Google says Apple rejected voice app for iPhone
 
WASHINGTON - Google Inc <GOOG.O> said Apple Inc <AAPL.O> rejected its Google Voice application for the popular iPhone, contradicting Apple's statement to regulators last month.

Technology in starring role at NY Fashion Week
 
NEW YORK - The Internet and advances in technology are transforming fashion, making it easier for designers to create collections and less expensive for them to show and sell their work, experts say.

Psychiatrists call for action on anorexia sites
 
LONDON - As the start of London Fashion Week reignites the debate over ultra-thin models, psychiatrists have called on the British government to act over the soaring numbers of pro-anorexia websites.

Lobby calls for EU scrutiny of Google book deal
 
BRUSSELS - EU regulators should look into the book settlement that Google <GOOG.O> reached with a group of U.S. writers and publishers last October because the deal will create a de facto monopoly, lobby group ICOMP said on Friday. Google's plan to digitize millions of books is aimed at resolving a lawsuit filed in 2005 by the Authors Guild. Critics say it will allow the U.S. Internet search-engine giant to dominate the digital book market in its infancy.

The lawsuit follows another lawsuit by Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis's other company, Joltid Ltd, related to eBay's sale of a 65 percent stake in Skype to a consortium including Index Ventures and Silver Lake for $1.9 billion.

Google revamps DoubleClick exchange
 
SAN FRANCISCO - Google Inc <GOOG.O> announced a major overhaul of the DoubleClick ad exchange it acquired last year, an important step in the Internet search giant's plan to extend its advertising business into the market for graphical, display ads. Google acquired DoubleClick for more than $3 billion in March 2008, in hopes of supplementing its lucrative business serving text-based ads alongside search results with the more visual display ads used in corporate branding campaigns -- a market dominated by online rivals Yahoo Inc <YHOO.O> and Time Warner's <TWX.N> AOL.
 
Scientists create digital models of World Heritage sites
 
NEW LANARK, Scotland - A team of British scientists is preparing to create a digital model of Mount Rushmore using laser scanning so that the iconic U.S. monument can be recreated were it to be damaged.

Phone exclusivity limits may make sense: Sprint CEO
 
NEW YORK - The head of No. 3 U.S. mobile service Sprint Nextel Corp <S.N> said on Thursday that it is fair for the U.S. government to ask whether handset exclusivity deals should have time limits. Sprint Chief Executive Dan Hesse said exclusive carrier deals with handset vendors are important for promoting innovation in the industry. He was responding to a question about a U.S. regulatory probe into such deals at a conference.
