 WASHINGTON -- Former Apple Inc. Chief Executive Steve Jobs and top executives at five major book publishers illegally conspired to raise the prices of e-books, costing consumers tens of millions of dollars, federal and state officials alleged in antitrust suits filed Wednesday.
 The suit said Apple proudly described the price-fixing plan -- which gave the iPad maker a guaranteed 30% commission on each e-book it sold through its online marketplace -- as an "aikido move," referring to the Japanese martial art.
 Apple and the publishers "reached an agreement whereby retail price competition would cease (which all the conspirators desired), retail e-book prices would increase significantly (which the publisher defendants desired) and Apple would be guaranteed a 30% 'commission' on each e-book it sold (which Apple desired)," the suit said.

 SAN FRANCISCO - Facebook took steps Monday to bolster its mobile strategy, acquiring photo-sharing application Instagram and its maker for about $1 billion in cash and stock.
 The purchase, the social network's largest and the most expensive by far for a smartphone app, gives Facebook a company that's adept at producing mobile apps as well as a passionate community of more than 30 million users.
 The acquisition marks the end of wild startup experience for Instagram, which released its app for Apple devices in October 2010.

 NEW YORK (AP) — Apple is on the verge of doing what few others have: change the English language.

 And if you want to buy a tablet computer, there's a good chance there's only one name you'll remember.
 This so-called "genericization" can be both good and bad for companies like Apple, which must balance their desire for brand recognition with their disdain for brand deterioration.
 A company's biggest fear is that their brand name becomes so commonly used to describe a product that a judge rules that it's too "generic" to be a trademark.

  E-book readers say they are reading more - an average of 24 books during the past 12 months, compared with 15 books for nonelectronic readers.
 Nearly 3 in 10 adult Americans now own at least one device designed for electronic reading - either an e-reader such as the Amazon Kindle or a tablet such as Apple's iPad.
 Here's what's happening on the plugged-in side of the digital divide: an extraordinarily swift change in how people are reading books and other media, driven by the rapid acceptance of tablets and e-readers.
