There's another video game console fight coming, and Microsoft's latest -- the Xbox One -- has a hard act to follow as it joins the fray. Its predecessor, the Xbox 360, took on the competition and eventually dominated the gaming segment. It has been outselling both the Nintendo and Sony consoles for some time now. I'm guessing Microsoft felt it had an unfair advantage, because it apparently has been doing its level best to scare gamers away from the Xbox One ever since it was announced. ...

Interest in neuromorphic engineering is growing because "the technology has reached a point, at least with IBM, where it can be translated into products," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld ...

"This showcases the problem Microsoft has with this unit and a lack of marketing skills surrounding it," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "The $60 per-year charge for what you are getting is actually pretty trivial," he said. "It's $5 a month, likely ...

"The site is focused on taking short-format videos and making them into long-format videos," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "That isn't easy to do well, and while YouTube does have videos created this way -- crazy Russian drivers videos, for instance -- it is far more common for them and other services to have clips that were shot at once and edited down, not edited together."

Up to now, hybrid sales have suffered from an affliction that's common to consumer products that try to justify premium pricing based solely on technology, contended Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst with the Enderle Group Status Problem...

This year is turning out to be rather interesting and not just in technology. There is actually a guy running for mayor in New York with the name "Weiner," famous for emailing pictures of his, well you know. This year in particular feels like we are living a Dilbert cartoon. ...

Indeed, given Microsoft's investment in Facebook, it is highly unlikely that blocking Instance from Instagram was a hidden or ulterior goal for the company, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times Still, the situation has served to highli...

"No matter what happens, the consumer will be the one who pays," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told CRM Buyer. "For a lot of people that might only watch a couple of CBS shows, this could be enough to make them look at other options." In fact, "there are...

I finished my hunt for a new car last month, and as many know, it came down to either the Tesla S or the Jaguar F-Type. While affording one of those expensive cars in full performance form was questionable, there was no question we couldn't afford both. Since I'm a sports car guy, I think it is a real credit to Tesla that I placed its large sedan -- and it is large -- ahead of the other sports cars I drove. ...

Customer satisfaction is critical, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told CRM Buyer "EMC discovered that if they increased customer loyalty by 1 point, they'd gain 3 points in market share," he noted....

The Nexus 7 "is a value line that competes more closely with the Kindle Fire [than the iPad]," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, remarked Google also unveiled Android 4.3, the latest version of Android Jelly Bean.

"What motion does is give you more than touch for less money," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "You can emulate touch, but you move in 3D space, effectively adding another dimension over a touch screen, touch pad or mouse." Meanwhile, "the controller ...

This could just as easily be "Beating Microsoft 101," or "Beating ARM 101" -- basically how to beat any vendor that is dominant in a particular market. There is a way to beat a dominant vendor, but it's almost never by chasing that vendor from behind -- unless you want to spend a ton of money. Apple didn't beat Microsoft by tying to build a better PC, and neither Microsoft nor Sun ever beat IBM by building a better mainframe. ...

"The difficulty is the cost of doing business with the federal government. IBM has actually left this market on and off over the years because it got too expensive. Compliance and sales costs tend to make the number of companies competing here a surprisingly short list, as the costs can often exceed, by some magnitude, the related revenues," Rob Enderle, principal analyst, Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times...

"I don't think these moves have anything to do with the reorganization, which is structured at the CEO level and generally not pushed to the product groups until execution, or the rumored watch, which would come from a different group," Rob Enderle, principal of the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times...

Musk's estimate "is probably lowball," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. What's a Hyperloop Like?...

What you are going to see in a few days, when Dell stockholders get to vote on Michael Dell's plan to buy back his company, is a war of perceptions -- and perhaps a revelation on the state of the U.S. investor. Both ISS and the Chancery Court have clearly come down on Michael Dell's side, arguing that what Dell is offering is a sure thing, while what Carl Icahn is promising is a long shot. ...

"You'd likely need a 3D printer much like we have today with multiple heads and, instead of different colored inks, different core materials," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "That way, you could print insulated wires and electric motors that would actually run. One of the materials would need to be some kind of lubricant, of course."

Redmond "is eliminating the silos," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. Microsoft did not respond to our request for further details.

"Self-driving cars are being designed to run on the roads we have now, and it is likely densely populated cities will eventually ban cars without this technology in order to avoid gridlock," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. Several tec...
