Fair enough on the headline. However, here's what follows: "In what is perhaps the most boring piece of tech news to come out of this week, German software giant SAP has today announced that it will buy the US-based SuccessFactors, a company that “helps organizations align strategy with objectives and manage people performance to ensure execution & results,” IN THE CLOUD, OF COURSE."

Seriously, TechCrunch? A company that's crucial to many peoples' and companies' fulfilment systems buys another one for a serious amount of (putative) money - it's a shares, not cash, deal - and you call it a snooze? (via @ciaranj on Twitter)

"This past January, upon seeing a demo of IntoNow, we noted that the media check-in game just changed. Apparently, Yahoo agreed — they’ve just acquired the company for something in the range of $20 to $30 million, sources with knowledge of the deal tell us."
