I finished my hunt for a new car last month, and as many know, it came down to either the Tesla S or the Jaguar F-Type. While affording one of those expensive cars in full performance form was questionable, there was no question we couldn't afford both. Since I'm a sports car guy, I think it is a real credit to Tesla that I placed its large sedan -- and it is large -- ahead of the other sports cars I drove. ...

Customer satisfaction is critical, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told CRM Buyer "EMC discovered that if they increased customer loyalty by 1 point, they'd gain 3 points in market share," he noted....

The Nexus 7 "is a value line that competes more closely with the Kindle Fire [than the iPad]," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, remarked Google also unveiled Android 4.3, the latest version of Android Jelly Bean.

"What motion does is give you more than touch for less money," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "You can emulate touch, but you move in 3D space, effectively adding another dimension over a touch screen, touch pad or mouse." Meanwhile, "the controller ...

This could just as easily be "Beating Microsoft 101," or "Beating ARM 101" -- basically how to beat any vendor that is dominant in a particular market. There is a way to beat a dominant vendor, but it's almost never by chasing that vendor from behind -- unless you want to spend a ton of money. Apple didn't beat Microsoft by tying to build a better PC, and neither Microsoft nor Sun ever beat IBM by building a better mainframe. ...

"The difficulty is the cost of doing business with the federal government. IBM has actually left this market on and off over the years because it got too expensive. Compliance and sales costs tend to make the number of companies competing here a surprisingly short list, as the costs can often exceed, by some magnitude, the related revenues," Rob Enderle, principal analyst, Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times...

"I don't think these moves have anything to do with the reorganization, which is structured at the CEO level and generally not pushed to the product groups until execution, or the rumored watch, which would come from a different group," Rob Enderle, principal of the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times...

Musk's estimate "is probably lowball," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. What's a Hyperloop Like?...

What you are going to see in a few days, when Dell stockholders get to vote on Michael Dell's plan to buy back his company, is a war of perceptions -- and perhaps a revelation on the state of the U.S. investor. Both ISS and the Chancery Court have clearly come down on Michael Dell's side, arguing that what Dell is offering is a sure thing, while what Carl Icahn is promising is a long shot. ...

"You'd likely need a 3D printer much like we have today with multiple heads and, instead of different colored inks, different core materials," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "That way, you could print insulated wires and electric motors that would actually run. One of the materials would need to be some kind of lubricant, of course."

Redmond "is eliminating the silos," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. Microsoft did not respond to our request for further details.

"Self-driving cars are being designed to run on the roads we have now, and it is likely densely populated cities will eventually ban cars without this technology in order to avoid gridlock," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. Several tec...

"Weve had heads-up display capability for some time and as an option, interest has been little better than lukewarm," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "This is because it tends to wash out during the day, can be distracting at night, and it is very difficult to do well without altering the windshield...

In the U.S., we spent last week celebrating Independence Day -- the day we split from a government that our ancestors didn't trust because it was disconnected from the people. It is fascinating to watch the leaks coming out lately, which suggest our government is acting against the best interests of the people, given that the focus is to neutralize the leakers rather than refocus government attention on the people's needs. ...

This is the same problem Microsoft had with the EU, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, pointed out. "The interpretation of the laws isn't very rigid ... and Google -- and earlier, Microsoft -- didn't seem to really understand that the laws work differently t...

I have a fascination with litigation. One of my early career choices was to become an attorney, and I was actually mentored for a time by a judge. Over the years, I've spent a lot of time engaged in litigation or covering it. I just watched a presentation by the National Association of Attorneys General, and these top law enforcers painted Google as a criminal organization with so much power that it has unusual influence over the federal government. ...

"Bitcoin is currency that is currently used as an alternative to cash and bypasses taxes," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "It is also heavily used by those versed in technology, and California has an inordinate amount of these folks "As a result, th...

There was a huge battle between GM and Microsoft at COMDEX years ago, when Bill Gates said, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving US$25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon." GM got pissed and issued a press release suggesting how a Microsoft-built car would operate, comparing it to Windows -- how often the car would crash, how incompatible it would be. GM brought up pretty much everything that was wrong with Windows a decade ago (this event is archived here). ...

"It'll be like an eBay for sharing," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, "but the groups are pretty tight -- and only people you'll want to know what you have will know it." Google Mine will be available online and on Android, according to GOS.
