FOOD-LABELING (Undated) — Pressure is growing to label products made from genetically modified organisms, or GMO in industry shorthand, and roughly 30 states are mulling labeling requirements. Consumers, meantime, are threatening to boycott products that are not labeled. And so, for many companies, the pressing question is this: Just what will it take to gain certification as non-GMO?

TICKET-SCALPERS (Undated) — As the summer concert season approaches, live music fans, and the concert industry that serves them, have a common enemy in New York. And in Russia. And in India. That enemy is the bot. “Bots,” computer programs used by advanced scalpers, are a hidden part of a miserable ritual that plays out online nearly every week in which tickets to hot shows seem to vanish instantly. By Ben Sisario.

EUROPE-CHINA-TELECOM (Berlin) — The Europe-China trade relationship had become more difficult over the past two years, and the European trade commissioner has accused two Chinese companies that make telecommunications network equipment, Huawei and ZTE, of violating the European Union’s anti-dumping and subsidies laws. Now the two sides appear set to meet in an attempt to work out their differences. By Kevin J. O’Brien.

TECH-CLOUD-FEUD (Undated) — If the Hatfields and McCoys lived in Silicon Valley, they’d be fighting with piles of cash and teams of lawyers instead of knives and shotguns. And the fight would be over who wins the most customers in the computer industry’s growing “cloud” of software services. That’s how it is for Aneel Bhusri, co-founder of Workday, and Zach Nelson, the chief executive of NetSuite, whose companies are feuding over the next major shift in computing. By Quentin Hardy.

ISRAEL-ELECTRIC-CAR (Jerusalem) — Better Place, an electric vehicle infrastructure company, unveiled plans more than five years ago to pioneer a system of quick-service battery swapping stations across Israel to enable unlimited travel. But on Sunday, Better Place announced that its venture, a flagship enterprise of Israel’s image as a start-up hub, was coming to an end. By Isabel Kershner.

AL-JAZEERA-PROGRAMMING (Undated) — When Al-Jazeera’s owners in Qatar acquired Al Gore’s Current TV in January, they said that Current would be replaced by Al-Jazeera America, an international news channel with 60 percent new programming from the United States. The remaining 40 percent, they said, would come from Al-Jazeera English, their existing English-language news channel in Doha, Qatar. That plan is no more. Now Al-Jazeera America is aiming to have virtually all of its programming originate from the United States, according to staff members and others associated with the channel who were interviewed in recent weeks. By Brian Stelter.
