IBM is chasing two of the three technology areas that I think will change the world as we know it over the next two decades. Granted, we are currently experiencing a level of unprecedented change, thanks to the pandemic, and it is dramatically accelerating at least one of these efforts ...

Last week must have been car week because I was getting news releases that had Tesla last on the latest JD Power survey while the company again became the most valuable car company in the world. That report was pretty interesting because I think it spoke more to expectations than absolute initial quality, but I'll get to that ...

Some of the corporate responses to COVID-19 make me incredibly happy I don't work for a large company anymore. Some of the troubling reports from other companies include forced work in unsafe areas, not enough -- or any -- protection gear, massive layoffs and furloughs, and the sense that a critical mass of well-paid CEOs and politicians don't get that many people live paycheck to paycheck...

Twitter had a data security problem last week that might sound trivial. Email addresses, phone numbers, and the last four digits of the credit cards used to buy ads on Twitter were left in the browser cache after the transaction, and that cache was not secured ...

Cisco Live was last week, and this was their first large-scale virtual event. What made this event very different from the other games was the amount of effort they put into socially responsible projects ...

Qualcomm "is pretty reliable in their predictions," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at The Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "They're used to a smartphone cadence and this timeframe would easily fit within the 6-month smartphone window." The RB5's main selling point is that it...

I've been working from home for nearly 20 years, but being locked up at home due to the pandemic still drove me a little nuts. Several technology products have been particularly helpful while sheltering in place, making this semi-forced timeout feel less like a punishment and more like something I could endure ...

There can be substantial backlash toward a company that makes a product that says it's providing privacy but is mining information, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, an advisory services firm in Bend, Oregon. "It's disingenuous, and people can lose tru...

In these trying times, kids have to deal with a lot of stuff they weren't prepared for: a significant loss of weeks of education, damaged GPAs, and no assurance they'll be going back in the fall. ...

The lawsuit "looks solid," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "Large companies often find creative ways around laws and then convince themselves that they'll get away with questionable practices. That seems to be the case here," he told the E-Commer...

I'm a member of what is likely a reasonably sizable informal group of people who trained to be a CEO but declined the job -- in my case, several times. So I don't envy the position that Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is in as he tries to figure out a way to do the right thing concerning the spread of false information and defend his company against an attack by the designated leader of the free world. ...

The supply chain interruptions are resulting in broad changes to policies regarding single sourcing and a massive effort to strengthen and diversify supply chains, noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group The issue is "very significant," he told the E-Commerce...

One of the exciting things that came out of Microsoft Build during the analyst preview was that the company has been working to create virtual court solutions. I spend a surprisingly large amount of time following court cases and sitting in courtrooms. If done right, a virtual system could fix a lot of court-related problems ...

Other tools will be added to this toolkit, making the concept of a complete tool fluid, remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group There are "plenty of other toolchains," noted Holger Mueller, principal analyst at Constellation Research....

"Using a standard typically results in lower risk that the path you have taken will be a dead end," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "So it is potentially very significant, but that significance can be mitigated if any competing standards are more attr...

While Apple is being careful, it's in the same boat as any retailer opening up for business during the COVID-19 crisis, noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, an advisory services firm in Bend, Oregon "With a pandemic, where you don't know who is infected a...

Nvidia held its GTC event last week, and of the virtual keynotes I've seen so far, CEO Jensen Huang's was the best. That's because the company made the decision to cut it into segments, mostly under 16 minutes, so viewers didn't have to watch things they weren't interested in ...

"We're getting so much information from social media that Silicon Valley is material to the future of free speech," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group However, American Edge likely will put out false information and attack opponents, and that could ha...

IBM's outgoing CEO Ginni Rometty gave a compelling talk at IBM Think last week on how the company is fighting strategically for diversity. I know of only one other company, Cisco, that is taking a genuinely holistic, strategic view of the problem, resulting in a broad positive impact ...

"The two products are very different," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "The Go 2 is a high-value product -- the Surface Book 3 high innovation," he told TechNewsWorld....
