Google did not respond today to requests for comment on the state of the negotiations with China. . "I think Google thought China would be flexible ," said Rob Enderle, an analyst with the Enderle Group. "As the U.S. government has often found, flexibility isn't something you generally look for in China with regard to Western ideas of what human rights should be. This is China playing hardball, and it once again would indicate that when you negotiate with a government, you are generally at a massive disadvantage."

. AMD displayed a working unit of the chip in a desktop at the Cebit trade show in Hannover, Germany, earlier this month, without disclosing details about its performance or cache size. . Analysts called the upgraded processor technology an important step forward, but described it as evolutionary rather than revolutionary, mostly due to a lack of software to take advantage of the six cores. . "The issue remains that few things make use of any more than three cores right now, outside of professional workstations and servers," said Rob Enderle, an analyst with the Enderle Group.

especially since Apple has already indicated that it will be flexible on the iPad's pricing, depending on how the device sells initially. And who can forget Apple's sudden price slash on the first iPhone when Apple dropped the price of the original iPhone by $200 (and, after complaints, offered early adopters a $100 Apple store credit). . The Wall Street Journal's Smart Money Blog details a host of reasons to refrain from pre ordering the iPad including price drops, bugs, app availability, connectivity, and competition. The Journal notes that, as is likely with the first edition of any new product, bugs haven't been fixed, a very small selection of apps will be available, there will only be Wi Fi enabled versions (at least, initially), and other companies might step it up. . "Even the first iPhone owners were pretty unhappy," Rob Enderle of the San Jose based Enderle Group told the Journal on Thursday.

From Juneau, Alaska to Sarasota, Fla., cities across the U. S are vying to be chosen by Google ( GOOG 576.45 , +16.26 , +2.90% ) as a test bed for its experimental ultra high speed broadband network, projected to be 100 times faster than what is available in most U. S homes. But some cities might want to think twice before they court Google. They might want to make sure they have some funds in their coffers and incentives that will very likely be required to help turn their cities into 21st century digital hubs. "By the time this is over I expect this to be a bidding war," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.

The new Cisco hardware is for the backbones of telecom firms and other Internet service providers that will be able to vastly ramp up the amount of data they handle and how fast it travels. "They are the plumbers of the Internet," analyst Rob Enderle of Enderle Group in Silicon Valley said of Cisco. "They are the ones that make sure that the pipes are clean and large enough to handle the flow of traffic and remain up and running.". AT&T indicated that it will begin deploying the new generation Cisco switching and router hardware in the US in about two years.

However, TiVo. is known for drop dead simplicity, and it's familiar to a broad range of consumers. Its push in this direction could mean the promise of convergence of traditional network and cable content with Web content is at hand."TiVo is good at making things easy. I think it could make a lot more of this stuff go mainstream," Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group , told TechNewsWorld.
