Back in the days before Facebook, no one would have ever suggested that businesses get involved with social networks.

Nokia has lost its overall market share leadership in the worldwide smartphone segment to Apple, based on browser calls for mobile ads. Why is mobile ad share important? Because in the smartphone segment, the tail wags the dog -- apps drive customer loyalty more than hardware features -- and Gart...
In a telephone conversation today discussing Google's strategy for Google Apps, director of products Matt Glotzbach mentioned a new set of enterprise specific enhancements for contact management in Google Apps. This is significant because contact management, at least according to the users I've spoken with, has been considered a big weakness of the product line.
Apple is known for innovative design and great user interfaces. But quality assurance? Not so much. There's a new problem that has been appearing, this time in the latest iPhone 3GS. Overheating has been causing a number of white cases to discolor, even after the short time people have had them. But then, can you call a problem "new" when some number of iPhone users have dealt with it for two years?
Congrats to Eric Savitz at Barron's Tech Trader Daily for uncovering that Palm CFO Douglas Jeffries has been claiming to be a CPA, even though he hasn't been registered as such since 1984. But there is at least one other odditity at the moment: just who did he work for before joining Palm?
Hosting and cloud computing vendor Rackspace suffered an hour-long shortage yesterday, as my colleague Erik Sherman discussed. Erik quite correctly notes that cloud vendors have to overcome fears about cloud security and availability that are exacerbated by exactly this kind of incident. The sad ...

We got the May job cut numbers from Challenger, Gray & Christmas, and announced job cuts hit a 15-month low. In high tech -- which we've been taking to be electronics, computers, and telecom, though there is undoubtedly some high tech falling unseen into other categories -- the announced cuts in June were down 56.3 percent compared to May, when the sector bucked the general trend and actually saw an increase in planned job cuts compared to the rest of the economy.

My colleague Michael Hickins and I have disagreed at times over whether companies like Google or Apple. My skepticism has never been one of simply product function or cost, but rather an issue of what it takes to provide what an enterprise IT customer looks for. Bernard Lunn at ReadWriteWeb has an interesting discussion of this in the context of enterprise customers often demanding on-premise deployment, rather than SaaS delivery. And in his reporting is a nugget that suggests an entirely new business model that I'm calling peer-to-peer enterprise computing.
Nokia is rumored to be planning to introduce a netbook in 2010 running on Google's Android operating system. I wonder how that would sit with Intel, with whom Nokia just got in bed.
