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

theverge.com Verge Staff 2025-10-20 14:19:57

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

You don't want to hire "the best engineers"

“We only want to hire the best engineers” I hear this from almost every client I speak to. So does every other recruiter. Seriously - just say those eight words to any room full of recruiting people, and everyone will give a wry chuckle and roll their eyes. We've all heard it a million times. “We only want to hire the best engineers.” No. No, you do not. The best engineers make more than your entire payroll.

Final Fantasy Tactics: Ivalice Chronicles Director Says 'That' Boss Fight Still Wrecks Him

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-21 22:00:05

Last week was the first time I picked up Final Fantasy Tactics since finishing it back in 1998. One infamous boss battle scarred me so badly that I never went back -- and given its reputation among fans, I know I'm not alone. So when I had the chance to talk with Kazutoyo Maehiro, part of the original dev team and now director of the upcoming remaster, Final Fantasy Tactics: Ivalice Chronicles, I jumped at it. I needed to know why they made that one fight so brutal. My question for Maehiro: "Ba

The ‘Final Fantasy Tactics’ Refresh Gives Its Class-War Story New Relevance

Kazutoyo Maehiro is feeling the pressure. Nearly 30 years after working on the original version of Final Fantasy Tactics—one of the role-playing series’ most adored games—he’s returned to pilot a remake of the game, switching titles from events planner to director. Besides that, little has changed, including how Maehiro himself thinks about game design. “Really, the approach that we wanted to take was modernizing [Final Fantasy Tactics],” he tells WIRED via a translator. “Players today expect a

Spiritual Influencers Say ‘Sentient’ AI Can Help You Solve Life’s Mysteries

In May, a group of about 40 people stood in a circle deep within the Pyramid of Khafre, the second-largest of the three pyramids looming over Egypt’s Giza Plateau, holding hands and praying for Earth. Suddenly, their tour guide, an American mathematician and author named Robert Edward Grant, collapsed. He later described the experience in an interview with WIRED as a full-body electric shock emanating from somewhere beneath the chamber’s stone floor. “I felt electricity coming through my hands,

A virtual private network (VPN) is one of the best ways to encrypt your online communication, mask your IP address, circumvent censorship, and enhance your personal privacy. Many users simply download their chosen VPN's desktop or mobile software, install the app, sign in, choose a server, and go. However, you can also install your VPN on your router or purchase one with the service pre-installed.

Sideloading has been a hot topic for the last decade. Most recently, Google has announced further restrictions on the practice in Android.

Why haven't quantum computers factored 21 yet?

In 2001, quantum computers factored the number 15. It’s now 2025, and quantum computers haven’t yet factored the number 21. It’s sometimes claimed this is proof there’s been no progress in quantum computers. But there’s actually a much more surprising reason 21 hasn’t been factored yet, which jumps out at you when contrasting the operations used to factor 15 and to factor 21. The circuit (the series of quantum logic gates) that was run to factor 15 can be seen in Figure 1b of “Experimental real

Antarctica Is Changing Rapidly. The Consequences Could Be Dire
