One of the recurring themes in the technology industry is that very successful companies become arrogant and start taking unnecessary risks or abusing customers -- the two aren't mutually exclusive. That behavior can accomplish what competitors have failed to do: It can kill them. I was in IBM in th...
TiVo was one of the first to enable consumers to time-shift their TV viewing via DVRs, and now the company is targeting place-shifting capabilities as well with out-of-home streaming via the TiVo Roamio Pro and TiVo Roamio Plus DVRs. The two Roamio devices were launched earlier this year, but on Thu...
A Tesla S caught fire last week. I have a lot of experience with cars, with lithium-ion batteries -- and with both cars and batteries catching fire. For a time, I was the lead battery analyst in the U.S., and my house nearly burned down when a lithium-ion battery pack decided to fail while charging...
There's another video game console fight coming, and Microsoft's latest -- the Xbox One -- has a hard act to follow as it joins the fray. The Xbox 360 has been outselling both the Nintendo and Sony consoles for some time now. I'm guessing Microsoft felt it had an unfair advantage, because it apparen...
Sony issued an invite Thursday to an event on Feb. 20 that could give gamers their first glimpse at the PlayStation 4, the company's next-generation console to go head-to-head against Nintendo's Wii U and whatever Microsoft unveils later this year. Sony had previously hinted that it would provide PS...
As I look back on 2012, a number of products stand out as memorable. I figured I'd use my last column of the year to take a moment to recall each one and what made it special. For years I wondered why someone didn't use the technology that was used to cool astronauts and race drivers in consumer clo...
Boxee on Tuesday announced a new device, Boxee TV, which combines live TV, Web apps and a digital video recorder with cloud storage. The box hardware is based on a new chipset from Broadcom and runs software written from scratch for the device. The Boxee Box, which is the predecessor to Boxee TV, wi...
IBM's Sequoia supercomputer headed the latest Top500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers. The twice-yearly roster was released at the 2012 International Supercomputing Conference in Hamburg, Germany, in June. Delivered to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 2011, Sequoia is schedule...
The British Broadcasting Corporation, or BBC, plans to stream the entire Summer Olympics, according to PaidContent.org. The streams will create what the BBC is calling "the first proper digital Olympics." Some of the features, according to Paid Content: "A new video player built for the recently upg...
If there was ever a year for train wrecks, 2011 was it. It is that time when we look back at the screwy decisions executives made last year, and be thankful that we aren't them. There were a number of career-limiting moves last year that warrant a top spot on my Bozo meter. HP and Cisco are contende...
Next year is an election year, and there is no doubt we will have plenty of examples of politicians who should have had their hormones either surgically removed or had someone wiser make their decisions for them. On the other hand, the technology market has certainly had its fill of scandals over th...
This last few weeks has been kind of amazing as I've watched companies like Oracle and Cisco, which are well regarded for brilliant moves, seem to suddenly act as if they were naked and wanted to run with scissors. Then, when I was convinced that I'd seen the worst, Sony decided to piss off the open...
The entire future of a company or industry can hinge on one little deal. The $50,000 IBM paid to license Windows was the foundation for Microsoft and the technology industry for the last couple of decades. Apple's licensing contract with Portal Player to create the iPod was nearly as big -- and ce...
TiVo has unveiled a new DVR that expands on its delivery of Web content while refining its interface for the high-def era. The new Premiere units will record up to 150 hours of high-definition programming, but what's most significant about the boxes is the expanded array of Web content available. Ne...
About 30 years ago, we Earthlings sent a probe to check out Mercury, the tiny planet closest to the sun, and concluded that it was just a big hot rock. But after poking around on the moon and Mars for a few decades, we decided to take another look at Mercury. Messenger, the probe that has now passed...
Yes - I'm more likely to buy with flexible payment options.
Sometimes - It depends on the item and terms.
Rarely - I typically prefer paying upfront to avoid debt.
Not at All - My purchase decisions are based on need and budget.
