However, what the results show is that "we really have no idea what is coming and that there is a significant number of people that will resist the changes if they violate their privacy or religious beliefs," contended Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group -- or if they believe the changes will make them obsolete...

It was natural for Facebook -- a company that is hoping to expand its service and offer more people worldwide the chance to connect socially -- to want Titan on its side, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. However, the logistical, technological and pol...

I've been having an interesting week -- first, with AMD, which has returned to profitability and stopped chasing Intel's butt to do some rather interesting different things, like merging x86 and ARM technologies. Then, with IBM which also realized that chasing Intel wasn't doing it any good. It chose an even more unusual path for its processors, making them "open."

"They are going broad. It wouldn't surprise me to see them selling cars, trucks, and even some common industrial equipment in the future. They might even partner with Tesla to do it, since they'll need product and Tesla needs to expand more rapidly," suggested Rob Enderle, principal at the Enderle Group.

"When a company like Comcast gets too big, it becomes difficult for emerging services like Amazon and Netflix to break through," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "On the other hand, if Comcast didn't merge with TWC, it might not survive."

One thing that Apple made clear when it took the smartphone market by storm and away from then-dominant players Palm, BlackBerry and Microsoft is that to win you need to make big bets and change the battle. The market is now dominated by Apple and Google technology -- much of which Google doesn't control -- and Microsoft just swapped CEOs because the old CEO couldn't pull the needed rabbit out of his hat. ...

"This is actually pretty fast for a company of Yahoo's size," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "They had to find the right person and likely went through a lengthy process." Hiring Stamos "was a great move," SilverSky's Jaquith told Tech...

However, in California, an executive's position on certain issues will impact whether the executive can function as a CEO, observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "You have to consider things carefully if you bring a CEO on board in California, particularl...

"This is more for people that live on paper and need an alternative," said Rob Enderle, principal at the Enderle Group. "Against paper and printers, it has a number of advantages, but it won't displace many iPads," he told TechNewsWorld.

"Google wants to break the economic model supporting both Apple and Microsoft," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times Or perhaps Apple just wants the money....

"It is pretty complex and technology-rich in areas where the weather, skills and ecosystem have trouble handling pre-industrial revolution technology. Logistics and support will be a nightmare," noted Rob Enderle, principal at the Enderle Group. "These environments trend towa...

Android tablets account for 62 percent of sales worldwide, based on figures from Gartner, but Microsoft is focusing on the iPad because "they prefer Apple over Google [since] Apple's economic model is similar to their own," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times...

ECS -- Nvidia's Emerging Companies Summit -- is a place to check out some of the firms that could become the next breakout company. It didn't disappoint this year. Among the highlights: A firm that could redefine advertising connected to Web pictures and videos; a company that could put your entire desktop and gaming experience in the cloud; one that could help you actually hear that TV you see at a restaurant or bar (one of my favorites); and one that equips a little box to do a workload that typically would require a server farm.

"The Philips lights talk to each other and connect through a bridge so you can do more things with them and more things will connect to them. A starter Philips kit is around (US)$200 for three lights," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "I'd expect the ...

What really surprises me about the book Haunted Empire, which predicts the decline of Apple, isn't that Apple fans don't like it. That's a given -- Apple fans only want positive books and stories. It is the level of effort that has gone into killing this book, and how much that apparently has accelerated sales. There is an old saying that the only thing better than bad publicity is no publicity, and Apple's effort seem to be driving this book onto the best sellers' list. ...

"Even though there are rules now in place regulating company behavior, if you're the odd person out racially, culturally or by gender, you'll face a certain amount of discriminatory practice," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times ...

One of the questions I've been getting regularly, both because little companies like WhatsApp are in the news and because large firms are struggling to find early stage innovative firms, is "Where do you go to see a lot of small innovative companies?" Firms like this get lost at shows like CES. They just don't have the budget to stand out against the bigger firm's announcements and footprint...

"That kind of thing could get Facebook servers blacklisted, which could actually come close to putting the company out of business," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "Foreign countries could block Facebook outright ... so Zuckerberg had a good reason to be concerned. His life likely passed before his eyes, driving the call."
