Report: Rupert Murdoch "Ready To Sue" Google

,----[ Quote ]
| Although a few months have passed since the 
| last big flareup, News Corp. may still be 
| willing to go to war with Google.  A fresh 
| report indicates that Rupert Murdoch is 
| indeed prepared to take the search giant to 
| court, and has been talking to Microsoft 
| about an exclusive deal, too.

Microsoft backs away from Murdoch love-in

,----[ Quote ]
| Or at least, Microsoft is not prepared to
| go exclusive with the hard-nosed Aussie and
| other media moguls. Not this week, anyway.
|
| Reports last week said that the two firms -
| who share a common interest in slapping
| Google - were working on a deal that would
| lead to News Corp's content only being
| available through Microsoft's Bing search
| engine. In exchange for some Microsoft
| cash, of course.

MS kills 'Bing buys the news' furore, but Google could still lose it

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has firmly ruled out the notion
| of paying news publishers to de-index their
| content from Google. But you knew that
| already. Speaking at the unveiling of new
| Bing features in San Francisco yesterday,
| senior online services VP Satya Nadella
| said that Microsoft was not focused on
| getting exclusive content, and that "there
| is no real intent here that is focused on
| getting a whole bunch of content that is
| de-indexed from Google".

Huffington: News Corp.'s Google-Free Ploy 'Ain't Gonna Happen'

,----[ Quote ]
| Count Arianna Huffington among those who

| favor of giving Bing exclusive access.
|
| "I'll gladly wager my share of The Huffington
| Post that this ain't gonna happen," she said
| this morning at the Federal Trade Commission
| workshop "How Will Journalism Survive the
| Internet Age."

Times Online denies knowledge of link spam campaign

,----[ Quote ]
| Piotr Wyspianski, a manager at Sitelynx, was revealed on the Waxy.org blog to
| have waged a one-man campaign to game web aggregation communities such as
| Digg, Metafilter and StumbleUpon with over a thousand links to Times Online
| stories. Before working for Sitelynx, he had form for a similar astroturfing
| effort for his own online jewellery store.
|
| Predictably, the Waxy.org story has hit the front page of Digg and some
| Diggers have piled in to condemn Times Online, blaming a conspiracy by the
| original Digger himself. "I haven't respected The Times since Murdoch bought
| it, since that effectively means I can no longer trust its content. Fuck you
| old man!" wrote one.

| engaged in reverse engineering -- looking at a technology product to
| determine how it works, a standard in the electronics industry.
