Silicon Valley greatness can quickly turn to failure when these sins are committed.
Dell may be about to pull off one of the largest LBOs ever.
Positive disruptive change will be an understatement with the next wave of Table PCs.
Panasonic is targeting the business with its new tablet line, including the ToughPads.
Next time you lose your temper, or self-control, it could be a career-changing event and I think we all need to be more aware of this now that we increasingly live in a glass bowl.
if you thought BYOD was a pain in 2012, it will become a lot worse in 2013. It may be time to revisit or create that BYOD strategy for the coming year before the employees roll over you.
Looking back to 2012, there were a number of initiatives that showcased brilliance in technology companies. Some were just simply brilliant, others warmed my heart, and all made me proud to work with the companies that launched and nurtured them.
We are into the week when most folks are on vacation and I thought I’d use this time to revisit my three favorite IT products and/or services from the last year.
Currently, HP’s low position is largely because of bad acquisition, which was undertaken by the prior executive team and should be put behind them next year, and Apple is already trending down even though its current fourth quarter sales are reportedly rather good.

Both Samsung and Lenovo are moving to beat Apple. Lenovo is now ranked as the number one PC maker in the world and is stronger than Apple in China and other emerging markets, while Samsung has passed Apple in phones sales and is likely the firm that keeps Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, up at night.
In the end, for Microsoft to reach its potential, it will need its partners back and putting Windows into the hands of someone who will now focus on that is critical to achieving that goal. Sinofsky wasn’t that person and, therefore, Microsoft and Windows 8 are now better off without him.
There were a number of key mistakes made during the acquisition that contributed to this sad outcome. They included an unstable executive staff, including a CEO who was dodging an Oracle court appearance, a drive to do something big in software to validate the choice of a software CEO, and ignoring the objections of the acquiring company’s CFO.
