Amazon plans to begin drone deliveries within the next several months. The drones have become far more capable, safer, and less noisy, but there are five other problems that will need to be addressed before this delivery method reaches its full potential. ...

"Their survival is on the line," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, "but I'm not convinced they recognize the real risk any more than Microsoft did decades ago." On the other hand, it's possible that big tech will face no more than "a small fine and a ma...

Like a lot of folks, I'm a tad sick of Intel. Last month we learned of its second big security scandal in as many years. Once again, the company not only neglected to disclose the problems in a timely way but also lacked a plan to recall the failed parts. ...

However, "most Zigbee homes already have a Zigbee hub, and Alexa will also work with Insteon," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "Having redundant hubs can lead to some interesting problems," he told TechNewsWorld. "I'm a fan of the single hub approach....

The cutoffs from Google and Microsoft "are likely the most painful, because once the stay is lifted, that will deny patches for Huawei customers' devices," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. That "will make their related products excessively risky for b...

I went to Lenovo Accelerate last week and feasted my eyes on one of the most innovative PCs I've ever seen. However, as I absorbed the rest of Lenovo's announcements, I realized I was looking at just the tip of what could be a significant coming change in personal computers -- one that could eclipse every change we have seen so far. ...

Still, "if you get enough random data, you could run an analysis with AI and figure things out," suggested Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "The regulations don't say you're OK if there's a breach and the data stolen is random," he told TechNewsWorld....

Apple, Google and Microsoft are three very powerful companies. Two of them had big events last week -- Google I/O and Microsoft Build. What I found interesting was that both Google and Microsoft largely were on the same page about focusing on the customer. ...

The Pixel 3A, coupled with the advancements in Google Assistant announced at I/O, will put real pressure on Apple, maintained Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, an advisory services firm in Bend, Oregon "The advancements to Google Assistant are massive," he t...

Tesla sure didn't have a good week last week, given the kind of press coverage it got. (I just did a search and this was the top result when my search box autofilled "Tesla is going bankrupt" -- apparently this is a popular search topic.) The company's latest quarterly results were astonishingly bad. I'm not that worried about Tesla going away, though, as its products are far too popular for it to disappear. On the other hand, management clearly needs to be fixed. ...

The big news last week was that Apple finally agreed to settle its fight with Qualcomm. Kudos to Tim Cook, because I've known a lot of CEOs who rather would have fought to the death than admitted they were wrong -- and not only wrong but acting disingenuously the entire time. (Fighting this to the death would have been far worse.) ...

"The opening remarks in the latest action in San Diego detailed documentation from Apple indicating [it] had been acting disingenuously and had embarked on a five-year plan to destroy Qualcomm," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "Both Apple and Intel wer...

Last week I attended a coming-out event for some of Qualcomm's latest processors, a massive update on its artificial intelligence effort (which included an innovative Quantum element), and a connection to 5G most likely didn't see coming. I think this is a game-changer. ...

"We really need to work out how to intermix drones with commercial traffic and think through security aspects of the related platforms," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "We also need to have a better solution for people attempting to weaponize these ...

"Price remains the biggest problem for iPhone sales, and these displays are more expensive and will likely be used as an excuse to again raise prices," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, an advisory services firm in Bend, Oregon "Margins are Apple's sust...

There should be no argument that we live in a diverse world, and that the technology industry doesn't reflect that diversity. The lack of diversity in employees makes it very difficult for companies, both in and out of the tech market, to address their increasingly diverse customer base effectively, whether buyers or end users. ...
