Podcast
Tempering the Supply Chain With Dynamic Discounting (33:33 minutes)
In a long-term slack economy, finding new business efficiencies is
difficult. Strategies for tightening up the supply chain can go a long
way. "Dynamic discounting is really a win-win," said Ariba's Drew
Hofler. "There is value to both sides [of purchasing relationships], and
it's not just one imposing their will on the other in order to make
their company better at the expense of the other."

Today's Story Highlights

Adobe Sends Mobile Flash Packing
Adobe announced on Wednesday that it would no longer continue to develop
Flash Player for mobile devices after the release of Flash Player 11.1
for Android and the BlackBerry PlayBook. It will instead switch to HTML5
for mobile devices. The company will focus on using Flash in areas such
as advanced gaming and premium video.

SC Justices Unsettled Over Warrantless GPS Tracking
Questions posed by U.S. Supreme Court Justices to attorneys making oral
arguments in United States v. Jones suggest the case could have
significant implications for search-and-seizure law and police
practices. The justices grilled both the U.S. attorney general and the
defense attorney for Antoine Jones, a former Washington nightclub owner
who is serving a life sentence for cocaine trafficking.

Mobile Apps to Keep Your Mind on Your Money
Managing personal finances once involved lots of paper. Then computer
programs came along that helped simplify the process. Now a multitude of
mobile apps are available to help people attend to money matters on the
go. "It's very convenient to have it in your pocket on your phone," said
Garth Scrivner, senior investment counselor with StanCorp Investment
Advisers.

Consumer Reports' Thumb Goes Up for iPhone 4S - but Not Way Up
A top publication of consumer product reviews added the iPhone 4S to its
recommended smartphone list yesterday, but it rated Apple's mobile lower
than several handsets based on Google's Android operating system. Last
year, Consumer Reports created a public stir when it refused to
add the iPhone 4 to its recommended smartphone list.

When Boot Bugaboos Strike, These Apps Will Be Your Heroes
The Linux operating system is a great computing platform when it works.
But sooner or later, your computer will fail to boot. When this happens,
Super GRUB2 Disk and Rescatux Disk can be powerful allies in
jumpstarting your computer. Of course, a failed boot happens in any OS.
Your chances increase, however, when your hard drive is partitioned to
hold multiple OSes.

The humanoid robot has been equipped with what Honda claims is the
world's first autonomous behavior control technology. This lets the
Asimo continue moving independently of an operator's control. The latest
Asimo also has improved intelligence.
