Google Buzz nakakakuha Reshare Pagpipilian, Nakikipagkumpitensya sa Twitter

Google’s Difference

Okey, obviously it’s not exactly like retweeting. The invitation to add your own comments to the reshare is a concept Twitter lacks—and will likely never see so long as the 140 character limitation is maintained.

Sa kasalukuyan, Twitter’s baked-in Retweet tool doesn’t allow any modification whatsoever, causing many Twitter users to retweet the old-fashioned way (typing RT @username, the tweet, and whatever comments will fit after all that).

This makes Buzz a bit more interesting, regardless of which platform currently has more users. As the 16th feature to be added to Buzz since its inception, we wonder what else Google has in store. According to Todd Jackson, Google product manager, the ultimate purpose of the platform is to solve the communication challenges of regular e-mail.

“Gmail should be the world’s best communication tool,"Siya.

Goldman seeks kasunduan sa sec | FT.com

Goldman Sachs is hoping to avoid the Securities and Exchange Commission’s charge of fraud by reaching a settlement on a lesser offence and agreeing to a fine of hundreds of millions of dollars, according to people familiar with the bank’s negotiating position.

Goldman, which has been accused of civil fraud over a complex mortgage-related security called Abacus, is trying to focus settlement talks with the SEC on the less serious charge of omitting or mis-stating material facts to investors.

Regulatory experts say that companies charged with fraud often seek a settlement on a lesser charge but it is unclear whether the SEC would agree to downgrade such a high-profile case.

A lesser charge would reduce Goldman’s risk of being sued by investors and help the bank avoid the reputational damage of having settled a fraud charge, according to people familiar with the situation.

People involved in the discussions say that, even if regulators agree to consider a lesser charge, Goldman would neither admit nor deny wrongdoing – a common practice among companies settling with the SEC.

Goldman and the SEC declined to comment.

In a note to clients on Thursday, Brad Hintz of Bernstein Research estimated that Goldman might pay a fine of $250m and compensate investors by buying out their exposure to the Abacus deal at a cost of $370m.

Apple mahina sa iTunes antitrust probe – PC World

Federal antitrust regulators may be able to build a case against Apple over its iTunes business because the company has a dominant share of the U.S. music download market, an antitrust lawyer said today.

The Department of Justice is reportedly in the early stages of an investigation of Apple’s business practices, in part because of a complaint that the company pressured music labels to pull support of Amazon’sMP3 Daily Deal,” a promotion in which the online retailer received exclusive access to new tracks.

Apple has an estimated 70% share of the U.S. retail digital music download market, significantly larger than Amazon and Wal-Mart, which each account for 12% of all sales.

And the size of Apple’s share matters to the government, said Hillard Sterling, an antitrust attorney at Chicago-based law firm Freeborn & Peters LLP.

This has much stronger promise than the mobile device case because Apple’s market share in digital music is much more attractive to government regulators,” said Sterling, referring to reports earlier this month that officials at the DOJ and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are also looking into Apple’s ban of third-party development tools for creating iPhone software.

The DOJ seems to be sniffing around for a stronger foundation for an antitrust case,” Sterling said. “At 70% is sufficient market share to raise the specter of a monopoly. It’s a strong indicator to the government.

EU seeks privacy karapatan sa pagpapatupad sa US korte sa pamamagitan ng diplomatikong kasunduan | Tech Patakaran & Batas News – Beta News

Kahapon, the Chairman of the European multi-national group of ministers overseeing online privacy policy enforcement, Jacob Kohnstamm of the Article 29 Paggawa Party (WP29), sent letters to the CEOs of Google, Microsoft, at Yahoo, urging them to alter their personal data retention policies in keeping with new EU standards. Kohnstamm wants their search engines to destroy personal data after six monthsretention rather than nine, as is Google’s current policy; and he simultaneously urged European Commission Vice President Viviane Reding for help getting that message across.

