Google announced that it was buying Massachusetts-based ITA in order to make it easier for users of its search functions to find quick information about convenient flights and airfares, describing the move as "pro-competitive" and "pro-consumer".

Talkshow-Legende Larry King hört auf
Er und seine Sendung gelten als Institutionen im Fernsehgeschäft, aber jetzt soll bald Schluss damit sein: CNN-Legende Larry King kündigte nun an, seine Talkshow nach mehr als 25 Jahren im Herbst einzustellen. Er wolle endlich mehr Zeit mit Frau und Kindern verbringen, begründete der 76-Jährige die Entscheidung. Hinter der Hand wird über andere Gründe gemunkelt.
