    To me this is like the US terror level. Call everything insecure and suddenly nothing is.

    I don't follow.

    In the US they started these new "terror threat levels" after 9/11. But the lowest was "orange". Green was supposed to be the baseline but they never used it. It took weeks before the US adjusted to see orange as the new green. Instead of putting the country on alert, all we did was make it impossible to actually have thread levels. Once you make "everyday" an alert, it's not an alert anymore and just noise.

    I have always wondered, but never bothered to even check their website, if they chose the name Yubi because it means finger in Japanese. For example "ring" in Japanese is yubiwa.

    lol, Give your server the finger

    Don't worry too much. Lync sucks BUT Microsoft is addressing the situation by migrating people over to Skype and merging the two products.

    Not quite like Pertino but definitely similarities. Looks like this is really designed around a single tunnel scenario where you want to get Internet access as if you were located elsewhere. Pretty basic, but not a bad idea.

    I know it's not exactly the same but definitely similar.

    I use PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, Sybase, MS SQL Server, MariaDB, Oracle, SQLite or whatever fits the need at the time. Those are the ones that I used most of the time, though. But with so many new ones coming out now, using different databases for different things is more and more common.

    Is it getting txt or is it doing something like Apple iMessager.

    OK this made me think of something - Both devices are AT&T devices. I am using the AT&T messaging app on the S4. There doesn't seem to be any AT&T specific apps on the Windows Phone.

    I wonder if the AT&T messaging app can have a data connection to AT&T's SMS system somehow and pull copies off? in this way it would sorta act like iMessage...

    It's possible. I use Hangouts as my SMS client, but you can still go into the default Android app at any point and all the messages that are SMS for my cell phone number are there. Hangouts just gets a copy. This is likely what's happening.

    Yep, this is what happens for me as well (with Google Voice). Hangouts acts as the iMessage-esque client for Android. If I have Hangout on any of my phones I can get the SMS message that comes into Google Voice (although that may be different for the stock SMS messenger).

    Yup, exactly, and with Hangouts, that includes the PC, for Google Chat and Google Voice messages. For your actual cellphone SMS messages, they are just copied into Hangouts.

    Exactly - and that is what everyone is complaining about - it's a huge step backwards, but thus far it's the only solution MS has found for devices that 16 GB of storage.

    The place holders is what allowed OneDrive to work like a normal network share and allow applications to work like they always have.

    Now we need to get new smart apps that understand cloud storage, and can plug into the APIs directly, pole the services directly OR MS needs to come up with MS service (local to the machine of course) that provides this interface, and the devs only need to write to the MS service.

    I don't know, perhaps OneDrive already has this type of interface for traditional workstations/laptops?

    So, do you think this only affects the Desktop OneDrive? Like on my 64GB 8 inch tablet, I should be able to open Word or Excel and there be an option to open and save to OneDrive, without that directory being synced to my PC via the desktop. That should still be, don't you think?

    yes, this should be the case be it on the 64 GB 8 inch tablet or your laptop or desktop... Office 2013 understands OneDrive. It's legacy applications that don't.

    Then there's hope! :)...I've yet to install Windows 10 on a daily machine...VM for now...

    Great way for them to learn! And very amusing to watch them figure it out on their own.

    I use CrashPlan, and while they do not directly support NAS, there was some information I read that you could map a drive letter from an administrator command prompt and then backup the NAS that way.

    This is for trading systems. It is not for anything that a normal SMB or even a normal enterprise would face. This is very specialized. Normal workloads need throughput optimization not latency optimization. So this would be the opposite of what you would want.

    hmm.. I find myself kinda in the middle. I use both email and IM a lot, but the idea of deploying IM in my office to me personally is undesirable because I believe that it would just be a way for people to gossip all day long, and not offer a real benefit to the company.

    This is the same logic that I give for why I feel that everyone should be work from home and not in an office. Whenever I go into a large office I realize that there are no real meetings, just people talking about sports and gambling. Sometimes sports gambling. Nothing but a waste of time.

    Yes, but without large corporate offices, how are you to impress the potential clients? It's all a farce to be honest...
