
I remember back in the day when we had to actually build mock-ups with telekinetic powers our hands to simulate mechanical motion. Fortunately, our fancy [...]
Just a few days before the holiday break, two honorary judges and I began reviewing the entries received for the DE cubicle toy design contest. By honorary judges, I meant to say I was honored by their willingness to help me
