Machine learning may be a key differentiator for these kinds of products in the future, noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "By using the experience of all users to predict what you want, an application can reduce the overall editing time for a project ...

While LibreOffice offers a few nice improvements from the recent launch of 5.4 and the earlier launch of the 5.3 family, the product has a long road to travel before it is able to supplant Office 365 in any meaningful way, suggested Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group...

The idea that Google might be becoming a national threat is what struck me when I read a Washington Post column by Zephyr Teachout, who currently is an associate professor of law at Fordham University. (As a side note, Teachout would seem to be an ideal name for a teacher.) ...

"Echo is the segment leader in terms of both market share and third-party hardware support. This move potentially ensures the first and eventually expands the last," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "Amazon is the market maker for the segment. The other...

HP is the new turnaround king -- but is it better than Apple? By "better," I mean a better potential investment. ...

Robots "are wrong less often," observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group Also, "they never have a bad day, they can more easily multitask, and they're a novelty people might go to a store to see," he told CRM Buyer....

"The effort is noble, though I'd feel better if this project was managed by someone other than Google, with the appropriate medical background, oversight and protections, such as a major hospital," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. Privacy Question...

"Real-time AI is the eventual goal for the vast majority of projects," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "AI should be able to move at the speed of thought, or it'll just be an advanced script," he told TechNewsWorld....

It is starting to worry me how little the responses by tech firms will do to fix the problem of extreme views instead of just driving them underground. A good deal of the reason for this is the excessive focus firms now have on how they are run ...

"Oracle was late to this party and is still largely regarded as being an inferior solution," observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "In Oracle's class, particularly for high-performance applications, the Nvidia/IBM partnership likely puts IBM in the lea...

It is summer -- a time when a lot of us get to see new movies, many of which totally suck. The folks who made The Emoji Movie apparently were worried about its Rotten Tomatoes score (it had earned a 0 percent rating at one point, based on a scattering of early reviews), so they stopped critics from publishing further reviews until just before previews began running. The result was a great opening day, but attendance fell off sharply because, well, the movie sucked. ...

At a rumored US$1,400 sale price the coming iPhone 8 likely will test just how much people are willing to pay for a new phone -- particularly, how much parents are willing to fork over for their kids. While iPhones once conveyed status and sense of luxury, similar to a brand like Cadillac, pretty much everyone and their brother has iPhones today ...

The way Comcast's and Google's ToSes are worded "suggests that even if you store information with them they can use and repurpose it," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group The wording suggests that these services own the content sent through their services...

Samsung also does a better job of marketing its phones than others, added Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "It's going to come down to marketing execution," he told TechNewsWorld. "I have no doubt that they'll have the budget because they just had a phenomen...

Facebook knocked it out of the park with its financials last week, and a lot of its success comes from Zuckerberg's unique focus. Unlike other firms that jump from project to project, ranging widely from what makes them money -- like Google -- Facebook stays close to what made it successful. There is no stronger evidence than when you compare the two office projects from Apple and Facebook.

I just finished reading an interesting hard science fiction book called "The Punch Escrow" by Tal M. Klein (a movie is in the works) ...

"This survey did indicate the respondents wanted knowledgeable staff -- and for that, I'd argue part of the knowledge is knowing about the customer, not just the product, so that the advice can directly address the customer's unique problem," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group...

However, Ask Avnet is "more of a limited response system, and we've had those for some time," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "You could do what they're demonstrating with scripts, for the most part, and an old expert system," he told TechNewsWorld. "...

HP just took over the PC market lead worldwide. You probably don't get how incredible this is, so here's an analogy: It's as if a crooked referee put a bunch of lead on a racer who already was overweight and shuffled him to the back of the pack, but in the end, the guy finished first. You'd seriously want to look under his T-Shirt to see if you'd find Superman's costume. ...

"The Wright Brothers' 'Kitty Hawk' was a test of concept, not a practical vehicle -- and at this phase, so is Hyperloop," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "Before Kitty Hawk, the idea of heavier-than-air flying was debated. After, it was whether it co...
