Beating Apple 101

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. ...

GOVERNMENT IT REPORT

Feds Reach for Cloud CRM

"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...

Microsoft's New Strategy Skims the Surface

"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 Revs Up for Super-Fast Hyperloop Transport Reveal

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

Dell vs. Icahn: Ethics, Humanity and Patriotism Matter

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. ...

3D Printing Takes a Shine to Liquid Metal

"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."

Microsoft Attempts Extreme Makeover

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

Our Driverless Car Future: Utopia or Wasteland?

"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...

Garmin Reroutes Smartphone Nav Display to Windshield

"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...

How Self-Driving Cars Could Lead US Citizens to Revolt

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. ...

Europeans Fire Broadsides at Google Over Privacy

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...

If You Search, Advertise on, Invest in, or Have Kids Who Use Google, You Must See This

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. ...

Cease and Desist, California Warns the Bitcoin Foundation

"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...

If Microsoft Built a Car, It Would Be Like a Tesla

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). ...

What's Yours Is Google's Mine?

"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.

Microsoft Woos Hackers with Bounties for Bugs

"It's as much about status as it is anything else," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "People compete to find the most bugs and get recognition." In some cases, finding and reporting bugs can even turn into a job....

Nokia Too Rich for Microsoft's Blood

An acquisition by Huawei -- or any Asian vendor, for that matter -- would likely be disastrous unless the company took a hands-off approach, Rob Enderle, principal of the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times Otherwise, "the cultural differences would be too great for the d...

Ending the US' Cyberwar Against Its Citizens

I'm into fixing problems -- in fact, for much of my life I've been employed as someone who is brought in to fix a difficult problem. I don't see much point in just complaining -- either try to fix it, ignore it, or move someplace where it doesn't affect you. (I'm also planning to move to Belize.) The current problem is that the U.S. appears to be conducting a cyberwar against its citizens. ...

Comcast to Pepper Neighborhoods With WiFi Hotspots

It's especially important for Comcast to foster that loyalty. Demand for wireless access is increasing, and several cable, satellite, wireless and Internet service providers are scrambling to fill that need, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group. "If it works,...

Microsoft's Uncanny Transformation

For much of the last decade, Microsoft has set an example more of doing things wrong than right, but at TechEd last week, Microsoft suddenly was showcasing a number of really smart decisions and best practices. ...
