Fabled startup investor and accelerator Y Combinator has some choice words for Google in an amicus brief it just submitted in the U.S.’s monopoly case against the search giant.
In the brief, YC charged that Google is a “monopolist” that has “stunted” the U.S.
startup ecosystem by making VC firms like itself hesitate to fund web search and AI startups in what it calls a “kill zone” around Google.
“Google has chilled independent firms like YC from funding and accelerating innovative startups that could otherwise have challenged Google’s dominance,” YC wrote in the filing.
“The result is a landscape that has been artificially stunted and stagnant.”
YC’s brief says it’s currently seeking to fund startups developing question-based and agentic AI tools that could transform how people interact with information on the internet.
But YC says there’s a “clear risk” that Google will use its monopoly power to slow down the future of those markets. 
“Google has effectively frozen the web search and text advertising markets for over a decade,” YC wrote.
The brief, filed May 9, was spotted on X by VC Sheel Mohnot, the general partner of Better Tomorrow Ventures and a prolific social media poster.
But YC isn’t calling for an immediate breakup of Google, as its CEO Garry Tan made clear in a reply to Mohnot.

Rather, YC is arguing Google should curb practices it considers anti-competitive, like paying Apple billions of dollars to make Google the iPhone’s default search engine.
It also wants Google to do things it argues would help startups, like opening up Google’s search index so others can train LLMs on it.
For perspective, Google’s search algorithms have been its highly prized secret since its inception.
For YC to ask the government to force Google to open it up to competitive LLMs is almost like demanding the government make Microsoft Windows open source, or forcing Amazon to freely deliver packages for competitors.
If Google doesn’t implement such changes within a five year timeframe, then YC advocates for the government to force Google to divest or spin out parts of itself.
YC CEO Tan characterized this idea in an X post as a “spinoff hammer” threat. He also posted that “we love Google” but wants “little tech” to succeed, too, in a separate X thread.
To recap, last year Google lost a massive antitrust case over its dominance of the search market.
While Google appeals the decision, the U.S.
government is mulling potential punishments (‘remedies’) that Google might be required to implement, such as spinning off Chrome.
Those remedies are expected to be delivered by August 2025.
YC’s stance may come as a surprise to those who have followed its latest partnerships with Google: most notably, Google Cloud gave YC startups access to a dedicated cluster of Nvidia GPUs last year.
Google co-founder Larry Page also made a rare in-person appearance to speak at a YC event in December. 
Google has also acquired at least two YC-backed startups: Flutter in 2014, and Fridge in 2011.
It also invested in YC startup Infisical through its Gradient fund in 2023. 
However, YC is also closely tied to OpenAI, which is now directly competing against Google on search.
OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman used to run YC, while OpenAI was the first group affiliated with YC Research. 
That’s something Mohnot pointed to on X, writing that the biggest beneficiary of YC’s proposed remedies, by far, would be OpenAI, rather than YC’s famously early stage startups, while commenting that the amicus brief “paints Google as more powerful than it is.”
TechCrunch asked YC how it would respond to this critique, and whether it has any specific examples of areas that it probably would have funded had it not been for Google.
So far, YC hasn’t responded to our comment request. 
Google didn’t respond to a request for comment about YC’s amicus brief, either.
However, it argued in a blog post last year that the DOJ’s proposals are “radical and sweeping” and would hurt consumers, business, and developers.

Airbnb is launching an all-new version of its iOS and Android app that’s designed for more than just booking great places to stay.
The new app lets you enhance each trip with opportunities to make memories and enjoy unique experiences around your destination.
That’s because Airbnb’s major app redesign supports a new initiative called Airbnb Services, a modern take on hotel amenities for the Airbnb era.

