Last week, I got into an argument about whether Microsoft was using TomTom to go after Linux. I also attended several events where the massive costs of the AMD vs. Intel litigation were discussed. I got to thinking how both entities -- AMD and FLOSS -- are currently defined by the dominant company that exists in their space. For FLOSS -- the open source software community, not the stuff you clean your teeth with -- it is Microsoft that seems to define them, and they have been largely the anti-Microsoft folks for all of this decade. Now that Microsoft is interoperating, has its own open source efforts, and is generally not pissing off buyers as much, FLOSS has evidently decided to FUD Linux and blame Microsoft. ...
Releasing the game as a Wii exclusive is an effort by the console maker to provide a game for the large number of adults who have purchased the console, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld ...
One of the things that fascinates me is how large companies, when given an "in your face" example from a competitor, more often than not ignore it. ...
"Realize that Yahoo and Google remain in heavy competition," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "To some extent, they're responding to each other, but the two things are somewhat different. You're going to see these guys really start to compete on technology. They're both trying to find new ways to irritate us with new kinds of ads. Pity the user in the coming war."
One surprise in the list is the apparent absence of a new title for Nintendo's popular Wii Fit accessory, something Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group, found disappointing, he told the E-Commerce Times Although there are a lot of games coming out for the Wii and D...
It would be interesting to track how much is raised through this channel. More to the point, the online classifieds and the revenues that it can raise could also provide a valuation proof point for Facebook, Rob Enderle, principal analyst for the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "Facebook really needs a revenue model that can support valuation."
"People like the idea of digital SLRs but they typically find that, after spending what is a considerable amount of money, the cameras sit on the shelf because they are simply too large and heavy to lug where they need to go," Rob Enderle, principal analyst for the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld.
A few weeks ago I compared the Obama Stimulus package to what Intel was doing to prepare for the future, and I didn't find out until later that the people at Intel were following advice that Andy Grove, their most famous CEO, had given years ago. That advice was that companies that try to save out of a recession generally fail; you have to invest in your future if you want to survive.
"This should have happened four years ago," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "The big problem with Sony is the lack of authority at Stringer's level. You put a guy like Stringer in charge and don't give him the tools he needs to fix the company. There's concern that it might be too late, but it's absolutely the right way for the company to go."
"These will certainly enhance the product. It's sort of like gilding the lily. As Microsoft goes into RC, the concern is that adding a new feature could break something else. When you hit the RC cycle, you want it to be very stable very fast," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group...
Though Wall Street clearly wanted more job cuts from Microsoft, the company has to be careful about how it goes about maintaining the proper headcount, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "They were damned if they did and damned if they didn't cut jobs," h...
"The reality is that, like Intel demonstrated earlier this month, the companies that can afford it are using this down market to position themselves for when the recovery occurs," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group In AT&T's case, voice traffic is falling...

I spent Thursday of last week at an event put on by A&R Edelman talking about the importance of trust, where they discussed their findings on a survey of around 4,000 companies. They concluded that that trust is directly tied to the market recovery and that tech companies were the most trusted ...
"It's an interesting idea, but if I'm searching on the Web, I want information fast, and video doesn't do that," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "It seems a little wrong-headed to me. A video probably isn't going to tell me whether Pedigree is the right food for my dog."
It's hard not to look at the stimulus package announced last week and not be disappointed. About 35 percent of it is tax cuts that will be so small for the majority of us that it simply won't have an impact other than to put the country in deeper debt ...
Investment, of course, is central to the involvement of enterprise organizations in open source, said Rob Enderle, principal with the Enderle Group In a tough economic environment like the current recession, there could be a negative pressure on companies to focus more on thei...
Last week was an unusually interesting week. We started the week with one of the biggest 3-D attempts ever -- both Super Bowl ads and an episode of "Chuck," both of which showcased the problems with 3-D ...
Asus, perhaps best known in the U.S. for its line of ultra-small Eee PC netbooks, is an up-and-comer in the mobile phone space. It makes sense for a navigation company to team with a company that builds phones, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld.
