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.
In its fight with Microsoft over an executive's defection, Google has enlisted attorneys from a small but high-powered law firm.
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.
Kai-Fu Lee, whose hiring by Google prompted a lawsuit by former employer Microsoft, has denied the software giant's claims about his role in its business.
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.
