 | New research casts Google as an enemy of the people, accusing it of manipulating search results for its own benefit. However, it may not be entirely objective. "The study was sponsored by Yelp, a competitor of Google that has itself been accused of algorithm cooking," noted tech analyst Charles King. "So it seems like there's more than a little 'pot, kettle, black' equivocation going on here." [More...] |

Today's Story Highlights
Microsoft Is Looking More Like the House Nadella Built
Some aspects of CEO Satya Nadella's vision for Microsoft are becoming more clear. For one thing, the company's interest in advertising is
seriously on the wane. Microsoft reportedly has handed off most of its
digital advertising sales business to AOL. Microsoft will retain control
of its search advertising sales, however, and Bing will replace Google
as the engine powering AOL's consumer searches.

Yelp Study Blasts Google for Screwing With Search
Google has been tampering with the responses its search engine gives to queries and, as a result, has been hurting social welfare, alleges a
survey conducted by Michael Luca, a Harvard Business School economist,
and Tim Wu, a professor at Columbia Law School and former FTC advisor.
Yelp sponsored the research. The team last week sent a paper reporting
the results to the European Commission.

Cisco Erects 6 Pillars for the IoT
Cisco on Monday launched Cisco IoT System -- a new Internet of Things initiative comprised of 15 products geared toward improving device
interoperability. As many as 50 billion devices and objects could be
connected to the Internet by 2020, the company forecast, yet today more
than 99 percent of things in the physical world currently are
unconnected.

The Encryption Software Scuffle
In the face of encryption that could block brute force attempts for years, law enforcement agencies at every level have been calling for
keys that allow investigators to crack open smartphones and court cases
alike. Some of the world's leading tech companies and privacy advocates
have called for the White House to stand against any proposal to weaken
the security software on consumer products.

CFPB: Mortgage Servicers Still Rooking Consumers
Mortgage servicers got a bad name during the subprime mortgage crisis, but despite that reputation damage, and despite new laws designed to get
them on the straight and narrow, they're still up to their tricks, the
CFPB has found. Between January and April, many servicers violated
Regulation X, which spells out requirements for soliciting, completing
and evaluating loss mitigation applications.
