"Hackers are often patriotic and many, particularly at DEFCON, think of themselves as the good guys," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "Calling on them for help both showcases the reality that the problems can't be handled by government alone and appeals to both attributes to garner assistance."

The details of the recent Colorado massacre are bothering me this week. What bothers me the most isthat both political parties seem to take an event like this and use it to further an agenda. Theright wants everyone to get armed, and the left wants to take guns away from law-abiding citizens. ...

"Set-top boxes have started to heat up -- largely because the numbers of old Apple TV are pretty good and Apple's rumored to be entering a better product," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.

"Certainly, this will eventually be resolved -- likely by both sides eventually figuring out that international litigation is a huge drain on attention and cash, only serving to benefit the competitors of both companies," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst of the Enderle Group. "Eventually, they'll have to come to the table and cross-license. It just often takes a long while for both sides to reach a point where they realize they are looking ridiculous and are wasting tons of time and money." ...

"The Kindle Fire made 7-inch acceptable as a product, and this all came together with the Nexus 7-inch," Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld "Now we'll see if it can hold on against both the powerful Amazon Kindle 2 line of five new prod...

The elimination of Grum "doesn't mean the technology won't be reused someplace else or that a variant will show up later," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "I'd bet that it or something like it will be back shortly, if it's not already back."

"Facebook's valuation was based on a 20 percent growth rate extended over a period of five to 10 years," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst of the Enderle Group. "If growth stalls, then their valuation drops precipitously. In effect, the house of cards collapses, with dire results for investors -- who likely aren't that happy with the company at the moment anyway, given post-IPO performance." ...

"This is likely still better than having three devices each with their own data plan, assuming the user is buying over entry levels, because in that case, one of the devices could exceed its plan in any given month while the others [under-consume], and there is no way to share the data," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times.

I was doing background on a recent piece on Forced Employee Ranking, a process that ensuresincompetence in companies, and found that it was sourced, as a failure, to Jack Welch -- the guy credited with turning around GE. I began to wonder if much of what he was credited with actually created whatnow appears to be a cancer in that company, and in Microsoft, and that the reason folks haven't been able to fix it is because it came from such a well-regarded expert. But given how widespread this practice is, and how stupid and suicidal it has become, I now wonder if Jack should be credited with crippling the U.S. -- and I'll bet his practices weren't limited to these shores.

"The back story here isn't concern that Verizon will drop FiOS, but that this deal with cable companies contains within it an agreement not to compete with FiOS with these cable companies as part of a FiOS market expansion," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst for the Enderle Group.
