Search engine news: Google rules, Yahoo struggles, Bing improves

By Molly McHugh Published January 17, 2011

ComScore recently released its search-engine rankings and to little surprise, Yahoo slipped yet again. At the beginning of October, Yahoo had pinned about 16.5 percent of the market, which slid to 16.4 the next month. Now, the report says at least measure, Yahoo claims 16 percent.

Yahoo has had its share of well-documented challenges, and recently slashing its staff as well as cutting popular properties under its domain. And now, its core feature is also struggling.

Back in October, Yahoo began using Bing to power its own search engine as well as its ad sales. In exchange, Bing receives 12 percent of Yahoo’s search revenue. Seems like a deal that has primarily benefited Bing.

To no surprise, Google continues to dominant search, and Microsoft’s Bing has made an impressive showing as of late. Check out comScore’s data below for a closer look at the recent results.

AI companies may be gobbling up old books, and I really hope they aren’t destroying them

Booksellers are seeing mysterious bulk orders for old books, and some suspect AI companies

Secondhand booksellers have noticed a curious pattern over the past few months. Large orders are coming in for old books that often share no obvious subject, author, or genre, leaving sellers wondering who wants them and why.

According to The Guardian, booksellers in the U.K. and Ireland have received bulk orders covering everything from agricultural texts to racing biographies. Some buyers reportedly use opaque aliases, send orders to the same freight warehouses, and pay full price without negotiating bulk discounts. Similar activity has also surfaced in the U.S., Australia, and Europe.

Claude is getting ambitious with watermarking, and I can smell the problems from a mile away

Claude’s text watermark could flag AI involvement even when it only helped with translation or editing

Anthropic wants to make AI-generated text easier to identify, and on paper, I have very little reason to complain. The company is experimenting with an invisible watermark that can be baked directly into text generated by Claude.

It sounds like a sensible idea. AI-generated text is everywhere, and knowing where something came from could certainly help. Moreover, Anthropic isn't simply hiding a marker somewhere inside a document. Its approach changes how Claude selects words to create a statistical pattern that can later be detected.

I switched from Windows to Mac after 25 years, and it’s the trackpad that converted me.

Well, that rhymes.

I’ve been using Windows laptops for almost 25 years. In that time, I never once seriously thought of buying a MacBook. In fact, I can honestly say I had never used one at all until I bought my MacBook Air M5 six months ago. Never borrowed one for a weekend, spent an afternoon at an Apple Store, or even played with one at a friend's house. Macs, to me, were just expensive computers for those who edited videos, made logos, or liked drinking expensive coffee.

My change came completely by accident.
