Google Loses D.C. Head, Addresses Android Concerns

Plus: Google+ could open up to younger users

Google is losing the head of its D.C. office, Alan Davidson, who announced via an internal memo that he'll be leaving the company later this month. "I've decided it's the right moment for me to leave my current role at the company. Starting later this month, I will be taking a sabbatical to explore other opportunities," he wrote.

Davidson, who joined Google six and a half years ago, is departing as the company faces investigations from the FTC, which is reportedly looking into claims that Google favors its own products in search results, as well as a Senate Judiciary antitrust subcommittee, whose own probe is focusing on Google’s relationship with Android handset makers.
