I was struck by a recent video of a soldier who apparently took some woman's parking spot and then went off the rails when she objected. He bad-mouthed the U.S. military and the U.S., abused his wife, and put his child at risk. ...

There are several holidays tied to buying stuff. For Halloween, we buy all kinds of crap we shouldn't be eating and feed it to our kids. When Valentine's Day approaches, husbands and boyfriends live in fear of forgetting it, or getting their significant other's card, gift or flowers wrong again. ...

Like a lot of you, after reading about the departure of Jony Ive, I'm trying to wrap my head around Apple without a design focus. (Tim Cook has disputed the WSJ article -- remember when the WSJ and Walt Mossberg were basically Apple's marketing arm?) ...

I watched the Democratic debates last week and was struck by three things: I'd likely rather watch paint dry; the application of technology to improve the experience was nonexistent; and I'd bet that if the Democrats don't up their game President Trump will have them to thank when he wins re-election. ...

As things stand now, the tech companies know the value of the data they're collecting and consumers don't know that value, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, an advisory services firm in Bend, Oregon "Typically, when one side knows the value of something...

I'm giving myself extra wiggle room because we know things rarely happen as fast as we think or progress as slowly as we hope.

I attended Cisco Live last week, and one of the things that impressed me was how many amazing things the company has been doing that have nothing to do with products, services or revenue. ...

Amazon plans to begin drone deliveries within the next several months. The drones have become far more capable, safer, and less noisy, but there are five other problems that will need to be addressed before this delivery method reaches its full potential. ...

"Their survival is on the line," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, "but I'm not convinced they recognize the real risk any more than Microsoft did decades ago." On the other hand, it's possible that big tech will face no more than "a small fine and a ma...

Like a lot of folks, I'm a tad sick of Intel. Last month we learned of its second big security scandal in as many years. Once again, the company not only neglected to disclose the problems in a timely way but also lacked a plan to recall the failed parts. ...

However, "most Zigbee homes already have a Zigbee hub, and Alexa will also work with Insteon," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "Having redundant hubs can lead to some interesting problems," he told TechNewsWorld. "I'm a fan of the single hub approach....

The cutoffs from Google and Microsoft "are likely the most painful, because once the stay is lifted, that will deny patches for Huawei customers' devices," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. That "will make their related products excessively risky for b...

I went to Lenovo Accelerate last week and feasted my eyes on one of the most innovative PCs I've ever seen. However, as I absorbed the rest of Lenovo's announcements, I realized I was looking at just the tip of what could be a significant coming change in personal computers -- one that could eclipse every change we have seen so far. ...

Still, "if you get enough random data, you could run an analysis with AI and figure things out," suggested Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "The regulations don't say you're OK if there's a breach and the data stolen is random," he told TechNewsWorld....

Apple, Google and Microsoft are three very powerful companies. Two of them had big events last week -- Google I/O and Microsoft Build. What I found interesting was that both Google and Microsoft largely were on the same page about focusing on the customer. ...

The Pixel 3A, coupled with the advancements in Google Assistant announced at I/O, will put real pressure on Apple, maintained Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, an advisory services firm in Bend, Oregon "The advancements to Google Assistant are massive," he t...
