Koo is not competing head-on against X (formerly Twitter), or even the recently-launched Threads by Meta, and is instead going after regional audiences with its language-based approach, co-founder of the homegrown platform, Aprameya Radhakrishna, has said. Radhakrishna said Koo can be social-media-as-a-service, tailoring itself in compliance with the laws of the country it operates in.On Meta's Threads, he said, "Threads saw an opportunity to go into a space where Twitter (now X) was faltering, but what they did wrong was…

The $1.7BN deal for the ecommerce behemoth to pick up the robot vacuum maker, announced just under a year ago, was cleared by competition regulators in the UK last month. But EU regulators are now stepping in for their own close sweep. In a press release put out yesterday evening, the Commission said it’s concerned the transaction would allow Amazon to restrict competition in the market for robot vacuum cleaners…

When a hurricane hits land, the destruction can be visible for years or even decades. Less obvious, but also powerful, is the effect hurricanes have on the oceans.In a new study, we show through real-time measurements that hurricanes don't just churn water at the surface. They can also push heat deep into the ocean in ways that can lock it up for years and ultimately affect regions far from the storm.Heat is the key component of this story. It has long been known that hurricanes gain their energy from warm sea surface…

Complex mountain ranges are formed as Earth's tectonic plates smash (very slowly) into each other: some of the planet's crust is pushed down below the surface, as other parts are thrust up to higher elevations. But that might not be the whole story.In the mountains of Calabria in southern Italy, new field research suggests that deeper forces in Earth's mantle are responsible for driving some of the uplift we see on the surface, in addition to tectonic plate activity.The Calabria region was used as a "geologic tape…
