Yahoo Serves Mojito to Liven Up the Mobile Web Party

Mojito is "optimized for content publishers, which is what Yahoo is, and switches dynamically between hosting and client execution depending on bandwidth and client power," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, said.

OPINION

An Analyst’s Ad Hominem Hell

I clearly hit a nerve last week when I comparedMeg Whitman's moves at HP to Tim Cook's at Apple. I do sincerely think Tim Cook was set up to fail. Steve Jobs didn't hire Cook to replace him -- he hired him to do the jobs he didn't want to do. This is why a lot of great companies slide. The existing CEOs see replacement candidates as rivals, so they make sure they don't have the skills or otherwise can't do the CEO's job. ...

Microsoft, Google Race to Speed Up the Web

"At this early stage, neither [proposal] is complete, and the battle is typically one of influence rather than technical competence," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld However, "every part of the Microsoft proposal looks friendlier," Ender...

PlayStation 4 to Sport Big Graphics Muscle

LulzSec Rears Its Smirking Head in Military Dating Site Attack

The arrest of several people suspected to be members of Anonymous or LulzSec doesn't prove anything, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld "Given LulzSec was an amorphous organization like Anonymous, assuming that all its members were arrested...

Meg Whitman vs. Tim Cook by the Numbers

Last week was an interesting week. Apple announced what appears to be a penis iron in the new iPad, and folks are burning through their monthly 4G data plans in a few hours. Tim's having his first Antennagate moment, and Steve Jobs he isn't. ...

Windows 8 and the Perception Game

Windows 8 is likely the most ambitious UI project for Microsoft since Microsoft Bob, and we all know how that ended up. What was kind of sad about Microsoft Bob was that for what it was intended to do, it was both cutting-edge and very successful. However, because it was positioned as the follow-on to Windows, the bar was set too high and the product failed spectacularly. ...

Apple Forgets Steve Jobs and Announces a Non-Magical iPad

Over the years, I've watched company after company lose its invaluable edge because executives critical to its success moved on, or died, and didn't pass on critical skills. Only IBM really made a massive effort not to screw this up, and even it eventually forgot, forcing a massive reset -- which almost caused it to fail -- in the late 1980s and early 1990s. ...

OMG, Apple and Microsoft Have Traded Places

If you think about it, Apple and Microsoft have kind of switched places with their recent operating system refreshes. Microsoft, which is dominant with PCs but anything but on tablets and smartphones, is leveraging its smartphone platform heavily to create a new PC product. Apple, which is a small player with PCs but massively dominant with smartphones and tablets, is keeping the two technologies at arm's length. Microsoft's latest OS is a smartphone-like product, although it is weakest with smartphones. Apple's is a PC-like product, although it is weakest in that space. ...

Twitter Flitters Further Into Mobile Advertising
