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 […]

Boeing's Starliner spacecraft successfully splashed down in New Mexico just after midnight earlier today after undocking from the International Space Station (ISS) in the evening yesterday. The landing saw Starliner successfully fire its thrusters to adjust itself for orbital reentry, and the ship's landing marks the completion of the ship's crewed flight to the ISS. However, Boeing's crewed spacecraft failed to carry its crew back to Earth after NASA decided in August to use SpaceX's Crew Dragon for crew return as agency experts were unable to reach a consensus for returning astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams on Starliner in […]
Boeing's Starliner spacecraft successfully undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) at 6:04 p.m. Eastern Time earlier today after spending months in space. Starliner, which launched in June, was initially slated to return to Earth after a couple of weeks. Still, its return was delayed as the ship's thrusters malfunctioned during its ISS docking. This led to a months long investigation from NASA and Boeing, with things coming to a head last month when the agency decided that a lack of consensus among subject matter experts violated its rules for astronaut safety during missions. After its undocking, Starliner will close […]
SpaceX president and chief operations officer Gwynne Shotwell has asked Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexander Moraes to let her firm's Starlink internet service function normally in Brazil. Her comments come in the aftermath of an escalating feud between SpaceX CEO and X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk, who has gone head to head with Moraes over the latter's decision to block Musk's social media platform in the country. Starlink was caught in the middle after it refused court orders to block access to X, a move that threatened the service's presence in Brazil. Shotwell's comments follow Starlink's announcement that it […]
After a brief pause as it worked with the FAA due to a rare Falcon 9 booster landing anomaly, SpaceX has picked up the pace with its workhorse rocket's missions. The firm launched its latest set of Starlink satellites from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida earlier today after standing down from launch yesterday due to weather constraints. The launch marked SpaceX's 86th mission for the year, and it came roughly twelve hours before a mission for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). SpaceX Successfully Lands Falcon 9 Booster After Completing Its 86th Launch In 2024 Today's launch was […]
Tesla shares are rocketing higher today in the aftermath of an ambitious FSD rollout plan in China and the EU in the first quarter of 2025. Yet, Tesla's exponentially growing FSD-related prowess is about to face a significant regulatory inertia, which will likely limit the upside for the EV giant. Due to popular demand, Tesla AI team release roadmap: September 2024- v12.5.2 with ~3x improved miles between necessary interventions- v12.5.2 on AI3 computer (unified models for AI3 and AI4)- Actually Smart Summon- Cybertruck Autopark 📐- Eye-tracking with sunglasses 🕶️ -… — Tesla AI (@Tesla_AI) September 5, 2024 Tesla has now […]
After an aberrant weakness in NVIDIA shares through much of yesterday's trading session that then culminated in another selloff once Bloomberg reported that the GPU manufacturer had been subpoenaed by the US Department of Justice (DOJ), the company has chosen to shrug off its reticence to comment on this matter by asserting that it has not received the talked-about subpoena. $NVDA Nvidia Says 'We Have Not Been Subpoenaed' By Dept.

While announcing his departure from OpenAI in March 2024, Ilya Sutskever had asserted that he was moving on to work on a "personally meaningful" project. Well, that project has just managed to raise some serious funding, potentially hinting at Sutskever's ultimate ambitions of taking on OpenAI, which remains under the firm tutelage of Sam Altman. While working as the chief scientist at OpenAI, Ilya Sutskever had backed a short-lived coup against the non-profit's CEO, Sam Altman, who was summarily dismissed by the board in late 2023 for his increasingly mercantile bent and his proclivity for pushing AI-related advancements without proper […]
Chip manufacturer Intel Corpration's contract manufacturing plans have apparently been dealt with a setback as wafer tests run by Broadcom's analysts have failed to yield satisfactory results, according to sources quoted by Reuters. These tests covered Intel's leading edge semiconductor technology, 18A, and after Intel shipped its customer the wafers last month, Broadloom's tests concluded that the process technology was not ready to move to high volume production. Semiconductor production takes place in phases, with high volume production being one of the final stages after chip manufacturers have fine tuned their equipment before feeling comfortable to risk thousands of wafers […]
TSMC's vice president of pathfinding and corporate research, Dr. Min Cao, believes that the demand for artificial intelligence chips will push the global semiconductor industry's revenue to $1 trillion in 2030. Dr. Cao made the remarks in Taipei, Taiwan, during the IMEC's ITF Taiwan technology forum. During his talk, the TSMC executive shared that since his firm was set up in 1987, a new wave of technology has emerged every decade or so. These waves, which cover personal computers, smartphones and automobiles have increased the revenue base. According to him, the latest technology wave is for artificial intelligence chips, which […]
Throughout today's regular trading session, investors continuously tried to determine the primary cause behind the relentless weakness in NVIDIA shares, one that saw the stock plunge by ~10 percent, erasing $278 billion in market capitalization and constituting a new record for any public company. Some pointed to today's release of ISM manufacturing survey, which saw inventories climbing by most since the pandemic-driven disruption. Others pointed to lingering concerns over the company's peaking margins as it ramps up production of the Blackwell chips while still pushing the previous-gen Hopper series of chips through its sales channels. As a refresher, while announcing […]
These days, it is fairly simple to predict Intel's stock price trajectory: the stock is down on an otherwise up day, and it is down on a generally red day. This chronic underperformance, which has seen Intel shares sink around 60 percent so far this year, is now likely to deprive the stock from a key source of passive inflows: the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) index. To wit, Reuters is now reporting that Intel is likely to get booted off the Dow Jones index. Bear in mind that the DJIA rebalances quarterly, when stocks are added or removed systematically […]
The new cold war, cloaked in silicon, is ratcheting up, with uncontested supremacy in the emerging AI-led, productivity-unlocking paradigm up for grabs. With the US and its allies determined to thwart Beijing's access to cutting-edge chips, China is finding progressively more creative ways to circumvent those restrictions, all the while trying to ramp-up its indigenous capacity. In the first half of 2024, China significantly increased its investment in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, spending a record $25 billion according to the global chip industry association SEMI. This amount surpasses the combined expenditures of South Korea, Taiwan, and the… — GammaLab (@gammalab_tweets) September […]
