Wayman has been a "steadying force" at HP through "a period of massive change," Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle told the E-Commerce Times "I think you could argue that HP has been through nearly as much change in the last 10 years as it did in its first ten years,"...

Before starting, I think it appropriate to pause and remember one of our passing friends. Cnet's James Kimpassed last week, and in an industry often defined by over-bright superstars with bad people skills, he was a true hero who was well-liked and respected by all who knew him ...

As we roll to the end of the year, events continue to take place that are changing dramatically the technologies and environments we live in. Last week, Microsoft had a coming-out party for Vista -- but only for the business market ...

Microsoft faces the daunting task of overcoming consumer and corporate apathy to hit their projections of 90 million copies of Vista in the coming year, according to Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle "Fortunately, or unfortunately if you think about it, they have a h...

"You could do a lot for a thousand bucks rather than allowing a kid to play video games. That's more than most people spend on a family vacation. So it just isn't justified," Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle told TechNewsWorld. "A lot of folks are concluding that if they really want a PS3 they can wait until they are reasonably priced."

We are working our way toward the end of the year, and this year appears to be going out with a bang. The most recent drop in our river of discontent was a memo written by Yahoo's chief marketing officer talking about what other people in the company needed to do to fix it ...

Given that it only affected Second Life users' game time, it was not as destructive as some worms have been. Also, Grey Goo does not appear to have been financially motivated -- that is, it didn't try to phish or otherwise steal personal financial data from users. Nonetheless, players were rattled by the interruption -- which was likely the whole point, says Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group...

As the end of the year approaches, I will begin talking more and more about the big things expected to drive the 2007 Technology Segment. One of them, particularly since the Democrats are back in power in the U.S., is a move toward Green, and HP took a huge step to get ahead of this parade last week ...

Here in the U.S., last week was a big week, where we had a minor revolution and tossed out the arrogant bums who should have seen this change coming. There is avideo that probably speaks to this better than I ever could. Interestingly enough, I found it on Technorati -- more on that later ...

The iPod crowd may not be as constant as the Mac faithful, agreed Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst of the Enderle Group "The loyalty isn't there," Enderle said. "This is a CE audience and consumer electronics audiences tend to switch vendors about as often as peopl...

I spent most of last week in Las Vegas with IBM, learning about things that firm doesn't often talk about. While that was going on, Oracle implemented the first step in its latest world domination plan and I continued to hear chatter on Apple's planned surprise for Microsoft during its Vista launch. This is Halloween week -- and we are in store for a scary ride...

As we approach the end of the year, thoughts traditionally turn to the future. I thought I'd get an early start. Near term we have the widely rumored launch of the new Apple Newton, uh, I mean iPhone. A little further out we have the emergence of true telepresence -- which brings the possibility that companies will no longer reimburse business travel for most of us...

"The task ahead of Microsoft now is to generate interest in an upgrade that has been in the planning stages for so long that people may have become complacent," said Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle. "They have tried to keep potential customers on the edge of their seats for a long time, and now is the time to get them ready to buy."
