Microsoft to stop packaging Teams and Office software in Europe to head off EU antitrust action

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:02:47 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Microsoft will stop packaging its Teams videoconferencing app with its Office software in Europe in an effort to head off antitrust penalties by regulators. The tech giant also said Thursday that it would take steps to make it easier for competing products to work alongside its software. The announcement comes a month after the European Union’s executive Commission, the 27-nation bloc’s top competition enforcer, opened a formal investigation over concerns that bundling Teams with Office gives the company an unfair edge over competitors. The investigation was triggered by a complaint filed in 2020 by Slack Technologies, maker of popular workplace messaging software. Slack, owned by business software maker Salesforce, alleged that Microsoft was abusing its market dominance to eliminate competition — in violation of EU laws — by illegally combining Teams with its Office suite, which includes Word, Excel and Outlook.“Today we are announcing proactive chan...

FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. (AP) — As the sun rose on an unusually steamy opening day of the Minnesota State Fair, Jeff Knott and his two daughters joined the already long breakfast line outside the Hamline Church Dining Hall.The Lutheran family, at the fair to show the teen girls’ pigs Billy and Lil’ Red, favor this Methodist all-volunteer diner for its early opening, variety of foods including the signature “hamloaf” sandwich, and religious mission. “They use their proceeds for mission work, which I think is important,” Knott said before the family bowed their heads to say grace at the hall’s bustling tables. “Can’t get deep fried Oreos, though,” quipped Elsie Knott, 13. Faith offerings are plentiful and deep-rooted at the late-summer agricultural fairs that, nationwide, bring together 4-H children parading their prize animals and political candidates unleashing their ambitions.Here in the middle of the Twin Cities, in addition to two church dining halls that have served up hot meals fo...

McConnell’s frozen moment renews questions about America’s aged leaders

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:02:47 GMT

(CNN) — It was an excruciating moment of powerlessness for one of Washington’s most powerful men.Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s words dried up and he froze, standing silent and staring straight ahead for around 30 painful seconds in the middle of a press conference Wednesday – the second time he had endured such an uncomfortable on-camera ordeal since July. It is not clear whether it has happened more times away from the public’s gaze. But for a proud senator who has dominated the chamber for many years, the momentary loss of lucidity is embarrassing at the very least, and could become an increasing political problem.The 81-year-old Kentucky Republican was able to resume his remarks, haltingly answering a question on the commonwealth’s gubernatorial race, and later attended a fundraiser for a Senate candidate. But his misfortune immediately revived questions about his health and age – especially since he suffered a concussion in a fall earlier this year. His office insiste...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:02:47 GMT

New York (CNN) — Drivers hitting the roads this Labor Day weekend will be greeted by historically high gas prices for this time of the year.The record-high for gas prices during the week leading up to Labor Day was set in 2012 at $3.84 a gallon, according to a CNN review of federal data that goes back to 1990.Current prices are just shy of that. The national average for regular gas ticked up to $3.83 a gallon on Wednesday, according to AAA.Normally, prices at the pump cool off as the summer winds down. Not this summer.For a variety of reasons — including OPEC holding back supply and extreme heat that has messed with refineries — gas prices have steadily increased this summer. The national average price for regular gas stood at $3.58 a gallon on Memorial Day, the unofficial start to summer.“This is abnormal. Prices normally fade towards the end of the summer,” said John LaForge, head of real asset strategy at the Wells Fargo Investment Institute.Eleven states across the country avera...

Claire Coutinho, new UK energy secretary, has distinct shades of green

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:02:47 GMT

LONDON — Claire Coutinho is in a hurry.Less than four years after being elected MP for East Surrey, the U.K.’s new secretary of state for energy security and net zero finds herself in charge of keeping the lights on in the U.K — and delivering on the country’s legal commitment to hit net zero carbon emissions by 2050.It’s a big promotion for the 38-year-old, who has previously held two junior ministerial posts, most recently as minister for children, families and wellbeing. She is the first of the Conservatives’ 2019 election in-take to join the Cabinet. Her rapid ascent sees the U.K.’s six-month old Department for Energy Security and Net Zero switching Grant Shapps, a pugnacious media performer and one of the government’s most experienced figures, for a Tory rising star who some hope will restore the party’s green credentials, at a time when many Tory MPs are questioning the wisdom of the net zero project.A close ally of the prime minister, Coutinho work...
