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 […]

The mayhem at Intel's corporate headquarters seems endless, with board members leaving, mass layoffs, a stringent cash conservation strategy that has now seen dividends slashed and winning investments - such as those in ARM Holdings - dumped unceremoniously, and a stock price that is in a tailspin. What's more, even Intel now expects no improvements until at least 2027. For the recently concluded quarter, Intel failed to meet the consensus expectations of analysts for its top-line and bottom-line metrics in Q2 2024, and compounded this failure by posting underwhelming results for the key DCAI segment, which indicates that it is not managing […]
Key NVIDIA server partner Super Micro, who has seen considerable attention from Wall Street in the current wave surrounding artificial intelligence computing, was at the center of a short seller report by Hindenburg Research earlier today. The report, released just as markets opened, alleged that the firm has been unable to rectify its financial practices after an SEC fine in 2018, and it operates through a network of shady related entities whose management has close ties with Super Micro's executives and its CEO. The allegations, which are only allegations as of now, did not see a response from Super Micro […]
NVIDIA's DRIVE Orin System-on-a-Chip (Soc) is currently a major player in the increasingly vibrant Chinese auto market, enabling a host of OEMs to deploy tailored Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADASs) for smart mobility. Yet, this dominance is now under threat from domestic competition. Meanwhile, Huawei's dedicated chip design unit, HiSilicon, is gearing up to announce some breakthroughs at its upcoming Connectivity Conference, which can potentially work towards chipping away NVIDIA's dominance in China's AI sphere. NVIDIA's DRIVE Orin SoC Now Faces A Number Of Upstart Competitors For the benefit of those who might not be aware, NVIDIA's DRIVE Orin is […]
With its earnings due after the closing bell tomorrow, NVIDIA's second quarter could be its last in the current semiconductor up cycle to deliver triple digit earnings growth, as per data from LSEG. NVIDIA, whose fiscal year ends in January, is due to report its earnings for the second quarter of the year ending in January 2025. Heading into the release, the market is concerned about a purported delay of NVIDIA's latest Blackwell AI GPUs, with speculation suggesting that this impact will be minimal and revenue will be pushed forward by a quarter at the very worst. NVIDIA To Mark […]
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson shared four key reasons his agency will continue to work with Boeing for crewed missions to the International Space Station (ISS) despite thruster problems on the latter's spacecraft. These problems forced NASA to err on the side of caution and decide to bring the crew back on SpaceX's Crew Dragon in February next year. Administrator Nelson shared the reasons during yesterday's media call, which announced NASA's decision. According to him, the need to have two dissimilar spacecraft for sending astronauts and the structure of NASA's contracts with Boeing are among the key reasons the pair will […]
According to government data compiled by Bloomberg, China continues to import semiconductor equipment at a record setting pace, with most orders coming from older generation machines. Due to its criticality in enabling advanced industries such as artificial intelligence and supercomputing, semiconductor equipment has become one of the most scrutinized industrial machinery in the world. This has led to sanctions against China by the US due to American concerns of US origin technologies being used to harm American national security. These restrictions have forced China to buy older equipment in order to keep pace with its domestic demand for chip products. […]
After wrestling with the relentless selling pressure from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC), combined liquidations of around 60,000 BTC by the German and the US governments, distributions to Mt Gox creditors amounting to over 100,000 BTC, and additional distributions related to the collapse of Celsius, Gemini, and Genesis Trading, Bitcoin is still trading at a $64,000 price handle. And, as we approach the strongest month for Bitcoin, as per historical precedents, the chorus around new all-time highs is building up to a near-deafening crescendo. Bitcoin Bulls Have Successfully Absorbed A Selling Pressure Of Around 1.2 Million BTC So Far […]
SpaceX president and chief operating officer Gwynne Shotwell has shared that her company is ready to work with NASA to bring back astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams on the Crew Dragon spacecraft. Wilmore and Williams' fate was decided by NASA earlier today after an agency review determined that the risk of bringing them back on Boeing's Starliner was too high. As a result, NASA will use SpaceX's Crew Dragon for the astronauts' return as part of the Crew-9 mission, which is currently slated to take off in late September. SpaceX Is Ready To Support NASA To The Best Of […]
In a press conference just moments back, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson confirmed that astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams would return on SpaceX's Crew 9 Dragon to Earth next year on Friday. The Administrator's announcement came after months of testing and data analysis that appeared to have been tilted in Boeing's favor up until last month. Nelson added that as of now, NASA continues to work with Boeing to ensure that Starliner will be able to conduct future missions to the ISS, and as part of his opening remarks, the NASA Administrator outlined that we have been "very solicitous" of […]
Tesla is now contending with the fallout from its extremely rosy but as yet unfulfilled promises that were made back in 2016, when the EV giant offered unqualified commitments to eventually equip all of its vehicles sold since then with robotaxi-grade FSD capabilities. Now, given the engineering challenges involved in forcing older hardware to work seamlessly with Tesla's ever-evolving FSD software, the EV giant has apparently rescinded on its commitments, opening the door to billions of dollars worth of refund liabilities. Concerning. @Tesla is scrubbing evidence of its promise that all Teslas built after 2016 have the hardware necessary for […]
Nancy Pelosi, one of the most prominent career Democrats on the hill, is a veritable stock-picking powerhouse who has single-handedly inspired a legion of retail traders to start following her moves in the stock market in a bid to capture some of that oozing alpha - a measure of a stock picker's ability to generate returns that exceed those produced by the market. Back in early July, Nancy Pelosi created a buzz after disclosing a slew of new trades just ahead of the 04th of July holiday in the US. Specifically, the career Democrat purchased Broadcom call options as well […]
In what is turning out to be the technology sector's "most important" event in years, at least according to the latest commentary from Wedbush Securities, NVIDIA is slated to report its earnings for the second quarter of its fiscal year 2025 on the 28th of August.
