The usually quiet month of August this week kicks off with a trial Monday over the Justice Department’s antitrust lawsuit challenging Penguin Random House’s pending acquisition of rival Simon & Schuster. We’re also watching Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk’s countersuit against Twitter (TWTR), which he filed Friday as part of his ongoing efforts to walk away from his $44 billion agreement to acquire the social media site. And after more than a year of delays, Boeing (BA) reportedly has the Federal… Source link

Goldman Sachs chairman and CEO David Solomon thinks it would be wise for investors to pay extra attention to the path of corporate earnings in the weeks ahead. “I do see a little bit more market volatility — but I think the volatility at this point, the market is expecting,” Solomon said on Yahoo Finance Live at the firm’s 10,000 Small Businesses Summit (video above). “I think you’ve got to watch corporate earnings. And up to this point, corporate earnings have hung in reasonably well. But… Source link

“The system has given big players like Google a host of tools to delay justice and inflict pain on smaller competitors at little risk to their deep pockets.” The debate over patent reform is heating up again. Last month, Google published a blog post on patent reform, purportedly aimed at promoting American innovation. In it, Google decried the rising tide of “wasteful patent litigation,” railed against the disfavored practice of “forum shopping” and advocated for… Source link

This holiday-shortened week, Yahoo Finance is tracking three major legal stories: the Supreme Court’s impending decision on whether to overturn Roe v. Wade; Apple’s response to a historic labor union vote; and Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s ongoing feud with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Here’s more on these three stories: Will the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade? The case is slated to determine whether the U.S. will continue to guarantee a Constitutional right to elective abortion,… Source link

Any modern smartwatch worth its salt comes with swappable straps. So it’s no surprise that Google is reportedly working on a number of strap options for its forthcoming Pixel Watch. According to 9to5Google, the company is making at least seven straps — including the one showcased during the I/O keynote — for when the smartwatch launches this fall. So far, 9to5Google is reporting that Google’s working on a Milanese-style mesh band, two types of leather bands, a link bracelet, a… Source link

Like many MMA fans, UFC president Dana White found himself screaming at a screen during the conclusion of the UFC 275 main event between Jiri Prochazka and Glover Teixeira. White, who was not in attendance at Singapore Indoor Stadium, watched the pay-per-view Saturday on a screen in what appeared to be a luxury party vehicle. White did not make the trip overseas as he stayed in the U.S. for his son’s 21st birthday celebration in Miami, but he still tuned in for what turned out to be a… Source link

“I worry less about whether we have done something early or not,” says Pichai. “You know, the Newton came well before the iPad. Just because something was done a long time ago, ideas can be ahead of their time.” If you were to find a modern parallel for Google Glass, which was unveiled in 2013 amidst a wave of sartorial and privacy-related scepticism before being quietly shelved two years later, it probably would be Apple’s short-lived personal digital assistant (PDA). Newton’s… Source link

A bounce in U.S. stocks last week snapped a seven-week losing streak for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, while the Dow logged gains for the first time in eight weeks. These gains ended the longest weekly losing streak in over a decade for the S&P 500 after the index tip-toed into bear market territory. All three major indexes logged weekly gains of at least 5%, buoyed by a batch of upbeat economic data and more positively received earnings reports from the retail sector. The S&P 500 has snapped a… Source link

When Google and Samsung announced Wear OS 3 last year, I had lots of questions about how well Google services would run on Samsung hardware. Of Google’s expansive suite of apps, I was most curious about Google Assistant. The only catch was it wasn’t available when the Galaxy Watch 4 lineup launched — and there were only vague promises as to when it would actually be available. But yesterday, Google Assistant finally arrived on the Galaxy Watch 4, and after a few hours of playing… Source link

Good news for Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 owners: the wait is over. Google Assistant is finally available for download starting today. Google Assistant for Wear OS 3 is available for download in the Google Play Store and can be launched from the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic’s app menu. However, you can also use voice commands to open Google Assistant or reprogram the watches’ home button as a shortcut. This update has been a long time coming. When Google and Samsung first announced… Source link
