Look ma! iOS apps running on the BlackBerry PlayBook!
Posted by VentureBeat
Here’s something that will likely annoy Apple to no end: one intrepid developer has managed to get iOS apps running on RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook tablet.
A developer calling themselves “businesscat2000″ posted a series of videos to the CrackBerry forums over the weekend, showing off iOS aps like Super Monkey Ball, Tom Tom, and more running on the PlayBook. Understandably skeptical, Kevin Michaluk at CrackBerry eventually pressed the dev for proof, who validated his work by performing some live tests on iOS-only apps.
Michaluk had the developer write out “Hi CrackBerry” on the SketchBook Mobile iOS app, as well as run the iPhone app for the site iMore. By su[...]

Posted by PCWorld
Google may soon bring business-to-business "social ads" to its Google+ social networking platform, according to a recent job listing for a product marketing manager for social ads launch marketing.
Google+ does not currently include any advertising. The company does deliver personalized advertising to users across its properties. Social advertising, however, generally refers to ads that are served to users based on their social contacts' activities on Google+.

Dell to cut $2B in costs over 3 years, will pay out dividend
Posted by VentureBeat
No. 3 PC maker Dell plans to cut more than $2 billion in spending during the next three years as it seeks to focus on making data-center equipment, Bloomberg reports.
The company intends to trim costs by cutting down its supply chain and sales support staff. No doubt other types of job cuts will be included in the mix.

To potentially help with lackluster investor demand, Dell also said it would offer a dividend with its s[...]
