Google pledges quest for tighter privacy controls
JERUSALEM - Google Inc is "building stronger controls" to safeguard privacy, a senior executive said on Tuesday after the search engine giant's admission to inadvertently gathering emails and passwords across the globe. Peter Fleischer, Google's global privacy counsel, told reporters at a conference on Internet security he was "puzzled" that users had made scant use of privacy controls made available on the site months ago, and Google would try to improve them.
Microsoft profit seen higher, iPad looms
SEATTLE - Microsoft Corp <MSFT.O> is expected to report a big jump in earnings on Thursday, helped by the newest versions of its lucrative Office software and the blockbuster Halo game; but short- and long-term issues with its core Windows franchise nag at investors. The world's largest software company has sold a record-breaking 240 million Windows 7 operating system licenses in the year since launch. But lower-than-expected personal computer sales are restricting growth, and some worry that its flagship product is under threat from Apple Inc's <AAPL.O> iPad and a longer-term shift to mobile computing.
Shaun White wheels into new video game territory
NEW YORK, Oct 26 - Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist snowboarder Shaun White is turning away from the slopes and concentrating on skateboarding -- in a new video game. It is new video turf for White, the freckled, carrot-topped champion snowboarder who was dubbed "the red tomato," early in his career, and who is best known for his double McTwist on the half-pipe.
U.S. Army sees video to troop cell phones in 2 years
WASHINGTON as the main means for disseminating video images to the battlefield, a big program that is still under development and should be fielded in 2014, said Tim Owings, deputy program manager for Army unmanned aerial systems.
Departing Microsoft visionary Ray Ozzie sees "post-PC" world
SEATTLE - Microsoft Corp's <MSFT.O> resident visionary and departing software chief has urged the company to move on from its Windows and Office roots and imagine a "post-PC world" of simple, global Web devices. Five years after Ray Ozzie made his mark with his "Internet Services Disruption" memo -- regarded as Microsoft's manifesto for Internet-based "cloud computing" -- he is again calling on the software giant to envision a future where simplicity is key.
Sony rally shortlived as speculation dismissed
TOKYO - Shares of Sony Corp <6758.T> <SME.N> rose nearly 3 percent at one point on Tuesday, but later retreated as analysts dismissed speculation that the electronics maker could be an acquisition target of Apple Inc <AAPL.O>. Helping to spark the speculation was a Saturday report in Barron's that said cash-rich Apple could be contemplating a big acquisition and noted speculation about Adobe <ADBE.O>, Sony and Disney <DIS.N> as potential targets.
Online travel companies unify to oppose Google/ITA deal
WASHINGTON - Several online travel companies are combining forces to fight search giant Google's <GOOG.O> proposed $700 million acquisition of airline ticketing software company ITA Software Inc, saying the deal would lead to higher prices and less innovation in the travel sector. Online travel companies Expedia Inc <EXPE.O>; Kayak.com; Sabre Holdings, which runs Travelocity; and Farelogix Inc formed a coalition called FairSearch.org that is asking the Justice Department to challenge the deal, the new group said.
Sprint's Tab is cheaper but requires a contract
NEW YORK - Sprint Nextel <S.N> plans to sell iPad rival, the Galaxy Tab from Samsung Electronics <005930.KS> for a third less than the tablet computer's price tag at Verizon Wireless but, the offer still comes with a catch that at least one analyst said would limit sales. On November 14 Sprint, the No. 4 U.S. mobile service will kick of sales for $400 for the Tab, which is seen as the most credible competitor so far to Apple Inc's <AAPL.O> popular iPad, which has on sale for $630 since earlier this year.
Intel opens first chip plant in China
TAIPEI - Chip heavyweight Intel Corp <INTC.O> opened its first chip plant in China on Tuesday in a move that said could help boost China's economy, several years after the U.S. firm first announced the $2.5 billion project. "For 25 years now, Intel has been investing and innovating in China with China and for China," Chief Executive Officer Paul Otellini said in a statement.
Garmin and Asustek in new phone cooperation
BANGALORE/TAIPEI - U.S.-based Garmin <GRMN.O> and Taiwan's Asustek <2357.TW> announced new cooperation strategies on mobile phones on Tuesday, with Asustek launching its own-brand smartphones from next year. Asustek, which had been selling smartphones under the Garmin-Asus brand since early 2009, will not introduce new co-branded handset models in the future, while Asustek's new Android-based phones will use Garmin's navigation software.
