The spoils of failure: Former RIM co-CEOs net $12M after stepping down
Posted by VentureBeat
While RIM can’t seem to do anything right as of late, the company has apparently�mastered the art of the exit payout.
Just ask former RIM co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie, who are set to receive a combined payout of $12 million for agreeing to step down, The Globe and Mail reports.
The lion’s share of that cash goes to Balsillie, who nets $7.9 million in so-called “entitlements”. Lazaridis, who still serves on the RIM board as vice-chairman, gets $3.9 million, not to mention the�continued�use of a company car and private driver.
But does RIM even have $12 million left?
With Lazaridis�and�Balsillie�at the helm,�RIM’s stock value has plunged from $150 to $[...]

Oracle: Java 7 Auto-update Could Ding E-Business Suite Installs
Posted by PCWorld
Oracle has issued an "urgent bulletin" asking desktop administrators to immediately turn off the Java Runtime Environment auto-update option "for all Windows end-user desktops connecting to Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i, 12.0, and 12.1" due to a critical incompatibility.
The auto-update process to JRE 7 will happen as soon as July 3, but right now, Oracle's Forms development toolkit isn't compatible with Java 7, Oracle said in an official blog post. In addition, it said, the E-Business Suite itself has not been certified for Java 7.
Therefore, "Oracle E-Business Suite functionality based on Forms -- e.g. Financials -- will stop working if you upgrade to JRE 7," the post states.

AOL shuttering resume site Emurse on July 15
Posted by VentureBeat
Emurse, a company in the increasingly hot recruiting and job search industry, is being shuttered by AOL. AOL bought the online resume site in mid 2009, but has done effectively nothing with the service, and now as part of the company’s increasing attempts to narrowly focus where it can add value, is shutting it down.
Emurse allowed users to post resumes online in a variety of different formats, and then track who viewed them. Today, the site displays this message at the top:
“The Emurse website will be sunset on July 15, 2012. Please make sure to retrieve any resumes or data from the site no later than July 15, 2012. If you would like to use a similar tool to assist in your job s[...]
