FACT: 80 percent of leads generated by marketing are never contacted by a sales person. What a frightening statistic, and what an enormous waste of time, money and resources. "The problem is not that marketing departments are delivering such high numbers of leads that follow-up is impossible. And it's also not that sales professionals ar...
For over a decade, Linux watchers have predicted that one day the open source operating system will become the dominant player -- and yet that day never seems to arrive. Already, of course, Linux has a very healthy share of the server market and a growing place on the desktop, but it's the rise of Internet-connected devices like smartphones, tablets and netbooks that may finally catapult Linux into the mainstream.
The encryption vs. tokenization battle sometimes seems as fierce as the war between Pepsi and Coke, or the Cubs versus the White Sox. A lot has been written recently about securing data in the cloud, and the merits of the two methodologies are constantly being debated. The good news is that an argument over which is superior is far better than the alternative -- no data protection in the cloud. ...

At one time, HP was such a nice, quiet company. It was a relatively steady firm known for loyal employees, solid ethics, and products you could trust but not necessarily get excited about (unless you loved calculators and were part of the pocket protector set).

National scandals, out of control CEOs, and blossoming wars have defined Silicon Valley's last decade -- and if last week is an indicator, this decade will be even more exciting.

A popular parlor game in the technology industry is predicting new market opportunities and forecasting how quickly they're going to flourish. Despite all the investments that have been made in trying to turn this pastime into a science, it is amazing how often the market research firms still get it wrong or miss a rapidly emerging trend entirely.
This story was originally published on June 9, 2010, and is brought to you today as part of our Best of ECT News series. It had to happen sooner or later; the only question in my mind is why it has taken so long. It appears that the backlash against social media is beginning. All I can say is, yippee!...
Out in the Florida swamps, where men may be swamp things and believe in a jealous divinity, a crackpot pastor decided to commemorate Sept. 11 by the time-honored practice of book burning. In this instance, the book was the Quran That act of lunacy roiled the nation, arousing criticism from the White House as well as General David Petraeus, Secretar...
