Shortly after my piece earlier today suggesting that SpinVox needed a spin doctor, it seems that the company decided to take the title seriously. Someone posted a comment pointing to a SpinVox blog post as proof that the BBC article was flawed. And the vendor's blog is going to be the accurate and f...
Often, one of the selling points of tech companies, especially Web-based businesses, is the cool factor of their technology. Not only can this help bring in the early adopters, but it gives investors the sense that scaling a business and leveraging money put in should be possible. But woe unto those...
Incredibly, SAP would still rather talk trash about software-as-a-service (SaaS) than bring its own innovative products to market. During an interview on SAP TV (approximately 57 seconds into the video), SAP's CTO, Vishal Sikka, tried to portray SaaS as the "cheap" and unreliable bastard child of...
I've reported before about a long-term problem that Apple iPhones have seemed to have with iPhones overheating, though the company hasn't publicly acknowledge the extent of the issue. According to some, the major cause is likely a battery issue. Well, a Seattle reporter is claiming that Apple has been preventing her and others from getting information to document reports of iPod batteries catching fire.
Earlier I posted about what might be Yahoo's big mistake: putting itself before its customers. But news brings a matched observation for company CEO Carol Bartz: hubris.
You know things are bad at a company when the earnings release crows about exceeding the "midpoint of revenue outlook range." And given the recent history of Yahoo, there's no question that things have been bad. But has the departure of Jerry Wang and installation of Carol Bartz as CEO changed the company enough? I'm not so sure.

It turns out that Gordon Moore never predicted that processing power would continue to double every two years. What former Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel co-founder Moore wrote for Electronics Magazine in 1965 was that the costs of electronic components will be sufficiently depressed by demand...
Earlier today, my colleague Michael Hickins discussed concerns about a new tech bubble involving Web 2.0. His take was that those who see the expanding iridescent form simply don't "understand the value proposition of Web 2.0," and that a person who raises such doubts "confuses enthusiasm engendered by the potential of the likes of Facebook and Twitter with the 'irrational exuberance' over the likes of Pets.com." I'll disagree. The question is not a simple good versus bad argument, and many in the new round of "enthusiasm" have shown a disturbing number of traits in common with the 2001 dot bomb fiasco.
Apple has announced its 2009 Q3 results, and of course the iPhone continues its relentless drive toward dominating its market. And on the personal computer side, there was unit growth again.

The recent dustup over Amazon.com removing unauthorized copies of George Orwell's 1984 from the Kindles of people who had bought the title seems to have settled with muddled excuses from Amazon and righteous anger from many in blogging and the press. But what many seem to be missing is that for the industry, this brings up far bigger questions than what Amazon will and won't do and how consumers might feel about it. Some of what came up goes right to the heart of problems about media and even data ownership that are only going to get more complex and divisive.

While Vic Gundotra, Google's developer evangelist, argues that mobile applications will be sold through Web browsers rather than app stores controlled by handset makers, most mobile apps today are sold through app stores. Microsoft Windows Mobile (for which there is no app store at this point) as...
Google's developer evangelist, Vic Gundotra, may have alienated his key constituency, mobile application developers, by claiming that mobile phone users will end up getting their apps from Web browsers rather than from app stores operated by the likes of Apple, Nokia, Palm, and Research in Motion. ...
Download speeds are to the telecom industry what megapixel counts are to digital photography: only part of the story and an unbridled attempt by marketing to bamboozle customers into perceiving value that may not be there. So it's not surprising that Qwest would join the bandwagon -- except that in an interview with me not so long ago, the company's CTO himself questions the use of similar numbers by competitors.
