I've written extensively about Apple's major hardware problems that seem to show up more often than the fanboys would care to admit. Now we've gone from iPhones and iPods overheating to apparent big issues with hard drives on the MacBook Pro.
If you've been reading this blog over the last few days, you'll have noticed our following signs on the panel and graphic chip front suggesting that PC vendors have a glut of inventory which could well mean sales (and earnings) disappointments come the fourth quarter. Now an iSuppli report indirectly suggests that the same slowing pattern may happen among cell phones.
NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson rang the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange Tuesday, but might have wanted to hammer Gartner analyst Jeff Woods instead, for giving an incoherent presentation.
When discussing the growing insider trading scandals and expanding connection to high tech companies with an expert in corporate governance recently, he noted that it seemed to be people lower down in organizations looking for someone to grease their palms, and not members of upper management. That was questionable even a week ago, as some ranking (though not top) people at IBM and Intel, at least, were implicated. But now the Wall Street Journal reports that Advanced Micro Devices's former CEO Hector Ruiz gave confidential information about the company to one of the Galleon insider trading defendants, and at the time, Ruiz was still AMD chairman. And so the tech sector leaps neck deep into mud rather than dealing with a few splashes here and there.
When you hear that IBM is creating a mashup service for Cognos 8, its business intelligence group, what's really happening is a lot more than an application programming interface (API) that will let corporate programmers pull data from their employers' installations of Cognos into web applications o...
Nokia's email invitation to its N900 series launch event is missing a critical element: the date of the event; this is typical of what ails the company--attention to detail.
You could say that Amazon didn't know what business it wanted to be in -- retail, publishing, product development and marketing, or cloud services -- if it didn't seem to excel in all areas. And now it's taken another step to become a major cloud player, at least among small and medium businesses, b...
Last week brought the news of the AMD earnings report and the observation that vendors may be overstocking PC inventory to the point that the chip company would see less business than usual in the fourth quarter. Now we have some confirming information from the graphical processor and LCD panel fron...
The headlines regarding Verizon's Q3 earnings are that revenue is up but profit down as costs have increased. But there's another way of looking at the company's numbers -- as a classic case of synecdoche, when a part is used to talk about the whole. And Verizon's evolving market says much of where the entire telecommunications sector is headed.
Qualcomm could end up federating the currently fragmented open source mobile app space and giving Apple a real run for its money.
Many people, both in the high tech industry and those just watching it, have been grasping at any good news from some of the big names as an excuse to say that good times are here again. I've said that, so far as I could see, tech isn't close to being back to "normal", and maybe that's a good thing. The idea of a bubble being the cure for a deflated former one is like taking a shot of vodka to cure a hangover. All you do is postpone the inevitable. And now the Associated Press has an interesting business analysis showing to what degree corporations are gaming the earnings-expectations game. And that's exactly what's been going on in the top realms of tech.
Cisco will never beat Microsoft in the collaboration game without email, and it can't do email without Outlook compatibility, which is why it should acquire Zimbra from Yahoo.
I hadn't seen this earlier in the week, but it is pretty significant that HP is working with the University of Michigan to scan out-of-print books from the college libraries and make them available. And the interesting thing is that apparently HP paid close attention to Google's efforts on the Google Books front and is systematically finding a better way to do the same thing, as the former is managing to find solid revenue opportunities, meld the worlds of print and digital publication, and even manage to do this in such a way that it can't get sued.
