Carol Bartz got fired last week -- the Yahoo Board handled it badly, and she went ugly. Steve Ballmer is also seen as a failure both inside and outside Microsoft, and it is widely held that the only reason he hasn't been fired is that he and his best friend, Bill Gates, own the Microsoft Board. ...

The redesign has definitely enhanced discovery for one user. "It takes some getting used to, but it gives me more products on the first page, and I found more things that I might not have found had I had the old interface because it gives me more to see at a glance," Rob Enderle, avid Amazon shopper and president and principal analyst of the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld...

We have crazy months from time to time, but August will likely go down in history as one of the biggest tech news months of any year. From the torpedoing of Android by Google, to the off-again, on-again TouchPad sales, to the departure of Steve Jobs, to the slashing of Oracle's US$1.3 billion settlement, to the... ...

Amazon "have hired folks from Microsoft whose hire wouldn't make sense if they weren't [working on a tablet], and I know some of the suppliers who bid on the device," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group said It's possible that Amazon will come out with two tabl...

It is amazing to me the number of people I know who are basically saying Steve Jobs (some wonderful quotes from him here) leaving Apple will not change Apple. Most saw what Apple was like with Jobs, have seen that no similar company has been able to repeat what Apple has done over the last decade, and have seen both Microsoft after Gates and Disney after Walt. They even saw what happened to Dell during the short time Michael stepped down. But Jobs, who is even more hands on than the most-micro manager any of us know, will pass without a ripple. Wow -- now that is a reality distortion field.

"That's still pretty light but the extra cores really help a fully multitasking OS like Windows. A lot of things run in the background, and ARM cores don't have much headroom," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld Most tablet devices currently on...

It's still difficult to read from the video exactly what China's capabilities are. There has been a long-running assumption that China has advanced hacking skills, Rob Enderle, principal of the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld "All developed nations have both offensive and de...

"It's not so much the sensors, but the logic that connects them," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld "The result is supposed to be better focus on complex subjects with subject material dispersed both front and back, and side to side, and t...

"Right now, it looks like Linux users don't really like to pay for anything, and there isn't a vendor doing a general consumer package, which is significantly the potential market anyway," Rob Enderle, principal analyst for the Enderle Group, told LinuxInsider The big problem ...

"Certainly, there could be some amazing byproducts," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "Finding a way to cryogenically freeze someone alone could save thousands of lives, halting injury until medical resources can be brought into play or developed, for instance."

Last week's announcement of Google's plans to acquire Motorola -- Googorola -- created a massive change for Android licensees. They are now looking for alternatives, tossing the biggest smartphone platform into flux and increasing the interest in what will happen to RIM -- with specific emphasis on its QNX platform. ...

Over the last 10 years, employee benefits have suffered, whether a company is profitable ornot, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "So Verizon is not alone," he observed. "HP cut employees and almost started a strike. In the past, ...

Google lacks a strong patent defense, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle group, previously told the E-Commerce Times Google did try earlier this year to buy patents from bankrupt Canadian telecommunications company Nortel, but lost out to a consortium that included ...

I've been covering video conferencing (now often called "telepresence") products since the late 80s and saw my first offering in the mid-60s as a child at Disneyland. Over the years, product wave after product wave has come to market with the promise of the next big thing in telecommunications only to fail to meet even reasonable expectations for deployment in a market where users are measured in billions. ...

"Women are the ideal target because they have purses to carry the devices in and are more likely to be hooked on casual games than men are," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld However, the A100s still have a few rough edges, one being a rel...

"The lasers used in quantum computers will likely be specifically designed for this purpose, but the fact that similar technology has been used in low-cost consumer devices could make the likelihood of a quantum personal computer more likely near-term," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld...

Last week was kind of an amazing week. Google's chief counsel earned himself a new title: chief whining officer. He tried to blame Microsoft, Apple and Oracle (missed EMC) as companies that were colluding to force Google to stop stealing other people's stuff. Google's whiny argument made me wonder if anyone over there actually reads what they write. ...

Perhaps the real problem with Android is that Google has few patents of its own for the operating system, according to Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "Google lacks a strong patent defense because they don't own much of the intellectual property they sell,...
