Is Icahn Attempting a Hostile Takeover of HP? Figuring Out the Backstory

 January 27, 2020

When it comes to any merger, you often can't trust the reason the firms are merging, particularly if financial rather than operational managers are driving the process. When it comes to hostile takeovers, you can bet you are being misled, because the rhetoric will address synergy and the power of the two firms together, but the folks driving the effor...

Why Large Companies Can’t Innovate

October 24, 2016

One of the things that has made Dell World very different is that at the end, one or more controversial speakers take the stage and provide an incredible amount of insight for the folks who haven't left early. All three of the last three speakers were fascinating, but it wasn't until I wove all thre...

Nvidia ECS: Where Real Innovation AND Execution Are on Display

March 17, 2014

One of the questions I've been getting regularly, both because little companies like WhatsApp are in the news and because large firms are struggling to find early stage innovative firms, is "Where do you go to see a lot of small innovative companies?"

Apple, Microsoft and the Innovation Delusion

November 25, 2013

I got a note from a guy a few days ago who said he had an idea that would transform Microsoft, and he wanted me to introduce him to Bill Gates. I don't do that, but it got me thinking. Given that both Apple and Microsoft are based on ideas that came from outside, there is irony in the fact that both...

Pie Control Pro Is a GUI Delight

March 22, 2013

The early-90s Windows 3.11 operating system offered a graphical user interface that was a breakthrough for me. It was, in fact, my first GUI. I'd been using command-line, error-prone MS-DOS for two or three years before that, and it was a delight to suddenly be able to maximize screens, switch progr...

Linus, GNOME 3, and Much Ado About Desktop Interfaces

June 14, 2012

If ever there was a week to make a person believe in the cosmic forces of fate, this might be it.