Airbnb Services, at your service
With Airbnb Services, the company is expanding from being primarily known for connecting travelers with a place to call home for a few nights.
Going forward, Airbnb aims to make booking things to do as much a part of the product as finding places to stay.
No need to spend time researching local experts, sorting through recommendations, or juggling reservations in different apps.
Airbnb Services offers a trusted vetting process with the same easy-to-use booking system you’re already using.
Airbnb Services isn’t just an add-on to the stay booking experience either.
The new app treats Airbnb Services with the same attention and care that users expect when booking a place to stay.
The idea is simple: hotels offer amenities like fine dining and fitness centers, and Airbnb changed how people book stays.
Now, Airbnb wants to change how people discover local experts who provide great services in photography, cooking, wellness, and more.
Airbnb Services is launching today with 10 categories across 260 cities to start:
Chefs – Fully customizable in-home meals from professional chefs.
Photography – Personalized photo sessions from experienced photographers.
Massage – Restorative massages including Swedish, deep tissue, and reflexology from certified therapists.
Spa treatments – Facials, microdermabrasion, body scrubs, and other treatments provided by licensed estheticians.
Personal training – Yoga, strength training, HIIT, and more, with personal trainers, including renowned fitness professionals and world champion athletes.
Hair – Professional haircuts, blowouts, and more from experienced stylists.
Makeup – Makeup for every day or special occasions from professional makeup artists.
Nails – Manicures and pedicures from experienced nail specialists.
Prepared meals – Ready-to-eat meals prepared by professional chefs.
Catering – Full-service catering with custom menus, decor, and equipment, plus setup and cleanup.
Like Airbnb stay listings, Airbnb Services are meant to be for everyone.
For that reason, the company says that prices on many offerings start below $50.
Expect the service to go live in more cities regularly over time.

Airbnb Experiences and Originals, reimagined and unique
Alongside Services, Airbnb is putting more weight behind Experiences, its curated lineup of activities hosted by locals, as part of its effort to provide great solutions for making the most of each trip.
The company says each Experience is vetted for quality, with a focus on expertise, authenticity, and strong guest feedback.
Hosts are chosen based on their connection to the location and their ability to deliver something memorable, not just a generic tour.
A new addition called Airbnb Originals takes things up a notch.
These are exclusive experiences created just for Airbnb, often hosted by public figures and celebrities.
You can make pastries with chef Raphaelle Elbaz at the cult-favorite French Bastards bakery in Paris or play beach volleyball with Olympian Carol Solberg on Rio’s Leblon Beach.
Originals also include over-the-top moments with big names like Megan Thee Stallion, who invites guests to become their anime alter-ego in her Otaku Hottie Quest.
You can also join Sabrina Carpenter on the Short n’ Sweet set for a day of glam, dancing, and espresso, or hang out with Patrick Mahomes to learn how to throw the perfect spiral and eat Kansas City barbecue.
And you don’t have to be traveling to take part in Airbnb Experiences.
Airbnb wants Experiences to be something you actually want to book in your own city too.
9to5Mac’s Take
Pairing Airbnb stays with services feels so natural it’s surprising it didn’t exist already.
But the reason Airbnb Services works now is because it is built on years of product iteration and a global network of partners who make it possible.

Airbnb Services, along with Experiences and Originals, turns the app into something like a world menu—not just places to stay, but things to do and memories to make along the way.
The redesigned app is full of rich iconography, fluid animations, and thoughtful choice that sets the tone before the trip even begins.
It adapts to what you’re doing, whether you’re planning, traveling, or reminiscing afterward in a way that should feel rewarding to use.
Airbnb is making Experiences more social too.
Later this year, you’ll be able to see who else is attending before you book, message the group or individual guests during the experience, and stay connected afterward.
The idea is to make it easier to join with friends or meet new people along the way and stay connected.
Seeing technology get out of the way and embrace human connection in a way that people want and need is so refreshing to see.

For a company that’s nearly 20 years old and such a part of everyday life, Airbnb has built an app experience that’s both new and actually gives you a reason to plan your next trip.
Pulling that off is neither easy nor guaranteed, yet Airbnb is doing both with a sense of fun and intention that’s delightful to see.

