BT has announced today that it will be setting up a global operations center in Gurgaon, India, employing 300 locals and joining similar centers in Hungary, China, and Brazil in the global telecom powerhouse's off-shoring operations. BT has previously outsourced development work to Indian firms but this is their first foray into telecom operations on the sub-continent.
The move also joins a growing trend, which seems to be feeding off itself, for multi-national firms to use their India-based off-shore operations to serve not only European and North American outsourcing needs, but also to provide services to other customers within India.

That thing is the new operating system, Singularity, released recently to Codeplex by Microsoft Research.
Singularity is not intended as a Windows 7 precursor or in fact as a "true" Microsoft operating system at all; ins... more

So hinted Apple CFO Pete Oppenheimer yesterday during a Morgan Stanley technology webcast, according to CIO Magazine.
From the article:"Tomorrow we're going to talk a bit about the iPhone in the enterprise at our event on campus," said Peter Oppenheimer, chief financial officer of Apple, via a webcast of the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference.
