o Palo Alto-Based HPE and CSC Complete Merger to Form DXC Technology
Palo Alto, Calif. -- Nearly a year after the megadeal was first announced, technology services giant CSC said Monday it has completed its merger with the Enterprise Services division of Palo Alto-based HP Enterprise to form a new company called DXC Technology. The combination creates a pure-play IT services giant expected to have approximately $26 billion in annual revenue and more than 5,000 clients. DXC, based in McLean, Va. with major operations in Palo Alto, now is trading on the New York Stock Exchange under symbol "DXC," and immediately becomes a member of the S&P 500 index. Shareholders of CSC and HPE each own about 50% of the combined company, which will be led by Mike Lawrie, the former chairman, president and CEO of CSC. Meg Whitman, HPE's president and CEO, will join the company's board of directors.

San Jose, Calif. -- Despite ranking 35th in the U.S. in population, San Jose is second in the nation when it comes to tech sector employment, according to CompTIA's newly released Cyberstates 2017 report. San Jose, which for the study also included Sunnyvale and Santa Clara, has an estimated 310,900 tech workers, trailing only New York (392,400). It also by far leads the nation with 29.6% of its overall employees working in tech, with San Francisco ranking third at 11.5%. And San Jose and San Francisco rank 1-2 in average annual tech sector wages, at $217,260 and $168,920, respectively.

o Android Overtakes Windows for First Time as World's Most Popular OS
San Francisco -- For the first time, Google's Android has overtaken Microsoft Windows as the world's most popular operating system (OS) in terms of total Internet usage across desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile combined, according to new research from web analytics firm StatCounter. In March, Android topped the worldwide OS Internet usage market share with 37.93%, putting it marginally ahead of Windows (37.91%). "This is a milestone in technology history and the end of an era," said StatCounter CEO Aodhan Cullen. "It marks the end of Microsoft's leadership worldwide of the OS market, which it has held since the 1980s. It also represents a major breakthrough for Android, which held just 2.4% of global internet usage share only five years ago." Cullen said that main drivers of the turnaround were growth of smartphones to access the Internet, a decline in sales of traditional PCs and the impact of Asia on the global market. Still, Windows dominates the worldwide OS desktop market (PC and laptop) with an 84% Internet usage share in March.

> The Shifting Sands of Employee Motivation
The old "if-then motivators" of giving bonuses for the achievement of goals no longer work. Work has become too complex and is changing too rapidly for such simple formulas to be relevant and to motivate performance. Here, we summarize research on shifts in employee motivators.
