"This is a nice update for the Nook Color," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told TechNewsWorld. "It's got lots of new multimedia features, all of which are centered around the device's core functionality and raison d'etre: reading. The new Nook Friends, a social application designed to facilitate purchasing, sharing and recommending books, is a neat application for bibliophiles -- it provides them with a forum to exchange reviews, experiences and ideas about new publications, while fostering and furthering social networking. And with a 7-inch display and a price tag of $249 it provides lots of technology at an affordable price tag."
Natty Narwhal has a particularly rich feature set, Laura DiDio, principal with ITIC, told LinuxInsider. For instance, users can test features with this version before deploying them. "For the diehard open source fans this is a great release," she said, but for companies wave...
Don't look now, but Microsoft's Windows Server 2008 R2 tied with IBM's perennially bullet-proof AIX v7. Both were rated by corporate users as the most secure among 18 major server operating system distributions ...
"It's a nuisance suit if you're Mark Zuckerberg," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "He has a bull's-eye on his forehead. Everybody wants a piece of him. If you're Mark Zuckerberg and you become wildly successful, you get aimed at. It's like he has sounded a giant tallyho for everyone to come."
"Is there anything Google is not doing?" asked Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC. "Is there any industry they're not trying to enter? They're not adding 10,000 jobs for nothing. Good for them. When you do all this, at what point do you reach saturation? They're not near it yet. They're obviously a company that's on the move. They don't stand still for a moment. In this market you can't stand still."
"This is the latest in a long line of mergers and acquisitions in the intensely competitive cloud computing and social media markets," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told CRM Buyer. "These arenas share two things: a very fast rate of change -- in terms of new product...
"Google sought to be the commercial' repository and disseminator of all text-based writings without regard for commercial, academic or scientific copyrights on just about everything that has ever been written since the papyrus, charcoal and The Rosetta Stone," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "So I think Judge Chin made an excellent decision."
"I give them a lot of credit," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "My first reaction is Blockbuster must be kicking themselves repeatedly. They had a chance to buy Netflix. This is a very prescient move. There are so many outlets and so many different devices to view data, download data, why shouldn't they look at it?"...
It's thinner. It's faster. It's here. It's... sold out ...
"It's a world gone mad," Laura DiDio, principal at ITIC, told TechNewsWorld. "I don't know how Best Buy can charge more for that phone," she added HTC's suggested retail price for the phone is $299, Haydock countered....
"It's hard to say which of these rumors may come to fruition," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "A cynical person might say Twitter is floating many of the rumors itself in order to stir up interest. It's pretty clear, though, that Twitter wants to expand. So yes, they're shopping themselves around."
"It will absolutely escalate the rivalry between Google and Microsoft Office," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "On the surface, Google is trying to make Google Cloud Connect look like a beneficent product to help customers sync their documents and improve Office 2003, 2007 and 2010. You have simultaneous collaboration, revision history, cloud sync, all those great things. But what they're really doing is creating a bridge and opening a door for people to use Google Cloud Connect and potentially abandon Microsoft Office for Google Docs."
"This year there's real heightened aggression and white-hot competition among these companies, but I don't think there's going to be just any one battleground between them," Laura DiDio, principal at ITIC, told LinuxInsider. "I think it's going to one of the battlegrounds." Ho...
"If you're trying to differentiate yourself from the increasing number of vendors flocking to the tablet segment, you have to do something different," Laura DiDio, principal at ITIC, told TechNewsWorld "LG has a big stake in the home entertainment business, they're on a roll w...
"This was almost as inevitable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "They're not doing this just to have people play 'FarmVille.' The thing about Facebook is this is coming just at the time we heard Twitter's advertising could go over a $100 million this year, which is three times what it was last year. If Twitter is doing it, Google is doing it, and Yahoo is doing it, it's inevitable that Facebook is going to do it. Zuckerberg is not going to be outflanked by the other wunderkinds."
"Even if the government pledges to limit what data it'll collect, there are always rogue people within these organizations who will break the rules," Laura DiDio, principal at ITIC, told TechNewsWorld Further, the restrictions on collecting data or monitoring members of the pu...
It would be very surprising if it weren't, Laura DiDio, principal of ITIC, told LinuxInsider. "I really do believe you can take Microsoft's statement at face value -- there is just too much at stake in terms of patent infringement suits for these companies." Buying intellectu...
"First of all, even after a firing or resignation at that level, AMD will continue," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "This company is well over 40 years old. It wasn't a scandal. It was politically motivated." The chip market is extremely co...
"What it means, bottom line, is more accountability -- more accountability to its investors, more accountability to its customers and to Wall Street, including the financial analysts," Laura DiDio, principal analyst at ITIC, told the E-Commerce Times. "One of the reasons a co...
Perhaps Nintendo acted after getting user complaints, Laura DiDio, principal at ITIC, speculated "3D hasn't been around long enough for us to really assess its impact, so people are just beginning to find out the problems it might cause," DiDio told TechNewsWorld....
