There is no joy at Yahoo, for mighty Jerry has struck out. This week Yahoo cofounder Jerry Yang announced he was stepping down after 17 turbulent months as CEO of the big Internet portal — a time in which the company rebuffed a buyout offer from Microsoft, flubbed an ad sales agreement with Google, and [...]

Looking for improved business models for the personal computer business, Apple CEO Steve Jobs often used to cite automobile makers, though never American car companies. The examples were invariably German. Whether it was the design aesthetic of his Mercedes sedan or Porsche’s success at selling high-margin cars as entertainment devices, Jobs could always point to [...]

My first car was an Oldsmobile, a red 1966 convertible I wish I still owned today. It was big and heavy yet somehow managed to average 18 miles per gallon in an era when gasoline cost 35 cents. Detroit and the U.S. automakers ruled the world when that car was built, yet now the companies [...]

President-Elect Barack Obama has announced that when he’s in office he’ll appoint a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for the whole darned USA. Though Google CEO Eric Schmidt already said he isn’t interested in the job, I am. I accept, Mr. President. And while the idea of Cringely for CTO may seem lame to most everybody [...]

Steve Jobs is not like you and me. He has millions of customers, 32,000 employees, and a board of directors who think he can do no wrong. Running a company that is immensely profitable, gaining in market share, has no debt and $20 billion in cash, he can afford to make bold moves, the most [...]

A couple of columns ago we touched on the practical rebirth of parallel computing. In case you missed that column (it’s in this week’s links), the short version is that Moore’s Law is letting us down a bit when it comes to the traditional way of increasing the power of microprocessors, which is by raising [...]

I am not a very sophisticated mobile phone user. I don’t use most of the bells and whistles on my phone, probably because I don’t know what they even are. But just because I’m an idiot about USING mobile phones doesn’t mean I don’t understand the emerging mobile market, to which I have been paying [...]

It isn’t very often I get to apply Moore’s Law to a non-Information Technology business and rarer still that I can then relate the whole thing back to Microsoft, so I’m going for it. Here’s what the solar power industry can teach us about Microsoft: The wonderful thing about Moore’s Law is what the lady [...]

Apple last week introduced a pair of very nice notebook computers that, not at all surprisingly, looked like riffs on the MacBook Air. The company in a separate announcement released 600 high-definition television episodes through the iTunes Store. This week Apple will reportedly release new 20-inch and 24-inch iMacs, also for the Christmas season. Two [...]
