SAN FRANCISCO - Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said the Internet social network will roll out new privacy settings for its more than 400 million users, amid growing concerns that the company is pushing users to make more of their personal data public.

SEOUL/TOKYO - Just days after unveiling a Sony-branded Internet TV with Google, Sony's chief executive is set to meet rival Samsung Electronics <005930.KS>, for possible alliances, as the Japanese consumer electronics maker aims to turn its TV business profitable with aggressive sales targets.

Google tries where others failed: shaking up TV biz
 
NEW YORK - Google TV, a service that will bring the Web to television screens, is likely to create more headaches for broadcast and cable executives already concerned with being sidelined by free online video shows on computers. At stake are billions of dollars in advertising spending, a prospect that has enticed a number of others, including Apple Inc <AAPL.O>, Yahoo Inc <YHOO.O> and Microsoft Corp <MSFT.O>, to take a stab at converting the TV set into a full interactive device on a large scale.
 
Google gets U.S. antitrust OK on AdMob buy
 
WASHINGTON - Google Inc <GOOG.O> has won U.S. approval to buy mobile advertising rival AdMob, after months of delay and rumor that the No. 1 Internet search engine was headed for a court fight with government officials over the $750 million transaction. The Federal Trade Commission's decision followed unusually public comments by app developers -- whose software for mobile devices are often supported or subsidized by advertising -- that the agency's staff seemed determined to challenge the deal.
 
Sprint shares could rise on 4G phone: Barron's
 
NEW YORK - Shares of Sprint Nextel <S.N> could rise to about $6 a share, helped by the introduction of a mobile phone that works on the carrier's new high-speed network, according to business weekly Barron's. The newspaper said in its May 24 edition that Sprint's total subscriber base could grow as it takes the lead with a phone that runs on its "4G" network, which it promises will deliver speeds up to 10 times faster than existing networks. Sprint's new phone, called the Evo 4G, goes on sale next month.
 
HP expands recall of laptops for fire hazard

The commission said that since an initial recall in May 2009, HP has received additional reports of overheated and ruptured batteries, leading it to expand its recall to include more models.
 
Google premieres Web television gamble
 
SAN FRANCISCO - Web search king Google Inc <GOOG.O> on Thursday showed off a risky attempt to marry the Web to television and reach the $70 billion TV advertising market, chasing a dream that has eluded even archrival Apple Inc. Developers at a conference applauded "Google TV," and a slew of tech industry titans, including microchip maker Intel Corp <INTC.O> and TV maker Sony Corp <6758.T>, sent their chief executives to announce that they had joined the project and that TV sets would be ready in time for Christmas buying.