Macworld
May 15 is Global Accessibility Awareness Day, and Apple always uses the occasion to highlight some of the new accessibility features coming to iPhones and Macs.
This year, Apple’s got another announcement to share: three new Sound Therapy playlists on Apple Music available now.
The South Therapy experience consists of three playlists—Focus, Relax, and Sleep—that play music from UMG artists including Imagine Dragons, Katy Perry, Kacey Musgraves, and others.
The songs are special versions, often extended, instrumental, or rearranged to be more soothing.
Those songs are then blended seamlessly with specific sound waves that are said to help you get into a particular mental state.
Gamma waves and white noise are supposed to help with focus, theta waves are to help you relax, and delta waves and pink noise are said to help you sleep.

Apple has partnered with Universal Music Group and its music therapy science project, the Sollos initiative, on the feature.
Apple’s press release says the feature is “Backed by scientific research and powered by UMG’s proprietary audio technologies,” but the science here is not by any means conclusive.
Apple uses words like “could” and “might” in its press release whenever making a claim of effect, and includes a footnote that the feature is designed to “support a person’s overall wellbeing” rather than treat any specific medical condition.
Similar claims have been made about similar therapies, such as “binaural beats,” for years, but research into the effects is often criticized for its lack of rigor or for making grandiose claims not supported by the evidence.
Critics often point out that such therapies, when properly studied, show results no better than a placebo, or no better than using any other regular sounds to block out bothersome background noise.
Still, there’s no harm in it, and it’s a new feature included with your existing Apple Music subscription.
Regardless of whether there are special sound waves helping you achieve the focus or sleep you desire, you can give the playlists a listen the next time you can’t focus, relax, or sleep, and see if they work for you.

An anonymous reader shares a report: During the Android Show leading up to Google I/O, Google on Tuesday offered a brief update on the adoption of the RCS (Rich Communication Services) protocol, an upgrade to SMS that offers high-resolution photos and videos, typing indicators, read receipts, improved group chat, and more.
The company shared that the messaging standard now supports over a billion messages per day in the U.S.

This metric is based on an average of the last 28 days, Google noted.
The stat is notable because Google fought for years to get Apple to adopt support for RCS on iOS, allowing for better communication between Android and Apple devices.
Previously, iPhone users who received texts from friends on Android had to deal with blurry videos and images, and couldn't as easily manage group chats when their green-bubbled friends joined.
Unlike with iMessage, group chats with Android users couldn't be renamed, nor could people be added or removed, and you couldn't exit when you wanted.
Emoji reactions also didn't work properly, leading to annoying texts to let you know how an Android user reacted, instead of just displaying their emoji reaction directly.

