1. Spotlight Feature: E-Commerce Web Services: Better, Faster, Cheaper
------------------------------------------------------------
Typically, new technologies tend to promise more than they deliver. That
has not been the case with Web services, which are being integrated into
just about every new e-commerce application. "Support for Web services
has come from application vendors, application development tool
suppliers and middleware vendors," said Jason Bloomberg, a managing
partner with market research firm ZapThink.

2. Editor's Pick: SAP's Mobile Awakening
------------------------------------------------------------
SAP and Research In Motion announced last week that they were partnering
to develop a native BlackBerry client to link to SAP CRM, and then,
eventually, to the firm's other business applications. The move is a no
brainer for SAP, writes Vinnie Mirchandani, an ex-Gartner analyst and
founder of the advisory firm Deal Architect.

3. Readers' Pick: Will Microsoft Ask Facebook to Dance?
------------------------------------------------------------
The long list of companies Microsoft might acquire post-Microhoo
includes such outré possibilities as Netflix, Cisco and Salesforce.com.
Facebook is also on that list -- but its potential as a Microsoft
acquisition target is beginning to look less unlikely. In fact, it's
looking downright plausible. Rumor has it Microsoft has already
approached the social networking site about a possible sale.

4. Consumer Highlight: Yahoo Guides Searchers Through Web Minefield
------------------------------------------------------------
Yahoo is working with Web security technology specialist McAfee to alert
users about potentially risky Web sites. The companies launched the beta
version of the SearchScan service on Tuesday. Now, Yahoo users will see
red exclamation points and warnings next to search results McAfee has
identified as offering potentially dangerous downloads, unsolicited e-
mails or browser exploits.

5. Hot Topic: Comcast Considers Pinching Pipes on Broadband Plans
------------------------------------------------------------
In a move sure to renew debate over how broadband access should be sold,
Comcast is reportedly mulling a cap on how much data a customer buying
its basic high-speed Internet access package can use each month.
Comcast, the No. 2 provider of high-speed Web access in the U.S., would
establish a preset monthly data usage level and then charge a fee for
users who exceed that level.
