Businesses spent over a trillion dollars on enterprise software and IT services last year, with a healthy forecasted growth fueling an otherwise flat IT market. You might expect this investment would be producing better and better software, but every day you probably experience the reverse. Cryptic error messages, confusing flows and plain old software crashes seem as inevitable as death and taxes. But they don’t need to be. The difference between disappointment and software people love to use boils down to just five golden rules. In previous posts, I discussed the fundamentals of understanding your user and creating a consistent and performant experience. In this final post, we wrap up balancing the needs of the head (pragmatic security) with the heart (user delight).  Rule No. 4: Be Secure (Yet Practical) Data is digital, and digital data is vulnerable. Personal data, corporate secrets -- it’s all fair game for cybercriminals. It doesn’t matter how performant or user-cen

"I need to be a different sort of doctor for people at different ages and phases of old age." Robert Lang Photography/Getty Images Dr. Louise Aronson says the U.S. doesn't have nearly enough geriatricians — physicians devoted to the health and care of older people: "There may be maybe six or seven thousand geriatricians," she says. "Compare that to the membership of the pediatric society, which is about 70,000." Aronson is a geriatrician and a professor of medicine at the University of Cali

Hunter Pence hit an inside-the-park home run, and the Texas Rangers defeated the host Boston Red Sox 9-5 on Tuesday night. With a runner on second in the sixth inning, Pence hit a high fly ball just inside the right field foul pole. Boston's Brock Holt lunged into the crowd in an effort to catch the ball, but it fell just over his glove. Holt thought the ball went into the stands for a home run, but it instead caromed off the base of the wall and trickled along the warning track toward the bullpens in right-center field. By the time center fielder Mookie Betts reached the ball, which had come to a stop, Pence had scampered around the bases to make it 9-3. Texas' Ariel Jurado (4-2) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks with six strikeouts. Xander Bogaerts and Betts homered for the Red Sox. Braves 7, Pirates 5 (8 innings) Brian McCann hit two home runs, one of them a tiebreaking, three-run shot that propelled Atlanta past visiting Pittsburgh. The game was ca

Mookie Betts worked a walk-off base on balls to carry the Boston Red Sox to a 4-3 win over the visiting Texas Rangers on Wednesday afternoon. Christian Vazquez opened the ninth with a ground-rule double, and Jackie Bradley Jr.'s single to shallow right moved pinch-runner Marco Hernandez to third. After a four-pitch walk to Michael Chavis, Betts coaxed a five-pitch walk off reliever Jesse Chavez (2-2), breaking the reliever's 22 2/3-inning scoreless streak. Andrew Benintendi finished 3-for-4 with two doubles, a triple and two RBIs to help the Red Sox snap their three-game losing streak and win for just the second time in seven games on the current homestand. Rafael Devers had two hits and an RBI, Vazquez posted two hits, and reliever Matt Barnes (3-1) notched the win with a scoreless ninth. Elvis Andrus had two of Texas' five hits, going 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run. Hunter Pence drove in two runs. Texas starter Lance Lynn and Boston's Rick Porcello each

Images On Thursday night, the NBA played its final game ever at Oracle Arena in Oakland. It was a memorable occasion, with the Toronto Raptors winning the league title on the Golden State Warriors’ home court. And so we used that idea for Friday morning’s PFT Live draft. What were the most memorable final games at NFL stadiums? Big Cat and I went back and forth through three rounds, and we threw out a couple of others that missed the cut (our friend Paul Allen will relate to one of them). Check out the selections, and chime in via the comments. PFT Live returns Monday, and we’ve got only two more weeks until our pre-training camp hiatus.

Illinois defensive lineman Jamal Woods watches between plays during the 10th day of Illinois football training camp at the Campus Rec Fields Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2018, on the University of Illinois campus in Urbana. While we're waiting to see who'll line up at quarterback for Illinois in 2019, here are numbers that speak even louder. Think Defense. With a capital D. Twelve Illini opponents in 2018 averaged 6.0 yards per rush. Only Oregon State and UConn finished below Illinois (508.3) in yards permitted per game. More than anything, that explains a 4-8 record. Somehow, some way, the Illini must stay healthy and play a level of defense sufficient to — take a deep breath — defeat someone they're not supposed to. This has been an elusive goal throughout the past decade (42 wins, 80 losses). "We weren't good enough last season," said Austin Clark, the Illini's second-year defensive line coach, "and we're harping on it. We need to get stronger.

Danny Wuerffel took the snap from center, turned to his left, and with the flick of his wrist, the ball was out. Wuerffel has executed that throw — a perfect spiral — thousands of times at the University of Florida and during six NFL seasons. It’s just that none of those precise passes were executed on a steamy scorcher of a morning at The First Academy in Orlando or, more interestingly, caught by Michael Vick. "We’ve been playing catch this week,'' Wuerffel said. "That was a great experience.'' Michael Vick, taken first overall by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2001 NFL Draft, is on the board of the American Flag Football League. He also is a player. - Original Credit: Stephen Ruiz/Orlando Sentinel - Original Source: Stephen Ruiz/Orlando Sentinel (Courtesy photo) Wuerffel, 45, and Vick, 38, are captains on the Florida Fury, who will participate in the American Flag Football League Championship this weekend in Florham Park, N.J.
