Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Bitcoin, inarguably the world's preeminent cryptocurrency, created a new all-time high as Trump emerged as a shoo-in at the conclusion of the 2024 US presidential elections, and has refused to look back ever since. In fact, the momentum around the cryptocurrency has been so strong that it managed to add ~$15,000 to its price just over the past week! With Bitcoin currently hovering at the $86,000 price level, seasoned traders and analysts alike are converging on a conviction call that the world's largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization will hit the psychologically important $100,000 price level by the end of the […]
According to a report from the Financial Times, Amazon is developing custom artificial intelligence chips to reduce its dependence on NVIDIA. The firm has already developed a variety of in-house processors to run data center workloads, and the latest push is part of its investment in a chip design startup in 2015. Amazon is expected to shed more light on its custom AI processors next month as part of announcements covering the firm's Trainium chip lineup. These chips have been developed by Amazon's Annapurna Labs, and they are being used by Microsoft-backed OpenAI's rival Anthropic. Anthropic is Amazon's primary AI […]
It is the age-old story of an underdog turning into the pack alpha. Intel, beset by a growing number of headwinds, is now increasingly ceding its market share to the one-time runt of the microchip world, AMD, as per the data leveraged by Bank of America (BofA) in a new investment note. $AMD / $ARM GAINING PC / CPU SHARE OVER INTEL $INTC, SAYS BANK OF AMERICA: "We review Q3 CPU trends based on Mercury Research data. Overall, Q3 data suggest a story of two tales, with AMD showcasing clear share gains over INTC. For PCs, units increased just +1% […]
After last week's decisive presidential election in the US, and the critical role played by Elon Musk in bringing about a favorable outcome for Trump, Wall Street analysts continue to mull the short- and medium-term implications for Tesla shares in a Trump-led administration. For instance, last week, BofA analysts admitted in a dedicated investment note that Tesla might see potential upside going forward vis-à-vis "the federal regulation of autonomous vehicles and FSD, which aligns with Elon Musk’s push for a national standard for self-driving," adding: "The Trump administration’s approach could create a more favorable regulatory landscape, potentially accelerating Tesla’s Robotaxi […]
Super Micro Computer (SMCI), a retailer of high-performance servers and liquid-cooled AI racks, is rapidly approaching the proverbial twilight zone as its legal woes mount and major customers start bailing on existing orders. We reported in early November that NVIDIA had allegedly begun redirecting its orders that were originally placed with Super Micro Computer to other, more stable suppliers. If confirmed, this would constitute a seminal moment as SMCI was, until recently, NVIDIA's third-largest customer. Now, it seems that Super Micro Computer's major clients are also abandoning it, especially as it remains mired in allegations of financial impropriety, a preliminary […]
SpaceX's Starbase general manager, Kathy Leuders, has shared details about when her firm will catch the Starship second-stage rocket with the tower catch arms. SpaceX made history in October after it caught the Super Heavy booster for the first time with the launch tower. The achievement was remarkable, particularly since the booster catch was successful on its first attempt - an outcome many industry watchers had been skeptical of. The tower catch is key to Starship's goal of rapid re-usability, and the next step in the process is to catch the upper-stage rocket with the tower arms. Speaking at an […]
Apple's $1.5 billion deal with Globalstar, through which the firm acquired a 20% stake in the company and provided it with the funds to build out a mobile satellite service (MSS) network, will use SpaceX's rockets to launch the satellites. Apple first announced its MSS investment in November 2022 and made headlines last month after a Globalstar SEC filing revealed a $1.5 billion investment that gave Apple 20% control over a subsidiary. Subsequent Globalstar filings with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the SEC shed more light on the deal, revealing that Globalstar will use part of the proceeds from […]
Jeff Bezos' rocket company, Blue Origin, is silently progressing towards the first hot fire test of its New Glenn rocket. Powered by in-house engines, New Glenn is also designed to land on a ship like SpaceX's Falcon 9. It is also more powerful than SpaceX's workhorse and operational rocket, and footage from media in Florida shows that Blue Origin's barge came back to port at Cape Canaveral late last night after offshore testing. The return marks another step in the rocket's test campaign, with a major hot fire of its engines expected to occur soon. Blue Origin Picks Up The […]
NASA's SpaceX Crew-8 astronauts, who returned to Earth late last month after spending more than two hundred days in space, opened up about their experiences in space and after landing during a press conference earlier today. The Crew-8 mission was one of the more unique SpaceX missions since not only did it face multiple delays for its return, but once the crew landed, NASA flew them to a hospital in Florida to keep one NASA astronaut under observation for unforeseen medical issues. While the crew did not share any details about this member or their medical problems, other information they […]
In a development that has provided a fresh upward jolt to the shares of Trump Media and Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT), the parent entity of Truth Social platform, the US president-elect has now unambiguously denied a rumor that pertained to his gigantic stake in the newly formed company. To wit, in a dedicated Truth Social post, Trump has termed all rumors regarding his supposed intention to reduce his stake in Trump Media and Technology Group "fake, untrue, and probably Illegal." There are fake, untrue, and probably illegal rumors and/or statements made by, perhaps, market manipulators or short sellers, that I […]
Akin to high-stakes poker, Elon Musk wagered the very future of Tesla and the rest of his expansive business empire by going all-in on Trump. Now, as his fortunes rise along with those of the president-elect, Wall Street expects Tesla to benefit in one way or another. To wit, the Bank of America (BofA) has penned an interesting investment note today, arguing that Tesla stands to gain at the margins from a Trump victory and Elon Musk's pivotal role in securing it. While BofA analysts concede that Tesla’s position should remain largely neutral to most of Trump's envisioned policy changes, […]
Super Micro Computer (SMCI), a retailer of high-performance servers and liquid-cooled AI racks, has chosen to release its latest quarterly earnings at a time when investors have been forced to view every financial update from the company with a hefty dose of skepticism that stems not only from Hindenburg Research's hard-hitting report back in August but also from the series of events in its aftermath, including SMCI's withholding of its annual report, the launch of a preliminary DOJ investigation into the company's purported accounting malpractices, the exodus of its second auditor in around 18 months, and an imminent de-listing from […]
