Microsoft told the U.S. Department of Justice and the European Commission how Google’s business practices may be harming publishers, advertisers and competition in search and online advertising. Dave Heiner, vice president and deputy general counsel at Microsoft, claimed Google has created a network effect in search akin to Microsoft’s own PC operating system dynasty, making it hard for Bing to gain search volume even with Yahoo’s help. Heiner added that companies large and small have secretly sought Microsoft’s advice about how to deal with Google’s aggressive business stances, secrecy or even anti-competitive practices.

A huge earthquake hits Chile but it has fared far better than poverty-stricken Haiti
JUST six weeks after an earthquake killed over 200,000 people in Haiti, another huge tremor has shaken Latin America. Early in the morning on Saturday February 27th, a massive 8.8-magnitude quake—the fifth-largest recorded since 1900—rocked the Pacific coast of central Chile. Lasting for nearly 90 seconds, it knocked out electricity, water, and telephone services in a wide stretch of the country, and damaged the Santiago airport terminal, some 325 kilometres from the epicentre. The resulting tsunami prompted evacuations as far away as Japan, although the waves inflicted little damage outside Chile and the warnings were later cancelled.
At least 76 aftershocks followed. Michelle Bachelet, the country’s president, said it would take three days to produce the first reliable evaluations of the quake’s impact, but she estimated that 1.5m homes were damaged and 2m people were affected by the disaster. Government officials have already confirmed over 700 deaths. …

An election in deeply divided Iraq
• IRAQIS finally go to the polls on Sunday March 7th to vote in their long-delayed national elections. But with many candidates barred from standing because of former ties to Saddam Hussein’s Baath party, sectarian rivalries have once more come to the fore. It is far from certain that any single group will win enough votes to form a government, prompting fears that relations between Sunnis and Shias will deteriorate even further and threaten the country’s fragile recovery.
• A VOTE by the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Thursday March 4th threatens to sour relations between America and Turkey. The congressional committee will consider whether to label the mass slaughter of Ottoman Armenians by Turkish forces in 1915 as a genocide. Previous similar resolutions never made it to a vote in the House of Representatives for fear of damaging relations with an important ally in the Middle East. But a House vote is more likely this time after Barack Obama’s election pledge to recognise the episode as genocide. …
