Google's numbers are looking even better, Mozilla 2.0 nears release with better security, and Universal files suit against video sharing sites.

• When Google reports its earnings on Thursday, it will demonstrate unchallenged dominance of the online advertising business - $4bn of the $16bn sector, according to a report from eMarketer. Yesterday, Yahoo said its third quarter profits were down 38% from 2005, with fourth quarter numbers projected to be down as well. Will rumors of a takeover of Yahoo bump up now?
  
  

• Mozilla has released what may be the final version of Firefox 2.0, Newsfactor.com says, and based on this release the new browser will make major advances in security. It fights phishing by checking websites against a list of known scam sites. It also features improvements in handling JavaScript, tabbing and, crucially, RSS feeds.
  
  

• Universal is suing Sony's Grouper.com and Bolt.com for actively encouraging copyright violations on their sites, AP says. The sites feature some Universal-owned music videos. This just a week after cutting a deal with YouTube to allow users to play mashup with some of their music video content. Meanwhile, The Washington Post says, the London-based International Federation of the Phonographic Industry is suing some 8,000 people in 17 countries in Europe and South America. The federation is going after uploaders on a variety of P2P networks.
