Latest Google Search Revamp
Recently, Google announced (and Search Engine Land intensely covered) what is being described as the most significant revamp to date of their basic search tool.
To sum it up from the start, the changes will likely provide local businesses with the ability to merge aspects of their search optimization and social media strategies into a unified approach via Google+, the company’s new social network.
The new opportunities presented by the revamp will undoubtedly deliver unprecedented search visibility for the products and services of proactive local businesses over time. Their success will be dictated by two basic needs: generating buzz about their offerings on Google+, and creating an effective business page on the site.

Dell on Thursday said it is forming a Software Group, which will bring together disparate products under one roof as the company tries to sharpen its end-to-end enterprise offerings.

VeriSign Security Repeatedly Breached
VeriSign Inc, the company in charge of delivering people safely to more than half the world's websites, has been hacked repeatedly by outsiders who stole undisclosed information from the leading Internet infrastructure company.
VeriSign said its executives "do not believe these attacks breached the servers that support our Domain Name System network," which ensures people land at the right numeric Internet Protocol address when they type in a name such as Google.com, but it did not rule anything out.

Apple, Google Under Scrutiny
At issue is whether some of the titans of tech -- including Apple and Google -- conspired not to hire each other's employees.
A probe by the U.S. Justice Department revealed at least six companies kept "do not call" lists to avoid recruiting. The companies settled that antitrust complaint, but now the employees involved are seeking damages.
Their lead attorney, Joe Saveri, argues the alleged conspiracy kept workers salaries artificially low by stifling competition.
"They are definitely putting the interests of the company ahead of their employees," he said. "That's fundamentally wrong."
