"They can have their cake and eat it, too," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "The goal here is to remove one of the reasons for abandoning Windows and moving to a pure Linux load," he told LinuxInsider....

When we have a hostile country regularly lobbing missiles into the ocean with the stated objective of transforming a U.S. state into a radioactive cloud, we have a problem. One "oops" and we could suddenly become a 49-state nation again -- and that is only if we forget the issues with fallout and the potential for a nuclear winter (granted, that could be good news for the global warming folks). ...

The most important takeaway from the survey is that "there's such a big disconnect between what the companies believe their loyalty score should be and what it is," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group Digital Transformation Issues...

Amazon's significant expansion into yet another market -- this time, grocery stores -- dominated many of my conversations last week. Clearly, Amazon warned us. I've been here before -- you see, back in the 1990s, when Amazon was just books, I was running the company's e-commerce unit. I got into an argument with one of the analysts focused on Amazon, who believed the company wouldn't go beyond books. I argued that the model it was using could -- and would -- expand to other things, but even I wasn't thinking broadly enough. ...

"More voices on the same message can better influence than a single voice on the same message because the former is more tightly targeted and the people delivering the message are more trusted," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group B2B Micro-Influencer...

Whether Adobe and Digital River will succeed is questionable. "The customer takes on some integration risk," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group The risk is that the two offerings may not necessarily be designed to go together, and customers may have to n...

"Ideally, you'd want the underlying operating system to be zero, because you want it entirely out of the way," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "This isn't there yet," he told LinuxInsider, "but it's very thin and gets out of the way as much as possible...

I was at Qualcomm last week, listening to an economist talk about Apple's complaints that Qualcomm had charged Apple too much for access to patents. What I thought was fascinating was that Apple had folks focused on the 5 percent that Qualcomm had charged it instead of on the massive profit that Apple made on each phone. ...

The two mammoth events last week were the Apple developers conference keynote and ex-FBI chief James Comey's appearance at a Senate committee hearing. Now I'm sure a lot of folks didn't have the time to watch both events -- and particularly for the Comey event, I'm sure the coverage has the right and the left believing very different realities. ...

"Softbank has been a big backer of robotics," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group Japan is "working to corner that market," he told the E-Commerce Times, "so these firms are strategic to both SoftBank and Japan."

"A game console lives and dies on the content," observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. Nintendo "needs to do a great job with head-to-head games, and this title stands out as both fun and a good showcase for the company's skills," he told TechNewsWorld...

"This will, as always, be a battle between Sony and Microsoft that'll likely capture much of the drama," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "The back story has been which one will have titles that have a remote possibility of actually being released in ou...

"Walmart pretty much owns this demographic," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. The discounted Prime membership program might work out for Amazon, because "cars are expensive luxuries" for many EBT card holders, Enderle told the E-Commerce Times. "Havi...

I didn't attend Computex this year, and that was sad for everything but my budget, because there was a ton of cool stuff announced at the show. Dell, HP and Lenovo showed off new designs that were both attractive and compelling. Mixed-reality headsets hit; based on Intel and Microsoft technology, they were far more affordable than the strong virtual reality stuff already in market (and some aren't bad looking). New core wars broke out, as AMD's 16 Core Threadripper was challenged by Intel's 18 core i9.

"Right now, Plex is pretty young -- and like all young products, the more technical you are the better experience you are likely to have," suggested Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "This gets more interesting as the DVR component matures, but making it as e...

The small amount of content currently available poses another potential pitfall for OEMs trying to build demand for these products, observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "It all really hinges on how much money and resources Microsoft puts behind the prod...

It is kind of amazing how much advancement is going on in the autonomous car space. A year ago, we were mostly talking about cars that seemed comparatively boring, because they just drove on the surface. How quaint -- how 2016. Now when we mention "boring," we may be talking about Elon Musk's new underground tunneling idea. ...

"It's always dangerous to piss off three-letter agencies," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "Doing so while operating out of Russia would be even more problematic," he told TechNewsWorld....

When Snapchat first came on the scene, it was not much different than a dot-com like Twitter, as compared to a viable entity like Facebook, suggested Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "They were popularity first, figure out revenue and profit later," he rec...

Nvidia earlier this month launched a massive new push for intelligent machines, including what is likely the most expensive volume workstation in the world designed for this purpose. ...
