Today's Story Highlights

Now Google Knows Its ABCs
Google on Monday announced a restructuring that will make it a wholly
owned subsidiary of a new umbrella company called "Alphabet." Product
Chief Sundar Pichai will take over as CEO of Google, while Google
cofounders Larry Page and Sergei Brin will be CEO and president,
respectively, of Alphabet. Pichai "is ... the right person to lead the
core Google search effort," said Covestor's Barry Randall.

The Best Videos on Facebook Could Be Stolen Property
Facebook has stolen videos for display on its site, alleged Hank Green
of VlogBrothers. A whopping 725 of the 1,000 most popular videos on
Facebook in Q1 were freebooted -- that is, re-uploaded to the social
media network without authorization -- he said, citing a report from
Ogilvy and Tubular Labs. Those 725 videos accounted for about 17 billion
views in the quarter, Green noted.

Android on BlackBerry Is Looking More Real
BlackBerry's upcoming slider handset, aka "Venice," will run on Android
and will be available in the coming months for AT&T as well as T-Mobile,
according to rumors that picked up steam over the weekend. This is not
the first time rumors of a BlackBerry device running on Android have
made the rounds. The company earlier this year hinted at the possibility
at the Mobile World Congress.
