Google Challenges Right to Be Forgotten in French High Court
Google on Thursday filed an appeal with France's supreme administrative
court over an order from a privacy regulator requiring it to scrub
certain search results around the world under a law called "the right to
be forgotten." The March order from the CNIL requires Google and other
search engines to delist the information of Europeans that shows up in
searches for their name.

China Subjects Tech Imports to Heavy Security Scrutiny
China reportedly is investigating the encryption and data storage

reportedly is conducting reviews that include interviews of company
executives and other employees.

Tweets May Soon Breeze Past 140-Character Limit
In an effort to better monetize its platform and boost user traffic,
Twitter may relax the 140-character limit on individual tweets by no
longer counting photos and Web links. The tweak could take place within
two weeks, according to a report that cited an unnamed source who asked
for anonymity because the decision had not yet been made public. CEO
Jack Dorsey hinted at the move earlier this year.

Selling Imagination in the IoT Era
If you love studying technology trends and imagining what they will do
for your business, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that you have a
vision of how things will be, while many of those you need to partner
with to achieve that vision still are trying to master the reality of
today. Congratulations -- you have a combination of curiosity,
prescience and nerdiness that will serve you well.

right-leaning pundits, including talk show host Glenn Beck, to meet with
