Today's Story Highlights

Microsoft May Be Getting Into Social Networking - Hint, Hint
Weeks after Google launched Google+, rumors have begun making the rounds
that Microsoft is working on its own social networking platform. The
chatter started with an image posted on the Web. It appeared to depict a
landing page for a service called "Tulalip." A message on the page read
"With Tulalip, you can find what you need and share what you know easier
than ever."

The Crazy People Running the Government and News Corp. Need New Jobs
This last week was filled with events that made me wonder how many of
our leaders had sent their brains to wacky land. On the political front,
the U.S. president, our president, threatened financial default and
elderly folks on fixed social security incomes in order to get the U.S.
credit limit raised. Threatening old defenseless folks always works so
very well.

Discordant Notes Surround IBM's Symphony Move
Following last month's excitement over the ongoing OpenOffice.org saga,
it seemed like things on that front were quieting down at last. It was
just early June, of course, when Oracle decided to donate OpenOffice to
the Apache Foundation rather than to LibreOffice -- a move at least one
blogger equated with a "spiteful child, smashing their toys instead of
sharing." Well, so much for any kind of lasting quiet since then.

Dragon Go Burns Its Way to the Top of the Mobile Search Heap
A new voice-based search and find app, Dragon Go, has rocketed up my
list of personal favorites. Why? It lets me get the stuff I want faster
than ever before -- the good stuff, too, and I don't have to scroll
through a bunch of crud to find it. Nuance Communications is the voice-
recognition company behind a variety of voice recognition and
transcription applications, and Dragon Go is its latest offering.

Google: Everything's Coming Up Pluses
By most measures, the last two weeks have been a nonstop love fest for
Google, beginning with the immediate acceptance of Google+ and
culminating with stellar earnings on Thursday and an impressive
performance by CEO Larry Page during the earnings call. Briefly,
Google's second quarter revenues clocked in at a 32 percent increase
compared with the same period last year, rising to $9.03 billion.
