Advertisement The DOJ proposed banning Google from paying for search distribution deals. Google's search dominance relies on distribution, not just technology. Investors worry Google's market share could drop if distribution deals end. The online search business is not about technology. It's about distribution. The US Department of Justice made that clear Wednesday when it proposed fixes for a judge's earth-shaking ruling that Google is an illegal monopolist. Advertisement The DOJ's remedies cut to the heart of how Google distributes its search engine and how that broad reach is key to the company's dominance of this crucial and lucrative market. The government's suggestion that Google be forced to sell Chrome initially grabbed the headlines. But, on Thursday, the potential crackdown on all distribution deals caught investors' attention. The US government's lawyers said Google should be banned from offering "anything of value for any form" of search distribution. That especially includes Apple, but also covers any other partner or company, with limited exceptions, according to the DOJ's executive summary . Advertisement ISI Evercore internet analyst Mark Mahaney called this distribution crackdown "draconian" and said investors were surprised by the severity of the proposals. Google shares dropped 5% on Thursday. The reason for this concern is that the online search business is not really about the quality of the technology. The edge comes from massive distribution and the huge volume of user queries that come with such a broad reach. When people use Google to search on the web, the company monitors what results they click on. It feeds these responses back into its search engine, and the product gets constantly better. For instance, if most people click on the third result for a particular query, Google's search engine will likely adjust and rank that result higher in the future. Advertisement This self-reinforcing system is very hard to compete against. This is how the DOJ put it on Wednesday: "Search engines rely on user data to improve search quality — an outcome that drives more users to a search engine. Users attract advertisers, and advertising dollars fund general search engines, creating a perpetual feedback loop that further entrenches Google." One of the few ways to compete is to get more distribution than Google and pull in the extra queries and click-behavior data. Advertisement For many years, Google has paid to lock down most major sources of distribution. The most famous deal is with Apple. Google pays the iPhone maker about $20 billion a year to be the default search engine on Apple's mobile devices. If the search business was actually about the quality of Google's technology, why does it have to pay Apple $20 billion a year? That question is at the heart of the DOJ's case, and Google has never been able to answer it properly. Because it keeps paying Apple . If Google search technology is so great, the company shouldn't have to pay for distribution. People would just flock to its search engine all by themselves. Advertisement We could soon see a real-world test of this. If the judge in this case agrees with the DOJ, then these payments will end — not just with Apple, but with any other third-party source of online distribution for Google's search engine. This may have freaked investors out on Thursday. They know that the search business is mainly about distribution, and Google may not be able to do this now. Advertisement In a worst-case scenario, Google could lose a material slice of the US search market, according to Mahaney. "We believe Google's default search placements via contractual agreements represent 50%+ of Google's US search queries," he estimated on Thursday. If half of Google's US search queries go away, that could threaten the self-reinforcing cycle of user click data improving its results. Advertisement Suddenly, Google Search may not be so uncatchable. Google's top lawyer, Kent Walker, said the DOJ's proposals would "break" the company's search engine and "deliberately hobble people's ability to access" the service. Google gets to propose its own remedies on December 20.Pittsburgh quarterback Eli Holstein was carted off the field with 5:32 left in the first quarter with an apparent left ankle injury during Saturday's Atlantic Coast Conference game against host Louisville. The freshman was sacked at the Panthers' 49-yard line by Louisville's Ashton Gillotte, who rolled on the quarterback's ankle. Holstein was in a walking boot as he was helped to the cart. Holstein missed last week's game against Clemson after suffering a head injury in the loss to Virginia two weeks ago. Holstein was 3-for-5 passing for 51 yards and an interception before exiting. Nate Yarnell, who threw for 350 yards in the loss to Clemson, replaced Holstein. --Field Level MediaWhy are Belarus in World Cup qualifying and where will Scotland play pariah state?

Next year, people riding the MuscaBus will have some designer artwork to examine as they are waiting for their ride to arrive, after the city begins a project to decorate the bus shelters with local art. During Thursday’s Muscatine City Council meeting, the council gave its approval for Muscatine Public Works to begin adding art in the form of vinyl panels to the shelters, but kept the right to have the final say in what goes on the shelters. Council member John Jindrich and council member Nadine Brockert had some concerns. Brockert said that she didn’t want to see the art devoted to one specific person. She was also concerned about vandalism. Jindrich said he was worried there may be political undertones of someone specifically chosen to be on a shelter. “We don’t want our bus shelters to cause a controversy,” he said. “I think it’s kind of a touchy situation for me as to how you are going to choose the people to be on the shelters.” He said that he likes plain shelters but commented that it may be a good idea to rotate the themes. Public works director Brian Stineman said it is only the concept that is being proposed at this point. Council member Angie Lewis said she believes the plan is a good one but commented that the council would have to answer for whatever went on the shelters and so should have the final say. The tentative decoration of the first shelter — located in front of city hall — is based on a book recently published by the Stanley Center for Peace and Security chronicling the life of Susan Clark. Muscatine transit supervisor Amy Fortenbacher, whose idea was to begin decorating the shelters, said that she had collaborated with Muscatine Art Center director Melanie Alexander and the Muscatine Public Art Advisory Commission. Alexander said this is a good opportunity for several art committees to be showcased. The art will be brought back to the city council during a future meeting for approval. Fortenbacher said, the department would start looking for other people or organizations to partner with to share the cost of decorating the other 11 shelters. She hopes to sponsor one or two a year. The vinyl panels are expected to last about four to seven years and not fade with age. Stineman said that the concepts for art on the shelters would be vetted by the art council before being brought to council. Council member Peggy Gordon called it a “great project.” Council member Don Lampe had said he had hoped for an overall plan. He said that the art can be used to help educate the public about what the city has to offer. “There are 12 of them” he said. “This is a huge opportunity.” Stineman called the ideas for each shelter “limitless.” Duct-taped banana sells for $6.2 million at art auction A piece of conceptual art consisting of a banana duct-taped to a wall sold for $6.2 million at an auction in New York on Wednesday.

And if you were expecting next year's non-Pro iPhone 17 models to sport periscope units, that's not happening. The word comes from South Korean publication The Elec , which claims the periscope telephoto camera will remain exclusive to the Pro models in next year's lineup, even though LG Innotek - that makes iPhone camera modules - is investing in new facilities, possibly for the upgraded iPhone 17 series camera modules. The iPhone 17 series is expected to include four models - iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air (or Slim; whatever it will be called), iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Since the periscope cameras on the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max have 5x optical zoom, you can expect next year's Pro version to offer at least 5x optical zoom, but you won't get that with the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air/Slim.
