Owners of Yandex NV (NASDAQ:YNDX) benefited from a push upwards yesterday with a 7.25% increase in the stock price following an announcement that Russia's Federal Antimonopoly Service determined Google Inc. (GOOG) was guilty of taking unfair advantage of its dominant position in the search space.

Yandex NV (NASDAQ:YNDX), a leader in the search engine space for consumers in Russia, took offense to how Google Inc. (GOOG) essentially used a domineering posture by requiring Russian Android phones to have the Google search engine pre-installed. They were also found to give special treatment for where a number of Google mobile apps are located within their mobile operating system. Similarly, it was only in 2014 that a number of device manufacturers found they were unable to install Yandex apps on Android devices pre-installed in the same way that Google does today. The interesting distinction is that whilst Yandex controls 60% of search traffic within Russia currently, smartphone users see a different picture with Google controlling 86% of the Russian search market.

Bank Of Scotland Android App Review

Members of the Bank of Scotland can use the Bank of Scotland Android App for almost anything. This banking app allows users to accomplish a wide range of tasks, including finding the nearest bank branch or ATM in the United Kingdom (non-members can use this feature, too), and log in on your mobile device while you are on the go. Having logged in, users can view their balances and transactions, make and schedule payments, manage any overdrafts and pay attendant fees, and get in touch with Bank of Scotland representatives with questions about internet banking or their account in general.

Money Management On Mobile Devices

Any person that currently owns an iPad should always be on the lookout for mobile applications that would help them to alter the way that they are handling important tasks on a daily basis. Life can be very difficult if you do not have the right tools available to turn to. However, I have been able to use Personal Capital to help me deal with many issues related to my finances. One of the reasons why I decided to purchase an iPad would be the fact that I am always on the road. I needed a device that would be easy to pick up while also providing all of the functions I already enjoyed on my iPhone.
