Today's Story Highlights

Mobile Wallets as Credit Card Killers
Years have spent trying to oust the credit card as the ultimate payment
method. Publications and pundits have been quick to hail new
technologies as "credit card-killers," and they're not without
justification. The credit card has lost whatever futuristic luster it
may have once had. Magnetic stripes wear out, plastic snaps in half, and
the incessant manual inputting of 16-digit numbers becomes tiresome.

The Easiest Path to CRM Failure
One of the pitches sales reps selling CRM make the mistake of dropping
into conversations is that it's easy to use. "Users can practically
train themselves, it's so intuitive! Just start clicking! And did we
tell you -- we just introduced a new UI to improve the UX!" It's a line
of discussion that really does CRM a disservice. Yes, today's
applications are easier to use -- but there's a "but."

RHEL 7 Atomic Host Bolsters Container Security
Red Hat last week made Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Atomic Host generally
available, following a four-month live beta test. "The beta release was
very successful," said Lars Herrmann, senior director of product
strategy at Red Hat. Feedback from customers and partners "helped us
refine several features and tools" for the GA version. Atomic Host is a
lean OS designed to run Docker containers.

Big Delay Waylays Big iPad
Apple watchers likely will have to wait until September to see if the
rumors about a bigger iPad are true. Apple suppliers reportedly have
been told that production of the rumored 12.9-inch iPad Pro won't ramp
up until the second half of this year. Rumors about a bigger iPad have
been in circulation for months, fueling expectations that Apple would
announce the so-called iPad Pro this quarter.
