Editor's Pick: Sony's Foolish Failure to Learn From Microsoft's Mistake

Sony's Foolish Failure to Learn From Microsoft's Mistake

Rob Enderle Sep 25, 2017 10:46 AM PT

Microsoft has learned a lot of very hard lessons over the last couple of decades, and it continues to surprise and annoy me that other firms seem to have the suicidal tendency to learn the same lessons the hard way. It is far better and cheaper to avoid the mistakes of others, but firms like Apple, Google and, most recently, Sony seem to want to experience past Microsoft disasters first hand. [More...]

Companies Cheer Completion of Open-Design Transatlantic Internet Cable Microsoft on Friday announced completion of the Marea undersea cable, which stretches 4,400 miles between Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Bilbao, Spain. A joint project of Microsoft, Facebook and global telecommunication infrastructure company Telxius, the cable lies more than 17,000 feet below the ocean's surface. It is the first cable to link Virginia and Spain. [More...]

Cloud Partner Program Aims to Replace ERP Brightpearl, which offers a cloud-based retail management system for mid-sized retailers and wholesalers, on Wednesday launched a new Enterprise Partner Program. The company aims to build out its partner ecosystem to deploy an end-to-end management service for omnichannel retailers as an alternative to traditional enterprise resource planning systems.

Nimble's Social CRM Finds Its Way Into Office 365 Social sales and marketing software provider Nimble and cloud services consultant NeoCloud have partnered to deliver a simple, affordable contact management and CRM package for Microsoft Office 365. NeoCloud has agreed to bundle Nimble CRM into all of its Office 365 deployments, beginning this month. Nimble CRM adds employees' individual connections to a shared team relationship manager.

Red Hat Enlarges Its Open Source Patent Promise Umbrella Red Hat on Thursday announced major enhancements to the Patent Promise it first published 15 years ago, with the intention of providing new protections to innovation in the open source community. In its 2002 Patent Promise, Red Hat vowed not to pursue patent infringement actions against parties that used its covered Free and Open Source Software, or FOSS, subject to certain limitations. [More...]

Linux: Come for the Kernel, Stay for the Popcorn Linux offers so much for users to sink their teeth into that even among desktop and more casual users, it's easy to get caught up in the tradecraft. It's only too tempting to put your system's technical capabilities to the test by trying out a new program or practicing a new command. As with any other interest, though, Linux is not much fun unless you can revel in it with fellow fans. [More...]

Ford Motor Puts Design Strategy Under the HoloLens
Ford Motor Company on Thursday unveiled details about its use of
Microsoft's HoloLens augmented reality technology in the automotive

headsets and visualization software.

The Morning After: Weekend Edition

It's Saturday, September 23, 2017. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. Welcome to the weekend -- and be careful with your new iPhone 8. The flip side. Imagination Technologies agrees to £550 million sale Apple launched its first iPhone containing a custom-designed GPU this week, and at the same time, its former graphics chip partner agrees to a sale. Imagination Technologies saw its value dive after losing Apple as a customer for its PowerVR graphics hardware, so now a Chinese fund is buying the company for $743 million. Really. Nintendo rolls out two-step authentication for online accounts Nintendo has been slow to catch up with online features and services, but now Nintendo Account owners can use two-factor authentication. Paired with a third party app like Google’s Authenticator, it adds an additional layer of security, and you should probably turn it on ASAP.   FYI. The iPhone 8’s glass back costs way more to repair than the front Be careful with that new iPhone 8. A number of Apple employees have told AppleInsider that the back glass isn't covered under AppleCare+ screen repair warranty and is instead qualified as "other damage,” which costs $99 to fix. No LTE problems yet. Apple Watch Series 3 first look Chris Velazco survives a day using just the Apple Watch Series 3’s built-in LTE connection. iThings assemble. Apple refresh recap Need a reminder on Apple’s other big updates? We’ve got everything you need to know about iOS 11, the iPhones 8, and a quick look at the Apple TV 4K. Hits, misses and leaks. The Engadget Podcast Ep 43 This week Dana Wollman and Chris Velazco are discussing all of the new hardware from Apple, plus Google’s Pixel plans (and what we’ve learned from leaks). But wait, there's more... 1. 'Star Trek: Discovery' premiere on Sunday night 2. How Kevin Durant's attempt to clap back at trolls backfired 3. Pirate Bay 'borrows' visitor CPUs to mine virtual coins 4. Bad Password: Why Equifax's error wasn't hiring someone with a music degree 5. Uber's new CEO says the company is paying for its bad rep 6. Hackers slipped malware into popular PC software CCleaner The Morning After is a new daily newsletter from Engadget designed to help you fight off FOMO. Who knows what you'll miss if you don't subscribe. Craving even more? Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter. Have a suggestion on how we can improve The Morning After? Send us a note.
