Dragon has been used to license tech like Apple’s famous Siri but it’s unclear how much Siri actually relies on Dragon. This acquisition will be Microsoft’s second-largest after it bought LinkedIn in 2016 for $26 billion.

It’s all the tech news that’s popular right now. Welcome to Hashtag Trending! It’s Friday, January 8, and I’m your host Alex Coop. IT professionals quickly chimed in on Twitter as images of rioters filled TV screens yesterday, including one sitting behind the desk of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “Every computer, every piece of data in the Capitol should now be considered compromised.

This ruling opens a lot of conversation to other tech companies regarding one-sided terms of service on users without providing clear notice that they were doing so. During the case the appeal was filed based ....
