Judge Rules Against Users Suing Google and Apple Over ‘Annoying’ Search Results
In an order (PDF) granting the tech companies’ motion to dismiss, US District Judge Rita Lin said that users did not present enough evidence to support claims for relief. Lin dismissed some claims with prejudice but gave leave to amend others, allowing users another chance to keep their case — now twice-dismissed — at least partially alive. Under Lin’s order, users will not be able to amend claims that Google and Apple executives allegedly sealed the default search deal on the condition that Apple would not create its own general search engine through “private, secret, and clandestine personal meetings.” Because plaintiffs showed no evidence pinpointing exactly when Apple allegedly agreed to stay out of the general search market, these meetings, Lin reasoned, could just as easily indicate “rational, legal business behavior,” rather than an “illegal conspiracy.”
Users attempted to argue that Google and Apple intentionally hid these facts from the public, but Lin wrote that their “conclusory and vague allegations that defendants ‘secretly conducted meetings’ and ‘engaged in conduct to obfuscate internal communications’ are plainly insufficient.” Sharing bystander photos documenting Google’s Sundar Pichai and Apple’s Tim Cook meeting at a restaurant with a manila folder tucked under Pichai’s elbow did not help users’ case. Lin was also not moved by users demonstrating that Google has a history of destroying evidence, because “they put forth no specific factual allegations that defendants did so in this case.” However, users will have 30 days to amend currently “inadequately” alleged claims that “Google’s exclusive default agreement, under which Apple set Google as the default search engine for its Safari web browser, foreclosed competition in the general search services market in the United States,” Lin wrote. If users miss that deadline, the case will be tossed with no opportunities to further amend claims.

Android’s Circle to Search is déjà vu all over again
Over the past several days, I’ve been exploring what might just be one of the most meaningful Android advancements in recent memory.
It’s a shiny new feature that’s poised to change the very way we interact with our devices. It’s also one of those things you really have to experience to fully grasp — because it’s essentially taking an existing function and reframing how we use it. But subtle of a shift as that may be, it is incredibly significant in terms of real-world value.
The feature, while technically brand new and in the midst of rolling out to a very small subset of Android devices right now, is also quite familiar. In fact, if you’ve been paying attention to Android for long, you’ll almost certainly make the connection between it and an eerily similar system from nearly a decade ago.
Google’s podcast search results can now open shows directly in Apple Podcasts
Google has made it easier to stream from Apple Podcasts and others when searching for podcasts in Google Search. After earlier this year winding down a feature that let users play podcasts directly from search results, the company said it would “gradually” shift to a new design that would instead offer information about podcasts and […]

Tears of the Kingdom causes NSFW Zelda search spike, even if it is a bit weird
Because people just can’t seem to help themselves, searches for NSFW Zelda content have skyrocketed after the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
I know two things to be true in life: water is wet, and people love to go on to the internet and make NSFW content about generally SFW things. In this particular case, you probably might be grossed out to hear, searches for NSFW Zelda content have absolutely skyrocketed (pun not intended) following the recent release of Tears of the Kingdom over on Pornhub.
It unfortunately comes with the territory when it comes to a game like this, but it’s definitely a bit weird considering we don’t quite know how old Zelda herself is in the sequel. She turns 17 in the first game (no, it doesn’t count that she’s technically 117), and we don’t know how much time has passed between the two games. Link is around the same age as Zelda in the first game, as covered by Polygon, so I would advise taking this into consideration before searching for yourself.
