  1. Cisco geeks out the new A’s stadium. Google a liar? Surprising spam and porn numbers.
  2. AT&T protecting your privacy? Apple settles with Creative. More battery recalls. Watch TV at work
  3. Sony buys Grouper. No Segway in UK. One Click Sex Offender Reporting. Polls are open at Business Week
