"The 2012 election will offer multiple opportunities to parse what, if any, unique insight Twitter can provide compared to traditional polling sources," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, told TechNewsWorld. "Closely tracking narrowly focused groups of voters is of limited value."
"I think Microsoft's further leveraging a known and respected brand, Outlook, rather than attempting to resuscitate Hotmail, which has been thoroughly sullied," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, told TechNewsWorld.

"The fact is that many -- if not most -- cloud service providers do not offer deep insight into the cloud infrastructures they utilize," Charles King, principal analyst of Pund-IT, told TechNewsWorld. "In worst case scenarios, like the outage of Amazon's ECS in June, which impacted Netflix, Pinterest, Instagram and other Web services, companies may not have realized they were dependent on ECS until their businesses went offline."
The messaging in VMware's announcement of its planned acquisition of Niciraoffers insight into both the company's view of the deal and the current state of cloudcomputing.

"If a rule is entirely voluntary, it is essentially unenforceable, so the reasoning behind the rule is largely self-serving," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-It, pointed out. "That said, it also seems like a reasonable enough approach to deal with increasingly uncivil commentators." ...
"The ongoing battles between Apple and Samsung offer testimony to three points," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-It. "First, the generally confusing state of intellectual property and patent law in the IT industry; second, confusion in the interpretation of those issues in various countries and global regions; and third, the degree to which fierce competition between two tech behemoths can turn these contentions into a confusing series of global smack-downs."
"Multiple SKUs aren't bad by themselves so long as they address veryspecific market dynamics or customer requirements," said Charles King,principal analyst at Pund-IT. "For example, the difference between aWiFi-only Kindle Fire and one which also supports 3G/4G ties intopoten...
"Facebook offers a classic, if extreme, example of what legendary investor Graham called the 'MisterMarket' dynamic -- where the market tends to react extremely, both positively and negatively -- no matter what happens, " Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-It. King told the E-Commerce Times.
"The potential risks involved in terms of wear and tear, possible damage and liability would outweigh the benefits to me," technology analyst Charles King told TechNewsWorld ...
Overall, the deal between Intel and ASML is pretty straightforward: Intel agreed to commit about US$1.0B to ASML R&D programs to accelerate deployment of new technologies for 450mm microprocessor wafers and extreme ultraviolet lithography(EUVL) by as much as two years. ...
"The dissolution reflects how fundamental changes in online news have led to the partnership becoming increasingly irrelevant to both Microsoft and NBC," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT. "When the deal was forged in 1996, it made sense for the companies to wor...

"In general, the gaming market tends to be highly changeable, according to which games are rising/falling in popularity," said Charles King, principal analyst for Pund-IT. "But those vicissitudes are felt more acutely by game developers than they are by distributors." Develop...
"Assuming the rumors are true, the new quad-core processor, the camera, the 2GB of RAM and the unbreakable plane display are substantial advancements from past design points," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, told TechNewsWorld Samsung didn't offer any clarification...
Dell's announcement of its planned Quest Software acquisition seemed more inevitable than surprising. Quest had been in play since March, when it said investment firm Insight Venture Partners offered US$23 per share (or about $2 billion) for the company. ...
"I wouldn't think it would be hugely different if the purpose is to disseminate spam or launch a DoS attack," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-It, told LinuxInsider. "The main thing would be to keep the malicious code lightweight enough that it wouldn't impact the system too severely -- and thus alert the user that something hinky is going on."
"I think the design and profile of this event -- meaning everything from its splashy theatricality to the 'wow" factor of the Nexus 7 to the developer-centric elements of the Nexus Q -- suggests that Google has taken several major steps forward in messaging maturity," said Charles King, principal analyst for Pund-It.
"The Nexus Q seems to be more deeply integrated with associated Android-based devices than any similar products," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, told TechNewsWorld. "That could change if, as has been rumored, Apple integrates its upcoming Apple TV product with the iPhone or iPad." Meanwhile, Microsoft "also seems to be planning on integrating some Zune and Xbox features with its new Surface tablets."
