Analysts: 30% of Android phones in 2015 won't access Google services

June,24,2014

by: Mike Dano

According to a new report from CCS Insight, the dramatic and continued growth of the Android smartphone operating system may not be the boon to Android developer Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) that some may have expected. According to the firm, fully one in four Android phones don't currently access Google services like Maps, Gmail and the Google Play app store--and that number will likely grow in the future.

Hackonomics: Cybercrime's cost to business

June,25,2014
by: Violet Blue 
They say "crime pays" -- but we can be certain the paychecks for cybercrime come right out of the pockets of every business with a digital footprint. In March, Juniper Networks and RAND Corporation released Hackonomics: A First-of-Its-Kind Economic Analysis of the Cyber Black Markets; its conclusion that the "Cyber Black Market" is more profitable than the global illegal drug trade led us to examine the cost of the cyber black market on businesses.  Read More

June,23,2014

by:  Tom Kaneshige 

For employees, nothing gets more personal than money. So when companies began doling out payments to offset Bring Your Own Device wireless service bills, employees cheered. Those cries of joy, however, may turn to tears of sorrow. The BYOD payment has undergone multiple facelifts over the last couple of years -- from expense reimbursements to paycheck stipends to wireless bill credits -- and might soon evolve itself right out of existence.

Mozilla dings Android for being too bloated to go after mass market   Fierece Wireless July,03,2013 by: Phil Golstein The first two phones running Mozilla's Firefox OS have just gone on sale, but already Mozilla is making its intentions plain: it wants to go after the mass market with the platform and believes it can do a better job than Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android at doing so. In part, that's because Mozilla thinks Android's latest software is too heavy for low-end hardware to run. Mozilla co-Founder and CTO Brendan Eich said the goal of Firefox OS is not to compete with today's high-end smartphones. "We are not aiming high and trying to crash into Fortress Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), into Fortress Google," he said at a San Francisco briefing Monday, according to The Verge. Read More

6 Steps IT Can Take to Bring Business Into Tablet Decisions
Dec,21,2012
by:Simon Yates &Ted Schadler
CIO — Tablets are the darlings of hypermobile employees and business leaders looking to improve their processes. Because each tablet-enabled business scenario is different, only business people--those meeting with customers, inspecting stores or sitting in decision meetings, for example--know what they really need from their tablets. However, a critical concern has come to light: IT dominates the tablet decision process--and it shouldn't.

Does BB10 Need Low-Cost Devices To Succeed?
Dec,28,2012
by: Wally Swain
Many in the mobile industry are pointing to the upcoming release of the BlackBerry 10 (BB10) platform to spark the turnaround of former smartphone market leader Research In Motion (RIM). But will the allure of new high-end devices be enough? According to technology blog BGR, RIM would be wise to tackle both the low and high ends of the smartphone market with BB10. While the likes of Apple and Samsung have demonstrated how lucrative the high end can be for handset manufacturers, much of RIM’s global reach is concentrated in emerging markets such as South Africa. The blog reported that carrier Vodacom has said it has 2.7 million BlackBerry users on its South African network. That may mean developing low-cost BB10 devices and pushing them out to such markets could be what really holds the key to RIM’s future success.

Small Business Healthcare Consortium

Hello Small Business Owners,
I am writing to you because our changing health care system will have a profound effect on all of us. Now that the election is over and the Supreme Court has ruled, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is not going away. It will not be repealed and it is up to us to make sure it will work for small businesses and individuals as it was intended to do. That’s why I joined the Campaign for Better Health Care’s newly created Small Business Health Care Consortium (SBHCC).

This consortium views the needs of small businesses and their employees as a top priority. And, as a member of the Steering Committee of the SBHCC, I am personally inviting you and asking you to invite your network of small businesses to participate in a one hour, educational free webinar about the Affordable Care Act on January 15th at 11:00am CST or January 16th at 3:30pm CST. Discussions around health reform have been confusing and, sometimes, even misleading. It is the goal of this free webinar to provide factual information about the changes that are already happening and those coming in the near future. It will discuss the benefits and opportunities of the ACA and what Illinois small businesses need to do to make sure this law will benefit them.

Follow this link to register for:
January 15th: https://cc.readytalk.com/cc/s/registrations/new?cid=ecg0qj9s21aq

January 16th: https://cc.readytalk.com/cc/s/registrations/new?cid=m2wt2unotbju

Many key components of the ACA are national in nature. For instance, small businesses currently providing health insurance to their employees could be eligible for a 35% tax credit. And, while employers with fewer than 50 full time employees are not required to provide health insurance, their employees can take advantage of the ACA’s benefits. Other components will be implemented at the State level and these decisions will either enhance small businesses or provide another hurdle. One important component is that all states must implement a health insurance exchange (marketplace). These exchanges will include a rate review process with defined, easy to understand plans to consider and review side-by-side. As small business owners we share many of the same, serious business challenges. It is my hope that you and your small business peers do want to learn more about the ACA. Let’s take this opportunity to act collectively to get control of health insurance costs and improve access to coverage.

The opportunity to create positive change is now. It is about fairness and choices for small businesses. Please register:
