Aja sells BIDU 136.68: I suspect that making Baidu the default home page and search engine for China users of Windows 10/Edge browser likely entailed a revenue sharing agreement that Microsoft found favorable.

Only a savvy computer user will take time to turn off all the data-gathering channels of Microsoft. Like I previously mentioned in my Microsoft article, Windows 10 has several invasive personal data mining and activities settings turned on by default.

Google's continuing absence in China is something that Microsoft wants to exploit immediately by piggybacking on the success of Baidu.

But the O2O market could be the next big thing for the company, and Baidu's investment in Uber underscores their commitment to the space.

Sydney:
This is a potentially huge investment in O2O transactions for the Chinese search company. TechCrunch values Uber China at over $8 billion, and I think that it can eventually grow larger than Uber in the United States.

Payment is handled automatically through the app.

Users order a car to their location using a smartphone and a driver picks them up in a few minutes and takes them to their destination.
