Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

I read GOOG Android will be released in September.

Which CEOs Have the Best and Worst Approval Ratings?

I would like some correlations here--most popular CEOs are those that are in relatively "well to do" in this economy. They are performing reasonably well. The only exception is JPM, which suggests that CEO is really special. I would not think much of the other top 10. Employees are like shareholders--when times are okay, employees have jobs, they think their CEO is doing good job.

Yandex: The Biggest IPO of 2008 Is Coming Out of Russia

"Yandex has a bigger search market share in Russia than Google (GOOG) (it is the biggest site in Russia overall). And in Europe it is the No. 3 "
I get that Yandex is bigger than Google in Russia, but no.3 in Europe? You are dreaming. Why would European search through russian web site? Unless you double count--since part of Russia is in Europe.
Here are visitors by country:

Russia 66.7% Ukraine 9.8%
United States 6.2% Kazakhstan 4.2%
Belarus 1.7% Germany 1.4%

Please let me know where this search website is going to explode beyond Russia. This web site is not translated like Google. Certainly they can increase their revenues by advertisements --to Russians. But beyond that there is nothing. I would aslo be wary of Russian market transparency. There are little things like corruption.
