Still in its infancy, London-based GNI, which is partially supported by companies such as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft, currently is focused on increasing its membership and advancing its agenda. "Technology has the potential to dramatically increase access to information and protect personal privacy," said Morgan. "However, increasing demands from governments to limit content, restrict freedom of expression and monitor users represent a worrying threat to human rights." http://www.globalnetworkinitiative.org http://www.globalnetworkinitiative.org/newsandevents/ED_release.php _____________________________________________ o GT Solar Raises $121 Million in Public Offering of Stock Merrimack, N.H. -- GT Solar International, a provider of production equipment, process technology and manufacturing services for the solar power industry, has priced a secondary offering of its common stock to raise about $121 million.

Weeknights Boston - Apple iPhone owners are most active in using applications at 9 p.m. on weeknights, with nights and weekends serving as peak times of activity, according to a report from mobile analytics firm Localytics, VentureBeat reported. Boston-based Localytics uses data from the applications whose developers have incorporated its tracking tools. Tuesday evening was found to be the most active time for iPhone application use, with Localytics noting that this could indicate that users are on them while watching TV. "It seems people are reaching for their iPhone rather than their laptop," Localytics' Brian Suthoff told VentureBeat. The firm said its findings indicate that use of the iPhone is "still more personal than professional," but added that iPhone app usage patters may bode well for Apple's forthcoming iPad http://venturebeat.com/2010/03/09/iphone-localytics http://snipurl.com/uqh87 (Localytics) _____________________________________________ o Briefly Noted: (Marlboro, Mass.)
