"The number of witnesses attesting it is true is impressive, but, with a lack of actual names, the veracity of the witnesses can't be confirmed by a third party," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "This now reads like some kind of orchestrated atta...

"The issue with browsers is that they don't generate revenue directly and thus are treated like cost centers -- with resources cut over time," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "That's how Microsoft lost its dominance. Because IT didn't generate revenue ...

IoT Insights "should reduce costs and increase customer loyalty and repeat sales, because it connects companies more tightly with the solutions they sell, which makes those solutions more reliable," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "In addition, the da...

This is the time of year for a product guide, and this year I thought I'd list my favorite unusual products as gift ideas. I'm a big fan of products most people don't have that solve a specific work problem, as well as those that could make your (or my) life easier, more comfortable or more fun. ...

I'm a longtime Jaguar fan. I've owned a ton of them over the years, and I've had both good and bad experiences with the cars. Currently I own two -- a 1970 XKE and a 2014 F-Type -- and they are about to get a sibling. I've ordered a new Jaguar I-Pace, which is the first legitimate challenger to Tesla, which surprised the automotive industry much like Apple surprised the mobile phone industry. ...

A news item that surfaced last week was particularly interesting and personal for me. Several years ago, my wife and I invested in a project called "Sanctuary Belize," and, like many of the investors, we were incredibly excited about the prospect of retiring in paradise ...

"It's more like Black and Cyber November," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, an advisory services firm in Bend, Oregon "The trend now is to capture as much money as possible before Amazon gobbles it all up," he told the E-Commerce Times....

Startups have been creating employee hell in Silicon Valley. That was in the forefront of my mind as I read the book Lab Rats: How Silicon Valley Made Work Miserable for the Rest of Us. I think this book should be required reading for anybody who thinks working for a startup in Silicon Valley would be fun. ...

"Mozilla is trying to stand out as an organization with the user's best interests at heart," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "This is well-timed, given that the issues Facebook has with data collection -- and Cambridge Analytica -- likely have people c...

Several of us have become increasingly concerned about the lack of ethics on the part of market-leading companies at the moment. Kara Swisher's New York Times column is an eye opener, considering that she concluded that "too many digital leaders have lost their minds." ...

Things have been changing at an almost unprecedented rate with regard to power structures. The last time I saw this happen was in the 1970s, when the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission took off. Suddenly a lot of the off-color, sexist and racist jokes that many executives regularly told could get them fired. A surprisingly large number of people got reassigned, fired, demoted, or otherwise punished for the same behavior that previously had made them "one of the guys." ...

For much of this year, technology companies have been showcased in a very poor light. ...

There were two interesting product launches last week. HP delivered what is pretty much a clean slate rethinking of the 2-in-1 PC with the HP Folio, and Microsoft unveiled a refresh of its Surface Line. ...

Like many of you I watched last week's Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, and I was struck by the fact that they seemed to be more about the Democrats fighting with Republicans to see which party could corrupt the Supreme Court more effectively than they were about senators doing their jobs. What bothers me most about that is, regardless of the goal, if you corrupt the highest court in the land you effectively destroy the Constitution -- and by doing so, the country. ...

An interview with IBM CEO Ginni Rometty, conducted earlier this month by Walter Isaacson for Amanpour & Co. on PBS, is worth watching. Ginni is one of the most successful CEOs in the United States. One of the questions that jumped out at me had to do with why the number of female CEOs has been declining. ...

"If the next big interface is voice, and that looks to be the case, Amazon's trying to get to critical mass so Alexa becomes the de facto standard," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group Alexa's Strengths and Weaknesses...

The European Union has been stretching its wings. In the shadow of Brexit, it apparently has decided it has the real enemy of the people in its sights: social media companies and Google. ...

The situation "is basically an arms race, and Facebook is massively overmatched," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "When you're rolling against the governments, the efforts of any company are likely inadequate," he told the E-Commerce Times. "Government...

"Governments have many rights and powers but only one true unalienable responsibility -- to protect and nurture the citizens that underlie that government," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "France, in this instance, is stepping up to this responsibilit...

Sonos historically has been highly proprietary, as was most of the early Internet of Things industry, observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, an advisory services firm in Bend, Oregon "That means that getting a connected device to work with something that...
