Tuned into the new season of American Idol? Neither are we! It seems, though, we’ve been missing out on some very LOL-worthy moments, courtesy of new judge Steven Tyler.

Bill Gates Needs to Replace Steve Ballmer as Microsoft CEO: 10 Reasons Why
February 2nd, 2011 |
No Comments
Microsoft is a fascinating company to watch. Financially, the firm performs better than the vast majority of tech companies in the world, generating billions of dollars in revenue and profits every year. But when it comes to customer perception, it doesnt enjoy the admiration it once had for its technical prowess and growth potential. In fact, these days many still call the company the "Evil Empire," while others view it as an aging giant thats slowly but surely being taken down by more innovative competitors. At the center of this image problem is Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. For years, Ballmer has led the company through the ups and downs of being a technology company. But he has watched as Microsofts stock price has remained relatively stagnant over the years while more nimble competitors, such as Google and Apple, have passed it by. The train wreck that was Vista, the decline of Microsofts mobile business, and to his credit, the resurgence of Microsofts flagship operating system with Windows 7, have all occurred on Ballmers watch. But along the way he hasnt done much to help Microsoft regain its image as an agile, innovative company with a vision for steady growth into the distant future. As a result, the time has come for Ballmer to go. The list of people that might be able to replace Ballmer is long. But when its all said and done, only one person can supplant the Microsofts CEO: its co-founder Bill Gates. – …

Apple Without Steve Jobs Will Do Just Fine: 10 Reasons Why
January 20th, 2011 |
No Comments
When Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced that he would be taking a medical leave of absence Jan. 17, the news rippled through the high-tech community like a tsunami, prompting panicked questions. Financial analysts managed to ameliorate some of the hysteria by noting that they expected Apple not only to report a fine first fiscal quarter for the year, but also that the company’s existing products and forthcoming upgrades would keep the company well positioned well into the future. Well, Apple reported record earnings for the holiday quarter, ending Dec. 25. It’s also important to note that Apple has been down this road twice before with Jobs. Jobs took time off to battle pancreatic cancer in 2004. More recently, in April 2009, Jobs underwent a liver transplant. Both times, Apple COO Tim Cook has been there to guide Apple’s ship through waters calm and roiled. Since Jobs’ full-time return, the company has launched new iPhones, Macbooks, iPods and the seminal iPad last April. With upgrades planned for all of these products in the next year, Apple appears well positioned for growth& with or without Jobs. Jobs’ vision isn’t replaceable; no one is questioning that. But with Cook at the helm, backed by a solid supporting cast, the company’s day-to-day operations will be fine. Here are 10 reasons why Apple will do just fine without Jobs. – …

Apple CEO Steve Jobs has announced that hes taking his second medical leave of absence from the company in as many years. He didnt provide details on why hell be leaving the company for an extended period, but he reassured investors that Apple would be left in the able hands of its COO Tim Cook. Jobs leave of absence and his decision to put Tim Cook in charge of day-to-day operations has prompted both investors and other observers of Apples every move to question who will take over the company if Jobs has to step down. Cook seems like an obvious choice, considering he has been tasked with leading the company in Jobs absence, but there are other equally qualified people& both at Apple and outside the firm& each of whom could be capable successors to Jobs. This slide show presents some leading figures at Apple and in the IT industry at large that Apples board of directors might want to keep in mind as potential successors if Jobs has to step aside. This list could change, depending upon when Jobs makes a decision. Jobs may have already told the board who he wants to succeed him. But for now, the following 10 people seem like the best choices for the job. – …

Steve Ballmer’s CES Performance Proves He Needs to Go: 10 Reasons Why
January 11th, 2011 |
No Comments
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer took the stage at the Consumer Electronics Show last week amid anticipation from both critics and supporters. The critics were hoping he would go on-stage and deliver the same old, boring discourse on why Microsoft is tops in software. The supporters were hoping that Ballmer would talk about the impact Windows 8 will have, why Windows-based tablets are the future, and how Microsoft will spend the next year overcoming pressures from Google and Apple. Unfortunately for those supporters, Ballmer did little of the sort. Instead, he and his colleagues spent time talking about Xbox, one of Microsoft’s strongest achievers in the past year; Windows Phone 7 and how the company will improve the OS in the coming year; and Windows 7. He also mentioned that the next version of Windows will support ARM Holdings architecture. But that was about it. In the process, Ballmer showed that Microsoft in 2011 will be the same company it was in 2010: unsure of what the future really holds. He also effectively showed that he doesn’t have what it takes to run Microsoft any longer. Ballmer seems to be living in the past, and it’s hurting Microsoft and its investors. Read on to find out why 2011 should be Steve Ballmer’s last year at Microsoft. – …
