"Gartner Says That by 2017, 25 Percent of Enterprises Will Have an Enterprise App Store Growing Number of Enterprise Mobile Devices and Enterprise Adoption of MDM Will Drive Demand and Adoption of Enterprise App Stores Analysts Examine the State of the Industry at Gartner Application Architecture, Development By 2017, 25 percent of enterprises will have an enterprise app store for managing corporate-sanctioned apps on PCs and mobile devices, according to Gartner, Inc. Enterprise app stores promise greater control over the apps used by employees, greater control over software expenditures and greater negotiating leverage with app vendors, but this greater control is only possible if the enterprise app store is widely adopted.  "Apps downloaded from public app stores for mobile devices disrupt IT security, application and procurement strategies," said Ian Finley, research vice president at Gartner. "Bring your own application (BYOA) has become as important as bring your own device (BYOD) in the development of a comprehensive mobile strategy, and the trend toward BYOA has begun to affect desktop and Web applications as well. Enterprise app stores promise at least a partial solution but only if IT security, application, procurement and sourcing professionals can work together to successfully apply the app store concept to their enterprises. When successful, they can increase the value delivered by the application portfolio and reduce the associated risks, license fees and administration expenses."  Gartner has identified three key enterprise app store trends and recommendations of how organizations can benefit from them:  The increasing number of enterprise mobile devices and the adoption of mobile device management (MDM) by enterprises will drive demand and adoption of enterprise app stores. Enterprises already have numerous choices for downloading software onto PCs, but most of them don't include support for smartphones and tablets. Enterprises are beginning to f

Very soon you will be able to earn money just by walking.A new app is about to be launched which will convert your steps into a cryptocurrency similar to Bitcoin. With Bitwalking you simply generate money by walking. Once installed on your phone, the free app converts steps to Bitwalking dollars (BW$) that you can manage and use as you wish. The money you generate accumulates each day, and remains in your account until transferred or spent. This is presented by the app designers as a disruptive and revolutionary innovation (they usually are) but also one with a moral mission. It is proposed that it can help to improve health and happiness by encouraging more exercise. Also, it can improve the environment through pushing us into walking rather than driving and because it mine coins through human movement rather than via computers. (...) Even more audaciously Bitwalking is also suggested as a enabling freedom and equality. We believe that everyone should have the freedom, and ability, to make money. A step is worth the same value for everyone - no matter who you are, or where you are. What matters is how much you walk. The drive to do social good has been presented as central to the development of this new app with the creators including developing countries, such as Malawi, amongst their test sites. Sportswear brands, charities, health insurance companies and environmental groups are to be targeted for involvement in the Bitwalking marketplace where the virtual currency can be used to buy goods or trade for real money. Also, the data will be made available to advertisers(with security and anonymity safeguards, of course). I have previously developed an argument that self-tracking is contributing towards a reconceptualisation of exercise into labour. Here I suggested that the standardisation of exercise activities through tracking and digitisation and their subsequent accumulation into valuable (to advertisers, insurers and others) data means that

"Amazon Flex allows drivers to get paid to deliver packages from their own vehicles. But is it a good deal for workers?"

Amazon is apparently enlisting everyday humans in its network of endless online shopping delivery. The WSJ reports that the ecommerce giant is working on an app internally that would allow the average consumer to make a little cash by picking up Amazon packages at various retail locations and dropping them off at their final destination.

Le réseau social professionnel Linkedin souhaite se rendre incontournable avec une nouvelle application et des nouvelles fonctionnalités : email, carnet d'adresses, agenda seront accessibles et synchronisés avec les comptes Google et Outlook. Les utilisateurs pourront accéder à l'historique des conversations passées et rendez-vous avec chacun de leurs contacts, recevoir des notifications d'anniversaires et de changements de poste. Ces nouveautés seront lancés aux États-Unis, accesibles sur invitation dès la semaine prochaine. 

BYON is a by-product of increasingly common technology that allows users to create their own mobile networks, usually through mobile wireless hotspots. Security professionals say BYON requires a new approach to security because some internal networks may now be as insecure as consumer devices. Jim Kunick, an attorney with the Chicago law firm Much Shelist, said BYON represents a more dangerous threat to data security than employees who bring their own smartphones or tablets into the office. "The network thing blows this up completely, because it takes the data out of the network the company protects," he said. "There's no way to ensure the security of that data. People are running corporate apps and processing corporate and client data using networks that may or may not be secure.

"NextKids is an offshoot of the popular co-working company NextSpace, which has 10 locations in California. NextKids, at the Potrero Hill, San Francisco location is like co-working meets daycare--with a community of working adults--graphic designers, biomedical engineers, app developers--and their kids. It's like 'it takes a village,' only with more Wi-Fi."

