Depends on how they split it up, but this could be very bad for consumers. One of the plans is to spin off Chrome which sounds like a total disaster for web standards. Probably go with an obnoxious monetization scheme beyond licensing Googl

If US govt really cared about OS-level security vulnerabilities from malicious apps, a better strategy would be to require Apple, Google, and Microsoft to make their OS 100% source-available (non-duplication) and encourage serious industry

I'm colorblind and have to call bullshit on all the people crying because they "saw red" for the first time. Try out "color vision" on your computer with a software-based screen filter that shifts the color intensit

This is the same kind of naive calculation that people used to say Donald Trump would have made more money investing in index funds - start with 100% of the principal and do nothing else with it. A big understated problem with a gradual wea
