"Some of the subscription services, in the way that they allow you to manage large libraries, are a much better experience than if you tried to download and manage the stuff illegally," Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst with the Enderle Group in San Jose, Calif., told the E-Commerce Times...
Two weeks ago CNBC asked me to cover problems that blogs pose for companies. To prepare I read official and unofficial blogs from a number of firms, and I found them fascinating reading. Google employees, for example, seem to be as outspoken about their management's lack of capability as anyone else on the blogs they contribute to ...
"Office has been in pretty good shape for a while now. There is nothing going on with it, other than compatibility work. Office has adjusted its delivery schedule to better match Vista," Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle told TechNewsWorld "People are not going to ge...
Last week, I attended the Dell advisory council meeting and the week before, a similar Hewlett-Packard event. These gave me a chance to look at how both companies are approaching similar problems and to observe that both are demonstrating improving capabilities ...
Microsoft may have no plans to cut the price of its next generation gaming console this year, but it's just a matter of time before the software giant relents, according to Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle "The fact of the matter is that as the game system ages it w...
Last week Hewlett-Packard, which is expected to pass IBM as the largest high-tech company in the world this year, put its new CEO on stage, and much of the behind-the-scenes discussion was on why Mark Hurd has been successful while predecessor Carly Fiorina crashed and burned ...
"Given his stature in the company -- in effect, he was in line to be the CEO one day -- whatever happened must have been significant," Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle told the E-Commerce Times "Anyone can make a mistake, and my sense is, right now, given the Vista ...
"The way to run after Apple is not to compete with them where they're strongest, but where they're weakest, and through something people already use and which could be used for music," Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst with the Enderle Group in San Jose, Calif., told TechNewsWorld. "The most likely device for that is the cell phone."
Last week was a busy one for some big tech players. AOL is funding Netscape again, and strangely enough the company seems to have Slashdot on its mind as it moves to rebuild its portal business ...
While the online services offer potential benefits, they have been slow to take hold. "Initially about 20 to maybe 30 percent of Xbox users signed up for the Microsoft service," said Rob Enderle, president of market research firm Enderle Group. That percentage translated into 2 million users, a solid, but not overwhelming, number...
"This could be a pretty painful update with regard to ActiveX. It does mean going back in making adjustments to code," Rob Enderle, principal at The Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "There has been an increasing resistance to use ActiveX at all because of the exposure, so the update might not be as widespread. It will be painful, though, for those who have to make the adjustment. There is no easy way around it."
Boy, the hits just keep on coming. Last week was no exception, with moves that further put to rest the idea that the tech market is dull and boring ...
"There is always going to be a tension for Microsoft between getting users to stay within the Windows world and having them use other products," Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle told the E-Commerce Times. "They're still figuring out the boundaries of those types of relationships."
As for fulfilling emerging consumer needs, no amount of M&A is likely to address the fact that when it comes to convergence, most companies miss the mark, according to Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst with the Enderle Group in San Jose, Calif "Apple has demonstrate...
One nice thing about this job is that tons of products get sent to me throughout the year. Some of these things are really cool, and some probably aren't worth the postage it took to send them. With college and high school graduation season in full swing and Father's Day on the horizon, I thought I'd share some info on a few technology products that I think might make an ideal gift for that special someone...
"The challenge for Microsoft in releasing test versions of Office and the operating system at the same time is that the teams haven't worked together during beta. I don't know of anyone who has run the two betas on top of each other," Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle told TechNewsWorld. "These products come out of different development groups that have historically have not cooperated well."
Right now, Microsoft customers are concerned about the short term, however. There has been some speculation in the industry that Vista will be delayed again. "The release of beta 2 would indicate that Microsoft is still on target to release Vista during the first quarter of 2007. That's the beta everybody was watching very closely. Everything else is gated on the Vista desktop release," Enderle Group Principal Analyst Rob Enderle told TechNewsWorld...
Last week I was in Dubai and, much like when I went to Beijing to visit Lenovo a few months ago, I was surprised at the incredible progress and Western influence that is currently evident in this region. I'm also forced to compare the advancements there to the lack of progress in the United States. It makes me wonder whether the U.S. will become the new Third World one day if we don't do something dramatic to improve our own competitiveness...

The new features promise to make video gaming more lifelike. "Software companies are now able to develop characters and scenes that will seem more like movies and less like cartoons," noted Rob Enderle, president of market research firm Enderle Group While HD has some potentia...
