IBM just announced SmartCloud Orchestrator -- a massive open source initiative designed to help companies better balance public and private cloud resources and even switch vendors. This is in sharpcontrast to the lock-in strategy that IBM used to found the technology segment -- largely because IBM learned the hard way that lock-in, while tactically sound, is strategically stupid.
"They're attempting to build a massive game that will put the collective minds of thousands on this problem," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "It's a very interesting idea, but I expect they will run into some serious challenges in making it happen with regard to how they parse the data and apply the collective results."
All in all, it was a class act, Rob Enderle, principal with the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "Mason has set the bar of leaving a company elegantly and gracefully very high now. That was incredibly well done." His forced departure is not surprising at all, said End...

"They're chasing the low price point, so, if you want a 7-inch tablet, they'll have the cheapest in the market," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "It's a way to get volume and maybe to get a seat at the table, because right now none of the PC makers is doing well with tablets."
This really has been an entire month of the strange. We had Boeing's Dreamliner sidelined for a problem that used to give laptop makers heartburn -- batteries that catch fire. We had Tesla proposing a test to The New York Times that would make its new Tesla S look bad -- and when it did, we had Tesla's CEO screaming foul on Twitter. ...
"It will have enough power to do so," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group. "They'll just need to create a VM or emulator that will accept the games, and it would be a no-brainer to do that in order to sell more consoles." It is unlikely that Sony will ...
Offering the Chromebook Pixel at a price higher than $1,000 "is like saying a netbook doesn't sell well at $200, so let's try $1,500," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group said. "Even the premium-priced MacBook Air is cheaper." Google did not respond to our requ...
Google' s plan is to get the product in the hands of early adopters and build a test audience. "There are groups of folks who love to be the first to have something, like to brag about it, and become advocates," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group told TechNewsWorld. "They have people paying to be beta testers." ...
In general, if you like Outlook, you will like Outlook.com, Rob Enderle, principal with the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWord. "It is very similar in terms of the layout and the approach." Hanging Onto Hotmail Users...
I watched in horror last week as Tesla's CEO Elon Musk attempted to turn a New York Times reporter into the next Ralph Nader and kill his company. It brought back memories of the ChevroletCorvair that died as a result of GM's decision to fight what turned out to be false allegations instead ofjust making the car better. ...
"It is like video phone mail, but I can't picture anyone who would want to use it," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "The business use isn't there, but it could be something for kids who want to leave messages for parents or a modification of a grandm...
"Sending people on long drives in electric vehicles is just begging for problems, because they just aren't optimized for that kind of driving," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group Elon Comes Out Swinging...
"The products create their own isolated grid network, allowing you to put any sound source into any room or into all rooms at once -- party mode -- using either a dedicated wireless remote or your Apple or Android phone," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group...
I'm not asking the question, "Could Apple follow?" because the amount of cash that would need to be raised would be mind-boggling. Most thought that taking Dell private was impossible, and once you get past "impossible," degree doesn't make that much difference. ...
"The Surface Pro has full-on Windows 8 with all the bells and whistles, but it's still a Surface tablet with an Intel core processor," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld "It's heavier than the RT and the battery life is only 4-5 hours," End...
That emphasis on going as local as possible is what helped Yelp thrive when it launched, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group. Its heavyweight competition, however, is also growing "Going local was really their forte, and being able to offer close-proximity inf...
"I think what's happening is the president's setting up to move unilaterally in case he sees a pending threat," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "In a cyberthreat, the nature of the attack is it will happen when you see it, and he wants to be able to shut down the attacking nation, which would involve a preemptive strike. Given the case that governments are likely to be involved in these attacks, it's likely our government is looking at cyberdetente."
"HP had their own OS when they bought Palm, so why didn't they do something with webOS?" asked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "It seems kind of silly to go with an inferior OS. Free is great, but they already had one they paid for, so the move seems kind of foolish."
What folks who haven't read any of the early Steve Jobs biographies don't know is that Steve Jobs -- atleast, the way he was seen in public -- wasn't any more real than Ronald McDonald. ...
