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 […]

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang shared key details for his firm's future yesterday at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology conference. Huang's comments appeared to be just the catalyst that NVIDIA's shares needed, as the stock gained 10% yesterday and opened higher today as well. During the talk, he commented that even if the broader industry does not adopt artificial intelligence, the demand for NVIDIA's products will still be sustainable simply because of the physics surrounding semiconductor fabrication. He added that NVIDIA has developed its semiconductor design capabilities so that even if its manufacturing partner TSMC were to face disruption, NVIDIA […]
As part of the Polaris Dawn mission, astronauts Jared Isaacman and SpaceX's Anna Menon completed the first commercial spacewalk in spaceflight history earlier today. Isaacman and Menon took off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida earlier this week, after which they became the first crew to reach an altitude of 1,408 kilometers since the Gemini program and the farthest humans from space since NASA's Apollo Moon missions of the 1970s. Before and since then, the astronauts were acclimatizing themselves to the harsh environment of space in order to prepare for today's spacewalk as part of what SpaceX calls a […]
Oracle's latest earnings call has served as an eye-opener of sorts for AI skeptics, with the company taking pains to assert that the demand for data centers is still "outstripping supply." What's more, some of Oracle's upcoming facilities are truly mind-boggling, employing NVIDIA's GPUs at a scale that has never been seen before. Oracle's Q1 FY2025 Earnings Call $ORCL Oracle Q1 FY25 (ending in August). • RPO +53% Y/Y to $99B. CEO Safra Catz: "That strong contract backlog will increase revenue growth throughout FY25. But the biggest news of all was signing a MultiCloud agreement with AWS." • Revenue +7% […]
It is becoming increasingly evident, at least in the more discerning financial circles, that Roaring Kitty - the progenitor of sorts for the retail-driven meme stock mania - is on a mission, one that entails recruiting his devoted army of retail investors to periodically pump the price of GameStop shares, allowing the company to then leverage its artificially inflated stock price to raise more cash. Roaring Kitty's GameStop Pump In early June, Keith Gill - who is popularly known by his Reddit alias Roaring Kitty - revealed that he owned 5 million physical GameStop shares, and retained control over an additional […]
After a notable pause, SpaceX has finally broken the silence for the launch date of its fifth Starship test flight, which appears to ensure that 2024 will see just three launches. In an update on its website, the firm shared that as per its communications with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Starship Flight 5 will receive a launch license in November at the earliest. This marks a significant delay from the multiple estimates shared by Elon Musk after Starship's fourth integrated test flight. According to SpaceX, Starship Super Heavy's interstage ring and tower catch are to blame for the delay. […]
Deutsche Bank has published a new coverage initiation report on Tesla today, with some industry players going so far as to term it "one of the most naive nonsense research reports" to grace the buy-side research sphere. Yet, despite employing exaggerated multiples to value Tesla's assorted revenue streams, the report does a fairly good job of contextualizing the sheer market opportunity that the EV giant can grab should it play its cards just right. Before discussing Deutsche Bank's new report on Tesla, do note that Cathie Wood's ARK Invest has also published a fresh blog today that expounds on the […]
SpaceX chief Elon Musk has shared his opinion on why Boeing Starliner's crewed flight test ended up being a partial success as the ship returned to Earth without its crew members earlier this month. Musk made the remarks at a podcast yesterday, where he added that SpaceX is ready to fly the Starship rocket's full stack for the fifth time in Texas as soon as it receives the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) approval. His Boeing comments are the first time Musk, known for his unabashed takes, has shared his opinion on SpaceX's older competitor after Starliner's dramatic return to Earth. […]
SpaceX has received the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) approval to communicate with its Starship rocket during the upcoming flight 5 from Texas. The FCC approved SpaceX's application over the weekend to communicate with the Super Heavy booster, and by the looks of it, SpaceX has expanded its communications capabilities with the Starship booster ahead of the test flight that will see it attempt a booster catch with the launch tower arms for the first time. SpaceX has not received the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) license approval for the Starship test flight. As it waits for the FAA, the firm is […]
The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is set to receive its first high NA EUV chip manufacturing machine from the Dutch firm ASML later this month, according to rumors swirling in Taiwan. High NA machines have been a source of controversy when it comes to TSMC, as after its management complained earlier this year that the equipment was pricey, it later decided to buy a scanner from ASML. These machines use different lenses than their EUV predecessors and enable crisper resolution of smaller circuits, which helps chip manufacturers make advanced and leading edge semiconductors. According to the details, TSMC's high […]
By now, the sector-wide retrenchment in the demand for electric vehicles has become an established fact, forcing EV players throughout the globe - barring their state-subsidized Chinese counterparts - to rollback on growth ambitions. This retrenchment, however, is now moving in Tesla's favor as the EV giant continues to exploit its first-mover advantage. Recently, Toyota slashed its 2026 EV production target by ~30 percent to just around 1 million vehicles. In the EU, Volkswagen is considering the closure of "one large vehicle plant and one component factory in Germany," as per the reporting by Reuters. Volvo has also binned its […]
It seems increasingly likely that Intel's indigenous resources will not be able to support the magnitude of capital expenditure required to advance and sustain its cutting-edge production nodes (sub-3nm), based on unconfirmed reports and the conclusion drawn by a well-regarded industry analyst. To wit, an unconfirmed report published today in a Taiwan newspaper has asserted that Intel is gearing up to offload its sub-3nm production nodes on TSMC as losses in its foundry division continue to mount, with margins further pressured by the ongoing production capacity expansion for the Intel 3 and Intel 4 processes at the company's sprawling facility […]
After a hiatus of well over two months, Keith Gill - who goes by the more famous moniker of Roaring Kitty on Reddit - is apparently done with his brief love affair with Chewy, an online retailer of pet food and related products, and is seemingly laying the groundwork for engineering another pump in GameStop shares. As a refresher, towards the end of June, Roaring Kitty posted a cartoon caricature of a dog that resembled Chewy's emblem, precipitating a fierce surge in the shares of the online retailer of pet-related items. Then, on the 01st of July, the OG meme […]
