Microsoft's lawsuit against its former executive Kai-Fu Lee and his new employer Google is a "charade" meant to frighten other Redmond workers into staying put, Google and Lee said in court papers filed this week.
Not every big name in search is going to Google.
Microsoft says it found a potentially important document in its case against its former executive Kai-Fu Lee and Google in the "recycle bin" of one of Lee's computers.
In a likely effort to remove local bias in favour of Google, Microsoft is attempting to shift Google's countersuit in the Kai-Fu Lee case from a California court to federal court.
Losing the services of Kai-Fu Lee for the rest of this year would have a profound effect on Google's recruiting efforts in China, the search engine company has argued in its legal battle with Microsoft.
The search giant is on a hiring tear. In its most recent quarter, which ended Sept. 30, Google added 800 employees, bringing its global work force to 4,989. That's more than triple the total from just two years ago.
Ten years ago, Microsoft executives worried that an Internet platform could threaten Windows. The nightmare now has a name: Google.
Machines that listen and talk like humans are becoming a reality, researchers and tech executives say.