If you want to play Android or iOS games with physical controls, the easiest and most portable way to do so is with a clamp-on phone controller.
You could also buy a regular Bluetooth gamepad, though it won't stay attached to your handset unless you add a clunky clip.
Or you could get both with the Backbone Pro, a $169.99 snap-on phone controller that's almost as compact as the Backbone One and has Bluetooth.
The Backbone Pro performs well in both roles and feels better in the hand than its predecessor.
However, it isn't quite as comfortable as the full-size Razer Kishi Ultra ($149.99), and it locks several useful companion app features behind a $39.99 yearly subscription.
Still, it's a good compromise if you want a single gamepad you can easily use with your phone or PC.Design and Controls: Not Quite a Full-Size GamepadThe Backbone Pro is slightly chunkier than the Backbone One at 4.1 by 7 by 1.4 inches (HWD).
It's still easy to slip it into a pocket, despite the plumper, rounded grips that are much more comfortable to hold.
Weighing 7.02 ounces without its rubber inserts installed (more on those in a bit), the Backbone Pro feels a little hollow since it doesn't have haptic motors.
Still, it doesn't feel remotely flimsy.
The Backbone Pro is a well-built, comfortable gamepad. (Credit: Will Greenwald)The controls consist of a standard Xbox-style gamepad layout with offset dual analog sticks on either grip.
There is also a plus-shaped direction pad below the left stick, A/B/X/Y face buttons above the right stick, and a pair of bumpers and analog trigger sets on the top.
Small system buttons for Start/Select, Capture, and Backbone/Guide sit below the direction pad and right analog stick.
The Backbone button lights up and doubles as a status indicator.The Backbone Pro's analog sticks are larger than the ones on the Backbone One and the same size as the sticks on an Xbox controller.
They don't use Hall effect sensors like the magnetic triggers.
Due to the controller's compact design, the triggers' pull distances are much shorter than the triggers on full-size gamepads.
Likewise, the face buttons are noticeably smaller than full-size gamepad buttons, though slightly larger than Nintendo Switch Joy-Con face buttons.
They're satisfyingly clicky, though.Like the Backbone One, the Backbone Pro has a USB-C port in the right grip and a headphone jack in the left grip.
They serve the same power and audio pass-through functions.
A new pairing button puts the controller into Bluetooth pairing mode.
Since the Backbone Pro functions as a standalone wireless controller, the USB-C port also charges its internal battery, not just the phone it's attached to.(Credit: Will Greenwald)The Backbone Pro works with almost any phone with a USB-C port.
That covers most Android phones and iPhone 15 (and later models).
The older Backbone One has an iPhone-friendly Lightning version if you have an iPhone 14 or earlier handset.
The Backbone Pro holds phones between approximately 3.4 and 7 inches long, so it can snap onto phablets like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
If you own an iPad mini or a small Android tablet, consider the larger Razer Kishi Ultra.
Two pairs of included rubber adapters (one narrow, one wide) let you get a snug fit.
They aren't designed for specific phone models, but they should accommodate your handset.
To use the Backbone Pro with your phone, just pull it open and slip the phone between the jaws with the USB-C plug lined up with the phone's port.
Your phone should automatically detect that it's connected to a Backbone controller and prompt you to download the Backbone app for configuration.
At that point, the Backbone Pro functions as a controller for any game that supports it.Recommended by Our EditorsWirelessly connecting the Backbone Pro to a compatible device is easy.
You press the pairing button and sync using a phone's standard process.
It works with anything that supports a generic XInput Bluetooth gamepad, including PCs, phones, tablets, and many media streamers and TVs with games or game streaming apps.
(Credit: Will Greenwald)If you wirelessly use the Backbone Pro with your phone, you can't access the Backbone app's features.
As mentioned, the Backbone Pro lacks haptic motors, so the only rumble you'll experience will potentially come from your handset.
According to Backbone, the Pro can function as a Bluetooth controller for up to 40 hours between charges.Software: Major Features Need a SubscriptionEven though the Pro's basic controls work without issue, you'll want to launch the Backbone app to update the firmware and add features.
For example, the app lets you remap the controller inputs and take screenshots with the Capture button.
Once it's all set up, the Backbone app opens whenever you insert your phone.
You can also launch it by pressing the orange Backbone button.(Credit: Backbone/PCMag)Out of the box, those functions are where the Backbone app starts and ends, but you can expand the feature set with a Backbone+ membership ($39.99 per year).
Backbone+ lets the app launch installed and streaming games, capture video at up to 1080p60 with cloud storage and Twitch streaming support, and use voice chat with other Backbone+ subscribers.
iPhone users also get beta access to an in-app emulator for retro games.Most of Backbone+'s features should be available by default with the Backbone Pro and are unnecessarily gated behind a subscription.
The emulator and voice chat are fun bonuses, but they are already well-supported on mobile devices with RetroArch and Discord, respectively.
It just doesn't feel necessary. (Credit: Backbone/PCMag)Playing Games With the Backbone ProI had no problem controlling PC games with the Backbone Pro thanks to Steam's gamepad support.
It also worked well with the Xbox app, albeit not quite as consistently.
I had several hiccups with Claire Obscur: Expedition 33; it occasionally wouldn't respond to controller inputs, though restarting it fixed the problem.
It seemed like an issue with the game rather than the Backbone Pro, because the controller worked reliably under all other circumstances.The full-size analog sticks were comfortable to use in testing, and they tracked movement consistently.
Likewise, the buttons, bumpers, and triggers had just the right amount of resistance.
Although the gamepad's face buttons are a bit small, I didn't accidentally press the wrong ones while playing.
Moving and aiming with the analog sticks were similarly accurate, which resulted in exciting Monster Hunter Wilds and Palworld sessions.
That said, the analog triggers' shallow pull required a bit more finesse than usual to accelerate and brake precisely in Forza Horizon 5.

