Today's Story Highlights

Retail Shoppers Get More Satisfaction Online
Customer satisfaction with retail has dropped for the first time in four
years, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index -- except
in the subcategory of e-commerce. All of the brick-and-mortar retail
categories registered weak or flat customer satisfaction for the fourth
quarter of 2014, while online retail posted a year-over-year gain.

Xiaomi's One Shot at Success in the US
Xiaomi may soon take its first steps into the U.S. How will it do? I
have some suggestions to offer. If it follows them, its chances of
success will increase. If it doesn't, it may face the same problems that
have dogged Microsoft, BlackBerry, Motorola, HTC and many others.
Wireless in the U.S. is a booming business, but it's not easy to break
into the space as a handset maker.

Pivotal Punts Big Data Platform to Open Source
Pivotal on Wednesday announced its decision to open source all of the
core components of its big data platform, becoming the first big data
industry player to do so. The company also announced its participation
in the Open Data Platform, which seeks to encourage more enterprise
collaboration, along with the adoption of modern, scalable data
architectures.

Yandex Asks Russian Authorities to Drop the Hammer on Google
Yandex has asked Russia's antitrust authorities to look into whether
Google is breaking the country's laws by not allowing preinstallation of
third-party services on Android devices. Three smartphone vendors told
Yandex last year that they couldn't install its search engine as the
default, the company claimed. Yandex is seeking to have the Android OS
unbundled from Google Search.
