| Google Launches New Font Previewer Google has launched a new feature for the Google font directory. The new
Google font previewer lets you test drive all the fonts in the directory
so you can decide which web font in the Google Font API works best for
your requirements. Whenever you visit the font family page of any of the
fonts, you will see a link saying “Preview this font” that
will load your font selection into the font previewer. You can edit the
text, change its size and line height, and add decorations and spacing
among other things. You can even apply text shadow to your text. search.sys-con.com |

Consumer Watchdog Poll Finds Concern About Google’s Wi-Spy Snooping A significant majority of Americans are troubled by recent revelations
that Google's Street View cars gathered communications from home WiFi
networks, and they want stronger legal protection to preserve their
online privacy, according to a national opinion poll released today by
Consumer Watchdog. While Google received an overall 74% favorable
rating, nearly two-thirds of those polled (65%) say the Wi-Spy scandal
is one of the things that "worries them most" or a "great
deal" with another 20% saying it "raises some concern"
when considering Internet issues. The poll, conducted for the
nonpartisan, nonprofit public interest group by Grove Insight, Ltd.,
found a solid majority (55%) is also bothered ("one of the
most" or "great deal") by Google's cooperation with the
National Security Agency without saying what information is being
shared. Even more voters call for Congressional hearings on
"Google's gathering data from home WiFi networks and its sharing of
information with U.S. spy agencies like the National Security
Administration, the NSA" (69% favor, 19% oppose). search.sys-con.com |

Search Engine Promotion Advice for VARs and Channel Partners Search engine optimization is an absolute must for any business.
It’s a low cost way of generating sales and in building
credibility. Quite simply, SEO has been the single most effective new
small business marketing tool to come out within the last 15 years.
However, SEO does pose certain challenges for VARs and IT consultants.
Search engine optimization is normally used to attract a worldwide
audience. But most IT services companies operate locally. A business in
this space that wants to market themselves through the search engines
has to streamline their process in such a way that most of their efforts
will target a local audience. search.sys-con.com |

EC in Preliminary Google Probe The European Commission’s new antitrust czar Joaquin Almunia
indicated Wednesday that Google may face a full-blown investigation into
charges brought a few months ago by Microsoft, British price comparer
Foundem and French legal search engine ejustice.fr alleging that Google
had demoted rivals in its search rankings. He said at a conference
hosted by University College London that “The work is at an early
stage, but given the importance of search to a competitive online
marketplace, I am looking at the allegations very carefully.” The
Financial Times says the regulator is still collecting data and is in
touch with Google, which maintains that results are controlled by
algorithms. The Wall Street Journal says the EC isn’t sure Google
is truly dominant and that the answer may rest with the barrier to
entry, how easy it is for consumers to switch and the company’s
power in adjacent markets. search.sys-con.com |

[Updated] Google Twists in the Wind over Beijing Google's quixotic and poorly executed attempt to do business in China on
its terms rather than the Chinese government's has suffered another
serious setback. Google's Internet Content Providers (ICP) license to
run google.cn expired on Wednesday and the Communist regime told the
company it won't be renewed if Google keeps automatically redirecting
google.cn search traffic to its uncensored Chinese language site in Hong
Kong. That's where Google unilaterally retreated to in March after the
government called its bluff on leaving the country if search was going
to be censored. Now Google hopes that if it puts up an intermediate
"landing page" where users have to click on the message
"We have moved to google.com.hk" it won't get kicked out of
the largest, fastest-growing Internet market in the world on its ear. If
the gambit doesn't fly, well, as its general counsel David Drummond
blogged, "without an ICP license, we can't operate a commercial web
site...so Google would effectively go dark in China." search.sys-con.com |

IBM Defaults to Firefox The 400,000-strong IBM is officially making Firefox its default browser,
according to a blog by the company’s open source and Linux VP Bob
Sutor. He calls it “the gold standard for what an open, secure
and standards-compliant browser should be.” Besides it
ain’t Microsoft, or Google for that matter. In a dismissive shot
at Chrome Sutor says, “We’ll continue to see this or that
browser be faster or introduce new features, but then another will come
along and be better still, including Firefox.” Like adding more
support for HTML5 apparently. search.sys-con.com |

SEC May Slap Dell’s Hand 100 Million Times Adding to its other problems, Dell says it has now set aside $100
million that it may need to settle “negligence-based”
federal securities fraud charges dating back to before fiscal 2008 and
revolving around Intel, a new shoe to drop. According to the New York
Times the SEC has taken exception to how the company accounted for the
billions in rebates and co-marketing payments it got from Intel. It
also seems that Michael Dell might have to settle up personally. The
Wall Street Journal suggests it might be for unintentional statements he
should have known were misleading. The paper also suggests that when the
settlement is finally filed, it could reveal exactly how important
Intel’s subsidies were to Dell’s success. It supposedly got
about $6 billion between 2002 and 2007. The SEC may think they were so
important they should have been broken out. search.sys-con.com |

investment in resources – servers, storage, etc. – to
support and manage applications at guaranteed service levels and reduced
operational costs. New software approaches focused on intelligent
workflow management and automation are delivering on this promise for
the world's largest cloud infrastructure. Building on the first stage
of cloud computing – consolidation and virtualization that creates
a flexible pool of resources – the automation of large-scale

suffered late last year that caused it to move out of Red China proper

Financial Times says several Google employees told it the Googleplex has
been removing all Windows computers out of security concerns, replacing
them on employees’ desks with Apple (mostly) and Linux widgets.
Only those with CIO approval can reportedly get a Windows machine. The
move of course reinforces Google’s attempt to invade the office
