Google, saying, “...the court reaches the following conclusion: Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly. It has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act.” Nearly a year later, the judge has followed that up with a ruling on remedies for Google’s search monopoly.

The Strangers – Chapter 2 is hitting theaters soon, continuing the story from the 2024 reboot. The trailer hints at a hospital stalking tale in the vein of 1982’s Halloween II. But it’s hard to imagine any Strangers take ever topping the 2008 original, a brutal slice of home-invasion agony that suggests even the most ruthless evil can be as simple as it is random.
