Egyptian activist creates image issues for Google
SAN FRANCISCO - A Google Inc <GOOG.O> executive who has become a hero of the Egyptian revolution is public relations gold for the Internet power, but analysts say the company must be careful not to overplay its hand. Google marketing executive Wael Ghonim became the public face of the uprising that led to President Hosni Mubarak handing power to the army on Friday.
Activision says sharper focus will pay off

Assange lawyer says Swedish PM prejudices case
LONDON - A lawyer for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange accused Sweden's prime minister on Friday of damaging his client's chances of a fair trial for alleged sex crimes by portraying him as "public enemy number one."

Nokia surrenders and enlists Microsoft in smartphone war
LONDON/SEATTLE - Nokia's <NOK1V.HE> last-ditch attempt to catch up with Google and Apple by teaming up with Microsoft Corp <MSFT.O> puts them back on the smartphone map, but gives rivals plenty of time to try and widen their lead. Shares of the world's largest cellphone maker plunged 14 percent on fears the decision by new chief executive Stephen Elop to throw in the towel and use Microsoft's Windows Phone software will hammer margins and weaken its position during a tumultuous transition.
Micron upbeat on DRAM and NAND memory prices
SAN FRANCISCO - Micron Technology <MU.O>, the top U.S. maker of memory chips for computers, forecast favorable trends including an uptick in contract prices for DRAM as small players are forced out of the capital intensive industry.

Telus profit surges on data and wireless revenue
TORONTO - Telus Corp <T.TO> posted a 46 percent jump in quarterly profit on Friday, driven largely by strong data and wireless revenue, the Canadian telecoms company said, as it pushes ahead with its Internet television service. But stiff competition in the wireless sector, which provides about half the Vancouver-based company's revenue, meant Telus failed to sign up as many new customers as analysts expected.
