Breakfast briefing: Briton moves up the ladder at Intel, Google looks for liberation

• The reported reshuffle at Intel is shaking out, bringing up the question of who might succeed current chief executive Paul Otellini. According to the Wall Street Journal, the frontrunner to take over is Sean Maloney, - the British exec we interviewed in June.

• Last week we profiled the forthcoming launch of Google's new Data Liberation Front - a group trying to make it easier for users to get their data out of Google's services. The DLF is now official, with a site that offers you tips on how to leave the sticky embrace of the Googleplex, should you wish to do so.

• If you've ever fancied buying a slice of prehistory, then you might like to know that Bonhams is preparing an auction of dinosaur fossils, to be held early next month in Las Vegas. The star exhibit? A 40-foot T-Rex specimen called "Samson" that's expected to raise as much as $8m. Anyone up for a quick whip round? It'd look smashing in my office.
