Yahoo Stares Down Facebook Over Website Patents

‘Act of Valor’ and Google Glasses: The Future of Movies and Reality TV

This weekend,"Act of Valor" opened, but this isn't a review of this Navy Seals-based action movie. Instead, I'll focus on the incredibly low budget of US$13 million for a film with massive amounts of live action and the feel of a war movie. Movies like this can easily cost 10x to 50x as much. An amazing combination of technology from Adobe, Canon, HP and Nvidia made this thing possible, and much of this technology is available to you. In fact, the movie was created mostly with tools you could have in your home.

Mozilla Stocks the Shelves for an App Store Grand Opening

"If [Mozilla] funds the app store well ... they might do well," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told LinuxInsider But "they're well behind Google and Apple in terms of coverage and audience and funds, and they won't get the number of apps and OEMs behind t...

Microsoft Calls Google a Cookie Monster

Google "basically hacked IE differently than they hacked Safari, but the result is pretty much the same -- they overrode the browsers' capability to block cookies and prevent reporting," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. Google "appears to be intentionally violating the privacy rights of users of third party products."

Cisco Chews Up the Scenery in the Interoperability Drama

Last week, Cisco raised an objection to the Microsoft acquisition of Skype, saying it would hurt video conferencing interoperability -- even though, in this space, you could argue Cisco is not the poster child for interoperability. Coincidently, I met with the CEO of LifeSize last Thursday, and he saw this Microsoft acquisition as a huge opportunity. LifeSize is the poster child for video-conferencing interoperability. ...

European Court Rejects Plea to Turn Social Nets Into Copyright Police

"Requiring service providers to enforce laws for services that cross state borders is onerous, and these services aren't really law enforcement agencies," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "This would be like requiring a car compa...

Random Public Crypto Keys Aren’t So Random

"Any duplication of keys represents a theoretical threat," Rob Enderle, principal analyst, Enderle Group, pointed out. However, "the authors did not demonstrate an actual breach, and ... it may still be easier for an attacker to use a brute force attack, since determining which keys were duplicated, let alone getting hold of the duplicates, might prove unacceptably difficult."

How MySpace Got Its Groove Back

The role of Justin Timberlake should not be discounted, Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group told TechNewsWorld. When Myspace sold last year, it was announced that Justin Timberlake, as part of his ownership stake in the site, would play a major role in developing the creative d...

Boycott Apple! Why Apple Is Screwed

Boy, if there were ever an indication that we're in the post-Steve Jobs years, it was last week when there was a major rally to hold Apple accountable for the poor working conditions at Foxconn in China. Now I'm all for accountability, but this would be like a European country holding a restaurant there accountable for the working conditions on U.S. fishing boats (and there was even a TV show on how bad that job can suck). In fact, this effort might actually make working conditions in these factories worse, simply because companies like Apple will now be more motivated not to report problems outside of their authority. ...

Anon Lets Fly With Symantec Code After Ransom Talks Collapse

"Clearly this [approach] didn't work because the hacker suspected he was being phished," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "I doubt the approach taken would have ever worked." "[Law enforcement] should have set up a drop. Physical methods for catchi...

Google Gets in Your Eyes

"Nothing here [as reported] requires a massive technology breakthrough, just some cost optimization," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "The cost of the displays will be the main issue, and unless Google sells a ton of them, it'll be hard to bring down their price."

iOS More Crashtastic Than Android

"Comparing Android to Apple is like comparing Microsoft to Apple," Rob Enderle, principal analyst, Enderle Group, told LinuxInsider. "Apple should have only 10 to 15 percent of the market instead of matching Google because Android is on far more phones and carriers than Apple, which has a couple of products and not too many carriers and is higher priced."

New Player Enters Field of Streams

"By having its own streaming service, Verizon can better optimize performance over their network," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times.
