When testing a new operating system from Microsoft, finding the right hardware is often the biggest problem. Many of the negative reviews of Windows 8, including my own, are tied to the hardware that just wasn’t designed for it. I was at Microsoft’s TechEd last week, and after hearing pr...
Any vendor can be beaten, and Apple was beaten badly in the years between Steve Jobs' termination at the company and his triumphant return. On the other hand, Apple continues to execute very well, even though Cook is making what appear to be critical early mistakes in terms of priorities. The compan...
Last week was rather quiet except for the increasing drama surrounding Facebook and what was to be their $100B IPO. It could still be, but thanks to its young, inexperienced, and clearly still-maturing CEO, it found itself digging out of an avoidable hole. Its experienced executive team was by all r...
Microsoft inched further toward the tablet world Tuesday by revealing a slew of new details about its upcoming Windows 8 operating system at its Build developers conference, being held in Anaheim, Calif., through Friday. Windows Division President Steven Sinofsky headlined the presentation, which de...
There is this debate going on in the analyst community with most arguing that the tablet market is like the PC market was, and Apple will once again be overwhelmed -- in this case largely by Google and Android. But a few of us, mostly me, are arguing that it is behaving much more like the iPod mark...
I've been watching some of the drama surrounding Donald Trump, the concerns surrounding the air traffic controllers, the close call with the first lady, tourists being shot in Florida, U.S. citizens being shot off their jet skis, the inability to control spending -- and the "Shrek" version of "I nee...
Succeeding with social media marketing was one of the keynote topics at the Web 2.0 conference Thursday. Others involved tips on going mobile, while some touched on the subject of design, which seems to be gaining new importance, judging from the number of keynotes focusing on that topic at the conf...
Cloud computing, mobile computing and social networking are reshaping the face of the information security industry, Sarah Friar, managing director at Goldman Sachs, said Wednesday. "I believe the cloud shift we're seeing is similar to what we saw in the shift from mainframe to client/server," Friar...
Last week, I tried to come up with some epic things I would like to think I'd do were I given six weeks to live -- a rumor that's been floating around about Steve Jobs -- and was as insanely wealthy as he is. The purpose was to focus on something other than the end we will all eventually share. On...
The announcement that Google Cofounder Larry Page will become the company's CEO is a very big deal -- and not just for Google. With Mark Zuckerberg firmly ensconced in the top spot at Facebook, and Page set to take the reins at Google in April, the two most influential companies in the tech industry...
Johns Hopkins University scientists have deciphered the genetic code for a rare type of pancreatic cancer -- neuroendocrine or islet cell tumor -- that Apple CEO Steve Jobs told the world he'd been diagnosed with back in 2004. The discovery explains many of the cancer's troubling, highly variable pr...
"Avatar" movie director James Cameron couldn't have scripted a better keynote speech for Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who announced at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas Wednesday that Kinect and Xbox will connect with consumers via avatars, transporting Xbox Live Gold subscribers into the c...
Microsoft will take yet another stab at the iPad's supremacy by demoing Windows 7 tablets at CES 2011, according to the New York Times. Microsoft chairman and CEO Steve Ballmer will reportedly showcase devices from Samsung and Dell as well as other manufacturers at the show. Apparently Microsoft's e...
Today Microsoft launches Windows Phone 7, and I've been thinking about this phone a lot over the last month. The closest metaphor to what makes this phone different from others is Superman. This isn't because when Superman launched, this hero was the underdog but rose to be the most powerful, in te...
Planet Gliese 581g, the so-called Goldilocks planet whose discovery was announced earlier this week, may help prove Earth is not the only habitable planet in the universe. One reason for that is because it was so readily discovered -- scientists found it after looking at only nine nearby stars. "Pla...
Computer users today face a new round of attacks that pose new challenges to both consumers and businesses. These new attack vectors often sidestep traditional security defenses. Hackers, supported by international crime gangs with deep pockets, are accosting consumers and office workers with sophis...
I spent last week on Mark Hurd's firing, er involuntary resignation, and watched the backstory develop, and it isn't pretty. Hurd was likely the third-hardest guy to fire in Silicon Valley behind Steve Jobs and Larry Ellison -- and yet, at least initially, he seemed to be fired as a result of a fals...
Apple seems to have suddenly become the "Litigation 'R' Us" company and every time I've seen this happen, it has ended badly. I was at EMC last week and really got to think about its Acadia effort. I think it has the potential to obsolete more traditional umbrella corporate models like those that HP...
For a second, I thought the Radio Shack ad in my Gmail inbox was trying to sell me a new netbook or a previously unreported competitor to Apple's forthcoming iPad. Then I took the time to read all the ad copy: "Watch. Read. Surf. Play on the Biggest Touchscreen Smartphone Around." Ah. That would be ...
Last week I was asked to comment on a study of CEOs. It found that young ones do better than old ones do, which kind of pissed me off. At the same time, like a lot of folks in my business, I've been looking back at the lessons learned from Steve Jobs, who is kind of the CEO gold standard, and compa...
