Welcome to the morning edition of the iTnewswire.

This morning, CIOs should approach organisational mergers, acquisitions and divestments (MA&Ds) as opportunities to strengthen IT assets and boost business profitability, Gartner has urged.

Venture capitalists invested US$1 billion more in the technology sector in the first half of the year than in the same period last year, and have shown a particular interest in digital technology for the home, a research firm has said.

The US attorney’s office said yesterday that a Florida man has been charged in federal court with hacking into two computer systems as part of establishing a bot network from which he launched a denial of service (DoS) attack on computer servers managed by Akamai Technologies.

Heavy users of instant messaging software are being paid to place advertising text in their user names by a company in China.

A wireless rabbit computer peripheral has been causing a stir of excitement on social networking sites.

Has a greater than usual slice of venture capital come your way recently? Are M&As an opportunity or organisational nightmare? Mail your comments.
