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

How to Get the Internet on Your Car Stereo
Unless you're driving a tricked-out late model BMW or Mini, you're
unlikely to have Internet-based media streaming options built into your
vehicle. However, there are ways to replicate that Internet media
experience -- just without the integrated controls. The basic premise is
to use your smartphone.

Microsoft Contributes to Samba, World Keeps Spinning
"As often happens, a couple of developers at a company found a way to
improve core Samba code," Samba team member Chris Hertel recently wrote.
"They got permission to submit the patches under their own copyright and
the terms of the GPL, and they sent the patches in. It happens all the
time in Samba, and we are always grateful. The only notable thing in
this particular case is the company for which those developers work:
Microsoft."

How Apple Could Be Burned - or Warmed - by Fire
The surveys comparing the hotness of the Amazon Kindle Fire to the Apple
iPad 2 are hitting us in full force: A pair of them seem to show that
the Kindle Fire, with its 7-inch screen and friendly US$199 price tag,
seems to be digging into Apple's mountain of iPad mindshare. "Surveys,
smurveys," you say.

Nvidia Crams Tegra 3 Mobile Chip Chock Full of Cores
Nvidia on Wednesday launched the quad-core mobile Nvidia Tegra 3
processor. Formerly nicknamed "Project Kal-El," the Tegra 3 has four
main cores and a fifth companion core. It distributes the workload among
these using patent-pending variable symmetric multiprocessing
technology.

Amazon Throws Some Choice Apps on the Kindle Fire
When Amazon's new Kindle Fire tablet shows up on Nov. 15, users will be
able to choose from thousands of apps available for download at Amazon's
Appstore. That's way fewer than the hundreds of thousands iPad owners
can get from Apple's App Store. Still, if they're the right apps, who
cares?