"That wiggle room in the middle is a space that a new service called Breather hopes to occupy. The service, which launches today in New York City, works like this: Instead of paying monthly rent for a desk you use once or twice a week, the Breather app lets you duck into one of its small, cozy (and very nicely furnished) workspaces for an hourly fee. You simply pick a location on the map, reserve a space for anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours, and unlock the door with a code on your phone. It's like an Airbnb or Zipcar for when you want to zen out, charge your phone, or sneak in a nap."

Mais les pessimistes, comme Larry Summers prédisent que dans dix ans un Américain âgé entre 25 et 54 ans sur sept sera sans emploi, contre un sur vingt dans les années 1960. Une question se posera alors : comment répartir les fruits de la croissance ? La réponse turlupine déjà l'Amérique, où de nouveaux milliardaires apparaissent chaque semaine - comme les fondateurs de Whats-App -, où les très riches continuent à s'enrichir, tandis que le salaire moyen baisse depuis 15 ans.

"L'offre va donc désormais s'appeler Google for Work. "Nous n'avons jamais cherché à créer un environnement de travail "classique" : nous avons voulu réinventer une nouvelle façon de travailler. Il est donc maintenant grand temps d'opter pour un nom qui reflète nos ambitions. C'est pourquoi nos produits "Google Enterprise" s'appelleront désormais simplement "Google for Work". Lorsque nous utilisons les outils qui simplifient notre vie, comme la recherche, Google Apps, Google Maps, Chrome, Android ou encore Cloud Platform, notre travail aussi s'en trouve amélioré. Et ça, c'est une motivation extraordinaire pour se lever le matin !, indique Eric Schmidt, p-dg du géant."

"L'économie du partage vient d'être transposée sur un nouveau domaine : le marché du travail. Noam Scheiber du site New Republic observe avec inquiétude les débuts d'une nouvelle app, «  Wonolo » (contraction de « Work. Now. Locally « , 'Travaillez. Maintenant. Localement'). Créée par 2 développeurs de San Francisco, Yong Kim et AJ Brustein, elle permet aux entreprises américaines de diffuser des offres d'emplois pour des postes qui doivent être pourvus sur des délais très courts, dans l'après-midi, ou dès le lendemain matin, par exemple. "

"So companies like Facebook and Twitter rely on an army of workers employed to soak up the worst of humanity in order to protect the rest of us. And there are legions of them-a vast, invisible pool of human labor. Hemanshu Nigam, the former chief security officer of MySpace who now runs online safety consultancy SSP Blue, estimates that the number of content moderators scrubbing the world's social media sites, mobile apps, and cloud storage services runs to "well over 100,000"-that is, about twice the total head count of Google and nearly 14 times that of Facebook."

"Advocates of these "alternative work arrangements"-many of which are enabled by sharing or on-demand apps such as Uber and TaskRabbit-bill them as a way to trade unemployment, burnout, or hating one's job for freedom, flexibility, and financial gains. Skeptics, meanwhile, point to the costly trade-offs: unstable earnings, few or no benefits, reduced job security, and stalled career advancement. But what do the gig workers themselves say? Gigged, a new book by Sarah Kessler, an editor at Quartz, focuses on their perspective. In profiling a variety of people in contingent jobs-from a 28-year-old waiter and Uber driver in Kansas City, to a 24-year-old programmer who quit his New York office job to join Gigster, to a 30-something mother in Canada who is earning money through Mechanical Turk-Kessler illuminates a great divide: For people with desirable skills, the gig economy often permits a more engaging, entrepreneurial lifestyle; but for the unskilled who turn to such work out of necessity, it's merely "the best of bad options.""

Après la publication du témoignage d'un livreur, la start-up française Frichti a été épinglée pour ses conditions de travail. Depuis, un débat s'est ouvert sur les réseaux, notamment sur le recours au statut d'auto-entrepreneur.

IT'S been true for a while that if you need to transcribe an audio recording, find contact information for a company, summarize an article, or perform any number of routine tasks, an anonymous online worker can do the job for a small payment. Amazon's Mechanical Turk, for example, recently listed 230,000 available microtasks.

"INNOVATION, the elixir of progress, has always cost people their jobs. In the Industrial Revolution artisan weavers were swept aside by the mechanical loom. Over the past 30 years the digital revolution has displaced many of the mid-skill jobs that underpinned 20th-century middle-class life. Typists, ticket agents, bank tellers and many production-line jobs have been dispensed with, just as the weavers were."

le travail = une souffrance La civilisation, c'est savoir s'émanciper du travail, pour créer des idées, de l'art, etc.  L'absence de travail est devenu aujourd'hui l'absence de rôle de fonction dans la société.  Le nombre d'heures de travail a été divisé par 10, parfois par 100 depuis le début du 20e siècle. Quel est alors le projet humain ?  La caractéristique de l'homme : un être qui évolue et qui se construit dans l'échange.  Le banquier vend des biens qu'il n'a pas eu à produire
