What a surprise to read that Google rose 6.3 percent to capture 42.7 percent of the 6.4 billion searches conducted online.
How sad for Microsoft that it’s share of the search market dropped 3.3 percent to 13.2 percent. Well ok, not really sad. Yay Google!
I was a little surprised to read that Yahoo is down 2.6 percent to 28 percent. At least Yahoo is still beating MSN.
Apple hit with patent lawsuit
SAN FRANCISCO (Business 2.0 Magazine) - Burst.com, a two-person Internet video company, has sued Apple, claiming that its iTunes and QuickTime software violate Burst’s patents.
Techdirt says the move was expected after Apple (Research) filed suit earlier this year to have the court declare Burst’s patents invalid.
Last year, Burst brought a patent-infringement lawsuit about Internet video delivery against Microsoft (Research), settling the case for $60 million after alleging that Microsoft tried to crush the company.
