As for concerns that information about secure components would be jeopardized, the most carried-out repairs are "focused on screens and batteries," observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group The contention of a threat to security "is largely false, mainly bec...

Tesla sure didn't have a good week last week, given the kind of press coverage it got. (I just did a search and this was the top result when my search box autofilled "Tesla is going bankrupt" -- apparently this is a popular search topic.) The company's latest quarterly results were astonishingly bad. I'm not that worried about Tesla going away, though, as its products are far too popular for it to disappear. On the other hand, management clearly needs to be fixed. ...

The big news last week was that Apple finally agreed to settle its fight with Qualcomm. Kudos to Tim Cook, because I've known a lot of CEOs who rather would have fought to the death than admitted they were wrong -- and not only wrong but acting disingenuously the entire time. (Fighting this to the death would have been far worse.) ...

"The opening remarks in the latest action in San Diego detailed documentation from Apple indicating [it] had been acting disingenuously and had embarked on a five-year plan to destroy Qualcomm," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "Both Apple and Intel wer...

Last week I attended a coming-out event for some of Qualcomm's latest processors, a massive update on its artificial intelligence effort (which included an innovative Quantum element), and a connection to 5G most likely didn't see coming. I think this is a game-changer. ...

"We really need to work out how to intermix drones with commercial traffic and think through security aspects of the related platforms," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "We also need to have a better solution for people attempting to weaponize these ...

"Price remains the biggest problem for iPhone sales, and these displays are more expensive and will likely be used as an excuse to again raise prices," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, an advisory services firm in Bend, Oregon "Margins are Apple's sust...

There should be no argument that we live in a diverse world, and that the technology industry doesn't reflect that diversity. The lack of diversity in employees makes it very difficult for companies, both in and out of the tech market, to address their increasingly diverse customer base effectively, whether buyers or end users. ...

"In general, this will increase [Google's] costs, but it should also result in a better quality of worker, and should improve their image, which needs a lot of help at the moment," observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group With relation to its workforce pol...

One of the things I mention very infrequently is that I was groomed to be a CEO from a very early age. At IBM, I was part of two programs. One was a unique Tiger Team effort designed to correct underperforming units by eliminating problem executives, and then replacing them with team members until new and hopefully better executives could be found. The other was the firm's grooming program for top executives. Those were on top of my three management degrees and Certified Management Accounting certificate. ...

Apple Card looks like the most attractive credit card on the market at the moment, but it won't always be that way, predicted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, an advisory services firm in Bend, Oregon "When a card launches, it often launches with very aggre...

"They appear to be trying to do the right thing, but balancing between free speech and copyright infringement is almost impossible," observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "There is really nothing you can do now with regard to regulations on the Web about...

I spent last week at Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference, and I expect this will be the last year it will go by that name. The company has evolved significantly during the last decade with robotics, artificial intelligence, and even complete workstations and servers taking it well beyond its GPU roots. My bet is this will become Nvidia's Developer Conference going forward, as the firm displaces Intel in the hearts and minds of developers and buyers. ...

"Lenovo typically builds high-quality products for relatively low prices, which is why Disney, which has very high-quality requirements, has used them in the past for their headsets," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "One of the big issues with the fir...

Another issue with streaming services has been latency, especially in the mobile realm. However, the deployment of 5G technology should help address that problem, noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, an advisory services firm in Bend, Oregon "While 5G ava...

Elizabeth Warren's desire to curtail Facebook, Amazon and other companies that have misused their massive power -- or may do so in the future -- is well founded. The U.S. appears to be trending toward civil war, and I'd place social media in general on the wrong side of this trend. I do think most of us want to avoid that war. ...

Still, "some seem to believe that free speech means you have to listen to what they say," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "Even though that's incorrect, it doesn't reduce their belief that their own words should be inviolate," he told TechNewsWorld...

"If the world were just the United States, Warren's proposal would ensure competition," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, an advisory services firm in Bend, Oregon "But the world isn't just the United States. We compete globally," he told the E-Commerce...

The tech market is defined by its battles: Microsoft vs. IBM; Apple vs. Microsoft; Netscape vs. Microsoft; Google vs. Microsoft. If Microsoft were a person, it likely would have PTSD. Then there was Apple vs. Google, and now the big one is Apple vs. Qualcomm. ...

Employee activism can be somewhat dangerous for a high-tech company, though, according to Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, an advisory services firm in Bend, Oregon "Policy should typically be set at the top of the company, not at the bottom," he told TechN...
