This follows 15,000 layoffs announced earlier this year in its microelectronics and technology-services businesses. Adding to its financial woes, IBM said last month that it paid an additional $397 million to PricewaterhouseCoopers -- on top of an initial $3.5 billion -- due to revaluation of some PwC assets. >>READ the full story: http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=13100504 MORE INFO: Read SearchDomino.com's special report on Domino careers. http://searchdomino.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid4_gci914341,00.html Learn how to make due with your less-than-perfect job. http://searchdomino.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid4_gci896418,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= OTHER HEADLINES The headlines below and others are available on our news page. >> Full Stories: http://searchdomino.techtarget.com/news/ IBM GETS SERVER ACT TOGETHER | CNET IBM's once struggling server line is in the midst of a comeback.

KAPOR UNCOVERING SEARCH ENGINE MYSTERIES | CNET Lotus founder Mitch Kapor is involved with a new project aiming to improve the process of finding useful, noncommercial information on the Web. Nutch.org is dedicated to developing software for locating documents online, but promises not to cloak its search query formulas like popular search engines such as Yahoo, Google and MSN.

The Rolling Stones have started up a deal with RealNetworks Inc., and now wild horses couldn't drag Mick and Keith from cyberspace. RealNetworks' Rhapsody online music service will offer the Stones' post-1970 catalog for download, including classic albums like "Sticky Fingers," "Exile on Main Street" and "Some Girls." But don't expect any "Satisfaction." There are some legal kinks to straighten out with the Stones' earlier stuff before it's available.
