This year was likely the last of an era where vendors could afford to shotgun out products and services and hope that buyers would take them. 2009 will be much harsher on practices like this, as funding will be very short and misses will be career limiting, severely for some. Looking back, there were a number of products we covered that stood out as being amazing, and one I can't picture living without at the moment.

"I don't think consumers are yet equipped to make these investments wisely and likely will be defrauded more often than not, as a result," Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "Their better path would likely be to invest in lowering their own carbon footprint because, at least this way, they can be generally assured of the result."

It will be difficult to know just how strong Oracle is until the company announces its next quarterly results in early March, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "The financial performance of a business always looks backward, not forward," he told the E-Co...

The new president-elect for the U.S. isn't even in office yet and he is already wrapped in scandal. Fortunately we can live with this one as it had to do with whether he carried a Zune or an iPod, but given some were calling this -- and I'm not kidding -- "Zunegate," I thought the event was interesting ...

"Single sign-on is important because it promotes loyalty to a site," Rob Enderle, principal analyst for the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld, "but the goal is to be first out of the gate with something like this -- if you are using another system already, it is not likely you are going to switch."

The economic pressure continues to increase and there is a reasonably good chance that we'll be down to one large car company in the U.S. by this time next year -- Ford, which appears to be the only one that isn't saying it won't survive without a massive cash infusion from the U.S. government ...

One of the first jobs I ever held was as an auto mechanic and have had a passion for cars that predates my passion for technology. Watching the U.S. auto industry make mistake after mistake until it was nearly out of business has been particularly painful for any of us who love both cars and our country. I'm in the market for a new car myself, and there isn't a single one from any of the Big Three that excites me at the moment. Based on how well the Japanese and Korean car companies are doing, I'm guessing I'm not alone...

Following are some of the most innovative new Web applications, according to Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group: SugerSync...

It was an interesting week last week, made even more interesting by a bunch of news services calling our U.S. president-elect either the new Hitler or a Marxist, suggesting these folks got some really bad eggnog. This should be filed under NOT HELPING. While tempted, I'll avoid further mentioning that insanity in the hope they sober up and instead focus on some interesting tech moves...

"Many have tried to guilt Steve Jobs into being a philanthropist, but he just won't go," Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "[He's] not that kind of person, really," he remarked "If he is doing any charitable work, he and Apple ar...

Over the last several days I've attended two conferences that are focused on predicting and changing the future of technology and technology companies. The first was put on by Digital River, a firm that specializes in setting up or improving profitable online stores like Apple and Dell have, and we were focused on strategies for increasing company revenues and profits in these troubling times.

"If you look at the initial Wii products, most of them don't give you a good workout. They get you up out of the chair and moving around, but they don't give you a good workout. There is still a significant opportunity to create a line of offerings that are both fun and really do give you a good workout -- something that most folks who bought the Wii were expecting," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld...

Loyalty Lab's partnership with Virgin America is particularly shrewd, observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group "The large airlines are faced with the need to reduce their costs and have been targeting customer loyalty problems as a way to do that," Enderl...
