"The new Fusion chips have provided the company with the means of delivering improved graphics on products ranging from $400 laptops from HP to the higher-end gaming products."

I can't claim any sort of deep attachment to or experience with the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) since my business IT interests typically fall well outside its typical focus. But I've attended the past couple of shows for two simple reasons. ...

"A company goes public to help monetize a business that has been run on either the owner's own money or the money that could be generated through the service," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, told the E-Commerce Times. "The other advantage is it moves the company from the startup stage to the business stage. It creates a maturity about the company that a company doesn't have until it goes public."

When it comes to things like HD, entertainment, home video capabilities and theability to work with large photos, "it's imperative for PC andnotebook vendors to create products that support that activity,"Pund-IT Principal analyst Charles King told me as we waited in line HD v...

"Nearly a fifth of users have paid for articles. That did jump out at me," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, told the E-Commerce Times. "While some online-only sites have been very successful -- like the "Huffington Post" -- most of their income is coming from advertising rather than premium subscriptions."

"If there are charges, they are pretty serious charges," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, told the E-Commerce Times. "Once a senior executive becomes known as someone who talks behind an employer's back, it's hard to come back from that character failure. If Hurd is convicted of this type of disclosure, his employment in technology is over."

"This highlights Microsoft's recognition of how critical a role developers will play in the success of IE9 and other HTML5-related products," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, told TechNewsWorld.

"Oracle has rebranded the Sun office suite that was based on open office technology years ago," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, told the E-Commerce Times. "It's an open source collection of office productivity applications that Sun was never really able to press into the market beyond a few dedicated Sun customers.

By any measure, IBM Connect, the annual IT analyst summit hosted by the company's Software Group (SWG), should have been a walk in the park. After all, the event followed close on the heels of IBM's System and Technology (STG) analyst briefing, and the central purpose of both events was to punctuate the company's 2009 decision to unite SWG and STG under a single banner and leader -- SVP and Group Executive Steve Mills.

"Some hardware OEMs are already saying they're developing a Chrome OS netbook version," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT told TechNewsWorld. "In the price range of netbooks and small footprint laptops, the profit margins are brutally thin. Nobody wants to go into that business."

"The gaps in Netflix's relationships may not be as important as its overall momentum," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT told the E-Commerce Times. "For years now, we've seen one media company after another attempt and fail to create viable online channels for the co...

"You could argue they're going after Microsoft, but they are not doing it head-to-head," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT. "They're aiming to present businesses and consumers with an alternative to the stand-alone computing experience which has been the model f...

"It's fair to say that these new SPARC-based products are probably the most interesting products that the combined Oracle and Sun has come out with," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT told the E-Commerce Times.
