I didn't attend Computex this year, and that was sad for everything but my budget, because there was a ton of cool stuff announced at the show. Dell, HP and Lenovo showed off new designs that were both attractive and compelling. Mixed-reality headsets hit; based on Intel and Microsoft technology, they were far more affordable than the strong virtual reality stuff already in market (and some aren't bad looking). New core wars broke out, as AMD's 16 Core Threadripper was challenged by Intel's 18 core i9.

"Right now, Plex is pretty young -- and like all young products, the more technical you are the better experience you are likely to have," suggested Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "This gets more interesting as the DVR component matures, but making it as e...

The small amount of content currently available poses another potential pitfall for OEMs trying to build demand for these products, observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "It all really hinges on how much money and resources Microsoft puts behind the prod...

It is kind of amazing how much advancement is going on in the autonomous car space. A year ago, we were mostly talking about cars that seemed comparatively boring, because they just drove on the surface. How quaint -- how 2016. Now when we mention "boring," we may be talking about Elon Musk's new underground tunneling idea. ...

"It's always dangerous to piss off three-letter agencies," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "Doing so while operating out of Russia would be even more problematic," he told TechNewsWorld....

When Snapchat first came on the scene, it was not much different than a dot-com like Twitter, as compared to a viable entity like Facebook, suggested Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "They were popularity first, figure out revenue and profit later," he rec...

Nvidia earlier this month launched a massive new push for intelligent machines, including what is likely the most expensive volume workstation in the world designed for this purpose. ...

"Toyota's on a path to try to save the car as we know it," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "Most everyone else is looking to turn the car into a rolling elevator," he told TechNewsWorld. "Toyota's effort to favor its guardian angel concept, which f...

"This seemed to be more of a statement of direction, one that places AI as Google's highest priority," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "Nvidia showcased more actual advancement at their GTC event last week," he told TechNewsWorld....

The memory-driven computer "is an odd mix of technology, heat use of optical, and flash, so memory speeds should be exceptional, but there's no GPU, and [it uses] ARM CPUs, so processing could be relatively slow," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "T...

The development of the new OS is driven in part by security concerns that potentially could cost Google billions of dollars if they aren't brought under control, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "They want to better control both the quality and timin...

One of the interesting things atDell EMC World last week came from Karen Quintos, the most powerful woman at Dell. ...

Show's screen gives Echo users a more comprehensive connection to Amazon's services, noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "You can see what it is you are buying, you can read the lyrics of the songs you are playing and sing along, and you can better inte...

"I wouldn't use it for production," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group It's "too expensive," he told LinuxInsider, "but short of that, it could be very useful." ...

I attended last week's opening of Intel's big new Autonomous Driving Lab in Silicon Valley, and it is an impressive effort. One of the most interesting parts is that the garage in the lab was built for a past CEO of the firm Intel acquired in order to challenge for technology leadership in this space. The chief clearly didn't want his four-wheeled baby left out it the sun. ...

The success of handheld gaming devices is due in part due to the drain gaming places on mobile devices, observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "Mobile is a big element, but playing games on your smartphone can draw down the battery, making it harder to ...

Tesla is like Apple in that it represents a revolution in thinking. Although everyone seems to focus on the electric power plant, that is really a small part of the Tesla revolution, and I'm convinced that if Musk were to launch an almost-identical company but with gas engines, it would cut through the market like a hot knife through butter. In terms of volume, the electric part isn't as much a sales accelerant as it is an impediment. ...

"Facebook, through Instagram, is working to stunt Snapchat's growth," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group It is "emulating what Snapchat does, making it redundant and new users less likely to download it," he told the E-Commerce Times.

"This is nasty, and maybe the best thing ever to happen for BlackBerry in recent memory," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "The reason is that FalseGuide is designed to provide elevated permissions for the external attacker, and automatically install ...

It is easy to look back on technology changes and see that we had plenty of warnings that we clearly missed at the time. VCRs gave way to DVD players, which in turn have given way to streaming services. Brick cellphones evolved into flip phones, which were swapped out for two-way pager phones and then wiped out by the iPhone model. Tape players gave way to the Walkman CD player, which gave way to the iPod, which also ended up in the iPhone model...
