If it wasn’t for an ill-timed battery issue on Samsung’s part, the smartphone world right now would be debating iPhone 7 vs Galaxy Note 7. Instead, that talk has been put on hold, at least until another month or so until Note 7s are back on the market. That talk will come, because the Samsung and Apple are the two biggest smartphone companies in the world, and their fans are legion (and quite frankly, sort of irrational).

Pokémon GO is no longer the highest grossing game in the app store, and the reason isn’t because it’s not popular, but because it’s poorly monetized.

Walk into our house and you will be visually inundated by family photos on the walls. But in an effort to preserve aesthetics, there are only so many pictures that we framed and hung. And like many people, apparently, we have thousands more images in boxes, albums and scrapbooks. I’ve really been wanting to digitize all of them. It’s just that the task of doing so seems so overwhelming, especially when considering how it has to be done. The time-consuming effort includes lining images up on the flatbed scanner of our printer, or using a smartphone app to snap pictures of the pictures and then clean it up, correct for color and transform those red eyes into real blues and browns — one by one.

Everyone is talking about data. How to access it, wrangle it, learn from it. Entire businesses (including mine) are being built around data. However, many businesses are struggling to make sense of the data deluge. And while they flounder, others are forging ahead, using data-based decision making to capitalize on huge opportunities. In short, data is a big deal: top-performing companies are  three times more likely than their competitors to be “sophisticated data users.”

We have been making a great deal of fuss lately about the health of our presidential candidates, or at least, about our right to be told something about it. As a physician, I can’t help but wonder why we care. Why does the health of presidential candidates matter? I concede the question is apt to sound odd, because everyone presupposes the answer to be self-evident. It’s not.
