I was being facetious. Apparently, that was lost on you.

Yes, but the story points the finger at Apple
and the Apple fanboys who normally flame Microsoft for similar things are conveniently absent from this discussion. In reply to: "Apple pushes Safari on Windows via iTunes updater"

The difference is that you already had IE when Windows pushed the update.
Admittedly, IE is part of the Windows build, but so is Safari for OS X. Not sure how your argument is valid? It's not the same. Safari was never installed on my XP machine, but the Apple Software Updater felt it necessary to include it in the list of updates. I should have paid more attention when it ran, but I generally trust the Apple Software Updater as I do Windows Update. In reply to: "Apple pushes Safari on Windows via iTunes updater"

I don't like that they snuck that in there
I was surprised to see an icon for safari on my desktop and nearly screamed at my mother-in-law for installing something on my pc after letting her check her email the other night. I paused, and then realized I just did an iTunes update the other day, and combined with the fact that she has no idea what safari is, I knew it wasn't her.

Thanks Apple, you nearly caused a rift in my family!!!! In reply to: "Apple pushes Safari on Windows via iTunes updater"

Good for you
You must have taken one of those speed reading courses. Of course, when you do that, you occasionally (and in this case, obviously) miss some key elements of the article now don't you.

SQL Data Services are not the same as Salesforce in that they are application independent. I've developed using Salesforce Apex and it's more of a utility or value-add-feature platform than a true application platform aside from the initial application of CRM.

SQL Data Services is renting the database rather than the application. The difference from Quicken is that Quicken's offering is to host Quicken databases.

So, yes, it would be a little more newsworthy. Now mend your broken arm once patting yourself on the back, re-read the article, and come back when you have something constructive to say that actually has merit in criticizing the article.

There needs to be a little more transparency in Health Info
HIPAA has been in effect for more than 11 years now, and only recently have most providers been pushed to all electronic records. People need to get comfortable with the fact that their information is out there. I do believe there should be some sort of repository for this info that the patient themselves can have access to. This would definitely encourage people to become more involved in their health as well as more informed of it. Imagine if patients were able to graph their own rehab progress. It might encourage patients to follow it more closely durastically improving rehab time.

Patients could be linked with others with similar illnesses and share information with one another. Patients could opt in to submit their blinded information to clinical research.

What are people afraid of? Some marketer will find out they have ED and start emailing them ads for Viagra? Guess what, it's happening anyway. In reply to: "Google to kick-start medical records program with Cleveland Clinic"
