Mr Schmidt told the Edinburgh Television Festival yesterday that Google "loves" Britain and would pay more tax if it were legally required to do so. He said the company's hands were tied by Britain's low tax demands.

"It is true we could pay more tax but we would have to do so voluntarily. It's called paying the legally minimum amount of tax required," he said.

Motorola can help Google make Android more secure, and more attractive to business and government customers.

Google wants to buy Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion.

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid told AFP: "This is not true. After seeing the enemy statement, we contacted the mujahed (fighter) who shot down the helicopter and he's not dead. He's busy conducting jihad elsewhere in the country."

Mozilla is carefully circumventing the phrase of “waging war” against the creation of closed or “siloed” environments on the web.

competing, but not so by going directly against a rival, but by being “different”

That name would be Apple, which Mozilla’s chairman and chief lizard wrangler Mitchell Baker directly addressed in a series of sequential blog posts that outline Mozilla’s future direction. The attacks aren’t as crude and as we typically see between Mozilla and Microsoft. They are much more carefully worded, perhaps in an effort to remain polite and not to raise any unnecessary attention

“There’s no reason why “apps” can’t incorporate the characteristics that are important about the web. They don’t today because Apple didn’t build them that way. There’s no reason Apple should; Apple has a different view of the world. But we can. In fact, Mozilla is one of the very few organizations that can do this.”

Mozilla has yet to show what it plans to do and leaves us with its vision for now. Mozilla believes that its opportunity is a user’s desire to run anything he wants on any device he owns. Mozilla believes that a user wants to be in charge of his web experience, not Apple, Google or a device. Mozilla believes that a user would want to be in control of her/his identity and the information that is made available. Of course, Mozilla’s model is also based on Firefox and a web browser, which Apple could care less about at this time.

tablet contenders appeared and they’re just now gaining certain key features: movie stores, for example, and stretch and zoom capabilities for phone apps. Consumers want a complete tablet experience, not one that’s “coming soon.”

HP’s $1.2 billion investment in webOS persuaded me that it was in the tablet race for the long haul. I defended the company’s move to sell the TouchPad at a discount and even bought one, only to find out days later that I was wrong: HP wasn’t selling the tablet at low prices to expand the user base quickly and help attract developers.
