Last decade, Steve Jobs was the clear leader, and he ended the decade as the top CEO. We are early in this decade, but already Sam Palmisano has jumped out to an early lead. Like Jobs, it isn't because he is lobbying for this title -- it is because he is already being recognized by peers as being the best there is. ...

Facebook's changes "are a defense against Google," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld "When Google+ was launched, a lot of people signed on, people were saying Facebook is yesterday's news, and so Facebook is very much aware of the risk and...

"For a social network, it's natural to share what you're doing with your friends," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld "It's consistent with Facebook's strategy and should provide them with a deep competitive edge," Enderle added....

What is not so easy to see is how these deliberations were able to go public -- unless leaking these talks was a deliberate move, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "HP is under massive investor pressure as a result of the precipitous drop of its stock pr...

"Google should be able to pick up all the back-end stuff like credit card company support just fine, but the difficulty Google and everybody else has is the front-end infrastructure," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times "You have to f...

Carol Bartz recently showcased what happens to CEOs who don't meet expectations -- and, given Yahoo's board may be fired as well, what can happen if a board acts too slowly. Steve Ballmer has been under fire for some time for underperforming as CEO, but one hit could change him from bozo to star if it is big enough, and Windows 8 is big enough. I'll share my thoughts on Windows 8 and the Intel Ultrabook hardware that could make it into a market star, and what Steve Ballmer could do to either ensure it wins or ensure it loses this week. ...

"Flash is trending out," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, said. "Apple doesn't like it, Google doesn't like it, and now Microsoft doesn't like it." The problem with Flash, as Apple has discovered, is that it makes too many demands on both processor power an...

"The restoration of Amazon's affiliates would seem a likely outcome, and this would be a good one for California companies who took a big hit when Amazon pulled out of the State," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "The goal of the...

That focus on extreme gamers could pay off because they "are still one of the more lucrative areas of the market," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group Power Without the Price...

Carol Bartz got fired last week -- the Yahoo Board handled it badly, and she went ugly. Steve Ballmer is also seen as a failure both inside and outside Microsoft, and it is widely held that the only reason he hasn't been fired is that he and his best friend, Bill Gates, own the Microsoft Board. ...

The redesign has definitely enhanced discovery for one user. "It takes some getting used to, but it gives me more products on the first page, and I found more things that I might not have found had I had the old interface because it gives me more to see at a glance," Rob Enderle, avid Amazon shopper and president and principal analyst of the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld...

We have crazy months from time to time, but August will likely go down in history as one of the biggest tech news months of any year. From the torpedoing of Android by Google, to the off-again, on-again TouchPad sales, to the departure of Steve Jobs, to the slashing of Oracle's US$1.3 billion settlement, to the... ...

Amazon "have hired folks from Microsoft whose hire wouldn't make sense if they weren't [working on a tablet], and I know some of the suppliers who bid on the device," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group said It's possible that Amazon will come out with two tabl...

It is amazing to me the number of people I know who are basically saying Steve Jobs (some wonderful quotes from him here) leaving Apple will not change Apple. Most saw what Apple was like with Jobs, have seen that no similar company has been able to repeat what Apple has done over the last decade, and have seen both Microsoft after Gates and Disney after Walt. They even saw what happened to Dell during the short time Michael stepped down. But Jobs, who is even more hands on than the most-micro manager any of us know, will pass without a ripple. Wow -- now that is a reality distortion field.

"That's still pretty light but the extra cores really help a fully multitasking OS like Windows. A lot of things run in the background, and ARM cores don't have much headroom," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld Most tablet devices currently on...

It's still difficult to read from the video exactly what China's capabilities are. There has been a long-running assumption that China has advanced hacking skills, Rob Enderle, principal of the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld "All developed nations have both offensive and de...

"It's not so much the sensors, but the logic that connects them," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld "The result is supposed to be better focus on complex subjects with subject material dispersed both front and back, and side to side, and t...
