Google could be sued in UK for taking e-mail passwords and more

Google’s Streetview has been a big headache for Google in Europe. What was supposed to be a fun tool turned out to be a monster when it comes to privacy issues. At least, in Europe.

Mobile web search on Android is the future? 247% increase in UK says yes

Mobile is hot, hotter, hottest. Everybody wants to be on mobile devices. And numbers show us why. Not just the ‘apps’ on smartphones like the iPhone or Android are booming, mobile search also is.

Check out what happens and try for yourself!
