Remember HP’s New Wave? Here We Go Again!

By Bob Warfield on February 15, 2011

Sam Diaz has gotten clarification on the future of Windows in the light of their Web OS announcements.  It should come as no surprise that Windows isn’t going anywhere, and certainly won’t be replaced by Web OS any time soon.  Instead, HP is saying: HP will integrate the WebOS experience into Windows, but not through […]

Nokia-Microsoft Deal Completes the Three Winning Strategies a Market Can Have

By Bob Warfield on February 11, 2011

According to Michael Porter, markets have three winning strategies: –  Best:  Build the best product in the market. –  Low Cost Provider:  Compete on Price. –  Niche:  Service a niche that is under-served by the other two strategies.  All markets have niches of one kind or another. Can you guess which of the three smartphone […]

Tech company sustainability reports reviewed

Tech company sustainability reports reviewed

By Tom Raftery on May 25, 2010

I was asked on Twitter recently where to find a list of links to tech companies’ CSR reports.

I didn’t know where to find one, so I built one and as well as just the links, I also added in a few extra observations I noted about the reports.

The Microsoft Office 2010 launch excerpt

The Microsoft Office 2010 launch excerpt

By Vinnie Mirchandani on May 13, 2010

I was excited to see this video around the Microsoft Office and Sharepoint 2010 launch from the NBC Saturday Night Live studio. Not so much around the tactical feature discussions and demos but to see Mark Mastrianni talk about how it fits within GE’s larger goals (that section starts around minute 16, and goes through […]

Things Looking Up Much?

Things Looking Up Much?

By James Governor on February 5, 2010

I read the Financial Times most days. Over the last 18 months or so the news has been mostly bad, so I have to say today’s tech digest made for very pleasant reading.

Should $RIMM sell?

Should $RIMM sell?

By Chris Selland on November 5, 2009

Lively debate going on this morning regarding whether it’s time for $RIMM to find a buyer, as Dan Frommer argues that they have become an enterprise dinosaur in an increasingly consumer-driven market.  So should they sell?
As I argued here recently, $GOOG is rapidly ascending and $AAPL has quickly become the leader in attention if not […]
