Google's Schmidt tries to avoid clashes with EU regulators

In an interview with the Sunday Telegraph, the Google Chairman said he'd do just about anything to avoid investigations, even change its search algorithms.

Google's (GOOG) outgoing CEO was candid on the company's trouble with EU investigators, which seem to be sniffing around just about every business the search and services goliath gets into these days.  From the relatively benign car data gathering, to its possible abuse of power in search MORE

Intel and Nvidia play nice for a $1.5 billion price

Intel agrees to a huge licensing deal that pays graphics powerhouse Nvidia handsomely. But, it's not exactly a thaw in their cold war.

After canceling a Dec. 6 trial date to hash out lawsuits they had pending against each other, chipmakers Intel (INTC) and Nvidia (NVDA) announced a new six-year agreement Monday.

Apple cracks $320

Apple (AAPL) set a new all-time intraday high Thursday, hitting $320.18 shortly after 11:00 a.m. EDT, up $7.38 (2.4%) from Wednesday's close.

Apple closed at $318.27, up $5.47 for the day.

And that rate will probably only grow: Analyst Maynard Um with UBS estimated that Apple (AAPL) would sell at least 28 million iPads in 2010, according to MORE
