AAPL: More on Apple's (AAPL -1.3%) shareholder...

1:08 PM More on Apple's (AAPL -1.3%) shareholder meeting: With rumors of iWatches and new set-tops swirling around, Tim Cook hints at new products. "Obviously we're looking at new categories -- we don't talk about them, but we're looking at them." Cook on Android's share gains: "There's a button or two we could press to make the most [devices] .... That would not be good for Apple." He boasts over half of Chinese/Brazilian iPad buyers are new Apple customers, and still thinks David Einhorn's suit is "silly." (live blog) Read comments

AAPL: Though it pulled Prop. 2 after David Einhorn...

12:41 PM Though it pulled Prop. 2 after David Einhorn scored an injunction, Apple (AAPL -0.5%) is still committed to requiring shareholder approval for issuing preferred stock, the company states at its shareholder meeting. Also, CalPERS says it would have voted for Prop. 2 if it had the chance. A proposal granting shareholders an advisory vote on exec. compensation has been approved, while one requiring execs to keep 33% of their stock until retirement has been shot down. Doug Kass might be disappointed to learn no stock split has been announced (or perhaps not). (live blog) Read comments

Salesforce.com's New Message: It's The Customer, Stupid
Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff took the stage at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York on Tuesday and floated a new "become a customer company" tagline. It seems like a pretty obvious message coming from a firm with the stock symbol "CRM." The question is whether this new spin will help Salesforce.com maintain the heady, 30 percent-plus growth rates it has reported in recent years.

Benioff's one-and-a-half hour keynote on being customer-centric remixed many of the themes shared at Dreamforce in September 2012. But the high notes have changed. Benioff kept returning to the theme of staying connected with customers, which elevated the importance of all things mobile. Facebook, Twitter, and all things social still got plenty of mentions, but it was a far cry from the "become a social enterprise" appeal of recent years.

What's behind Salesforce.com's new 'customer company' spin? For starters, the previous social-centric message was not translating into sales.

COMMENTARY
Gartner Magic Quadrant Looks Beyond Business Intelligence
By Doug Henschen
Gartner sees the maturation path of data-driven companies as moving from descriptive reports and queries that detail current conditions to diagnostic analyses and visualizations that reveal why performance lagged in some areas and excelled in others. The next step up is to predictive analytics that tell you where things are headed and, finally, on to prescriptive analytics that guide decisions for optimum performance.

Automation Is Good For The Business And IT's Career Prospects
By Jasmine McTigue
Conventional wisdom says automation is one of those "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" projects that, for the lucky few who can buy in, will eventually make in-house IT obsolete. But conventional wisdom is wrong: Automation is affordable, and it's not going cost you your job.

Amazon Unlikely To Spin Off AWS Cloud Unit
By Charles Babcock
Amazon Web Services has always been different from its parent, Amazon.com. The latter, of course, is a retail operation that generated a mammoth $61.1 billion in sales in 2012. AWS, on the other hand, is a new type of wholesaler, distributing compute cycles from cloud data centers at rock-bottom prices and generating a more modest estimated $2.1 billion in sales. So will these two dissimilar businesses remain under the same roof forever?

"As Glenn O'Donnell said, 'Be The Automator and not the Automated!' If you don't understand the benefits of IT Automation for your job, you better learn about it, or someone else will take your place! After all, you need someone to create, manage and operate these tools, so get the necessary skills to do your job better and more efficiently. The new IT guy is not just a system or command line expert; he should be able to understand business goals, coordinate between IT and business needs, and create cross-organization processes to build the right solutions!"
