    The Webby Awards winners have been announced.

    The awards honor some of the best stuff on the internet. One thing I’m particularly happy to see is the lifetime achievement award for Shigetaka Kurita for his early work on emoji.

    Microsoft will reportedly be unbundling Teams from Office.

    According to the Financial Times:

    The US tech giant has made the concession to avoid a formal investigation, said two people with direct knowledge of the decision, following a 2020 complaint by rival Slack which claimed Microsoft’s practice of bundling the two services together was anti-competitive.

    However, the publication notes that talks about a deal are still ongoing.
