O processo antitruste do governo dos EUA contra o Google pode oferecer uma grande oportunidade para a Microsoft aumentar o uso de seu mecanismo de busca Bing, anos depois de abandonar uma longa campanha de reparação legal.

De 2007 a 2015, a Microsoft fez lobby, financiou ações judiciais, encomendou pesquisas e trabalhos acadêmicos e até publicou comerciais de TV, para tentar fazer reguladores barrarem o que considerava práticas anticompetitivas do Google.

A campanha falhou em mudar o comportamento do Google ou aumentar a participação de mercado do Bing, de acordo com ex-funcionários da Microsoft envolvidos no esforço. Satya Nadella matou o programa cortando fundos e pessoal quando assumiu como presidente-executivo em 2015, disseram fontes.

Google: processo por monopólio 'não ajudará consumidores’

O Google dominou a busca na web e os mercados de anúncios de busca pagando bilhões de dólares a fabricantes de smartphones, operadoras de celular e navegadores para promover seu mecanismo de busca e puni-los por exibir rivais, alega o governo.

O Google negou as alegações e chamou o processo e de “profundamente falho”.

Cerca de 80% das pesquisas na web nos EUA passam por pontos de distribuição que o Google agora possui ou controla, deixando o Bing com cerca de 7% do mercado como o concorrente mais próximo, diz o processo.

Se a resposta da Microsoft a um processo antitruste do governo 20 anos atrás servir de guia, o Google pode agir com mais cautela contra os rivais enquanto o caso se desenrola.

A Microsoft não quis comentar sobre esta reportagem.

A Microsoft financiou e administrou grupos anti-Google, incluindo FairSearch e Icomp, trazendo a bordo outros inimigos do Google, incluindo Expedia, Yelp, News Corp e Oracle, disseram fontes.

Sites patrocinados pela Microsoft promoveram artigos levantando preocupações sobre a segurança dos serviços em nuvem do Google, disse uma fonte. Um funcionário da Microsoft se concentrou em criar laços com pequenas empresas prejudicadas pelo Google, disseram outras fontes, com algumas das operações subsistindo de fundos da Microsoft.

Duke Kahanamoku reflects on surfing, Olympics, and old Hawaii in 1966 interview

Duke Kahanamoku is the most influential surfer of all time and is often hailed as the father of modern surfing. There is nearly no one questioning these titles. Recently, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Hawaii unveiled a never-before-seen interview with the legendary surfer and Olympic swimmer. In the 1966 episode of Pau Hana Years, a seminal Hawaii television program that aired on KHET-TV (now PBS Hawaii) for 16 years, running from 1966 until 1982, Bob Barker chats with Duke Kahanamoku, then 76. The conversation drifts from royal ancestry to Olympic lanes, from Hollywood sets to a surfboard shaped by hand, tracing the outline of a life that helped define modern surfing and Hawaii's public image in the 20th century. And if you know little about the man who dreamed of getting surfing into the Olympic Games, this is a precious piece of history. A name with history, worn casually The interview starts with Kahanamoku explaining that "Duke" is not a title but his giv...

The hydrodynamics of surfboard fins

Have you ever wondered why a surfboard fin looks like that? It is a single or a set of fixed blades or keels located under a board, near the tail, often no bigger than a hand. Yet that small surface is where much of the surfboard's behavior takes place. Speed, hold, looseness, and the feeling of control all trace back to how water moves around fins. The physics of surfboard fins falls under hydrodynamics, the study of how fluids behave in motion. So, according to science, they feature a shape designed to turn flowing water into several forces. Let's take a look at what's at stake when fins and water interact. Lift and the feeling of control One of the key variables in hydrodynamic terms involving surfboard fins is lift. When a surfer leans into a turn, the board tilts and the fins meet the water at an angle. The angle is enough to create a pressure difference between the two sides of the fin. Water speeds up on one side and slows on the other. The result is a sidewa...

How paddleboarding transforms your body and mind

Adventure is on our doorstep. With so many different bodies of water available to paddleboarders, from city canals to coastal routes, we can find adventure in places much closer to home than people might initially expect. According to the Canal and River Trust, 50 percent of people in England and Wales live within just eight kilometers of a canal or river, and eight million people live less than one kilometer away. I had lived within just a few kilometers of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal for years and never really explored it before stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) came into my life . The challenge created both a new perspective and a deeper love for where I lived and the areas which I passed through. On my coast-to-coast journey, I slept in my own bed for two nights as the route passed through my then hometown of Skipton, yet I felt I was on a grand journey of discovery. We are braver, stronger, and more resilient than we think. SUP not only helps us feel more connected to our va...
