It was an interesting week last week, made even more interesting by a bunch of news services calling our U.S. president-elect either the new Hitler or a Marxist, suggesting these folks got some really bad eggnog. This should be filed under NOT HELPING. While tempted, I'll avoid further mentioning that insanity in the hope they sober up and instead focus on some interesting tech moves...
"With DHL pulling out of the market, I would think the remaining shippers would be focused like lasers on customer satisfaction and, for the most part, they are," Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group, told CRM Buyer "But ... the individual shipper can get lost...
"Many have tried to guilt Steve Jobs into being a philanthropist, but he just won't go," Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "[He's] not that kind of person, really," he remarked "If he is doing any charitable work, he and Apple ar...
"In some ways, we are more connected than ever before, and instead of spending our time in front of a TV being fed information we are feeding that information to ourselves," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group Internet users leverage the Internet to take c...
Over the last several days I've attended two conferences that are focused on predicting and changing the future of technology and technology companies. The first was put on by Digital River, a firm that specializes in setting up or improving profitable online stores like Apple and Dell have, and we were focused on strategies for increasing company revenues and profits in these troubling times.
"If you look at the initial Wii products, most of them don't give you a good workout. They get you up out of the chair and moving around, but they don't give you a good workout. There is still a significant opportunity to create a line of offerings that are both fun and really do give you a good workout -- something that most folks who bought the Wii were expecting," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld...
Loyalty Lab's partnership with Virgin America is particularly shrewd, observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group "The large airlines are faced with the need to reduce their costs and have been targeting customer loyalty problems as a way to do that," Enderl...
I am breathing a long sigh of relief this week now that the election is over and it appears, for once, the most qualified candidate actually got the job. This seems to rarely happen, and my only remaining hope is Apple gets a clue from McCain's loss and switches off the negative advertising and instead works on improving its own products ...
It may prove to be a Herculean task for some companies to institute XBRL as the standard in financial communications -- but the change ultimately will be positive, according to Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group "The goal here is to make it easier for inves...
In the current US election, I would argue the winner actually will benefit from the excessive negative campaigning done by his opponent, who sacrificed trust and in many cases implied the U.S. voter was too stupid to go to the Web and look things up ...
"The more places people can consume Netflix content, the larger their potential market, so they are likely to do as many deals like this as they can. Think of this as you would mailboxes -- the more people that have them, the more people are potential Netflix clients," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times...
I can remember the day, way back, when the U.S. was the most important market in the world and companies from all over fought to build a presence and establish themselves here. Our politicians have creatively fixed that advantage, and now China is the place to be. According to projections, the Chinese market will eclipse the U.S. and the European markets combined by 2015 -- and that has a lot of folks fighting to become the major technology player in that future China...
I was tempted to pick FUD as a topic and talk about how McCain's use of it killed his campaign. However, last week we had two major launches, one of which was Apple releasing its latest notebooks and embracing graphics as a defining feature but avoiding Blu-ray and HDMI ...
Crisis breeds change, and given people don't like change, this can result in market shifts in months that otherwise might have taken years. This week, three things happened that I can tie back into this theme. AMD, driven by crisis, provided a strong example of how the U.S. could address its financial crisis by changing what was a going-out-of-business disadvantage into a potential competitive advantage.
"In the current generation, the Wii is easily the winner in terms of console sales, though the Xbox still leads in secondary attached revenue," Rob Enderle, principal analyst the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times Hit Parade...
It's an interesting way for Microsoft to expand its community and create greater system loyalty, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group Gamers may see this as an added value, he said. "PCs have typically been better at this kind of thing, though, so it will b...
There are some potential legal ramifications to storing data online, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group "Music is always iffy, particularly if the site allows sharing, because it violates licenses," Enderle told TechNewsWorld. "Most photo sites allow sh...
After watching the first presidential debate, one person on that stage clearly showcased the leadership, focus and bipartisan attitude the U.S. needs to turn itself around. Unfortunately, Jim Lehrer isn't actually running, so it didn't help my own decision process much, and I remain decisively undecided at the moment. In watching the bailout last week, it became clear that tech is clearly at risk, and I was struck by the reality that were the U.S. a company, the CEO, CFO and chairman of the board (Speaker of the House) would likely have all been, and should have been, fired.
"They rethought the system and took it back to more of what the original Atari focused on -- games that are shared or play well in living rooms rather than bedrooms," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times "The original name for the Wii ...
"You need to have incentives or disparage the existing offering to get people to move," Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "But you have to have something the people that move see as better so you hold them," he continued. "Otherwise, they just rotate back."
