It launches in April in Europe and we assume shortly thereafter in the US

Verizon has fired the first shot in challenging the new Net Neutrality Rules, the company filed an appeal in the US Court of Appeal challenging the FCC’s recently adopted Net Neutrality Rules, specifically they challenged that the FCC has overstepped its boundaries in making such a move.

Google isn't the only company going through a cooperate shakeup, HP has replaced 4 board members and added 5 brand new ones, including former E-bay CEO Meg Whitman. All five new members report for duty in March.

Google may be ready to release a competitor to GroupOn--the local deal finding site.  Remember Google tried to acquire GROUNPON last mouth but to no avail.Google’s homemade version is said to be called “Google offers”, and it sounds just like GROUNPON, aimed at matching potential customers with businesses through daily email deals.This product hasn’t been formally announced but Google has confirmed that they are working on it.

Don't you wish all online photos of you would just disappear, a new technology will make it so. German researchers have created a software called Xpire, it will give you on-line photos an expiration date, once that date passes, the images will no longer be viewable or copyable. It is a cool idea but you’d have to set the expiration date when you published the photo, meaning you’d have to have the presence in mind to know this photo has the potential to embarrass you, meaning you probably should know better.

And get ready for Angry Birds, the animated series. Rovio has planned to turn its hit iPhone game into a cartoon.

The man who changed business forever - Apple's Steve Jobs

"Love him or loathe him, Steve Jobs is a figure of social and historic significance who has arguably had as much impact on the daily lives of global consumers as anyone you can name," Rich Jaroslovsky writes for Bloomberg.
 
"In an odd way, Apple’s recent spectacular success, combined with Jobs’s larger-than-life image and lightning-rod personality, have obscured just how important a force he has really been, and for how long," Jaroslovsky writes. "After all, an Inc. magazine cover proclaimed that 'This Man Has Changed Business Forever' -- in 1981."
 
Jaroslovsky writes, "In an age when we routinely carry miniature supercomputers in the form of smartphones in our pockets, it’s hard to fully grasp the impact of Jobs’s first great product, the Apple II personal computer. The technological wizardry behind it -- Those high-res graphics! That disk controller! -- largely belonged to co-founder Steve Wozniak. But the vision of placing technology in normal people’s hands, and the passion to build a company devoted to that concept, came from Jobs."
