The Automation Revelation (21:39 minutes)
UK managed service provider InTechnology says it's reaped tremendous
benefits from an automated lifecycle approach. "When you've got like 80
percent of all incidents raised automatically, it takes a massive burden
off the 24/7 teams and the customer support guys, who are not spending
the majority of their time creating incidents but actually working to
resolve them," said InTechnology's Ed Jackson.

Today's Story Highlights
Sued and Screwed: Where Do AT&T and T-Mobile Go From Here?
The U.S. Department of Justice dealt a surprising blow to the proposed
$39 billion merger between wireless providers AT&T and T-Mobile
Wednesday when it filed a lawsuit to block AT&T from acquiring the
smaller company, claiming the deal would violate antitrust regulations.
The proposed merger, announced five months ago, would combine the
nation's second and fourth largest wireless providers.

Will Apple Still Be Apple Without Steve Jobs?
We knew this day was coming. Now that Steve Jobs is leaving, Apple will
change. Apple has stood out during the last decade or more as an
incredible growth engine for customers, investors, workers and partners.
However, it wasn't just Apple. If Apple is the steak, then Steve Jobs is
the sizzle. How important is the sizzle? Will Apple still be Apple?
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/73190.html
A Dreamforce Diary
One of the announcements Marc Benioff made in his Day 1 keynote here at
Dreamforce was Database.com. The news is that Salesforce is now enabling
its customers to store their data on their own hardware inside their
data centers. There is a need -- or at least a demand -- for this
capability, as many large enterprises and government institutions do not
wish to send their data outside of their own four walls.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/73197.html
What Murdoch Can Teach Us About Corporate Governance
At this point, most of us are quite aware of the problems that Rupert
Murdoch is having in Great Britain. There has been a seismic shift in
the power that Murdoch has over politics and law enforcement in England.
Up until a few short months ago, most people in power there were afraid
to openly criticize Murdoch for fear of retribution in the press.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/73193.html
Dreamforce '11: Head in the Clouds, Feet on the Ground
Salesforce.com kicked off its 9th Dreamforce conference with a slew of
new features, services and products, as well as an offering that
represents a surprising shift for the cloud-evangelizing company: the
ability to store data on premises for security-conscious companies.

Today's Story Highlights
Will Samsung's Ugly Duckling Become a Swan?
Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Note, which sports a 5.3-inch screen --
a size that places it between a typical smartphone and a tablet. It
features an HD Super AMOLED display with a 180-degree viewing angle. The
device comes with a slide-out stylus called the "S Pen" and sports an 8-
MP rear camera and a 2-MP front camera for video chat.

US Travelers Abroad: Don't Get Gouged by Stiff Data Roaming Fees
Travel tools for the road include some of the killer apps that have
driven the smartphone market, like mapping. However, the ball and chain
is the cost of getting that data outside of your home market. For
example, U.S. carrier Sprint currently charges a whopping $19.45 per
megabyte to use its GSM data roaming agreements in Europe.

A Tale of Two Licenses
Well the wild ride that was August appears to have tapered off a bit as
the month drew to a close, so Linux bloggers have finally had a few days
to stop and catch their breath. Bartenders throughout the blogosphere
have had a chance to restock their supplies, and conversations have, for
the most part, returned to normal volumes. There's one exception,
however.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73191.html
The Perils of 'Social Divide' Thinking
Dreamforce's two-and-a-half hour keynote on Wednesday featured plenty of
technology talk, and technology is neat -- don't get me wrong. The art
and science of managing customer relationships would be lost without it.
But one thing Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said early on really stuck in
my head. He said that the idea of a digital divide was no longer the
issue. It was the idea of a social divide.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73192.html
Goodbye TV Show Rentals - and Goodbye External Hard Drives
My unhappiness with Apple's decision to cancel iTunes TV show rentals
for 99 cents led me to get a glimpse of Apple's new iCloud-related
world. As it was widely reported, Apple decided to ditch the rental
program because consumers overwhelmingly prefer to buy their TV shows. I
don't have the data in front of me, but I can't say I believe Apple on
this one.

DoJ Puts Kibosh on AT&T's T-Mobile Plans
| Rob Spiegel 08/31/11 12:29 PM PT | |
 | Looks as though AT&T will have to resort to Plan B to expand its network capacity, with the DoJ nixing its T-Mobile acquisition. The move apparently caught AT&T and the market by surprise. "It's certainly a switch from what we generally expect, which is that everything goes through," said Allen Nogee, principal analyst for wireless technology at In-Stat. [See Full Story] |
