Today’s theme is movers and shakers. How about some straight-up tech news for once? There’s a lot of interesting maneuvering going on right now, and since RWW doesn’t tend to report on rumors, this seems like a good opportunity to round up some of the stories we’re watching with interest.

For all we know, these could be major headlines tomorrow.
