AnticompetitiveBehavior

In its first government complaint against a rival, Microsoft has accused Google of antitrust behavior in Europe. The European Commission is investigating the search giant after smaller websites alleged that Google was unfairly burying them in search results.

On Friday, the Justice Department announced it had settled with six tech giants that had made anticompetitive agreements not to poach top employees from each other. That may have been an issue two years ago, but not now as a major talent war rages in Silicon Valley.

The FTC filed a major lawsuit against Intel on Wednesday, dumping a massive lump of coal in the giant chipmaker's. The suit accuses the company of trying to "stifle competition and strengthen its monopoly," and comes just one month after Intel's $1.25 billion settlement with AMD, its main rival.