In less than a day, Kohnstamm got his wish: This morning in Brussels, Comm. Reding placed a public call on the United States to forge an agreement that would enable the EC to sue the search engine leaders in US courts for failure to follow EU guidelines for data protection.

The EU and US are both committed to the protection of personal data and privacy. Gayunman, they still have different approaches in protecting data, leading to some controversy in the past when negotiating information exchange agreements (such as the Terrorist Finance Tracking Programme, so-called SWIFT agreement, or Passenger Name Records),” reads this morning’s statement from Brussels. “The purpose of the agreement proposed by the Commission today is to address and overcome these differences. Ngayon&pagkatapos;s proposal would give the Commission a mandate to negotiate a new data protection agreement for personal data transferred to and processed by enforcement authorities in the EU and the US. It would also commit the Commission to keeping the European Parliament fully informed at all stages of the negotiations.

Survey International arbitrasyon nangangalap Pace | Puti & Case LLP

A major survey on international arbitration by the School of International Arbitration at Queen Mary University London (QMUL), sponsored by global law firm White & Kaso, is canvassing the views of in-house counsel in key markets worldwide.

This year’s survey, may karapatan “Choices in International Arbitration”, will consider the key factors that influence corporate choices about international arbitration. Sa paggawa nito, the survey revisits and expands upon some of the themes of the first survey conducted by QMUL in 2006 which examined corporate attitudes towards arbitration.

Ang 2010 survey aims to have an extended geographical reach to consider international arbitration in some of the emerging markets and will include the following themes:

  • Policies about arbitration: whether organizations have policies in place regarding the dispute resolution mechanisms to be incorporated into their contracts and how they implement those policies.
  • Choice of law governing the substance of the dispute, the seat of arbitration and arbitration institution: the main reasons why respondents choose the key aspects of an arbitration including legal considerations, commercial factors, convenience, neutrality and proximity to evidence and witnesses.
  • Selecting arbitrators: key attributes for arbitrators, concerns regarding arbitrator performance and proposals for increased transparency.
  • Pagiging kompidensiyal: the importance organizations place on confidentiality and how corporate expectations interact with increasing challenges to confidentiality.
  • Effectiveness: how proactive corporate choices seek to maximise the benefits of arbitration and minimize the pitfalls including concerns regarding cost and delay.

Arbitration is the dispute resolution method of choice in cross-border transactions and broadening our research into emerging markets and industry sectors will help to take our previous very well received surveys yet another step further,” commented Professor Loukas Mistelis, Director of the School of International Arbitration at QMUL.

The survey questionnaire can be accessed at http://www.arbitrationonline.org/survey and corporate counsel are strongly encouraged to participate. Those who wish to contribute have until the end of June to complete their responses. The report is expected to be launched at the IBA in Vancouver in autumn 2010.

The views of corporate counsel towards international arbitration, particularly in respect of the factors that drive their choices and confidentiality, will be of certain interest to all those within the community,” commented Paul Friedland, head of White & Kaso&pagkatapos;s global international arbitration group.

Border paghahanap ng laptops ay maaaring isagawa off-site para sa dahilan, hukuman patakaran – PC World

In recent cases, Amerika. courts have supported the government&pagkatapos;s right to search the contents of computers and other electronic devices carried by travelers arriving at U.S borders.

A federal court in Michigan this week added that if such a search could not be performed at the border, the government has the right to seize and transport a computer to a secondary inspection facility, as long as there’s reasonable suspicion.

The issue of border laptop searches is important for business travelers who arrive at U.S airports carrying computers they use for work. Privacy advocates, security analysts and others have expressed concern that such searches could result in the exposure of sensitive company or customer data. Ang US. Department of Homeland Security has previously asserted its right to inspect, copy or download the contents of computers or other electronic devices belonging to travelers at U.S. borders even without cause.

The federal court’s ruling was first reported by the Web site FourthAmendment.com. The ruling was in response to a motion filed by the defendant in a child pornography case, who alleged that U.S. customs officials violated his Fourth Amendment rights when they took away one of his computers at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
