Google Earth Helps Scientists Unearth Possible Human Ancestor

"Any time you instrument something as deeply as Google Earth does, there's a chance somebody remotely viewing that offering will see something nobody else has seen," Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst with the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "It does open a relatively significant window to new discoveries."

Will Microsoft Look Pretty in Pink?

"Historically, Microsoft has had problems with OEMs building handsets that properly showcased its operating system," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "Project Pink was designed to address that problem." Greater involvement by the ...

Cities of the Future, Part 3: Cloud Quandaries

"People would have to file a complaint and wait indefinitely for someone to get back to them," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. To minimize the incidence of such problems, city planners and their computer vendors would need to anticip...

T-Mobile Offers Fat Trade-In Credits to Switch From iPhone to HD2

That is hardly a deal killer, said Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group, who maintained that "of all the Windows Mobile phones, version 6.5 is the best." As for the HD2, it is an excellent high-end device that could easily rival the iPhone, depending on the user's needs, he told ...

The iPad Launched and the World Didn’t End

Last week was one hell of a week. We had the formal launch of the Core Wars between Intel and AMD, and a little product called the "iPad" entered the market. My biggest concern, thanks to the Lifeboat Foundation, was the Hadron Collider and whether I'd even wake up today. (Since you are reading this, I'm assuming we woke up today.) Thank goodness much of the related news had to do with April 1st pranks. ...

Intel, Nokia Hold Their Breath as Devs Start Noodling With MeeGo

"Samsung and Panasonic recently looked at MeeGo and said 'No thanks,' and without a compelling product in the market running MeeGo, the consumer won't even get the opportunity to buy it," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told LinuxInsider MeeGo may also ha...

Nervous Amazon Knuckles Under on E-Book Pricing

All bets might be off if Amazon were to ramp up its marketing with the next generation of the Kindle -- a device that may be very close in functionality to the iPad, according to Rob Enderle, principal of the Enderle Group. "Amazon is the largest e-tailer in the U.S., but it ...

AMD Aims to Regain Its Mojo

If AMD can capture that market share before Intel gets out of the gate, it could score a big win and move into a position to recapture much of the market share it lost after the delay of Barcelona, analyst Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group told the E-Commerce Times "Intel remai...

Cities of the Future, Part 2: Building a Central Civic Nervous System

Of course, more data won't help if it's not properly used, pointed out Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "This assumes that the data is used effectively, which, given that cities rarely use data effectively, is a bit of a stretch," he told TechNewsWorld. It...

Latest Swiss Army Knife Boasts Super-Secure Storage Stick

Is this level of safety really necessary? "It is, if you're worried about people cutting off your fingers to gain access to things," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. Bad guys who snatch or steal the Victorinox USB stick also won't be ab...

Bing’s New Bells and Whistles Could Leave Searchers’ Heads Ringing

If Microsoft is going to make Bing more feature-rich, it has to make sure it also doesn't get in its own way. Schwartz trumpeted the desire for Bing to provide a "lighter, cleaner presentation" and to "streamline and polish" the user experience. However, Rob Enderle president and principal analyst of the Enderle Group, says that hasn't been Microsoft's experience...

Intel, HP and DreamWorks: Training Dragons

I've seen some amazingly great movies in the last few weeks. I was at Disney World to see "Alice in Wonderland" in IMAX 3-D and watching that movie on a Disney property for this ex-Disney employee was truly magical. Last week, I was at DreamWorks to see "How to Train Your Dragon," and the movie engaged me heart and mind in what was also a magical experience. It is amazing how far we have come, but DreamWorks' Jeffrey Katzenberg, who spoke to us for awhile, along with a presentation by PhaseSpace, showcased that future films could not only be even more amazing, but also be made for less -- and more often. This last is largely due to technology from companies like HP and Intel, which is what I'll focus on this week. ...

Publishers Put Pricey Premiums on iPad Content

"I think Dow Jones is developing a premium service, and that has a premium price associated with it," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. Premium indeed -- apparently, Wired, published by Conde Nast, is offering advertisers that buy...

Next-Gen Nintendo DS: 3 Dimensions, No Glasses

Alternatively, Nintendo might use two screens on its console, along the lines of the lenticular lense approach, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. These screens would be stacked such that each would give a slightly different image than the other when viewed from any angle. "When you have two screens, you get 3D vision, so you don't need to use glasses," he explained...

Cities of the Future, Part 1: The Self-Aware Metropolis

"Ideally, we should be moving towards an arcology type of structure, particularly in situations such as those which existed in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina or in Haiti after the earthquake," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "The trouble is, even in the face of catastrophic disaster, people seem unwilling to change how we do things in favor of more efficient forms." ...

AT&T Deal Not Likely to Pull Palm Out of the Muck

If Palm had tried something like this a few years ago, it might have worked, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times, "but now they have a fraction of the funding they initially had, and the Palm Pre is looking dated. It is actually not a bad phone -- particularly with the mobile hot-spot on the Pre -- but they can't really afford to get the word out now, and another infusion of cash seems unlikely."

Google Should Build Better Products – Not Call Apple Names

Some weeks, truth is stranger than fiction. As I was thinking that nothing strange would happen this week, up pops a new Google hire, Tim Bray, and he starts trash-talking Apple ...

FCC Shows How to Make an American Internet Quilt

"This may be one of the most important projects the government has undertaken since the national freeway system was constructed," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "It could make the difference between whether we are a has-been country at the end of this decade, or are still on top," he added...
