Expedia adds to Google's EU antitrust woes, decision expected after Easter

Expedia adds to Google's EU antitrust woes, decision expected after Easter
Google's position as the dominant search engine doesn't come without a price. Smaller search sites have already tapped on the EU Commission's door to register their complaints about how they are ranked, and Microsoft has also let its feelings on the matter be known.

In last week's Get Rich or Die Trying article, I mentioned that "tech is a zero-sum, winner takes all game".

Dreams are nice. Yachts are better.

Specialized Turbo e-bike is too fast and furious for the western world (video)
While not quite the fastest commercially available e-bike in the world as some have suggested (as far as we can tell, that claim belongs to a DIY kit out of Taiwan by a company called Cyclone), the Specialized Turbo is still a speedy little beast.
