Let's be frank: The main reason Oracle's latest quarterly revenues nosedived was backlash from users fed up with two years of price hikes on products, technical support, maintenance and licensing contracts -- and not because of a correction in the overall server hardware market ...
Google's reputation would take a serious hit if Firefox's demise were laid at its feet, Laura DiDio, principal of ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "It certainly doesn't want to be in the same position that Microsoft was in when it was deemed to have quashed Netscape," she sa...
"The end of the digital divide is already happening," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told TechNewsWorld. "Places like Africa, which has the least amount of infrastructure, are experiencing a revolution in the way they do business." We will never see the complete ...
"It looks like the deal is dead," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "From what AT&T said, they were looking at finding a way to restructure the deal to make it palatable to the government, but I don't think that is possible." AT&T original...

"This ruling is very important for Samsung, especially during the Christmas season," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "I'm sure they're singing 'Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells.'" Once the holiday joy subsides, the patent war will likely contin...
In many ways Google has been playing catch-up since it launched its Business Apps, Laura DiDio, principal with ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times "Google Apps is only four years old, and its initial target audience was small businesses, which didn't have the expertise to handle t...
"They have most of the bases covered. That includes weather, business news, the stock market, travel and restaurants," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told TechNewsWorld. "That said, they are in such a tight race now with the Barnes & Noble Nook and with Apple, that having the basics covered will last for only a couple months. Then they you have to keep doing something extra to differentiate."
"I think it's a good idea, a good differentiator, a good go-to-market," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "The publishing industry is going through a revolution. If you're Amazon and you look around, you have to run hard to stay abreast and stay ahead of your competitors. This move shows that Jeff Bezos is not going to be left behind."
"It had to happen and it's a good time," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "The calendar's fourth quarter is a perfect time, right before the holiday season." Groupon could still have a rough time, though, since Wall Street likes to trash its c...
If there were ever a tablet that built to take on the iPad, the Xoom Family comes close, Laura DiDio, principal of ITIC, told TechNewsWorld. "The Xoom Family has a lot to recommend it, and Motorola Mobility is a proven brand. The specs are wonderful -- dual-core processor, Android 3.1, a 10.1-inch HD screen -- and comparable with the iPad." ...
"This couldn't have come at a worse time for RIM," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "They're fighting an uphill battle against the iPhone, Android and Windows Phone 7." The outages will be more than a little annoying to RIM's customers.
"Welcome to the wonderful world of smartphone competition," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "There are no rules. This is a bare-knuckles, all out barroom brawl." At this point, Apple has the upper hand in its longstanding disputes with Samsun...
It would seem to be an astounding success story for a browser that burst onto the market a few short years ago -- but it's less surprising considering that Chrome is Google's creation, according to Laura DiDio, principal of ITIC. "Why has Chrome caught up so quickly to Firef...
"One tends to be cynical when dealing with Mark Zuckerberg," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told TechNewsWorld. "He started Facebook seven years ago and aced out all of his buddies. One has to wonder how he could be that smart and that dumb at the same time. In general, it's good if Congress starts getting behind these things and trying to regulate them."
"This actually seems like it's targeted toward tweens," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told TechNewsWorld "A lot of the 15-year-olds and up may not think this is that cool. The 10-to-14 age girls will petition Mommy and Daddy to 'Buy it for me, buy it for me, buy it f...
"They're doing this because they want to go against Google," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "This is another example of how Microsoft got its groove back. If you're Microsoft or AOL or Yahoo, you have to do something. In the search engine space, separately these are smaller animals at the watering hole. So they have to get together to have any force in the market. If you put the three of them together, maybe you have 25 percent marketshare. That's better if you're going up against Google with its 65 percent marketshare."
"Microsoft has been imitating Apple for a long time, and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," Laura DiDio, principal at ITIC, told TechNewsWorld However, Redmond has come up with a few winkles of its own for Windows 8....
"They have Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and parts of General Motors, and now AT&T. It's tantamount to the government buying AT&T," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "We keep seeing big government getting bigger and bigger," she complained. "This...
