Australian Court Rules Google's Search Ads OK 38

daria42 writes "A long-running Australian court case debating whether Google has done enough to differentiate paid advertisements from normal organic search results has come to an end, with the search giant the victor over the country's competition regulator. The landmark case influenced how Google discloses which search results were advertisements — with the result that it now labels ads as 'Ads' rather than as 'Sponsored links.' In addition, Google now prohibits companies from advertising products or services with which they are not associated — making it much harder for competitors to artificially take valued positions in Google's rankings."

Paperless office solutions?

Submitted by mamono
mamono writes "I currently work in a US Federal Government office. I'm appalled by the amount of paper people waste here. I know a lot of the effort to reduce paper use would entail education. However, I would like to have a plan in place to allow for a paperless solution. I'd like something like Kindle that will accept standard document formats (PDF, ODT, DOC, WPD, etc.) We are standardized on Word Perfect and Open Office but there are a few Microsoft Office folks, too. Is there such a device out there that would look, feel and work as well as the Kindle without being tied to only Amazon purchases?"

What ever happened to happily ever after?
