Google was touting its new approach to making Google Apps work with Microsoft Oulook. But it now appears that Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook may disable Outlook's ability to search any data. If Microsoft is being up and up about the bug report, then it's another example of how far Google has to go to turn itself into a vendor that enterprises can trust.
Sun Microsystems had been working on a new chip project, called the Rock, for five years. The multi-threading, multi-core SPARC chip was intended for such applications as heavy computation and big database servers, going after the type of demanding use that had been a strong point for the company. Now there's a report that the project has been cancelled. But, if so, was it mercy killing, or murder by a disinterested Oracle?
It's been a tough day for MySpace as the company fired nearly 30 percent of its workforce. When it's tough to tell whether the blood on the floors from the axing is flowing as fast as the printer ink as those who remain prepare resumes, the atmosphere is serious. However, what MySpace faces now is something to which both Twitter and Facebook should pay close attention. The world can seem fine when you're on top, but when your business is driven by fad and fashion, up and down can switch in the blink of an eye.
The acquisition of Sun by Oracle is casting a large shadow that obscures a couple of other potentially important acquisitions in the tech world.

U.K. cable TV operator Virgin Media and music company Universal are touting their new partnership in a music downloading service as a first because it allows unlimited downloads for a fixed fee. (Microsoft has allowed unlimited streaming, but that has less consumer appeal.) It may be positioned as a way to combat piracy -- people who get as much as they want have fewer reasons to purloin -- but the real achievement may be stumbling toward a payment model that could work in a modern media age.
Sun shareholders convening today to approve the company's acquisition by Oracle can breathe a sigh of relief. The company seems to be in the clear today, although as recently as April 30 (ten days after Oracle announced its bid), Sun was concerned that it might have breached the Foreign Corrupt Prac...
IBM's recent lawsuit against Dell may be a continuation of the recent wrangling the industry has seen over employees who are perceived as making a different to companies, such as IBM's other recent suit against Apple over chip executive Mark Papermaster. However, it also offers some insights into the strategies of these two major tech players.
Salesforce.com is trying to goose margins by introducing new ways for customers to use its cloud-based development platform, but it's still missing in action where mobility, perhaps the fastest-growing tech segment, is concerned.

According to Piper Jaffrey analyst Gene Munster, Wall Street doesn't appreciate the sales boosting power that price cuts on Apple's notebooks will have on Mac unit sales. But it may be that investors have become wary of Munster's predictions, as they are often significantly off the mark. And, in this case, there is additional evidence suggesting against the sudden appearance of increased price elasticity.
The past two times Apple has released a new iPhone, there were lines and frustration as the activation process fell apart. Hopefully it won't happen again, but there are already signs that things are not smooth at operations, though whether the problem of Apple or AT&T, it's tough to say.

My colleague Michael Hickins wrote an illuminating post yesterday about big business ignoring Cisco's united computing system, which is supposed to be a data center platform that could rival those of IBM and HP. That got me thinking about a number of news items and thoughts that have been kicking around, with tech vendors missing big success in all sorts of "additional" business lines. Once again I find myself wondering whether a major mistake companies are making is diversification. Not in avoiding the strategy, but in going about it the wrong way? If you watch business history, you see similar themes reoccurring over time. The current flailing about by so many tech vendors smells a lot like the conglomeration fiasco of a few decades past.
