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.

A recent report of just how much money a couple of Apple's Manhattan retail store locations made (via AppleInsider) got me wondering about what the average company store made.

Microsoft doesn't miss an opportunity to poor-mouth the economy these days, and I'm beginning to think that this posture isn't a way of making excuses for lackluster performance, but actually a way of driving business.

Microsoft is making a big play at E3, the gaming trade show, about its strategy for the Xbox. I'm sure it was a polished explanation. Why not? It's a strategy the company has been discussing for at least six years. The question is if the "new" push -- whether on the part of Microsoft, Sony, Cisco, or anyone else â€" to dominate the living room is actually going to work.
There's a lot of interest in getting questions answered on the Internet. And now there's a flare-up between two of the companies in this space. Fluther has accused Maholo of wholesale theft of the company's content, but the whole thing is shaping up as a cross between a business rivalry and a message forum flame war -- which makes you wonder if this companies will grow up enough to keep this from becoming the future of the web.
Joe Tucci, the CEO of data storage vendor EMC, isn't your typical Silicon Valley-Cambridge technology executive, less Steve Jobs than swift jabs and uppercuts.

Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Bilski v.

Why are Microsoft and Dell seeking to temper enthusiasm about a possible warming trend in our winter of economic discontent? Are they more skillful progonsticators than other tech bellwethers, or are they simply trying to protect their collective behinds behind the recession's macroeconomic skirts? ...
There's a smoldering fight between Robert Scoble, Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg over whether to talk about Web 3.0, as the AllthingsDigital crowd would have it, or "2010 Web," as Scoble suggests. All of them have it wrong. Web 3.0 sounds even more contrived than Web 2.0 ever did; Scoble, on the oth...
In a changing of the economic guard, Cisco was added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average this morning at the expense of General Motors.
