Salesforce to become an all-Mac shop
Customer relationship management software shop Salesforce's contract with Dell is about to run out, and the company has decided not to renew it. Instead, the company will be outfitting everyone one of their 4,000 employees with a brand new Macintosh, according to an anonymous tipster cited by Alex Curylo. The tipster explains:And why, you ask, Security! The resources it takes to defend against all the stuff the baddies throw at a PC, it's just cheaper/easier to pay a few bucks more for a Mac and not have any of those issues.
While that excuse makes some rational sense, I'm thinking there's also some regional chauvinism at work with Salesforce's earlier move to publicly side with Google — in other words, score another point for Team Valley against Team Redmond. (Photo by Andrew) -

Salesforce's slick boss spins a Time reporter
"Flowers can sway me," Penelope Trunk writes on her blog. The first-time Time Magazine reporter set up a photo op with Salesforce's volunteer program and an interview with CEO Marc Benioff. The press-battering exec blew off the interview. As Trunk missed her deadline, she took out her rage on Salesforce's publicist. But she soon got a helpful phone message from Benioff giving her "every quote I could need." It worked. Benioff didn't have to sit through any actual questions but got to recite company lines; Trunk got an easy puff piece finished; and after Trunk sent the story in, Benioff sent her a bouquet. What a charmer. If only every journalist were so easily tractable. (Flowers: M Eriksson) -
