Google Launches the Google Apps Marketplace
Today at the Google’s Campfire One event at the company’s headquarters in Mountain View, California, the Internet search giant is launching its new app store for business, known as the Google Apps Marketplace . Last week, we broke the story of today’s Google Apps Marketplace launch .

Now, with developers gathered at the Googleplex, we’re about to learn how Google Apps Marketplace works and, more importantly, which apps are going to be available at launch

Samsung Debuts 3D TV Lineup
3D is set to be big this year, and Samsung is hoping to tempt early adopters with a promotional offer that attempts to combat one of 3D TV’s main problems — lack of content — by bundling in a 3D movie with certain sales. The promotion takes the form of a new “Starter Kit” that offers U.S. consumers the chance to enjoy 3D movies in their own living rooms, rather than having to head to nearest cinema to check out the eye-popping action. In 2010, Samsung will offer a range of 3D-capable TVs, including the LED 7000/8000/9000 Series, LCD 750 Series and the Plasma 7000/8000 Series

Building a Gigabit Fiber Network Is Real Hard, Even for Google [Google]
The WSJ delves into the trials and tribulations of trying to build a gigabit fiber network out to even the 50,000 homes at the low ends of Google's goals for their trial network . It could cost up to $1 billion, and Google's already mentioning to people it's asking for help, like Case Western Reserve University's Lev Gonick, whose building gigabit fiber to 104 homes, that "we have a lot to learn." Oh boy, sign me up. (Actually, do sign me up.) [ WSJ ]

79 percent of adults believe web access is a ‘fundamental right’
The BBC World Service has conducted a poll of more than 27,000 adults across 26 countries to answer one primary question: is internet access a fundamental human right? We can skip right past Finland and Estonia who've already made laws to that effect , and take a look at what the other nations thought. Mexico, Korea and Brazil lead the way here with all having greater than 90 percent agreement, while Pakistan, India and Kenya -- countries with a slightly different perception of what fundamental needs are -- offer the least support, though they're all still above 50 percent in agreement. Other interesting stats include the claim by 85 percent of Japanese internet users and 81 percent in Mexico that they would not be able to "cope without the internet," while 55 percent of Brits and most other European nations believe that the internet should be regulated by governments in at least some way. Ghana and Nigeria are most worried about fraud (ha!), while people in the Philippines see explicit content as the web's biggest threat.

Google vs. Yahoo: Who Has the Right Social Strategy?
The Social Analyst is a weekly column by Mashable Co-Editor Ben Parr , where he digs into social media trends and how they are affecting companies in the space. Facebook; Twitter; LinkedIn; YouTube; Wordpress: these companies, built from the ground-up, are mainstays in social media. None of them were created by a large tech company, and all but one remains independent. It’s an interesting phenomenon, when you think about it. Large tech companies have had limited to no success creating their own social media home runs.

Sandra Bullock Oscar Acceptance Speech in Hot Demand [VIDEO]
The 82nd Academy Awards were last night, and it wasn’t just about iPad commercials and pissing matches between media conglomerates ; actual awards were given out, too. Although The Hurt Locker might have taken home the most gold statues (six wins out of nine nominations), one of the most talked-about moments of the night was Sandra Bullock’s acceptance speech for Best Actress. Currently, the speech is being watched by scores of Internet users, according to Google search trends. Bullock won the award for her work in The Blind Side

Growth of the Internet from 1998 to 2008 [INFOGRAPHIC]
BBC News has a very cool interactive chart up, showing how the Internet grew from 1998 to 2008 in various parts of the world. In 1998, the only countries with significant Internet usage were the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark and Sweden. Of course, I remember using the Internet in Croatia every day back then, but it’s true: For most people, it was “this new thing” and it didn’t play a very important part of our everyday lives. Moving the slider below the charts forward into future, you can see how quickly western Europe adopted the Internet, with more than 31% of people online in most European countries by 2005
