Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Monday acknowledged the importance of making its search engine the default in keeping users loyal -- a key point in a once-in-a generation US antitrust fight focused on billions of dollars Google paid to be the default on laptops and smartphones. Google, which started paying for default status on devices in 2005, monitored for compliance. At one point, the company expressed concern to Apple that its Safari browser would send particular queries, especially lucrative ones, to companies like Amazon.com. "We were obviously doing the deal for default placement," said Pichai. Under cross-examination, Pichai said of Google's tens of billions in annual payments for default status: "We definitely see value." The US government brought the case over whether Google acted illegally to maintain its dominance of online search and parts of search advertising. If the government wins, the company may be forced to scrap some business practices

There is plenty of great Horse Racing across America on Saturday, including Keeneland race track . We have been in fine form with our picks for a long time now, as we are up +149.15 units with our race selections to our recommended stakes dating back to August 5, 2021. Let’s keep it rolling! Here are our best bets for today’s action at Keeneland. 3:40 pm ET  Keeneland (Race 6) – Royal Slipper 4/1 (2-star play) Race 6 at Keeneland is the 6-furlong Bowman Mill Stakes taking place on the dirt course and the only filly in this field, Royal Slipper, could come out on top for Wesley Ward and his team. She went wire-to-wire when winning by an impressive 4.75 lengths over course and distance in her debut a few weeks ago and will be tough to beat if improving on that. 4:44 pm ET  Keeneland (Race 8) – Mo Stash 12/1 (1-star play) A field of 10 is set to take to the track for the Grade 3 Bryan Station Stakes in which More Than Looks is likely to be a warm order, but Mo Stash was a winner

NASA Just Saw Something Come Out Of A Black Hole For The First Time Ever Andromeda is on a collision course with our galaxy. Now begins the best time of year to capture it with the naked eye. You don’t need to be an expert in Science to understand that black holes often pull things in rather than spit them out. However, NASA has just discovered something quite weird around the supermassive black hole Markarian 335. This diagram shows how a shifting feature, called a corona, can create a flare of X-rays around a black hole. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Two NASA satellite telescopes, including the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), witnessed a black hole’s corona being “launched” away from a supermassive black hole. Then a huge burst of X-ray energy emitted. So, what precisely happened? That is what scientists are currently trying to understand. “This is the first time we have been able to link the launching of the corona to a flare,”

Economists expect growth to have nearly doubled from previous quarter. The U.S. economy is expected to have grown at a blistering pace over the three months ending in September, fueling optimism about the nation's outlook but complicating the fight to dial back inflation. Fresh GDP data to be released on Thursday is expected to reinforce other recent indicators of a strong economy resisting the Federal Reserve's effort to cool prices increases with a slowdown. A blockbuster jobs report earlier this month exceeded economist expect ations by nearly twofold. Consumer spending, which accounts for nearly three- quarter s of U.S. economic activity, surged in September, according to data released last week. Economists expect GDP to have grown at 4.3% annualized rate over the three-month period ending in September -- a rate nearly twice as fast as the previous quarter . U.S. GDP grew at a 2.4% annualized rate over three months ending in June, which marked an advance from the rate rec

After shaking up the economy of the car and rocket launch industries, Elon Musk now takes an ax to another frayed Business model – space communications – by filling the skies with thousands of satellites that transmit the internet to isolated populations. Elon Musk recently revealed details on how people will access StarLink. It will be incredibly simple and it will allow access to the global internet relatively free from anywhere on the planet. 1,000 satellites will be enough to enable basic service, Musk has said. As of today, about 1,300 satellites have been launched and are orbiting the Earth. “Starlink Terminal has motors to self-adjust optimal angle to view sky. Instructions are simply: plug in socket, point at sky. These instructions work in either order. No training required.” Musk said. Broadband from space already exists, but it relies on geostationary satellites that orbit more than 22,200 miles from Earth, making connections too

MUMMIFIED three-fingered and three-toed bodies allegedly found in a tomb in Peru once walked the Earth as non-human beings, it has staggeringly been claimed. Scientists working on a project to prove that our ancient ancestors may have been visited by aliens have made the “world changing” A bizarre mummified alien corpse in a remote cemetery in Nazca, Peru. Mainstream scientists and archaeologists have branded it a sick hoax. It said the corpses were made using genuine mummified human remains from the burglarized areas. However, a team of researchers and scientists working with conspiracy theory websites Gaia.com continues to investigate the remains and claims they have proven that it is not a reconstructed scam. And these creatures used to walk the earth as they appeared. The strangest mummy is the three short humanoids, which are said to have reptile-like skin. head like an alien and three fingers and three toes Dr Raymundo Salas Alfaro.Pe

Week 7 of the 2023 NFL campaign wraps up with Monday Night Football between the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings. Both teams made the playoffs last season, but they are going in opposite directions so far this year. The 49ers are 5-1 and looking every bit like a Super Bowl squad despite losing to the Browns in Week 4. Unfortunately for the Vikings, they are saddled with a 2-4 record and star receiver Justin Jefferson is on injured reserve. On paper this contest doesn’t look to be overly competitive, but we can spice it up with some betting action. Here is my Same Game Parlay for the festivities, which kick off at 8:15 pm ET on ABC.

Biden said a convoy of trucks may be allowed inside on Friday. While desperately needed humanitarian aid is still locked outside of Gaza, there were some signs of progress toward implementing an agreement that President Joe Biden says will ultimately allow a convoy of 20 trucks filled with food, water and medical supplies to enter though Egypt, officials said on Thursday. Matthew Miller, the State Department's lead spokesperson, said that the administration's newly appointed Special Envoy for Middle East Humanitarian Issues David Satterfield was on the ground in Israel where he was working with Israeli and Egyptian officials to "develop the exact mechanisms to implement the framework" of the agreement to open the Rafah border gate to aid that was negotiated by the president and Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Biden, who is set to deliver a primetime speech calling for aid to Israel following the terror attacks by Hamas, previously said he anticipated that the Raf

The fossilized bones, in particular, could suggest people lived in North America tens of thousands of years before the generally accepted date for the arrival of the first Native Americans of about 10,000 B.C. BCE. The excavation site mostly holds broken bones from the mammoths’ ribs and spine. The most prominent fossil is a portion of the adult mammoth’s skull. Timothy Rowe / The University of Texas at Austin Mammoth bones and “ghost” footprints of ancient people are the latest evidence in a scientific debate about when the first humans reached the Americas. The fossilized bones, in particular, could suggest people lived in North America tens of thousands of years before the generally accepted date for the arrival of the first Native Americans of about 10,000 B.C. Researchers say radiocarbon dates of chemicals in the mammoth bones, from a mother and her calf, indicate the Animals lived about 37,000 years ago in what’s now New Mexico. Patterns of fractures on t
