New Google Ad Policy Selling Your Photo, Personal Info Starts Today

Last month, we saw Google+ users reacting to Google's new ad policy that would allow the company to use a person's photo and Google Account name in ads, that is, unless they opt out. The ad policy would be a part of a new Terms of Service which would go into effect on November 11, and as you probably could have guess, today is the day Google can sell its users for advertising. We're sure many of you would prefer to not be a part of Google's grand scheme to make even more money off of its users, so the company allows you to opt out of their new ad policy.

F1's Ecclestone allegedly paid team owners $10M bribes to pass Concord Agreement

It's come out that Bernie Ecclestone, the chief executive of Formula One, paid three team principals - Eddie Jordan, Alain Prost and the late Tom Walkinshaw - $10 million each to sign the 1998 Concorde Agreement. Concorde being a commercial rights agreement that governs the split of monies generated by the sport between the FIA, the teams and the Formula One Administration. This is yet another blow in Ecclestone's on-going trial over bribery charges to a German banker, although the English billionaire hardly seems concerned over the revelation. First, a bit of background.

[Video] Google releases two new Nexus 7 ads

. While most companies tend to focus their marketing on a newly released product, Google's decided to keep the attention on the Nexus 7 instead of the just-released Nexus 5 with two new advertisements. The ads focus on the content available on the device via the Play Store, with one centered around gaming and the other around reading. Personally, I can see at least two reasons why we've seen new Nexus 7 ads as compared to the single Nexus 5 ad so far: firstly, it isn't that easy to get your hands on a Nexus 5 right now, at least via the Play Store.
