Why more companies want to digitize your wallet; IBM eyeing RIM’s enterprise services?

DowninthedumpsVille: Morale sinking at Zynga along with stock drop [ALLTHINGSD]

Now it appears that the long hours and taxing work environment are causing the inevitable — some are deciding to leave, especially as shares trade 70 percent lower than the company’s public offering. Several sources at other companies say they’ve started seeing a “flood of resumes” in recent weeks from Zynga developers looking for jobs or trying to raise capital.
