"What we're seeing in the high stock price of LinkedIn is the mechanism of supply and demand at work," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "What's driving the price is not the financial performance of LinkedIn. It's that people want to get into the social networking market. It's creating a fairly significant bubble."

"If I had to guess, I would say because e-book costs are less, Amazon's top-line revenues are likely higher," the Enderle Group's Rob Enderle told the E-Commerce Times. "I would guess that its revenues of e-books haven't crossed over yet [to the point where they exceed the revenues of print books] but profits probably have." ...

"We could be seeing the end of the Sony network and perhaps the end of the PlayStation Network until Sony fixes this problem," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld "It's very clear that Sony's ecosystem is not up to where it needs to be to se...

However, that doesn't necessarily mean open source tools are the answer to analyzing today's plethora of data, warned Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "The fact of the matter is that data's growing faster but analytics tools are also behind," Enderle told Li...

There's speculation that Apple might use Samsung's new WQXGA display in the iPad 3, but that's unlikely for two reasons, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld First, the two companies are locked in litigation....

Last week was a really interesting week. Google brought out its Windows-killer product, the Chrome OS, to generally good reviews -- but most of the folks I know who have covered the desktop for years are convinced it will fail. Google also brought out a home automation product and announced a robotic car technology, all of which could benefit from some Apple magic. ...

Google probably caches music by mirroring its service on the user's device, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, suggested "You hit a slim mirror of the service when you're offline, and when you come online, that mirror probably syncs with the Web host updating...

"This is yet another attempt to automate the home inexpensively," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told LinuxInsider. "We've been attempting this since the early '80s, initially with x-10 and more recently with technologies like Insteon and ZigBee." The ide...

"It isn't uncommon, particularly in politics, and Facebook is overmatched against Google and likely thinks they are fighting for their lives," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "Best guess was that that this idea came up during an election period. It is one of the ways to take down a more powerful/popular opponent, particularly one that doesn't do PR well themselves. But it needs to be done by experts, as the risk of doing it wrong or getting caught can undo much of what is done. That lesson was demonstrated here."

"They don't seem any different from regular netbooks to me except that they may not have hard drives and may not let users work offline until later this year," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld On the other hand, a dedicated device such as...

This last few weeks has been kind of amazing as I've watched companies like Oracle and Cisco, which are well regarded for brilliant moves, seem to suddenly act as if they were naked and wanted to run with scissors. ...

"I never got why eBay wanted Skype, but Facebook is in the communications business and Google has Facebook lust," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times It all comes down to deeper connectivity. Facebook and Google are both looking for w...

"Microsoft has to maintain control over the product," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, pointed out "The lesson we've learned from Apple is, if you want to assure the quality of your product, you have to maintain control over it," Enderle told TechNewsWorld....

"Microsoft recognizes it needs enough market share so advertisers treat it with some level of parity with Google, otherwise it can't compete," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times Although RIM is losing ground in the global smartphone ...

There is this debate going on in the analyst community with most arguing that the tablet market is like the PC market was, and Apple will once again be overwhelmed -- in this case largely by Google and Android. But a few of us, mostly me, are arguing that it is behaving much more like the iPod market, and Apple will emerge preeminent unless something big changes. Let's see who is right. ...

"Sony did not disclose quickly enough, so that's going to be a problem for them," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "They've taken a pretty hard image hit. For a company that is very conscious about image, it's hard to see how they recover."

"Linux probably did more damage to Microsoft's competitors financially than Microsoft itself ever did, and it clearly cut into Microsoft's profits as well," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told LinuxInsider An Alternate Mobile Reality...

"This is the ramp-up to a presidential election year," noted Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group. "Things change when people are looking to get elected or re-elected, and it does appear as though privacy is trending to be a topical issue." By contrast, the lawsuit will face an u...

"The Nook Color is really a tablet," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "The difference is an e-reader uses e-paper -- like the Kindle -- and a tablet has a TFT screen. The tradeoff is that e-paper is vastly better for reading, while the TFT is vastly better for video. The Nook is a tablet -- they've just positioned it as a reader."

I've been watching some of the drama surrounding Donald Trump, the concerns surrounding the air traffic controllers, the close call with the first lady, tourists being shot in Florida, U.S. citizens being shot off their jet skis, the inability to control spending -- and the "Shrek" version of "I need a Hero" started playing in my head. We have children committing suicide at an increasing rate and even folks jumping off the Golden Gate bridge again here on the West coast, and I really think a lot of this can be connected back to a government that has simply forgotten about the fact that the country is made of individuals who worked together to fix problems -- not politicians who complained about them. ...
