Today's Story Highlights

Apple Bets Big on Bigger, Better iPad
Will size matter? That was the question in many minds on Wednesday, when
Apple introduced its new 12.9-inch iPad Pro tablet. "This is the iPad
Pro," announced Apple CEO Tim Cook before a cheering throng. "It's the
most capable and powerful iPad that we've ever created." Measured
diagonally, the new tablet has a 12.9-inch widescreen LED display with a
resolution of 51.6 million pixels.

Fear of Ad Blocking Could Lead to More Effective Advertising
Adblock Browser for Android re-emerged at the Google Play store on
Wednesday, after more than two years of banishment. It is also available
at the iTunes App Store. "The reason we were readmitted to the Play
store is that this app is different than the one that was kicked out.
This one is a browser. The previous one provided some blocking for in-
app ads," said Eyeo's Ben Williams.

T-Mobile's War on Data Hogs Is Everyone's Fight
Putting this burning issue on the front page is great. Everyone should
know the problems caused by wireless data thieves. The reason is simple.
Data hogs are threatening to spoil things for everyone. Yes, that means
for you and your business. Data hogs threaten T-Mobile's growth because
they spoil things for regular wireless data users. This is also a larger
problem for the entire industry.

The Tyranny of Spreadsheets
As a former sales and marketing guy, I am more than familiar with
spreadsheets as a not-so-good tool for managing the avalanche of data
generated by the front office, even before the big data craze. Name a
department or function in business and it's easy to find people using
spreadsheets to manage it -- often poorly, but through no fault of their
own.

Microsoft Recruits Dell, HP to Expand Enterprise Surface Area
Microsoft on Tuesday launched the Surface Enterprise Initiative, a
partnership program designed to encourage adoption of Windows 10 in the
enterprise. This follows a strong first month of general availability,
with 75 million devices already running the new operating system. First
in line to participate in the Surface Enterprise Initiative were Dell
and HP.
