IT PRO Podcast: Microsoft and Yahoo still chatting...
This week, we look at the latest developments in the Yahoo-Microsoft saga, lie detection software, solid-state storage and whether what goes in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Microsoft could still be looking to strike a deal with Yahoo, perhaps over search technology. But what are the prospects for Yahoo now an acquisition appears to be off the cards?
We also discuss services for SMEs, software that can tell if you are lying when you call in sick, and the latest on enterprise storage and data management from the EMC World conference in Las Vegas.
