Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Baidu, Inc.

TeleNav, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNAV) is getting horse whipped this morning as its earnings report brought on woes of its Sprint revenues.  This company has been public a very short time.  Shares are down almost 30% at $6.30 this morning, but only on about 10,000 shares.
