Research in Motion went from a sleepy Canadian backwater to the world's most innovative and fastest growing phone company in no time. Now, with its Blackberry business all but stalled, the company's future has never looked more uncertain.

Like rats leaving a sinking ship, Microsoft lost its 4th senior executive recently. Bob Muglia, head of the software maker’s server and tools division, will leave this summer because Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer decided the unit needed new leadership. However Muglia took over the division in October 2005 and the business’s revenue rose more than 50 percent under his watch. It accounted for 24 percent of Microsoft’s total sales in the year ended in June, making it the third-largest division. Has Ballmer just gone balmy with this firing ?

Almost half of large companies expected to cut IT spending
Many large companies, especially those in the financial services, utilities and telecommunications industries, have cut their technology budgets this year because of the economic slowdown.
In a report released Tuesday, Forrester Research found that 43% of large U.S. and European businesses it surveyed have cut their overall spending on technology products and services in 2008. Some companies, meanwhile, have put discretionary spending on hold and others are planning to negotiate lower rates for information-technology services.
