"The Web as we know is going to be completely altered by the arrival of video," Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle told the E-Commerce Times. "The opportunities to reach a more focused, more interactive audience is going to drive major changes." That change is already...

One of the big problems for complex companies is the ability, or inability, to use expertise developed in one area in another. This is one of the reasons complex companies like Sony often fail; they have all of the disadvantages of that complexity and don't really get the anticipated synergies or economies of scale that were generally used to justify the creation of their complex structures...

Despite Microsoft's concern for the challenges facing midmarket businesses, Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle told TechNewsWorld that the software giant is somewhat on again, off again when it comes to this segment "Microsoft's midmarket division has languished over ...

On this day in the United States we celebrate our independence from what was reported to be a very oppressive government. Of course, since the victors get to tell the story and it all happened even before my time, I have little doubt there was another side. History may seem black and white, but I know the history I have lived through seldom was ...

"Microsoft recognizes that it is at its best from a competitive standpoint when it's focusing its time, energy and resources on innovation and making better products," Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle told the E-Commerce Times. "They recognized some time ago that they have to get back to that sharp focus."

Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle told TechNewsWorld that gamers, and those pushing the performance envelope on PCs, have clearly seen AMD continue to deliver the most powerful set of processors in their class "AMD has been dominating the high end of the market now f...

I just had one of the most surreal experiences in my life. I attended, as AMD's guest, the F1 Race in Indianapolis where 14 out of the 20 cars racing, including the Intel car, left the race after the parade lap ...

A lot can be drawn from watching the initial moves of a new CEO. In Carly Fiorina's case those moves were building an empire and driving a fast path to becoming the largest company, as well as the most visible CEO, in the segment. Both goals were achieved, but afterwards Fiorina lost focus and ultimately, she lost the job ...

Finally, after sending signals of this move ever since Steve Jobs re-took Apple's helm, the company last week announced that it will move to the x86 platform. While I had clearly anticipated this move for some time I also expected their execution, once announced, to be much more rapid than it will be. Apple's traditional mode of operation is to wait until the absolute last minute and then announce any major release to avoid the Osborne effect, (named after a failed computer company that was known to announce new products a year in advance of their release)...

Computex in Taiwan is the showcase for technology coming out of, and into, this country. Much like Comdex, it, and CeBIT in Europe, are the shows that have defined high technology throughout the world. The vendor battles here are no less dramatic than the vendor battles were at Comdex, and, strangely enough, they are often between and among the same vendors...

However, Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst with the Enderle Group in San Jose, Calif., asserted that while RFID might be tough to crack, it won't make entertainment executives feel less anxious about releasing DVDs of movies as they appear in theaters He explained t...

For several years a number of us have been anticipating the emergence of a Software Labor Union. The argument has not been whether it will emerge but what form it will take. The conditions for forming technology unions have never been better ...

Rob Enderle, principal analyst at The Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld that these types of vulnerabilities are just a fact of life with network attached technologies. "To a certain extent we are becoming somewhat resistant to the concern," Enderle said. "The expectation, of course, is that the vendors will fix the vulnerability quickly."

Microsoft has publicly proclaimed its willingness to comply with the EU sanctions, which fits with its larger strategy of shifting resources away from legal battles in order to better be able to meet the competitive threats that it faces in the form of Linux and the open-source movement, Enderle Group principal analyst Rob Enderle told the E-Commerce Times...

E3 is the conference to go to if you are into gaming. Computer games, console games, even phone games are here, and the show is all about demos and entertainment. No place else in the world can you try out not-yet-released titles, see characters and equipment that only exist in the virtual gaming world and watch live shows of costumed entertainers doing everything from singing and dancing, to showcasing their expertise with a burning hula hoop...

The very first thought that crossed my mind when I saw the new Xbox was that this is probably what would have resulted if the rumored merger between Sony and Apple had been successful. It borrows heavily from design elements common in the most aggressive products from both companies and seems to miss many of disadvantages both firms have historically suffered...

Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst of the Enderle Group, of San Jose, Calif., although unable to reveal any details about Magneto because of a non-disclosure agreement signed with Microsoft, did attest to the software's potential to slice into Symbian's lead in its market and the Blackberry's popularity among the corporate set...

A few months ago the Harvard Business Review did a piece on CEOs and pointed out the average tenure of an external CEO was 18 months, which suggests that a lot of CEOs are simply not qualified for the job they were selected for. Recently the HP board came to the conclusion that their high profile CEO, Carly Fiorinia, wasn't doing her job and took the incredibly painful path of replacing her with another who had a proven track record in the specific areas they felt HP needed more work. In that instance it wasn't a qualification problem but rather the willingness to do a job they wanted done...
