Google Inc Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt challenged college graduates on Sunday to take the radical step — at least for their generation — of tearing their eyes away from their smartphones and computer screens.
”Take one hour a day and turn that thing off,” Schmidt told graduates at Boston University, where he received an honorary degree and was applauded by an audience that had grown up relying on the technology company’s search engine, e-mail and other services.
Verizon Wireless, after saying it would seek to phase out unlimited data for millions of its customers, said there was one surefire way for subscribers to keep their all-you-can-eat plans: Pay full price for their smartphones.
The carrier said Wednesday that third-generation customers upgrading to the high-speed mobile broadband network known as 4G LTE would soon be required to drop their $30-a-month unlimited data plans, likely forcing them to pay more to stream video, music and download photos.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson says he didn’t provide the information that led the troubled Internet company to list a bogus college degree in his official biography. That’s according to a person familiar with the matter.
The person asked not to be identified because Thompson made the remarks in a private meeting Thursday with other Yahoo executives. His comments were first reported by Reuters.
