Google Adjusts Political Posture With Sponsorship Of Conservative Conference

redblu

redbluIn interesting but ultimately not very shocking news, Google has signed on as a major sponsor of the Conservative Political Action Conference, which is more or less what it sounds like.

It’s just a little odd seeing Google, which is becoming increasingly political, listed next to such organizations as the Koch Institute, the Heritage Foundation, and the NRA.

Today Apple, Google, 5 Others Battle “No Poach” Conspiracy Case

7 of the world’s most powerful tech companies have been accused of forming antitrust conspiracy to suppress the compensation of their employees by approximately 10-15%. Today, a San Jose judge will hear a motion to dismiss a class action civil lawsuit in which former employees seek damages from defendants Apple, Google, Adobe, Intel, Intuit, Pixar, and Lucasfilm.

The damning evidence against the defendants that I first uncovered last week, as well as the plaintiffs’ opposition to the defendants’ joint motion to dismiss the case indicate there is more than sufficient evidence for the case to proceed towards trial. If the defendants lose to or settle with the class that represents all full-time employees of these companies between 2006 and 2009, tens of thousands of Silicon Valley employees could be compensated.

The company says the changes will take effect on March 1, and will be starting to notify users today via email and a notice on its homepage.

As Google says: In short, we’ll treat you as a single user across all our products, which will mean a simpler, more intuitive Google experience.
