"The question everybody asks is how do they make money? Monetizing it has been daunting. They're selling tweets and influence," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group told the E-Commerce Times. "If you go to the site's trending area, those tweets are promoted tweets.

"Of the two companies, Google needs the patents more because they don't have a portfolio. Apple isn't known for being aggressive in a bidding war," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "However, given the ongoing litigation between the firms, both companies are not going to want the other to get these patents, and Apple is the aggressor."

"That depends on how many news organizations the leaks go out to," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld.

As we end 2010, 2011 is looking to be a relatively violent year when it comes to technology and technology companies. As I write this, there are folkscalling the attacks by Wikileaks supporters a cyberwar, but I think it is more of a cyber-revolt, and the difference is important. ...

"'Oracle and open source' should be an oxymoron," quipped Rob Enderle, principal of the Enderle Group. "If there was ever a company more financially oriented than Oracle, I haven't heard of it," he told LinuxInsider. "A lot of the concept that underlies the open source produc...

Google and Sony vs. Microsoft, and a Touch of Wikileaks Insanity Last week was rather interesting. Both Google and Sony were talking trash numbers in competitive comments against Microsoft. Google was arguing that up to 60 percent of enterprises were ready to go to Chrome OS, and Sony was creating the impression that it had sold 4.1 million PS3 Move products. ...

This has been an interesting month when it comes to tablets. Apple has pretty much owned the segment, but Samsung reports it sold (or shipped) 600,000 of its Galaxy Tablets in the first month, which may mean it's a player. HP almost had a surprise winner in its Windows 7 Tablet, but it can't seem to buy a break and under-forecast demand, which probably didn't please its new CEO very much. ...
