Alphabet reports only minimally less advertising revenue and only a few percent more total revenue for the first quarter. The stock exchange expected worse values and reacted cautiously positive to the results of the Google group. Microsoft also presented its business figures and also exceeded expectations. The future of the software group belongs to the AI business, but the cloud business is currently driving Microsoft further. The state Trojan, on the other hand, was stopped because the government factions are amending the federal police law without a license for telecommunications surveillance at the source. In addition, receipts are intended to make racial profiling more difficult – a brief overview of the most important messages.
The Google Group Alphabet can the decline in advertising revenue almost stop. In the first quarter of 2023, Google earned $54.5 billion from advertising. That’s just $113 million, or 2 per thousand, less than in the first quarter of 2022. Analysts had expected more significant advertising declines. Total group sales even increased by 2.6 percent to $69.8 billion. In addition, the group division Google Cloud first operating profit. CEO Sundar Pichai is satisfied and explains that the search is going well and that there is momentum in the cloud business: Alphabet maintains advertising sales, increases group sales.
Things are going a little better at Microsoftbecause the software group has in the first three months of this year more revenue generated than generally expected. Because of further increasing cloud business sales have continued to grow, but Windows is selling worse due to the slowing PC market. Both Microsoft has to win cutbacks make. Microsoft promises a lot from models artificial intelligence, which should drive future sales. The stock exchange had expected less sales, so investors let the share price rise significantly: Microsoft is exceeding expectations, AI should drive sales in the future.
Die Federal Police should no state trojan allowed to use. The factions of the governing coalition made up of SPD, Greens and FDP agreed after long arguments. In contrast to the previous black-red coalition, the police should no government malware directly on the end device of a suspect to copy data before encryption or after decryption (telecom surveillance at the source).

A robotic arm in form of ostrich neck have been developed by researchers in Japan. The artificial arm can be twist hardto get into hard-to-reach places. The manipulator, called RobOstrich, relies on moving neighboring joints one after the other and thus a rolling motion pattern to create. Birds’ necks are highly flexible so they can groom themselves better or look in different directions in flight. The Ostrich has a particularly robust and skillful neck. The Japanese scientists therefore used it as a model for their robotic arm for RobOstrich: ostrich-like robotic arm is highly flexible.
