Apple's Colossal Disappointment?

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday July 26, @04:42PM
from the more-a-blunder-than-anything-else dept.
Mudzy writes "Michael Roberson, founder of Linspire, has an article at The TechZone talking about Apple's 'Colossal Disappointment' for not porting Mac OS X to PC after they announced the move to Intel processors. He discuss why this could be a mistake." From the article: "Instead of a brilliant strategic maneuver, it's a step necessitated by IBM's inability to keep pace with Intel. It seems Apple was tired of losing the gigahertz competition to the PC world. Apple had been promising faster computers for some time and had not been able to deliver them. In addition, they were frustrated at IBM's inability to produce a fast low-powered chip for laptops."

Huge HP layoff (10,000-25,000) expected any day

http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/business/121...

By Therese Poletti
Mercury News

Hewlett-Packard could announce the layoff of as many as 10,000 to 25,000 employees next week as part of a plan to restructure the Palo Alto technology giant, according to Wall Street analysts.

Such a shake-up has been anticipated since HP Chief Executive Mark Hurd replaced ousted CEO Carly Fiorina in April. Some HP workers have taken to calling the expected reorganization ``the Big One.''

... On Thursday, Cindy Shaw, an analyst at Moors & Cabot, issued a report citing a Silicon Valley insider who said HP may announce a management reorganization as early as Monday that could include widely expected layoffs. Shaw's report was the first to predict job cuts could be as high as 25,000. HP employs 9,000 people in the Bay Area and 150,000 people worldwide.

Another Theory on Apple's Move To Intel

Posted by Zonk on Saturday July 16, @05:26PM
from the got-to-love-theories dept.
An anonymous reader writes "Why did Apple really switch to Intel? Larry Loeb thinks that it has everything to do with the Trusted Computing Group's TNC (Trusted Network Connect)." From the article: "The Trusted Computer Group is a multivendor association that grew out of Microsoft's pre-emptive Trusted Computing Platform effort. Microsoft realized it couldn't force this down the manufacturers' throats, so it formed the TCG to give it the veneer of respectability and 'open standards.'"

Time for a Linux Consolidation?

Posted by Zonk on Saturday July 16, @02:58PM
from the mebbe dept.
An anonymous reader writes "Are there too many Linux distributions currently available? Can there be too many? This article explores the effect of the large number of distros out right now and suggests that progress could possibly be made through a consolidation. The article is more focused on Linux on the desktop but the ideas presented would impact the entire community, especially as it is seen as a rival to Windows." From the article: "One of the less widely recognized reasons why Linux has not yet toppled Windows, despite it many advantages, is how divided the resources available to Linux are. With dozen of different distributions the Linux community is so diffuse that the power or significance of any specific entity is severally limited."

Welcome to Cobuyitaphobia: Merger and Syngery News, a tdaxp blog. This continues the work I've done at the Cobuyitaphobia section of tdaxp. This should be a regularly updated blog of merger and synergy news that catches my eye. Instead of putting articles like "Cobuyitaphobia Blogosphere" on my main site, where they never really fit in, they will go here.

Enjoy!
