Key Pink Floyd albums drop from digital market
NEW YORK - If you're looking to buy the classic Pink Floyd albums "The Wall" or "Animals" as digital downloads, you're out of luck. Those albums as well as other post-"Dark Side of the Moon" titles like "Wish You Were Here" and "The Final Cut" -- all originally released on Columbia Records but distributed by EMI since 2000 -- have been pulled from digital retailers like iTunes and Amazon's MP3 store because EMI's contract covering those albums expired June 30.

Germany to keep close eye on Google "Street View"
BERLIN - The German government said on Wednesday it will scrutinize Google's promise to respect privacy requests by letting people opt out of its "Street View" mapping system and that it would be ready to intervene if necessary.
