I spent Thursday of last week at an event put on by A&R Edelman talking about the importance of trust, where they discussed their findings on a survey of around 4,000 companies. They concluded that that trust is directly tied to the market recovery and that tech companies were the most trusted ...

"It's an interesting idea, but if I'm searching on the Web, I want information fast, and video doesn't do that," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "It seems a little wrong-headed to me. A video probably isn't going to tell me whether Pedigree is the right food for my dog."

It's hard not to look at the stimulus package announced last week and not be disappointed. About 35 percent of it is tax cuts that will be so small for the majority of us that it simply won't have an impact other than to put the country in deeper debt ...

Investment, of course, is central to the involvement of enterprise organizations in open source, said Rob Enderle, principal with the Enderle Group In a tough economic environment like the current recession, there could be a negative pressure on companies to focus more on thei...

Last week was an unusually interesting week. We started the week with one of the biggest 3-D attempts ever -- both Super Bowl ads and an episode of "Chuck," both of which showcased the problems with 3-D ...

Asus, perhaps best known in the U.S. for its line of ultra-small Eee PC netbooks, is an up-and-comer in the mobile phone space. It makes sense for a navigation company to team with a company that builds phones, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld.

We actually are seeing a large number of turnarounds going on in the industry, and all are overshadowed by President Obama's effort to turn around the country. Last week's vote on the stimulus package would indicate things aren't going well for Obama because, while it passed, all Republicans voted against it -- but it showcases the exact kind of problem Howard Stringer is having at Sony...

"Dell was looking at doing an MP3 player, and I think what they did is, they sat back and said, 'You know, the market is moving to phones. The MP3 thing is pretty much done. Bringing out an MP3 player and competing with Apple now that Apple has 80 percent of the market ... they saw what happened to Microsoft," Rob Enderle, principal analyst for the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. He referred to the Zune media player, which has recently seen a massive drop in device sales.

However, hydro power is limited by geography, observed Rob Enderle, principal with the Enderle Group "You've got to have a stream in close proximity to make that work," he said....

Despite the massive falloff in demand among consumers for IT-related products and services, businesses still need what companies like IBM and HP have to offer, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group "IBM is actually doing better than most technology compani...

Windows 7 is coming, and even major Apple fans like Walt Mossberg are saying some rather surprising things about it. With the layoffs and financial results that Microsoft announced last week, you have to wonder whether it will be enough to light a fire under the market like Windows 95 did. A lot has changed, and I'm beginning to wonder if, like it was in the '80s, the market is getting ready to move to something else...

"Plenty of people seem to agree we can't rely on oil much longer, but there appear to be many different options and possible ways to go," Rob Enderle, principal of the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "We're seeing a hint of that with hydrogen cells and electric-powered cars on the drawing boards...

"Both IBM and HP have the kind of structure that allows them to weather a long-term economic downturn, because they have a lot of long-term contract work," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "Corporate America has been consolidating data centers and trying to use technology to cut down on operating costs, and that's what IBM does very well -- so it tends to be in high demand during times like this."

One of the main challenges IBM faces as it deploys its Lotus cloud computing software is ensuring that rank-and-file employees find the Web-based applications useful and easy to understand, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "You have to approach any tool...

Both Steve Jobs and Apple are unique -- well, almost -- in the technology market. Most companies spend their money on lots of product choices and hope to hit a sweet spot for a customer; Apple spends its money on marketing and design and drives customers to the sweet spot it creates. Most CEOs focus on financial performance, investors and big customers; Steve Jobs focuses on design, product presentation and driving employees and suppliers like cattle, leaving the traditional CEO roles largely to others. Apple and Steve Jobs are deeply intertwined, with no evidence of any real life outside or after Apple for Jobs, and no real successor to Jobs for Apple...

"When she came into AutoDesk, it wasn't doing all that great either," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times Bartz, who has a computer science degree from the University of Wisconsin, was also an executive at Sun Microsystems, Digital Eq...

"Obama is much more fluent in technology than any other U.S. president to date," Rob Enderle, principal of the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "Tech is a part of who he is -- he is used to it, and part of his effectiveness is tied to tech." Losing the BlackBerry, Enderle s...

"Upscaling works by interpolating the missing information that has been lost when the image was compressed, and sharpening lines," Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "The end result is a much sharper image that looks vastly better on an HDTV."
