Podcast
The Ties That Bind Business Processes (38:45 minutes)
There's cloud, and then there's cloud integration -- building ways for
those closest to the work itself to integrate, extend and coordinate
business processes. Managed processes built on a range of business
development and consulting tasks bind together critical sales and
financial product delivery goals to better support long-term business
engagements.

Today's Story Highlights

It'll Be Raining Tablets in India
India plans to provide very low-cost personal computing devices to
millions of students through an agreement with DataWind to manufacture
mass quantities of its Ubislate tablet for a price point of around $50,
according to Minister of Human Resource Development Kapil Sibal. The
tablets reportedly will be subsidized by the Indian government, bringing
the price down to about $35.

Tech World's Fire Dims With Passing of Steve Jobs
Apple Chairman Steve Jobs, who has been battling pancreatic cancer for
years, has died, Apple announced on Wednesday. The company's iconic
former CEO was 56. "Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and
the world has lost an amazing human being," Apple said. "Those of us who
have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear
friend and an inspiring mentor."

Samsung's Nexus Striptease - Fascinating or Freakish?
The Android community is abuzz with speculation about Samsung's plans
for its Unpacked event on Oct. 11 at the upcoming CTIA Enterprise &
Applications Conference to be held in San Diego. Some rumors suggest
Samsung will unveil the latest item in the Android Nexus family of
smartphones, while others speculate that the device will be a tablet.

iPhone 4S: Just Apple Being Apple
It didn't take long for journalists, bloggers and commenters to start
declaring the iPhone 4S an iFail, a disappointment, a wide-open
opportunity for competitors. I was mildly surprised that we didn't see
an iPhone 5, but in retrospect, I think I got caught up in the mass
hysteria of rumors and supposition by bloggers and analysts alike. My
nagging thoughts: Why would Apple deviate from its previous road map?

Pondering the Prospect of a Completely Open Linux Tablet
Well, the tablet craze continues apace, putting Linux -- in the form of
Android -- into the hands of countless new users every day. Go tablets!
Of course, much as we here in the Linux community are fiercely proud of
Android and the success it has achieved, there's no denying that the
software isn't as open as many of us would like it to be.
