E.U. launches antitrust investigations into IBM. IBM will face two investigations from the European Commission (E.C.) on charges of alleged antitrust infringements in the IBM mainframe computer market, regulators said Monday, the Washington Post reports. The E.C. stated in a news release that the first allegation came from software competitors like T3 and Turbo Hercules, which claimed that IBM sold its mainframe operating system linked to its mainframe hardware, isolating access to IBM’s mainframe computer customers. The second, filed by the European Union’s antitrust regulators themselves, alleged IBM put other suppliers of mainframe maintenance services at a disadvantage. The investigations came in the midst of informal inquires by the Justice Department on IBM’s mainframe practices. -B.K.

STATE…Kara Swisher reported on Friday that sources tell her Jared Cohen, “the State Department’s social networking phenom and the youngest member of its policy planning staff,” has been in talks “very recently” about moving to Google.
