Craigslist.com blocks access to adult services ads
LOS ANGELES - Craigslist.com has dropped its "adult services" listings, which have become the target of U.S. state attorneys general who say the much-visited online classified ad site is not doing enough to quash prostitution.

U.S. and Israel spying behind BlackBerry woe: Dubai police
DUBAI - Concerns over Israeli access to BlackBerry data, and the use of the device by the United States to spy on the United Arab Emirates are behind the Gulf state's moves to curb the smartphone, Dubai's police chief said.

Apple TV could help Netflix growth
LOS ANGELES - Shares in Netflix Inc <NFLX.O> neared their all-time high on Thursday, after Apple Inc <AAPL.O> said that the company's streaming video service would be added to a new version of Apple TV.

Verizon unveils prepaid option for smartphones
NEW YORK - Verizon Wireless on Thursday started giving smartphone users the option of paying for calls in advance instead of committing to long-term contracts, a move that pits it directly against rivals like Leap Wireless <LEAP.O>.

Panasonic aiming for half of Europe's 3D TV market
BERLIN - Panasonic Corp <6752.T> is aiming to grab a 50 percent share of the European 3D television market this year as demand outstrips expectations and the technology wins converts worldwide, its head of Europe said on Thursday. The company expects sales of 3D televisions to generate 15-20 percent of its revenue in Europe this year, Laurent Abadie told Reuters in an interview ahead of the start of consumer electronics trade show IFA in Berlin.
Apple TV a first step for more ambitious plans?
LOS ANGELES - Critics hoping for more from Apple Inc's <AAPL.O> Web-to-TV plans -- a device, say, that would revolutionize living room entertainment the way the iPad changed tablet computing -- may just need to wait a bit longer. Shortly after Apple unveiled its latest Apple TV product on Wednesday, complaints surfaced from some circles that the company had failed to live up to its own high standards. The device is smaller and cheaper than the one it brought out in 2006, but it also has shortcomings.
