Message From Our Sponsor
When a high-end apparel manufacturer wanted an e-commerce
presence that was easy for merchandisers to manage,
they turned to ATG. Online sales have grown consistently;
more than tripling in their first year.
Read the ATG Case Study to see how.

Podcast
Mobile Development and Multiplicity Madness (34:30 minutes)
iPhone, BlackBerry, Symbian, WinMo, Android -- the world is awash in
smartphone platforms, and this fragmented landscape is a pain for
developers, who have to build an app four or five times in order to
reach all users, as well as enterprises, which have to pay for the work.
However, if the mobile browser world were to rally around WebKit, could
it be the answer to simplified mobile development?

Today's Story Highlights

Legacy Software: Rebuilding the Ship in Rough Waters
As the market recedes further and companies look to shed cost in any way
feasible, many look inwardly in order to find key areas for improvement.
Aberdeen's research shows that the top business pressures forcing
companies in the direction of legacy application modernization are
largely internal. The top two pressures have to do with agility.

The US Army: It's Better with Vista?
Sometimes it's hard to distinguish fact and fiction on the Linux blogs.
Take last week, for example, when Asus's apparent decision to join hands
with Microsoft and proclaim that its netbooks were "better with Windows"
shook things up. Few saw that one coming, we'd bet; once it did, the
shock and disbelief were enough to make many look around for the hidden
camera.

The Sims 3 for iPhone: How Large Can You Live on a Small Screen?
"SimCity," originally released by Maxis 20 years ago, was the matriarch
of a gaming dynasty, giving rise to an impressive sprawl of spinoffs and
sequels. The main series hit its true stride with "SimCity 3000," and
related "Sim" titles like "SimAnt," "SimEarth," and "SimTower" achieved
varying degrees of success.

Plane Disappearance Prompts Call for Better In-Flight Tech
Get lost in the woods and a cell phone in your pocket can help camping
buddies find you. Drive into a ditch and GPS in your car lets emergency
crews pinpoint the crash site. However, when a transcontinental flight
is above the middle of the ocean, no one on the ground can see exactly
where it is -- in the air, or worse, in the water.

Microsoft Slates Windows 7 Delivery for October
Windows 7 will be available on new computers starting Oct. 22, according
to Microsoft. That date puts Microsoft ahead of the year-end retail
season; however, it largely misses the annual back-to-school sales
window. Those who buy a Vista PC in the weeks preceding Oct. 22 may be
eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 7 once it's available, but
details of that program remain unclear.

Sony Whips Up Wii-Like Motion Controller
Desperate to gain more traction in the video gaming market, where it
trails behind rivals Nintendo and Microsoft, Sony on Tuesday
demonstrated a new motion-sensing controller to an audience of gamers.
The demo at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles showed off
a device about the size and shape of a television remote control with a
colored ball at one end.
