> EFF Sues President Bush Over Internet Surveillance
> Mike Sachoff | Staff Writer
>
> The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has filed a lawsuit against
> President George W. Bush and others in his administration for the
> illegal surveillance of emails and telephone calls without a warrant.
>
> The suit also names the National Security Agency (NSA), Vice
> President Dick Cheney, Cheney's chief of staff David Addington, and
> former Attorney General and White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales.
>
> The lawsuit, Jewel v. NSA, is aimed at ending what the EFF says is
> "the NSA's dragnet surveillance of millions of ordinary Americans
> and holding accountable the government officials who illegally
> authorized it."
>
> Evidence in the case includes undisputed documents provided by
> former AT&T employee Mark Klein showing AT&T has routed copies
> of Internet traffic to a secret room in San Francisco controlled
> by the NSA.

> EFF attorneys filed a suit against AT&T in 2006 alleging that US
> telecoms giants had opened its network to the NSA without warrants.
> This year Congress passed legislation giving telecommunications
> firms immunity from spying lawsuits. The case is now stalled in
> federal court.
>
> "In addition to suing AT&T, we've now opened a second front in
> the battle to stop the NSA's illegal surveillance of millions of
> ordinary Americans and hold personally responsible those who
> authorized or participated in the spying program," said Senior
> Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston.
>
> "For years, the NSA has been engaged in a massive and massively
> illegal fishing expedition through AT&T's domestic networks and
> databases of customer records. Our goal in this new case against
> the government, as in our case against AT&T, is to dismantle this
> dragnet surveillance program as soon as possible."

> Google Blames Microsoft for Yahoo! Deal Controversy
> Chris Crum | Staff Writer
>
> Expected Government Scrutiny
>
> Google held its Zeitgeist Conference yesterday, and during that
> conference, CEO Eric Schmidt, and co-founders Larry Page and Sergey
> Brin held a media roundtable at which they discussed a variety of
> Google's recent endeavors. Among the topics of course, was the
> proposed Google-Yahoo! advertising deal, which is currently being
> scrutinized by the U.S. Department of Justice.
>
> This has been well covered in the media recently, particularly since
> Schmidt announced that Google and Yahoo! would be going forward with
> the deal in October rather than wait for the DoJ's investigation.
> Schmidt thinks that rival Microsoft is largely to blame for the
> amount of controversy the deal has attracted. "I am quite sure that
> Microsoft is helping everyone get upset about things," he said.
>
> Microsoft is no doubt bitter about the whole thing, particularly
> since its own buyout of Yahoo! fell through, but Microsoft can't
> take all the blame itself. According to the LA Times, Schmidt
> acknowledged that Google didn't do a good enough job of explaining
> the deal. This didn't do much to pour water on the flames.

> Schmidt also acknowledged that Google pretty much expected the
> situation they are in. "We anticipated these objections," he said.
> "This is roughly where we expected to be." He implied that Google
> is well aware of U.S. antitrust regulations, and said that the
> company is "playing by the rules." He pointed out how both Google
> and Yahoo! had invested so much time into the deal, and that they
> had no intentions of delaying it any further.
>
> Of course that could change if the DoJ finds something it doesn't
> like. Then there's the fact the World Association of Newspapers
> has called upon the European Commission and the Competition Bureau
> of Canada to block the deal as well.
>
> Nobody told Schmidt the deal was going to be easy. Luckily for him,
> he never thought it would be.

> Yahoo.com Makeover Begins
> Doug Caverly | Staff Writer
>
> Three days ago, Yahoo's official blog encouraged its readers to
> "start wearing purple." Early this morning, the company began
> heeding its own request by unveiling some new Yahoo homepages.
> Test versions present a purple corporate logo along with (arguably
> more important) things like a fresh layout and new features.
>
> If you live in the U.S., U.K., France, or India, there's a chance
> you'll get to see these changes for yourself. For anyone who's
> either not in these areas or not seeing a new Yahoo.com, here's a
> screenshot and an explanation from Tapan Bhat, a senior vice
