Nexus One Runs on AT&T, Sprint North Americans Pay More for Apps HTC Vows To Fight an Apple Lawsuit Facebook Tops Google in Web Traffic FCC Faces Battle on Public Safety Digital Anniversary for Seattlepi.com Google has started selling a Nexus One that will run on AT&T's 3G network, and has also inked a deal with Sprint Nextel. Google previously struck deals with T-Mobile, Vodafone and Verizon Wireless. Mobile applications are one of the fastest-growing segments of the high-tech economy, with some analysts estimating an $11 billion industry by 2014. But Americans and Canadians pay a premium. HTC, the Taiwanese cell phone maker sued by Apple this month for patent infringement, said it will defend itself against charges that it lifted iPhone technology, such as two-finger screen recognition. In a possible sign of the sea change that social networking has brought to the Internet, new industry data show that U.S. visits to Facebook last week exceeded those to Google. Private interests are taking aim at the Obama administration's proposal to impose a national broadband tax. The FCC wants the tax to finance an interoperable public-safety network. Seattlepi.com, the online successor to the print version of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, is celebrating its first online-only birthday with music, free cupcakes and cheap beer.

Cybercriminals Steal Virtual Objects Get Rid of Graffiti with Your iPhone Fighting Flood of Bogus Tech Products Recession Recovery: One-Hit Wonder Remove 'Bloatware' from a Win 7 PC Tiny Laptops Offer Fancy Features Computer gamers are increasingly finding that there's a serious side to their virtual fun: their hard-earned virtual objects are being stolen from them, and in some cases their entire game as well. Graffiti? There's an app for that. The old-school practice of American graffiti may have met its match in some high-tech programs designed to report and remove the blight from city and private property. In the past five years, counterfeit computer chips, routers, and other electronic products have become an epidemic, with fake gear costing the IT industry an estimated $100 billion a year. The recovery is losing steam, with the U.S. economy growing at half the brisk 5.9 percent pace at which the government estimated it grew last quarter. Was the year-end growth spurt a one-hit wonder? Buy a new Win 7 computer, and you'll likely be in for some surprises -- both pleasant and unpleasant. On the unpleasant side will be the many applications PC makers preinstall on their computers. A rash of new laptops set for display at the CeBIT computing trade show underlines the growing shift in the market to tinier machines with fancier features such as 3-D graphics and touch screens.
