2 - - What's New @ Fujitsu: Web page updates from Fujitsu
SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/23/09 -- What: Fujitsu will demonstrate how to optimize business process improvement initiatives using its industry-leading Automated Process Discovery service and Interstage(R) Business Process Manager at this year's Gartner Business Process Management Summit.
Based on the Fujitsu Business Process Management by Evidence (BPM-e) process mapping and analysis tool, the Automated Process Discovery service quickly reconstructs real-world processes based on factual information, creating a dynamic diagram that can move from high level to detail. Designed for companies embarking on process improvement and governance initiatives, the service helps enterprises visualize and optimize complex processes. It illuminates exposure to compliance failure, fraud, and other legal and efficiency issues lying hidden in a company's operational workflows. The cost-effective service eliminates the months of time and labor-intensive exploration organizations typically require and immediately reveals what often remains completely invisible even after months of work. A demonstration of Fujitsu's Automated Process Discovery offering and Interstage Business Process Manager Version 10 will be available at Fujitsu booth #3.

Fujitsu Lifebook N7010 review
Are two screens better than one for the Fujitsu Lifebook N7010 laptop?One screen wasn't enough for Fujitsu. The company just had to tack on a second, smaller screen and create a sort of odd mashup with its Fujitsu Lifebook N7010 laptop. The main screen is a fairly crisp 16in, 16:9 aspect-ratio screen (new for the LifeBook maker). The other panel is a 4in touchscreen that serves as a shortcut-heavy zone. Interesting, yes - but does that tiny secondary screen make the Fujitsu Lifebook N7010 worth the US $1,500 asking price (we don't yet have UK pricing)?

Should I get an HP or Fujitsu tablet PC for my studies?
Mar 23, 2009 -- Question on Notebooks: I want to buy a tablet PC for my studies, but I do not need great graphics or gaming capabilities. Both the HP TouchSmart tx2 and Fujitsu T1010 laptops weigh more than 2kg (I know that is quite heavy for a tablet PC).

Japan stimulus plan may breach ¥10 trillion
23 March 2009 -- Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso’s next stimulus package may need to exceed ¥10 trillion ($104 billion) to bolster an economy heading for its worst recession since World War II, analysts said. Finance Minister Kaoru Yosano said yesterday that a new package of as much as ¥20 trillion is “not out of line” after the economy contracted at the fastest pace in more than 30 years last quarter.

Finally Time for an E-Book?
March 23, 2009 --Implications: Why buy an e-reader when I can use my Palm Treo for reading e-books. Sure it has a small screen but I already have it. It is convenient and portable. Previous e-readers were good for reading text but paperbacks were easy to carry around, and a lot cheaper. With a color display, the e-reader value proposition increases. It may now succeed because many the books that rely on color for illustrative content are now available.http://www.glgroup.com/News/Finally-Time-for-an-E-Book--36153.html
Rivals say IBM stifles competition to mainframes
By Ashlee Vance - The New York Times - March 23, 2009 -- IBM has dominated the mainframe computer business since the category was created four decades ago. And it still gets about one-quarter of its $100 billion in annual revenue from sales, software, services, and financing related to the machines. So when an upstart, Platform Solutions in Sunnyvale, Calif., developed software that turned standard servers into systems that mimicked IBM's expensive mainframes, Big Blue fought back. After legal action failed to fend off the pipsqueak, IBM resorted to a bear hug: it bought Platform in July for $150 million. And then it promptly terminated the innovative product.
