Google are victims of a formal probe into its multiple businesses as the U.S. considers whether or not the tech heavyweights are 'abusing' their Internet dominance. The FTC probe will be investigating multiple issues regarding Google's core search-advertising business including whether its search engine unfairly steers users into 'choosing' Google sponsored products and/or services. Google assure that they are sticking to their age old policy of USER FIRST but critics are starting to be live a more traditional business model is slowly being put in place.

LulzSec's string of embarrassing hacks continue as the groups release another load of internal documents numbering up to the hundreds belonging to various Arizona law enforcement agencies. A blog post by Lulsec stated that the attack was due to recent state law giving police broad power to detain anybody they "deem" to be in the US illegally.
"We are targeting AZDPS specifically because we are against SB1070 and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona"

Student fees and frisking
Hello, todays June 15th and if you live in Australia, Asia, Africa, S America and specific places in southern Europe you can look out your window and see a total lunar eclipse. If you cant like me you can watch live as events unfold at http://www.youtube.com/google

The government have modified the police's ability to use stop and search techniques to 'frisk' people without grounds for suspicion after it has been ruled to be illegal and in breach of human rights. New procedure requires authorization from the home secretary which would only occur if there was sufficient evidence that an act of terrorism could occur.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-13780270The plans for Welsh universities to follow suite and charge students tuition fees of up to £9,000 a year have been rejected. Unlike those in England, Welsh students will not have to pay the fees for the same quality education as others in recent years before them had. It has been determined that the 'Higher Education Funding Council for Wales' will solely be responsible for approving any plans for increase over the current £4,000 a year cap by an individual university basis.
