Good morning! Here's the news:

  • Google says its click to call mobile ads are delivering great returns. Ads that have phone numbers have click rates 6-8% higher than those without.
  • Motorola has trademarked the word "Xoom." Could this be the name of its Android tablet? (We hope not, we don't even know how to pronounce that word.)
  • Mark Hurd is fighting to keep the letter that led to his resignation from HP confidential. It could be made public as part of a shareholder lawsuit.
  • CalPers is not happy with how Apple's board is structured. Directors only need one yes vote to protect their seat, which CalPers does not like.
  • Microsoft is reportedly going to introduce a new version of Windows that will be compatible with ARM chips, thus introducing a wedge in the long running Microsoft-Intel partnership.
  • Google's self driving cars are going to be a bigger success than Google's social network says Gmail creator, and ex-Facebook employee Paul Buchheit.
