The Big G Apps Continue to Create Corporate "Kumbayas" - plus my selection of links for the day

So, it's time for yet another look at the best of the web. I've found some interesting links on Google, Samsung and Facebook.

Right, let's see who's been talking about Google? It was www.webpronews.com with their blog post entitled Google Apps Continue to Create Corporate "Kumbayas".

Google
Google: also known as The Big G

.

What did they say about Google? They said:
The Roche Group, one of the world's leading research-focused healthcare groups has joined the Congregation of other corporations singing praises for Google Apps as the solution to their communication and collaboration problems. The problem for the Roche Group was how to enable their more than 90,000 employees in over 140 countries to communicate and collaborate more effectively from virtually anywhere in the world
and went on to say
The company also had additional problems from having two different e-mail and calendaring platforms which caused platform inoperability issues and a tremendous obstacle for collaboration


Next it's a site that's been writing about Samsung - Samsung Board has approved the Spin-off of LCD businesses and operations.

They wrote:
Samsung Electronics' Board of Directors has approved the separation of LCD businesses and operations
... interesting ...
The separated corporation will be launched by the company as Samsung Display Company Ltd. on 1 April. This new corporation will be started with a capital of 750 billion won ($668 million)


To finish we have Student who Hacked into Facebook Employee Account Gets Jail Time [VIDEO] from mashable.com, focussing on Facebook. They had some interesting points to make, particularly
A 26-year-old software development student will spend eight months in jail for hacking Facebook, which his judge said could have been "utterly disastrous" for the company
and
Glenn Mangham hacked a Facebook employee's account last spring from his parents' home in Britain. He gained access to valuable intellectual property, although he didn't sell the information.
