Mobile Shows That The World is Not for Dummies

Mobile Shows That The World is Not for Dummies

By John Taschek on November 18, 2013

It’s far too easy to hate statistics and use them to make a point simultaneously. Let’s use them to show that the world is not comprised of dummies and idiots. Beginning with the trends published by Mary Meeker about mobile adoption. She shredded some statistical constructs about the PC industry and its projected growth by […]

By Chris Yeh on August 30, 2012

We seem to have reached the stage of tablet evolution where ungainly variations are crawling out of the primordial ooze on a daily basis.Just today, a single Engadget story covered the Sony VAIO Duo 11–a tablet that converts into a laptop via a slid…

Dell’s Rock and Hard Spot

Dell’s Rock and Hard Spot

By Dave Michels on February 24, 2012

The Apple iPad is booming, but does that mean the PC is dying? The enterprise seems to to view the iPad not as an OR, but an AND. But the consumer PC is not so resilient. This week Dell reported Fourth Quarter Results: “Dell Inc.’s (DELL) fiscal fourth-quarter earnings fell 18% as the computer maker saw revenue […]

HP Headlines, Pick A Favorite

By Dave Michels on August 19, 2011

HP used to be a great company. An amazing company, and the subject of numerous business books discussing innovation and leadership. Other than printers and calculators, I don’t have much HP around any more. Love my HP 12C calculator (RPN Ever4!). But the current HP is a joke and has been for quite some time. […]

How Many Computers Does The World Really Need?  There Are Two Answers.

How Many Computers Does The World Really Need? There Are Two Answers.

By Zoli Erdos on March 6, 2009

Legendary IBM Chairman & CEO Thomas Watson declared in 1943: I think there is a world market for maybe five computers. The fact the famous quote is likely incorrectly attributed to him is immaterial. 80 or years later the World may just prove him (or whoever said this) right. According to Microsoft research chief Rick […]