It feels like a minor problem, I'll admit it.
But you know when you check into a hotel and have to spend the next fifteen minutes connecting all your Apple devices to the network? Starting from your iPhone, then moving to your iPad, and then your Mac? Well, it looks like Apple understands your pain.
According to a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, iOS 19 will include a new feature that will automatically connect multiple devices to the same public Wi-Fi network after you log in with just one of them.That's convenient for a couple of reasons.
Beyond just keeping you from having to cycle through all your devices, it can also reduce the amount of paperwork you have to fill out.
When signing into wifi at a location with public access, like a gym, café, hotel, or the airport, you'll often be asked to fill out a web form.
These will usually ask for some information, but can also include captchas, or even unique codes that limit how much data you can access on a per-device basis.This new system means you'll only have to fill out the form once.
Once you get through a web form, the wifi login and details will sync automatically between all your connected Apple devices, just like they do right now for a regular wifi network.
Of course, this hasn't been 100% confirmed yet, and there are still a few questions to answer.
How will this work for wifi networks that limit that amount of devices you can connect to them, for instance? Still, Gurman has a credible track record of leaking software and hardware changes currently on Apple's roadmap, so we'll likely see more on this in due time.
iOS 19 is expected to be announced at WWDC in June, and according to the rumors, will come with a pretty big redesign for iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

A US court just put ownership of CRISPR back in play
The CRISPR patents are back in play.
Yesterday, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said scientists Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier will get another chance to show they ought to own the key patents on what many consider the defining biotechnology invention of the 21st century.
The pair shared a 2020 Nobel Prize for developing the gene-editing system, which is already being used to treat various disorders.But when US patent rights were granted in 2014 to Feng Zhang of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, the decision set off a bitter dispute in which hundreds of millions of dollars—as well as scientific bragging rights—are at stake.

Police tech can sidestep facial recognition bans now
—James O’Donnell
Six months ago I attended the largest gathering of chiefs of police in the US to see how they’re using AI.
I found some big developments, like officers getting AI to write their reports.
Now, I’ve published a new story that shows just how far AI for police has developed since then.It’s about a new method police are using to track people: an AI tool that uses attributes like body size, gender, hair color and style, clothing, and accessories instead of faces.
It offers a way around laws curbing the use of facial recognition, which are on the rise.
Here’s what this tells us about the development of police tech and what rules, if any, these departments are subject to in the age of AI.

Meet the radio-obsessed civilian shaping Ukraine’s drone defenseDrones have come to define the brutal conflict in Ukraine that has now dragged on for more than three years.
And most rely on radio communications—a technology that Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov has obsessed over since childhood.While Flash is now a civilian, the former officer has still taken it upon himself to inform his country’s defense in all matters related to radio.
Once a month, he studies the skies for Russian radio transmissions and tries to learn about the problems facing troops in the fields and in the trenches.In this race for survival—as each side constantly tries to best the other, only to start all over again when the other inevitably catches up—Ukrainian soldiers need to develop creative solutions, and fast.
As Ukraine’s wartime radio guru, Flash may just be one of their best hopes for doing that.
