Google aims to make search results more personal with the new Your World add-ons, which displays individual search results, depending on your likes and the likes of those in your circles.

Google introduced personal results, profiles in search and also people and pages. Personal Results puts emphasis on stuff that has been shared with you or the ones around you on Google+. So for instance if you have ever wanted to search Google for pictures you have shared via Google+ you can now see them in your results.

Samsung, Sony and Vizio will have new Google TV hardware at CES next week, while the platform will make its long-awaited international debut in 2012 with Google confirming its key partners alongside LG new smart TV kit.

Meanwhile, Marvell ARMADA 1500 chipset integral to Google TV now that the search giant has jumped from x86 to ARM will share the stage with chip company MediaTek, which will also be supplying SoCs to power Google TV set-top boxes.

There is a good reason why companies like Mozilla can give away their software for free. That is because they get a lot from search engine providers to include their search engines inside the browser. So far Google has been the default search engine in Firefox and now they have signed another three-year contract with Mozilla to keep their position at the top of the search box.

This time however, they are paying a lot more to Mozilla than they did last time, almost three times as much. Google will be paying around $300 million per year for three years, which is close to a billion dollars.

The Android 4.0.3 update for the GSM/UMTS version of the Nexus S began a few days ago and by now several of them are running the latest version of Android. However, there are still many left who are not and it seems it will be a while before they get it.

Certain users are reporting that they are getting the update notification on their phones but when they begin the update process the download fails to start, after which you have no choice but to cancel the process.

When this problem was posted on Google forum, Google responded by saying that it has paused the update in certain locations and is monitoring feedback from other regions.

Firefox was in a precarious position for a while because the search deal with Google was running out and that was the main source of cash for the non-profit Mozilla Foundation. Firefox fans can breathe a sigh of relief as there is a new deal that ensures Google sponsorship for another three years.

After reports that Chrome has surpassed Firefox for the second spot in the most popular browser leaderboard, it looked uncertain if Google still had interest in Firefox. It turns out it does and Google will remain the default search provider for Firefox for the foreseeable future.

Firefox 9 for Android left the BETA channel to the release channel, It Now available for Desktop PC's and Android Mobile phones 2.2+ with flash and HTML5 support. Also it has a tablet specific design for Android tablets.
