WASHINGTON ? Few companies have been as intimately tied to the Democratic Party in recent years as Google. So now that Donald J. Trump is president, the giant company, in Silicon Valley parlance, is having to pivot.

Alphabet Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Intel Corp., which all posted quarterly results Thursday, reinforced what?s become a truism in technology: the biggest growth is in businesses that deliver computing over the internet.

The search giant has shut down or scaled back some of its most ambitious projects. But its other wild bets are starting to make more money.

Microsoft Corp's (MSFT.O) market capitalization topped $500 billion for the first time since 2000 on Friday, after the technology giant's stock rose following another quarter of results that beat Wall Street's expectations.
