Pinterest is goosing up its features this week with language change preferences--quick work for a company so young--and the first to roll out is Spanish. When the new feature kicks in, Pinterest users can change their language setting so everything they view is en español, Pinterest explains in a blog post. Pinterest is also working on translated Pinterest versions in German, Japanese, and Portuguese. But that's not all--though it has a loyal addicted user base in the U.S. midwest, Pinterest seems keen on getting out into the world. In addition the first five languages which will be rolling out soon, in May, Pinterest put out a call fortranslators in more than 20 global languages. It's clear the world is interested too--the lead backer in Pinterest's last $100 million funding round was Japanese e-commerce site Rakuten.

Google To Acquire Instant Messaging Service Meebo


Google will acquire Meebo, the social services company announced in a blog post today. Meebo, a Mountain View veteran that's been around since 2005, first began as a messaging program that allowed users on different instant messaging clients to send each other cross-platform chats. It later expanded to offer a social toolbar service for brands to deeper engage with consumers, as well as an interests-based social networking service for users. Google hasn't yet disclosed what its plans for Meebo are, but the company's offerings to date indicate a Google+ integration could make a lot of sense. Terms of the deal were undisclosed, but AllThingsD reported back in May it would be close to $100 million.

Google Acquires Quickoffice To Develop Native Office Productivity Apps
Google just announced it has acquired Quickoffice, a company that develops a suite of mobile office productivity tools for several platforms, including iOS and Android. The Quickforce team will be working to create native app versions of Google's own suite of popular office tools, such as Google Docs, so users will be able to access and share files across multiple devices. Google recently gave Docs a facelift with a host of new fonts and templates and a Reseach tool. And now that Google Docs lives in Google Drive, native apps make sense as a next step. It's also worth noting the announcement comes two weeks after the rumor mill began churning out news that Microsoft will release its own native Office apps for the iPad and Android devices this fall.

The Wii U system is estimated to cost about $400 in the U.S

Microsoft: Iran-Targeting Flame Virus Used A Windows Bug In Its Code

Reuters reports Microsoft says that the sophisticated Flame virus used a bug in Windows to help, well, flame the viral fires. The flaw is in code called "terminal services licensing," which lets businesses use more advanced features of Windows and allowed hackers to design Flame to look as if it was authentic, certificate-bearing software from Microsoft. Microsoft has now released an official software tool to fix the loophole, which may prevent Flame from spreading further and halt attempts by other virus writers to exploit the same flaw. Iran has separately said it has developed its own code to prevent Flame from causing damage.
