- There's an old saying that IBM never enters a market if it doesn't see a billion dollar opportunity. The company's CTO for telecommunications research, Paul Bloom, corrected me during a phone call. It's a billion dollars at the low end. And that's why IBM announced last month that it was...

- Hey, AP: Here Are 7 Money Making Ideas for You

- I came across this via InformationWeek: Zug.com decided to pull a prank on Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg and teach a lesson about wireless security at the same time.

- Amazon Kicks Q2 Rear; More Shift Away From Media Sales
- Amazon released its Q2 results, and the numbers are very impressive.

- SpinVox Needs Spin Doctor

- No Apple, Google, AT&T Love at FCC

- Bartz "Boatloads of Money" Comment Blown Out of Proportion
