It should look like a game you'd enjoy playing. I like most genre of games, but fighting games, puzzle games, and JRPGs probably rank towards the top. I also love StarCraft 2.

Kosmix was acquired by Walmart in 2011, but I hadn't heard of them before your question. WalmartLabs is part of the R&D group that I mentioned.

One thing that impressed me all the time was that any small improvement, when done at Walmart's scale, meant big numbers. I don't remember the specifics, but when one guy figured out how to make the printed receipts use less pape

Ever read the comic Dilbert? Okay, kidding aside, they have teams for different aspects of infrastructure, like building servers, network admin, database admin, security, etc. Then they have areas dedicated to systems for item tracking, tra

Worked there for 9 years. Its funny. Outside of this area, it doesn't occur to most people that Walmart would have IT, but they've got more people in that building than some IT companies.

The general public might become more aware if lawsuits start happening in numbers. Another possibility is that colleges and high schools pull football if they think they might be sued and can't afford it.

I've had this exact same thought process come back several times over the years, like an itch that ought to be scratched, but I haven't ever been able to nail down how I think the interface should actually work to facilitate the i

My dad likes to remind me of how much better my job is than what I could be doing. He's done construction work all of his life, and self-employed construction for as long as I've been alive. Growing up, I often worked for him dur

When I was very young, my dad traded a motorcycle for our family's first computer, because he recognized them as being "the future". He didn't end up learning to use it very much, but I learned just enough DOS commands
