Apple’s deals with Google largely unaffected in antitrust case ruling

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-10-14 03:47:32

Following months of testimony for the remedies phase of the Google antitrust trial, Judge Amit Mehta just issued his decision, and it is largely beneficial to Apple’s deals with Alphabet. Here are the details. Almost a year ago to the date, the Department of Justice won its case against Google, in which it was able to convince Judge Mehta that Google had a monopoly over online search. The case then entered the remedies phase, which collected testimony from multiple parties involved in Google’s

US v. Google: all the news from the search antitrust showdown

theverge.com Verge Staff 2025-10-14 03:19:57

On August 5th, 2024, Judge Amit Mehta ruled in the case of United States of America v. 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. While lawyers for the Department of Justice had argued that Google should be broken up and forced to split off products

Google will not be forced to break up its search business, but a federal judge has tentatively ordered other changes to the tech giant’s business practices to keep it from further anticompetitive behavior. U.S. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta outlined remedies on Tuesday that would bar Google from entering or maintaining exclusive deals that tie the distribution of Search, Chrome, Google Assistant, or Gemini to other apps or revenue arrangements.

Stressed Ice Generates Electricity, Researchers Find

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-14 15:50:33

Don’t mess with ice. When it’s stressed, ice can get seriously sparky. Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice—the same substance found in iced coffee or the frosty sprinkle on mountaintops—is imbued with remarkable electromechanical properties. Ice is flexoelectric, so when it’s bent, stretched, or twisted, it can generate electricity, according to a Nature Physics paper published August 27. What’s more, ice’s peculiar electric properties appear to change with temperature, leading researc

Scientists in Florida, Texas, and California made the case in a paper published last month in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases.

A forgotten medieval fruit with a vulgar name (2021)

Medieval Europeans were fanatical about a strange fruit that could only be eaten rotten. Then it was forgotten altogether. Why did they love it so much? And why did it disappear? In 2011, archaeologists found something unusual in a Roman toilet. The team were excavating the ancient village of Tasgetium (now Eschenz, Switzerland), ruled by a Celtic king who was personally given the land by Julius Caesar. It was built on the banks of the river Rhine, along what was then an important trade route
