Podcast
ALM: The Workflow Conqueror (16:59 minutes)
"ALM goes a long way to be able to conquer the various workflows," says
Todd Eaton, director of ALM tools and services at McKesson. "Within an
organization, there will be various workflows being done, but you're
still able to bring up those measurements, like another point that you
are bringing up, and have a fairly decent comparison."

Today's Story Highlights

Intel Envisions the Rise of the Ultrabook
Intel has unveiled details of its plans for the breed of super-thin,
rapid-on, tablet-like laptops which it calls "Ultrabooks" at China's
Computex Taipei 2011. The computer chip giant expects Ultrabooks to take
over 40 percent of the laptop market within six to nine months. The new
super-thin laptops run on Intel's Sandy Bridge processor.

Is Microsoft Finally Ready to Put Its Tablet Talents on Display?
Microsoft will preview specially made Windows tablet software as soon as
this week, Bloomberg recently reported. It will showcase the operating
system's touchscreen interface running on hardware that uses an Nvidia
Tegra chip, according to the report. "Right now, the stated strategy is
to have Windows 8 run on everything except smartphones," Rob Enderle,
principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld.

Apple Confirms iCloudy Forecasts for WWDC
Apple on Tuesday gave a thumbnail sketch of what will be demoed at its
World Wide Developers Conference, scheduled to kick off June 6. On
opening day, CEO Steve Jobs will deliver a keynote address together with
a team of company executives, Apple said. The keynote will include the
unveiling of iCloud, Apple's cloud services offering, as well as
information about Mac OS X Lion and iOS 5, Cupertino stated.

So, What's the Deal With MicroSkype?
Well, the Linux bloggers down at the blogosphere's Broken Windows Lounge
had just barely finished chanting Skype's funeral dirge last week when
word came that there might be reason to belt out another round. Sure
enough, turned out Skype has decided to cut its ties with the free and
open source Asterisk telephony system.

OtterBox Defender: Handsome and Heavy iPad 2 Armor
When I received my shiny new Apple iPad 2, my first fear was protecting
my new gadget from breaks or scratches. I know the iPad 2 is wicked
strong, but I've also seen tough electronic devices fail in unexpected
ways. So extra-robust protection is a must for me, and a super-
protective case is right for my lifestyle.

The Tech Market on Stranger Tides
This is turning out to be an amazing decade, with companies getting a
rebirth, other firms getting new identities, and still others sliding
into delusional obscurity. Microsoft released the impressive Windows
Phone platform and recently added 500, yep 500, new features, which
should give the Android folks a bit of a scare, though Jobs, who is
apparently doing OK, likely thinks they missed a meeting.
