I've been watching the battle for the White House with some trepidation, largely because I believe that given how dysfunctional Congress is, even a god would be ineffective as president. ...

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. "In this program, you are more likely to use more of the data you are paying for without going into overage charges."

"This is a bad time to have regulators looking at you more closely because you're trying to get products out the door," Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst for the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times ...

Another trend, but one that may be harder to counteract, is that trust and interest in traditional news sources is at an all time low, Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group told the E-Commerce Times. "Unless they can put up a defense, it is likely users will bypass them and go to...

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. "If true, this would be a textbook illegal anticompetition move designed to protect the relative monopolies the cable companies have in existing markets."

"For the few folks that have and are still using, Chromebooks, these improvements will be well-received," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "For the other 99.9 percent of PC and tablet users, this is just noise." Usage numbers for Chromeb...

"The part the courts have prevented is broadcasting outside of the intended area," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst for the Enderle Group. "The phones basically become mini-TVs -- it is rebroadcast. But then if you think about it, so is home distribution, and that is allow...

"The problems with RIM starts with their board," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "If the board fundamentally doesn't either see the need for, or understand how to do, a turnaround, RIM won't be successful, and its board has not made the moves consistent with a successful effort. RIM is recoverable, but there is no trend we can point to yet that suggests recovery is in its future."

Although 84 percent of the supercomputers on the Top500 list use the less power-hungry and lower-cost Intel and AMD Opteron processors, IBM's using the PowerPC because "this is the technology IBM owns and knows the most about so this is what they will be most competitive with," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld...

That goal is reachable, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told LinuxInsider. "Apple did this in about the same length of time, and they started behind where Jolla is," he pointed out. "Apple had to overcome physical limitations with the first iPhone, and Jolla no longer has to do that. Off-the-shelf technology has improved massively since the iPhone was launched."

"The only real reason to create legs that are human-like is to create either artificial limbs that looked real or simulate humans, which could range from robots that better operated machines that were made for humans or because they needed human-looking surrogates," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "The two groups aren't mutually exclusive, and emulation would serve both purposes."

The last time we had a major "social networking" type of effort it was with collaboration, and theposter child for the effort was Lotus Notes. It largely failed -- not because the idea wasn't a good one,but because the company fundamentally didn't understand that the market was being made hostile tothe concept. ...

"Amazon doesn't use generic Android," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst of Enderle Group. "Their software group is mostly old disenchanted Microsoft guys who used to run and work on Windows," he pointed out. "They take Android as a starting point and turn it into what they ...

"Amazon and eBay have increasingly started to bump heads, and eBay started to move into retail promotion last year with an online service that could point to stock, specials and the like," Rob Enderle, principal of the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times Amazon's purcha...
