Yesterday, the search provider made some moves to appease the Chinese government. Today, some Google searches are being blocked.
David Drummend, Google's General Council, announced yesterday that Google was making changes in its policy in China. Google was told that it would no longer be able to automatically redirect traffic to its Hong Kong subsidiary. Their license to run a website and effectively do business in China is up for renewal today.

In a full page spread in the New York Times today, Motorola and Verizon took a 'Swype' at the iPhone's antenna problem.
By now, you've heard of the issues with holding the new iPhone 4. Apple's official stance so far is that "you are holding it wrong" or "buy a protective case". That may be good enough for the hardened Apple fan, but for the general public, it may not fly.
Today, Motorola MORE

Pretty bad, say engineers who have measured the effect of the "death grip." But it's not fatal.

It's been nearly a week since Steve Jobs famously told a new iPhone owner with reception issues to "stay tuned," but Apple (AAPL) still hasn't solved the new device's Death Grip problem -- its tendency to lose signal strength rapidly when gripped across the gap MORE

According to today's report, Apple's iOS fell to 40% while Google's Android is headed towards 30%.

Without necessarily buying the latest rumor, an analyst runs the numbers
Suspending disbelief for a moment, Oppenheimer's Yair Reiner takes at face value Tuesday's Bloomberg story -- and the Wall Street Journal report that preceded it -- that Apple (AAPL) will be making an iPhone for Verizon (VZ) next year.
In a report to clients issued Wednesday morning, he looks at what that would mean for Apple's bottom line. His key MORE

With one product announcement, Android goes from Enterprise outcast to forerunner.
If your enterprise doesn't use a VoIP call center from Cisco or Cisco networking equipment in your server room, it still likely uses Cisco's Webex for video calling. Pretty soon those Cisco (CSCO) salespeople are going to be calling up your director of IT pitching them on what appears to be a very cool little Android tablet called Cius.

The same old rumor -- unsourced as usual -- dusted off and sold as new
Verizon (VZ) bucked a broad market decline and shot briefly into positive territory Tuesday afternoon.
The trigger?
A report on the Bloomberg business wire -- citing two unnamed sources -- that repeated what the Wall Street Journal reported nearly three months ago: that the iPhone is coming to Verizon next year, ending AT&T's (T) exclusive hold on Apple's MORE

Another day, another set of launch-day photos, this time outside AT&T (T) outlets across the U.S.
Having been overwhelmed with pre-orders for the iPhone 4, Apple's U.S. carrier had to postpone walk-in sales until June 29.
And sure enough, when AT&T stores opened Tuesday morning across the country, MORE
