- The internal Google advocates for the "cutesy" method of going public apparently won out. Rumors published here last week indicated that Google founders were insisting that the public offering be done with a new type of auction method and that the corporate structure divide into two classes of stock so that founders can keep control of the company.

- An interesting potential side-effect of the impending arrival of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts: Several Massachusetts companies are announcing a discontinuation of domestic partner benefits. Companies who only offered the benefits to same-sex couples did so because those couples were unable to otherwise legally marry. Once same-sex couples have the same opportunity to marry as straights, holding them to the same standards to qualify would no longer be discriminatory. Several companies are announcing that beginning next year, benefits will be restricted to married couples, even if unmarried same-sex partners previously qualified. |
