the smaller of the two new iphones that Apple is expected to unveil at a rumoured launch on September 9.

#Google restructure easy as ABC Chief executive Larry page said the new structure will make the operation of the company leaner

and more accountablegoogle shares jumped five per cent after the restructure was announced, Fortune reported. Under the restructure plan,

Alphabet will be comprised of the core Google business including internet search, mapping and Youtube along with newer businesses that will be managed separately, such as Google Fiber, Nest and the investment arm Google Ventures.

Google CEO Page will become CEO of the new entity, with his cofounder Sergey Brin serving as president.

Longtime Google executive Sundar Pichai who has taken on increasingly important roles at the company in recent years,

will be CEO of the core Google business. Under the new structure, Page said the ewer Google is slimmed a bit down,

with the companies that are pretty far afield of our main internet products contained in Alphabet insteadalphabet will be comprised of the current efforts in life sciences such as glucose-sensing contact lens and the health research firm Calico,

he said. Page parent company will also include the drone delivery project Wing and investment arms of the California technology giant. undamentally

and all shares of Google will automatically convert to shares of Alphabet, with all of the same rights,

Google will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alphabet. The reorganisation comes amid concerns that Google dominance of the tech sector may have peaked as the landscape evolves.

Google has for years been the leader in internet search and has turned advertising linked to those searches into a highly lucrative business.

But its shares have struggled since hitting an all-time high in early 2014 and it has little to show for ventures in other areas:

self-driving cars, Google glass, internet balloons, health care, GOOGLE TV mobile payments, home automation and its Google+social network, among others.

#Google reveals new look logo Google logo keeps its four-color scheme but shifts to a soft sans-serif font.

The 17-year-old internet company is keen to follow users of its online products onto new generations of internet-linked devices such as smartphones,

and shows you when the Google magic is working for you, even on the tiniest screens,

the California-based internet firm said in a blog post. ee taken the Google logo and branding,

and talk. he unveiling of the new logo came just weeks after a surprise reorganisation of Google under a newly formed parent company called Alphabet.

The plan calls for Alphabet to be the corporate parent, with an operating unit for Google and its related search operations

and a handful of other operating firms created for projects in health, internet delivery, investment and research.

While Google is known as the dominant player in internet search, it has launched a variety of projects in recent years that are related marginally at best to its core operation.

The projects include self-driving cars, Google glass, internet balloons, drones, health care, GOOGLE TV, mobile payments, home automation and its Google+social network, among others.

The Google unit, to be headed by current company vice president Sundar Pichai, will include search, ads, maps, Youtube, Android and related technology infrastructure.

The revised design unveiled on Tuesday features the same mix of blue red, yellow and green that Google has been using throughout its nearly 17-year history,

though the hues are slightly different. Google also invented a new typeface called roduct Sansthat is meant to resemble the simple printing in a grade-school book.

The overhaul also will change the appearance of the letter that Google uses as its shorthand logo on the smaller screens of smartphones and other mobile devices.

The will now be displayed capitalised and in colour instead of being kept lower case and white. Google last tweaked its logo in 2013 g

#EU ruling means Facebook and Google can send data to the US If you live in Europe,

including Google, Apple, Microsoft and Facebook. The decision is the culmination of a case that Austrian lawyer Max Schrems brought against Facebook in 2013 for participation in US mass surveillance.

It means that The irish Data protection Commission which presides over Facebook data-export operations, is unable to use Safe Harbour as a reason not to investigate Facebook data protection practices in the US.

In a statement, The irish Data protection Commissioner confirmed that Schrems case would be brought back before The irish High court s soon as practicable The ruling also removes the legal blanket that allowed companies to send data gathered in the EU to the US for processing.

It not yet clear whether this will disrupt the day-to-day operation of major technology firms, but their ability to pool data from both sides of the Atlantic for analysis will be affected.

it sets a great precedent for the legal challenges to mass surveillance happening in Europe For all the internet power to connect people globally,

the ruling is a step towards an internet that takes local rights and laws into account.

