Microsoft

Microsoft. After nearly a decade of Acquired episodes, we are finally ready to tackle the most valuable company ever created. The company that put a computer on every desk and in every home.

The company that so thoroughly and completely dominated every conceivable competitor that the United States government intervened and kneecapped it… yet it’s STILL the most valuable company in the world today. This episode tells the story of Microsoft i...

787 Allegations: Boeing Over A Barrel

Boeing acknowledges that production-quality issues meant the first 1,000 or so 787s delivered did not meet its specifications.

Aviation Week Network's Jens Flottau, Sean Broderick and Graham Warwick break it all down.

Why Bruce Lehrmann lost

Bruce Lehrmann's defamation case is now over, with a judge on the Federal Court finding that, on the balance of probabilities, Lehrmann did rape Brittany Higgins at Parliament House in 2019. It means Lehrmann has failed against Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson, after a trial that dragged on for months. And over the weekend, Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel, with the strikes marking the first time Iran has targeted Israel directly from its own soil. So what does this mean fo...

The Rot Economy ft Robert Evans - Better Offline

Ever wonder why Google results are getting worse, or why you aren't seeing your friends on Instagram?

The real estate industry on trial

In 2019, Mike Ketchmark got a call. Mike is a lawyer in Kansas City, Missouri, and his friend, Brandon Boulware, another lawyer, was calling about a case he wanted Mike to get involved with. Mike was an unusual choice - he's a personal injury lawyer, and this was going to be an antitrust case. But Brandon knew Mike was great in front of a jury. And that he'd won huge settlements for his clients in the past. So the lawyer friend drops by Mike's office, and pitches him the case. Rhonda and Scott...

This is what nangs really do to your brain

For the first time since the current Israel-Gaza conflict began in October, the UN Security Council has called for a ceasefire in Gaza. And the government's watered down some fuel efficiency standards in its proposed climate laws for cars. Will it make it easier for young people to buy an EV? Plus, the WA government has announced what it reckons are the "toughest" rules on selling nitrous oxide canisters - or nangs - in Australia. So will it actually stop people ripping nangs?
