Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced a multi-state lawsuit against Google. The lawsuit alleges the search giant of “anti-competitive conduct” in the online advertising industry. Paxton claims that Google uses its “monopolistic power” to control the pricing of online advertisements, fix the market in its favor, and eliminate competition.
Based in California, Google called Paxton’s claims “meritless” and said the price of online advertising has fallen over the last decade. An official recently rejected even the assertion that Google is dominant.

On this day in 1903, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright made the first successful flight in the history of a self-propelled aircraft. Orville piloted the gasoline-powered propeller-driven biplane. The historic flight lasted twelve seconds and covered 120 feet
The Wright brothers grew up in Dayton, Ohio, and became interested in aviation after learning of the glider flights of the German engineer Otto Lilienthal. Unlike their older brothers, they did not attend college. However, they possessed an extraordinary technical ability and a sophisticated approach to solving problems in mechanical designs.
The Wright brothers further developed their airplanes and secured patents and contracts for their flying machines. In 1909, the U.S. Army’s Signal Corps purchased a specially constructed plane.
