I joined a bunch of analysts in discussing Hewlett Packard Enterprise's next move at a secret conclave last week. The company had just announced the sale of its IT services, which basically undid much of Mark Hurd's work as CEO. (It already had sold off PCs and printers, more than undoing Carly Fiorina's earlier efforts.) Granted, HPE spun it like it was an acquisition (I'll get to that later) but this move leaves the firm even more crippled, suggesting there's more to come. ...
Facebook is in a very difficult situation because members always will see it as tainted, and if it tries to correct the problem, members from the left will accuse it of overcorrecting, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "Honestly, I don't see an easy way ...
"I think the issue is Google isn't trusted itself and has a horrid history of losing interest in initiatives once they're launched," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "The potential for aggravation with both the customer and the financial instituti...
Apple is "moving from a maximized retail layout similar to a jewelry store, with high revenue per square foot, to more of a place to hang out, with low revenue per square foot, like a Barnes & Noble," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "This is somewh...
Leagues have to strike the perfect balance between challenging competitors and making it fun to watch, noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. Robot combat has struggled to sustain support on a national level, despite its being made "fun to compete in," he ...
Moore's law focuses on transistor density and "tends to be tied to parts that are targeted at calculation speed," pointed out Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. The TPU "is more focused on calculation efficiency, so it likely won't push transistor density. I don't expect it to have any real impact on Moore's law."
As a concept technology it sounds much like "people flypaper," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "The concept is a good one. When a person is hit, if you can keep them on the car the damage is limited to the initial contact -- but if you don't, the perso...
Since NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden's revelations about the agency's spying activities, "U.S. products are assumed to be compromised much like Chinese products were before that," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group The NSA's and FBI's insistence on inc...
BitTorrent Live could have a significant impact on the streaming scene, noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "They're reporting latency far below where you would typically see it for a multicast." "If this works the way they say it works, this would be in...
By not counting photos and links, Twitter will make it less cumbersome for users to post photos with their tweets, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. The tools used to shorten links often break anyway, creating more difficulty in generating traffic "Remo...
The phones are "affordable, good looking and provide a lot of value for the dollar," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, but "you can't actually buy them here yet." That could cost Motorola some ground, because competitors "could slip underneath this with...
Even if Facebook absolutely was unbiased, "folks who disagree with something on, or left off, of Facebook would conclude it's biased," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group Arguing that Facebook is a business and therefore can't afford to antagonize governme...
Older people are more likely to refrain from going online, as they "tend to be far more concerned with this kind of thing than younger users," observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group That said, "one large breach might scare a massive number of people off t...
Smartphones appear to be losing their luster, and the king of smartphones -- Apple -- clearly is not having a good year. Suddenly, I'm hearing that there is an upswing in flip phones, making this feel a bit like a Game of Thrones episode, when a believed-dead king returns to seize the throne by surprise. (We are still talking small numbers, so you Apple folks don't have to jump out of windows yet.) ...
Although the rumor seems credible, it's not likely that Google is going to raise the bar with the introduction of an Echo competitor, maintained Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "They really haven't been all that successful with new products, so I doubt [Ama...
Microsoft's Edge browser might seem to be the appropriate target since it's integrated into Windows 10, but "Chrome, as a non-OS-supplied browser, like Opera, is the natural target," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group Chrome "is far easier to displace, li...
"Speech doesn't scale well," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "It works fine if you're sitting in an office by yourself -- but imagine a bunch of people in cubicles all trying to use speech at once," he told TechNewsWorld....
"But they weren't invited to happy hour! How humiliating," Al Le commented."There are analogs at other businesses where there can be an excessive use of temp workers to fill roles critical to a project with skills undervalued by the executive management of the firm," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group...
"The carriers are saying that maintaining a base of unique software features is more important than the consumer's safety and security," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group "This shouldn't be an either/or problem, but since they make it that, safety and se...
Interacting with IBM's quantum system "should be far cheaper and easier than having to buy and provision your own hardware, with far less risk of obsolescence," noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group In the Driver's Seat...
