I was wondering the same. I thought Skype is a M$ product. If they had used WhatsApp it would not surprise me that much.

Jon von Tetzchner, the founder of both Opera and Vivaldi, believes that Google has gotten too big and "is now in a position where regulation is needed." Oh, but they'd never do evil, would they?

Everything is relative. For example, the Federal Reserve is the huge elephant in the room that everyone ignores and which makes Google look like a mouse.
Odd how we frown upon the potential evil of Google when the historical evils of the Federal Reserve are there for all to see. The US debt is close to $7,000,000,000,000 and it ain't Google that is collecting the huge interest payments from fiat loans 'graciously provided' by the Fed.
Me thinks people have their priorities in the wrong place!

Nine years after going open source, Reddit is archiving the source code for its website and mobile apps. The source code will still be accessible, but will no longer be updated -- Reddit cites concerns about competition as one of the reasons for the change in direction. Open for thee, but not for me

Why didn't everybody just get that? If you leave the cookies out..

A team of researchers from the U.S. and China has demonstrated electronic devices that can degrade and disappear on demand using nothing but moisture in the air. Oh good: because mine always disappear whenever they feel like it

Mine degrade as soon as warrantee runs out.

So you ran away? Or did you mean warranty?

I think it will be different than previous wars...
In past war was about controlling resources between those who already had a lot, but with AI resources will be divide in a more business like way and the real war will be between those who control and those who don't want to be controlled...

that will be only the first AI war...
the second one will be probably machines trying to defeat that pest of humanity and humans fighting to avoid extinction.
And yes... I know this is not possible blah blah, only films blah blah...

What today is written as science fiction will (or can) be reminded as history in the future.

We've already got that between the media and those who vote "the wrong way" 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

[^]Quote: Apple launched a public blog in July to talk about its work, for example, and has allowed its researchers to speak at several conferences on artificial intelligence, including a TED Talk in April by Tom Gruber, co-creator of Apple’s Siri voice assistant, that was posted on YouTube last month.
...
Indeed many big tech companies have embraced academia’s relative transparency. They have aggressively recruited top researchers over the years such as Yann LeCun of New York University, who joined Facebook in 2013, and Geoffrey Hinton of the University of Toronto, who joined Alphabet’s Google unit in 2013. The companies together also have churned out hundreds of research papers over the past several years.
Apple was slow to follow, AI analysts and leading researchers say. And even since its public embrace of greater transparency, it has published a fraction of its competitors’ research, and its scientists have avoided speaking about Apple-related research at conferences.
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)
