"The issue with the existing crop of game systems is they are underpowered when taken against the coming wave of 4K HDR TVs and virtual reality headsets, so both Sony and Microsoft are scrambling with updates to hardware early so these platforms don't languish," observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.

"Police tend to get inundated during [emergencies], and they have very little information until well after the event is over," observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "This is more real time and lets people communicate en masse," he told TechNewsWorld....

Larry Page is rumored to be building a flying car, apparently dropping a whopping US$100M into the effort. Surprisingly, this actually makes more sense to me than a self-driving car does, because it potentially solves two problems at once: You won't have to fly the thing yourself; and it eliminates the need for roads for those who commute to work. ...

"The two standout aspects are the hardening and the huge battery," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "Both of these should be reasonably well received if the phone doesn't turn out to be annoyingly heavy as a result," he told TechNewsWorld.

Another potential concern for customers is the loss of privacy that comes with the paid search advertising, noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. Two hundred fifty six companies were found to have tracked iPhone customer emails, serial numbers and other i...

"It's a component that has been left out of Office 365 for a while, and I'm surprised it hadn't been integrated previously," observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "Microsoft has had collaboration tools before, but integration with Office hasn't been th...

Microsoft has the opportunity to completely transform the capabilities of modern computing, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, noting that the Holographic platform is more advanced than the original Windows operating system at the same stage. "At its h...

Data accessed through NSLs raises concerns, as "the government's ability to securely and properly use the data has often not been adequate," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "In some if not all cases, this may create a bigger problem than the one the...

There were a lot of interesting announcements last week, ranging from cool new devices to what was basically an Amazon Echo on wheels from Asus. Such is the nature of Computex -- arguably one of the most powerful technology shows in the world. ...

The Saudis may be future-proofing against the shift toward alternative fuels and the rising popularity of ride sharing in the U.S., suggested Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "I suspect it is because some future projections suggest companies like Uber will o...

Broadcasters will have to test their formats for delivering the drama to remote spectators. They'll have to collaborate with leagues to ensure that the races are fun to watch, not hard to watch, observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "Drone racing just so...

I joined a bunch of analysts in discussing Hewlett Packard Enterprise's next move at a secret conclave last week. The company had just announced the sale of its IT services, which basically undid much of Mark Hurd's work as CEO. (It already had sold off PCs and printers, more than undoing Carly Fiorina's earlier efforts.) Granted, HPE spun it like it was an acquisition (I'll get to that later) but this move leaves the firm even more crippled, suggesting there's more to come. ...

Facebook is in a very difficult situation because members always will see it as tainted, and if it tries to correct the problem, members from the left will accuse it of overcorrecting, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "Honestly, I don't see an easy way ...

Apple is "moving from a maximized retail layout similar to a jewelry store, with high revenue per square foot, to more of a place to hang out, with low revenue per square foot, like a Barnes & Noble," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "This is somewh...

Leagues have to strike the perfect balance between challenging competitors and making it fun to watch, noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. Robot combat has struggled to sustain support on a national level, despite its being made "fun to compete in," he ...

Moore's law focuses on transistor density and "tends to be tied to parts that are targeted at calculation speed," pointed out Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. The TPU "is more focused on calculation efficiency, so it likely won't push transistor density. I don't expect it to have any real impact on Moore's law."

As a concept technology it sounds much like "people flypaper," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "The concept is a good one. When a person is hit, if you can keep them on the car the damage is limited to the initial contact -- but if you don't, the perso...
