Internet road rules near FCC vote
WASHINGTON - A controversial proposal for Internet traffic rules that would allow providers to ration access to their networks is scheduled to come before communications regulators for a vote on Tuesday. The rules would ban high-speed Internet providers like Comcast Corp <CMCSA.O> and Verizon Communications <VZ.N> from blocking lawful traffic, but are expected to acknowledge their need to manage network congestion and possibly charge consumers based on Internet usage.
Status update: Facebook founder "friends" new image
SAN FRANCISCO - At a conference six months ago, Facebook's 26-year-old chief executive was literally dripping in sweat as he fielded tough questions about his company's privacy practices and a forthcoming movie portraying him as manipulative and arrogant.

Google rebuffs Connecticut over Street View request
WASHINGTON - Google Inc <GOOG.O> has told the Connecticut attorney general's office that it will not comply with its requests for information about its Street View cars collecting personal information.

Ingram Micro sees more Android, iPhones at work
LOS ANGELES - Smartphones such as Google Inc's <GOOG.O> Android-based devices and Apple Inc's <AAPL.O> iPhone are poised to become popular business tools, said an executive at the world's biggest technology distributor.

Analysis: RIM's results fail to dispel nagging doubts
TORONTO - It seems there is little Research In Motion <RIM.TO> can do these days to impress analysts convinced that Apple <AAPL.O> and Google <GOOG.O> will eventually dominate the booming smartphone and tablet markets.

Tech spend revival boosts Oracle, Accenture, RIM
NEW YORK - Wall Street may have underestimated a recovery in corporate spending, judging by stronger-than-expected results and outlooks from business software maker Oracle Corp <ORCL.O> and technology services firm Accenture Plc <ACN.N>.

Analysis: Software M&A heats up as firms battle budget squeeze
LONDON - Big-name technology firms will compete to acquire niche software groups in 2011 as part of a growth plan they hope will cater to recession-hit clients clamoring for a wider range of services.
