It pools all of these into the namesake single app and keeps the footprint down to just 150K while only loading both the local and cloud-based d... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/24/microsoft.oneapp/ Mon, 24 Aug 2009 20:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/05/moto.rival.at.telus/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0908/motorival.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Telus this morning became only the second North American carrier to adopt the Motorola Rival on its network.

Rather than buy out all of Yahoo or else strike a license deal, Microsoft will buy Yahoo's core search business and may complete a transaction as early as this week.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/19/ms.yahoo.search.buy.leak/ Mon, 19 May 2008 12:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/12/blackberry.windows.live/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0805/blackberrybold-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Research in Motion today continued a string of announcements for its Wireless Enterprise Symposium with word that it will start offering Microsoft's key Windows Live services on its smartphones.
