Mojito is "optimized for content publishers, which is what Yahoo is, and switches dynamically between hosting and client execution depending on bandwidth and client power," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, said. "It's actually pretty impressive on paper and could lead to a much better user experience across a variety of devices and networks for Yahoo's kind of content."

I clearly hit a nerve last week when I comparedMeg Whitman's moves at HP to Tim Cook's at Apple. I do sincerely think Tim Cook was set up to fail. Steve Jobs didn't hire Cook to replace him -- he hired him to do the jobs he didn't want to do. This is why a lot of great companies slide. The existing CEOs see replacement candidates as rivals, so they make sure they don't have the skills or otherwise can't do the CEO's job. ...

"Putting wings on a human has been a dream going all the way back to Icarus," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, remarked. "This is the closest we've come to winged flight." Smeets' flight "was probably closer to the way pterodactyls flew than birds do," Ende...

Windows 8 is likely the most ambitious UI project for Microsoft since Microsoft Bob, and we all know how that ended up. What was kind of sad about Microsoft Bob was that for what it was intended to do, it was both cutting-edge and very successful. However, because it was positioned as the follow-on to Windows, the bar was set too high and the product failed spectacularly. ...

Over the years, I've watched company after company lose its invaluable edge because executives critical to its success moved on, or died, and didn't pass on critical skills. Only IBM really made a massive effort not to screw this up, and even it eventually forgot, forcing a massive reset -- which almost caused it to fail -- in the late 1980s and early 1990s. ...

Microsoft, which is dominant with PCs but anything but on tablets and smartphones, is leveraging its smartphone platform heavily to create a new PC product. Apple, which is a small player with PCs but massively dominant with smartphones and tablets, is keeping the two technologies at arm's length. Microsoft's latest OS is a smartphone-like product, although it is weakest with smartphones. Apple's is a PC-like product, although it is weakest in that space. ...
