HPE Unveils Huge Single-Memory Computer Prototype

The memory-driven computer "is an odd mix of technology, heat use of optical, and flash, so memory speeds should be exceptional, but there's no GPU, and [it uses] ARM CPUs, so processing could be relatively slow," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "T...

Google’s New Mobile OS Will Have a Distinctly Non-Linux Hue

The Massive Unintended Consequences of Self-Driving Cars

I attended last week's opening of Intel's big new Autonomous Driving Lab in Silicon Valley, and it is an impressive effort. One of the most interesting parts is that the garage in the lab was built for a past CEO of the firm Intel acquired in order to challenge for technology leadership in this space. The chief clearly didn't want his four-wheeled baby left out it the sun. ...

Nintendo Drops New Portable on Market as Switch Sales Take Hold

What People Don’t Get About Tesla

Tesla is like Apple in that it represents a revolution in thinking. Although everyone seems to focus on the electric power plant, that is really a small part of the Tesla revolution, and I'm convinced that if Musk were to launch an almost-identical company but with gas engines, it would cut through the market like a hot knife through butter. In terms of volume, the electric part isn't as much a sales accelerant as it is an impediment. ...

The iPhone Model’s Impending Obsolescence

It is easy to look back on technology changes and see that we had plenty of warnings that we clearly missed at the time. VCRs gave way to DVD players, which in turn have given way to streaming services. Brick cellphones evolved into flip phones, which were swapped out for two-way pager phones and then wiped out by the iPhone model. Tape players gave way to the Walkman CD player, which gave way to the iPod, which also ended up in the iPhone model...

Why Is It OK to Abuse Customers?

I don't know about you but I can't seem to get out of my head the image of that poor Asian doctor who, seemingly unconscious, was dragged off that United flight. The fact that the airline did that to a 69-year-old doctor just so it could save money moving employees around is nearly as unbelievable as the initialtone-deaf response from United's CEO, who blamed the passenger. (It was only after a tremendous backlash that the CEO offered an actual apology.)

Google Spins VR Experiences on the Web

Why VR Is Failing

As a market, we seem to have trouble learning that three key elements are necessary for a new technology to take hold: It has to appear complete, it has to be compelling, and it has to seem like a value (be affordable). Compared to what we have today, the car that opened up the automotive market in the U.S. was none of those things -- yet it was incredibly successful. ...

Google’s Fact Check Labeling System Goes Global

By taking that approach, Google is avoiding responsibility for the quality, according to Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "This appears to fall under the 'we want to look like we are doing something but really don't want to fully fund the effort' category,...
