Will Facebook Jump the Shark by Leaping Into Handsets?

If Facebook does intend on introducing a smarphone, it will be a bigger mistake than Microsoft launching the Zune, contended Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst with the Enderle Group. "Facebook is repeating the mistakes that other people have made," he told TechNews...

Penguin Plays Security Card With E-Book Lending Pullout

"I think this is a revenue issue," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "Book sellers have never really liked the idea of libraries because for every book that is lent out, they lose a potential customer," said Enderle. "At least the library purchased the books that were lent out, and the library wasn't capable of lending out the same book to more than one person at a time. That limited the risk."

Life in a Post-Siri World

The current generation of smartphones is a bit of a kludge. They require a lot of text entry, but most don't have keyboards. As a result, they generally suck at it. Siri, Apple's new voice-command technology, points the way to a future that is more like the past, where phones are good at what phones have always been good at -- voice -- and typing may become, at least on smartphones, a thing of the past. ...

Hackers Turn Up Heat on Steam Gaming Platform

Step Aside, Tablets – the Ultrabooks Are Coming

The industry joke on the early MacBook Airs was that even though they had decent Intel processors, they stepped down in performance in order to keep from burning up. What was kind of funny was that Lenovo, which had a similar product in market with a slower processor but running at full speed (so it was actually faster), got dinged -- and Apple didn't. However, most folks I knew who had one of these early Airs quickly tired of their slow speed and blazing hot bottoms, and moved to other products -- mostly MacBook Pros. ...

Which Tech Giant Will Own the Future?

I ran into a new forward-looking video from Microsoft last week that showcases a number of Microsoft technologies as they might be used a decade from now. Intel produced a video a few years ago, equally compelling, showcasing a future based on its technology; unfortunately, it hasn't been able to demonstrate a single design win yet that indicates it is on that path. This got me thinking of a Philips video (unfortunately I don't have a link) in the 1990s that basically predicted the iPhone -- a device it never actually made. ...
