This week the Insider is having an identity crisis. When we turned up at the office this morning we were alarmed to find that the simians had spent all night drawing up scam emails, some of which were rather convincing. You very nearly got one of those.

Once we had sent all of our bank details to their poor, widowed cousin in Nigeria we set about bringing you this, a round-up of all the key news that happened this week.

News
Firms are ready to accept enterprise 2.0 technologies
According to a survey by IDC IT managers are literally chomping at the bit to adopt new enterprise functionality, such as converged telecoms, and a bunch of social networking type things. We have something to tell IDC, take a look round the office. You see all those people on that Facebook thingy? Yeah, well that's yer 2.0 in the enterprise.

Palm drops Foleo phone companion
This has nothing to do with quality control testing, but a lot to do with the fact that Palm has shelved a device barely a year after announcing it. The firm will now focus on the development of new smartphones and its software platforms. So, potentially coming to a landfill near you, is the small laptop looking thing with a 10in screen and full-size keyboard. Shame.

More, more news
SP1 to lift Vista uptake
Microsoft is hoping that the service pack for Vista will kick-start enterprise adoption of the slow burning operating system. We recommend that the firm bundles it with some iron on transfers and maybe a flexi-disc. It's worth a try, Bill.

Breakthroughs brought down to size
James 'Woody' Woudhuysen read a book recently, it was probably by Dan Brown, but thankfully he hasn't seen fit to write about that just yet. Another book that he might have kept by the loo is Scott Berkun's The Myths of Innovation. The purchase may have been the result of a book shop mix-up on the day that Harry Potter came out, but who cares about that now? James says it is a breezy polemic. We think that if it is, he ought to put some cream on it.

Podcast:
James Murray and Phil Muncaster talk about a new initiative from Indian outsourcing provider Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which will see the firm move into the high-end services market.

Kewney: Potentially, I might have invented blogging
Apparently Guy Kewney has invented Java, pioneered the use of Segways at golfing events, and wrote the new testament. This week he claims to have invented blogging. Well, someone did. So why not Guy?

Labs blog
This week the underground folk played around with some stuff in a darkened room. Once HR had put a stop to all that nonsense they got on with the important act of actually doing something beneficial for the magazine. This is so rare, we figure it is worth drawing your attention to it.

Business Green blog
Firms are adopting green datacentre plans. Can't they just go with magnolia like the rest of us?

Sneak blog
Google, divorced fathers, Michael Dell, space exploration and Facebook. Do we really need to say anymore?
