Today's Story Highlights

E-Commerce Integration: What You Don't See Can Hurt You
The year is 2025. You're at the Detroit Auto Show. The internal
combustion engine is on the decline, and alternative energy vehicles are
no longer alternatives. Walking the show floor, you're captivated by two
apparently identical vehicles, parked side by side. Both are ruby red.
Both have classic lines that scream performance. However, when you pop
open both hoods, the differences are startling.

Next-Gen Collaboration: Q&A With Avaya's Chris Formant
With last summer's launch of Avaya Aura and the purchase of Nortel
Enterprise Solutions and Nortel Government Solutions in December, Avaya
has placed itself squarely in the No. 1 spot for the global enterprise
telephony and unified communications, audio conferencing, enterprise
messaging and contact center/ACD spaces.

The Echo of TomToms in the Amazon Deal
It's hard not to have an overwhelming sense of deja vu every time word
of a new Microsoft patent deal reaches the news. Such was the case last
week, when Redmond's legal eagles gleefully proclaimed their success in
making a patent cross-license offer that Amazon apparently couldn't
refuse. The is particularly notable for its relevance to open source.

Will Verizon's Marketing Juice Grease Palm?
Palm's warning Thursday that revenues for fiscal year 2010 will be "well
below" its forecast of $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion has raised questions
regarding its ability to survive as an independent company. The
company's stocks closed at $6.53 Thursday, $1.56 down from the previous
day's close of $8.09.
