Google taps top Obama Supreme Court lawyer for search antitrust appeal
Alphabet's Google has hired Donald Verrilli Jr , the U.S. solicitor general during the Barack Obama administration, to appeal a judge's ruling that the tech titan has an unlawful monopoly in online search, Google confirmed on Tuesday. Verrilli's hire is a key first step in Google's legal fight to undo the ruling, which it has said could pose a threat to its business. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta last year ruled Google holds an unlawful monopoly in online search and related advertising, and is considering proposals to make the tech titan sell off its popular Chrome browser, or share data that CEO Sundar Pichai says would allow competitors reverse engineer its search engine. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Google has argued the DOJ failed to prove that competition was harmed by its exclusive agreements with device makers such as Apple to preload Google as the default search engine on new devices.

Google to launch Pixel 10 series on August 13, Pixel 10 Pro leak offers first look at design
Just days after Google invited fans to its exclusive Pixel Superfans programme event in London, we now have a much clearer picture of when the Pixel 10 series will officially launch. According to multiple reports, including information from trusted leaker MysteryLupin and sources speaking to Android Headlines, Google is reportedly planning to unveil the Pixel 10 lineup on August 13. That's the same date the Pixel 9 series launched last year, and if all goes according to plan, pre-orders will begin on the same day. Shipments are said to begin on August 20, two days earlier than last year's the confirmed event date, we've also got our first look at what seems to be the Pixel 10 Pro. The leaked set of images, reshared by Mystic Leaks, doesn't show a dramatic design overhaul. If these images are the real deal, expect flat sides, a horizontal camera bar at the back, and minimal bezels up front — just like the Pixel 9 Pro. Credit: Mystery Leaks/ Telegram The Pixel 10 series will reportedly include four models this year: the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. One of the biggest expected changes is under the hood — all devices are likely to run on Google's next-gen Tensor G5 chip, said to be manufactured by TSMC. This could bring noticeable improvements in performance and efficiency, especially addressing heating and battery concerns from previous Pixel In terms of software, the new phones are expected to debut with Android 16, packed with AI features across the board. We could see advanced editing tools in Google Photos like Video Generative ML, Speak-to-Tweak voice commands for photo edits, and Sketch-to-Image capabilities that can turn rough drawings into more polished visuals — all powered by on-device also talk of Google finally bringing a triple-camera setup to the base Pixel 10 model — something that's been reserved for the Pro line until now. However, not all changes will be upgrades. Some sensors on the standard model might be similar to what we saw in the Pixel 9a, including a possible downgrade in the ultra-wide camera. Still, Google's image processing software has always played a key role in delivering great photos, so the real-world difference might not be too stark. We'll have to wait and less than two months to go until the rumoured launch, there's still more to learn about the Pixel 10 lineup.
