Web giant Google has finally launched its new Google Flights website based on software that it acquired through its buyout of travel software firm ITA Software.
The clock is ticking for U.S. regulators to decide whether to sue Google to prevent its announced $700 million merger with ITA Software, the maker of the largest airfare-pricing platform. Google last month invoked a legal provision that gives the Justice Department 30 days to make a decision.
The search giant is poised to make its largest deal ever -- the $6 billion acquisition of online coupon site Groupon, according to several sources.
Google's earnings came in below expectations, and its stock got pummelled. But there are many positive factors -- from Chrome and Android to its smart acquisitions -- that will help Google remain dominant in the future.
Google may buy airline travel company ITA Software Inc for $1 billion.
