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 […]

Competition is generally good for consumers, as per the prevailing conventional wisdom. For those who still doubt this paradigm, look no further than the price wars breaking across Wall Street over the imminent launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs. Some of our readers might be confused by all of the brouhaha over the launch of these spot Bitcoin ETFs, and rightfully so. After all, futures-based ETFs of the world's preeminent cryptocurrency already exist. However, Bitcoin's futures-based ETFs do suffer from material underperformance due to the fact that the contracts for the months ahead are usually priced at a premium to the […]
The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is slated to benefit heavily from an uptick in demand for semiconductor products that power data science and artificial intelligence computing systems. 2024's start has seen Intel, NVIDIA and AMD enter the year with new products designed specifically for A.I. use cases, and the tight nature of the semiconductor industry makes the coming couple of years some of the most interesting ones in its history, especially if today's industry report from Taiwanese sources stands the test of time. Tide In Semi Sector Turns To Advanced Machines & Utility Of Contract Manufacturing Model For Firms […]
Looking to start 2024 on a strong note, NASA's and SpaceX's next crewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS) is on track for a February launch. NASA confirmed a 'no earlier than' mid February launch date as of now in a post inviting media members for accreditation to view the Falcon 9 lift off with the Crew Dragon spacecraft from Florida at the Kennedy Space Center. The KSC is the only spaceport in the U.S. capable of sending astronauts to the ISS and deeper space. The site itself has an eventful year ahead of it if NASA can meet […]
NASA's upcoming launch of the first American lunar lander to the Moon, set for an attempt this coming Monday, also faced a massive cost increase after disruptions from the coronavirus pandemic upended nearly everything, everywhere. NASA is sending five payloads to the lunar surface on the Peregrine lunar lander on the United Launch Alliance's Vulcan rocket, and details shared by the agency during a media teleconference earlier today revealed that the contract cost is now $108 million. NASA & ULA's Upcoming Lunar Lander Launch On Monday Faces Long Delay If It Misses Early Monday Morning Launch The first Vulcan launch […]
Ahead of the launch of Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander on Monday, the United Launch Alliance (ULA) has transported its new Vulcan rocket to the pad at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The Peregrine is the U.S.'s first privately developed lunar lander, and its launch is part of a broader global private corporate interest in commercially led lunar exploration. The Peregrine lunar lander will also mark the second time that a U.S. launch company has sent a private spacecraft to the lunar surface, and the mission will fly on ULA's Vulcan rocket along with an upgraded Centaur upper stage.

Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) is out today with a much-needed qualifier regarding the emergent probability of its breakthrough GLP-1 weight loss treatments ending up as "lifestyle drugs of choice." To wit, Eli Lilly and Company has now published an open letter, noting among other things: "Mounjaro and Zepbound are indicated for the treatment of serious diseases; they are not approved for – and should not be used for – cosmetic weight loss." While addressing the emerging issues with off-label Tirzepatide-based cocktails, Eli Lilly and Company writes: "Lilly is extremely concerned that some of the compounded Tirzepatide that Lilly has […]
After a slow 2023 that saw the global semiconductor market slow down in the wake of high inflation and supply chain constraints, 2024 can prove to be a good year for the sector dominated by big ticket names such as Intel, TSMC and Samsung and a commanding presence of other firms such as Micron, United Microelectronics Corporation and SK hynix. According to SEMI.org's World Fab Forecast report, global semiconductor capacity, as present in all chip fabrication firms's production facilities, can cross a record 30 million wafers per month if the sudden uptick in demand for artificial intelligence (A.I.) and high […]
Bitcoin - that purest form of money to crypto maximalists and a veritable financial plague to its detractors - turns 15 today, based on the first Bitcoin block that was mined on the 03rd of January, 2009. However, this otherwise auspicious occasion has been utterly ruined by a decidedly bearish take from Matrixport, a crypto financial services and analysis firm, on the imminent launch prospects of some of the first spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US. 👀 Attack of the Bitcoin millionaires! On its 15th birthday, Bitcoin has nearly 100,000 $1 million addresses. 🎉 pic.twitter.com/Qtm2HFKwIe — Cointelegraph (@Cointelegraph) January 3, […]
To say that Tesla had a tumultuous 2023 would be an understatement. After all, the just-concluded year saw the EV giant's margins plummet to a nadir that would not have been computed in most analysts' expectations back in 2022, all in a bid to cut prices and stave off a steeper plunge in the demand for Tesla's offerings. Nonetheless, Elon Musk's iconic company appears to have pulled off another miracle of sorts, having ended 2023 on a decidedly optimistic note. The $TSLA IR-compiled consensus for 4Q delivs is 480.5K, which implies a FY’23 total of 1,805. TSLA will report 4Q […]
As 2023 comes to a close, Wall Street is confident that the approval of a bitcoin exchange-traded fund is on the horizon as several financial firms have filed their updated plans for the ETF with the SEC. The filings were necessary before the end of the year if the Bitcoin ETF is to be launched soon. Some big-ticket names that are on this list include BlackRock, Invesco, Fidelity and Valkyrie Investments. Bitcoin price has surged by a stunning 154% year to date after the cryptocurrency tanked in 2022 due to a shaken-up global economy in the aftermath of high interest […]
Former crypto boss Sam Bankman-Fried will not face a second trial in 2024, say prosecutors responsible for convicting him in a myriad of charges ranging from fraud to money laundering. Bankman-Fried's cryptocurrency exchange FTX made headlines last year when it declared insolvency and the inability to return customer deposits. At the heart of the matter was FTX's founder, and his trial saw Bankman-Fried claim innocence about the illegality of his actions. According to prosecutors, they have decided to forgo an additional trial since most of the evidence surrounding the accusations had already been presented in the first proceeding that saw […]
Aiming to gain a stronger presence in the artificial intelligence market, South Korean memory chip manufacturer SK hynix is expanding operations on the West Coast. The firm has recruited top former Intel and AMD executives to make them department heads at a NAND memory development facility in California suggests a report. SK hynix's greater focus on the NAND market comes as the firm expands its collaboration with Samsung to embed an image sensor on an A.I. chip. Image sensing is one of the biggest use cases of A.I. and machine learning, and through its partnership with Samsung, SK hynix aims […]