Nyst says that data protection standards are emerging around the world, providing a crucial component of an internet that is not only hugely useful,

A global internet with standards for protecting our data may help bridge that gap. Paul Bernal of the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK, says the judgement makes it hard to see how it is legal for any personal data gathered in the EU to now be sent to the US for processing. he ruling basically says US surveillance cannot be allowed to override our fundamental rights,

#Google Restructures Itself To Form'Alphabet,'A New Supercompany Google, the company that owns Youtube,

Android and Chrome, is reorganizing. Instead of the massive supercompany called Google, it will be a massive supercompany called Alphabet,

with Google still being its largest subsidiary. According to a blog post by Google CEO Larry page, who will now be the CEO of Alphabet,

this restructuring allows the new conglomerate of companies to be more independent and better managed.

Sergey Brin, the current president of Google, will become the president of Alphabet, while Sundar Pichai, the current head of Google android and Chrome divisions,

will be the next CEO of Google. A screenshot of abc. xyz, the site for Alphabet, which now owns Google.

Google will be slimmed down, ostensibly to web services, while other pursuits like Calico (Google war on aging) and Life sciences (developing the glucose-sensing contact lens) are split into separate entities.

Alphabet will also include Google Wing drone delivery attempt and its X lab, as well as its Venture and Capital investment companies.

Also, if you click the period after mention of the self-driving car on Page's blog post,

you're taken to a fake Hooli. xyz site, featuring the Google-esque company from HBO's Silicon valley.)

Based on Google's SEC filing, the merger will happen later this year, and Alphabet will report the company's Q4 earnings.

Under the new operating structure, its main Google business will include search, ads, maps, apps, Youtube and Android and the related technical infrastructure (the oogle business.

Businesses such as Calico, Nest, and Fiber, as well as its investing arms, such as Google Ventures and Google Capital,

and incubator projects, such as Google X, will be managed separately from the Google business. Here's a pretty good summary, via tweet:

Alphabet will replace Google as the publicly-traded entity, according to the post. The change will happen automatically,

and all shareholders will have the same number of shares and the same rights. Google, which will be owned by Alphabet,

will be also continue to be traded as GOOG and GOOGL on the Nasdaq. The move seems to have been coming for a while.

#Google to become Alphabet Inc in shakeup Google Inc (GOOGL. O) announced a major shake-up of its operating structure on Monday, creating a holding company called Alphabet

which will contain subsidiaries to separate its core web advertising business from newer ventures like driverless cars.

Google is not going to slow the pace of their experimental processes like self driving cars, "said Michael Yoshikami,

The surprise news sent shares of Google up as much as 7 percent to $708 in after hours trading."

Google's planned structure resembles the way companies like Berkshire hathaway and General electric are organized, with a central unit handling corporate-wide activities such as finance

the Google unit will encompass the core search engine traditionally associated with the company as well Google maps and Youtube.

Alphabet Inc will replace Google as the publicly traded entity and all shares of Google will automatically convert into the same number of shares of Alphabet, with all of the same rights."

"This new structure will allow us to keep tremendous focus on the extraordinary opportunities we have inside of Google,

"said current Google CEO Larry page in a blogpost. Analysts also said the new structure could herald a new era of fiscal discipline and transparency in some of its more experimental and opaque business units.

In a SEC filing, Google said the new arrangement will take effect later this year and that it will likely result in two reportable, financial segments."

"For example, if a unit is doing well or badly they can dial it up or down,

The shuffle also looked to have the markings of Ruth Porat, who joined Google as its chief financial officer in March from Morgan stanley. In Google's recent quarterly conference call, Porat repeatedly emphasized keeping expenses under control.

Porat will serve as the CFO of both Alphabet and Google. Page will serve as the CEO of the newly created holding company and Sundar Pichai,

a long-time Google executive who most recently served as the company's senior vice president of products, will head Google.

The company's current directors will become directors of Alphabet. Google cofounder Brin will become president of Alphabet,

and Eric Schmidt will be executive chairman. Analysts said the move, which was mainly about transparency
