EMC realizes that it can't possibly compete head-on with Microsoft's SharePoint in the market for workplace collaboration tools -- and surveys show that Microsoft has an unassailable market share in this space -- so, EMC is trying to pull a jujitsu move on Microsoft, using the the document sharing p...
Over at Advertising Age, Simon Dumenco has an interesting post about how a free netbook as a come-on to a subscription-based content service (whether video or e-book) might be the savior of media. That struck me because I think he's on the right track but perhaps hasn't gone far enough. For consumers, at least, perhaps we're seeing the beginning of the end of directly paying for hardware, period.
The New York Times had an article Saturday about tech blogs running rumors. As I understood the article, the overall point was that such sites as TechCrunch and Gizmodo will print rumors because it is their way of gaining attention and competing with mainstream media organizations that have far deeper resources. The blogs reply that this is a process that helps bring the readers into the journalism. I say, what's wrong with printing the occasional rumor?
Shortly after someone invented the cell phone, some other entrepreneurs developed the term mobile commerce. You can't blame them, as there would seem to be something compelling about tying doing business to a device that so many keep with them more religiously than their wallets. There have even been expanding efforts to let people buy merchandise in stores using their own handsets. And, of course, there's online advertising, after which Google and others lust. Now there's a new twist: using an smartphones iPhone to control an interactive merchandising display.
Intel has been almost synonymous with PCs for decades. However, the acquisition of embedded systems vendor Wind River marks an historic shift for Intel, just as thoroughly as when the company originally exited the memory chip business. By acquiring top embedded systems software vendor Wind River, it not only turns its attention to the world beyond the personal computer, but goes into competition with major business partners Microsoft and Apple.
According to recent estimates from World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), the global semiconductor market in 2009 will see an almost 22 percent drop from the previous year. And even though growth is supposed to return in 2010 and increase in 2011, a slightly deeper look at the numbers suggests that full recovery is years off.
Back in February, Facebook faced a firestorm of user anger over its changed terms of use, when The Consumerist noted a change in the terms of service that gave the company virtually unlimited rights over user content. Now the chances of someone noticing similar changes at other sites is greater because the Electronic Frontier Foundation has started a new service called TOSBack, which tracks 44 website policies over 20 organizations (including itself) and notes the differences.

I don't think there's another industry that sexualizes mergers and acquisitions quite like IT. You wouldn't think anyone would characterize the competition between EMC and NetApp over data deduplication vendor Data Domain as a "love triangle," as veteran storage reporter Chris Priemesberger did, b...
What is going on with companies and their distaste for the term netbook? Clearly this is a market that will be important. Intel is already seeing netbooks cannibalize 20 percent of notebook sales. That's one big chunk of business. So you could understand how vendors of all stripes want in on the fun and, hopefully, market domination. Only the rebranding and repositioning in the market is really sounding goofy.
Cisco's latest plan to "grow, motivate and evolve" its sales channel partners to better emphasize virtualized data centers may sound like the type rah-rah that all tech vendors seem to undertake now and again. Usually it's actually doublespeak for increasing sales volume by lowering the amount resellers can make on any one deal. But for Cisco, the issue is far more critical. By entering new markets, the company is putting its channel, and itself, to a test that neither may be able to win.
