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 […]

You might well ask, notwithstanding the terrible human cost, how can a localized war in a small strip of land off the Mediterranean cost affect global supply chains? Given the inflamed emotions and the growing number of attacks on Israeli tankers traversing international waters, the ongoing Israel-Palestine war in Gaza is about to stretch the global shipping timelines significantly, impacting a host of companies in the process. With Tesla already reeling from the anemic demand for its EVs, the upcoming significant price hikes for its China-sourced exports to the EU will likely have a substantially negative impact on the company's […]
Some called it a well-disguised bull trap. Others called it a mirage. But Bitcoin has proven its detractors wrong for the umpteenth time this bull cycle, having scaled past the psychologically important $40,000 price level just moments ago. As is evident from the above chart, Bitcoin just created a new cycle high by hitting the $40,076 price level moments ago. The world's preeminent cryptocurrency is up 14 percent over the past month and a whopping 140 percent since the start of 2023. Okay, we're nearing in on deadline dates for 3 spot #Bitcoin ETF applications. I want to get […]
Bill Ackman, the founder and CEO of the hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management, has quite a sordid history when it comes to walking the talk. Who can forget the billionaire's seemingly desperate exhortations in March 2020, declaring "hell is coming?" What's even more interesting, even as Bill Ackman's words tanked the stock market at the time, he was apparently buying stocks hands over fist. Consider the fact that the billionaire hedge fund manager suggested at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic that Hilton Hotels was essentially heading to zero. The catch: just a few days later, the hotel ended […]
SpaceX's first Starship test flight in April carries the risk of significantly delaying the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Artemis program to develop a sustainable human presence on the Moon, according to a report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO). NASA's Artemis III flight is currently planned to take off in 2025, and the GAO's report shares that several portions of SpaceX's Human Landing System (HLS) development are taking longer than NASA programs typically do based on average historical data. Other key constraints identified for a 2025 launch include delays with the new spacesuits that Axiom Space is designing […]
SpaceX and Tesla chief Elon Musk, in a talk given at the New York Times' Digital Events Summit, flat-out refused claims by A.I. companies that they do not train on copyrighted data. Musk's talk was widely quoted by the press for his expletive directives to advertisers to stop using X if they feel like it after the billionaire was embroiled in a controversy resulting from political frictions in the aftermath of the Israel-Palestine conflict. The talk saw Musk share his thoughts about the ouster of OpenAI's current CEO, Sam Altman, and OpenAI's former head of research, Ilya Sutskever. OpenAI Should […]
Bone and muscle data for mice gathered by researchers from the Harvard Medical School and the University of Rhode Island shows that it is possible to mitigate some of the effects of zero gravity. Muscular atrophy and loss of bone density are key concerns for space travelers, particularly those on long-duration missions. The research is one of the first of its kind to simulate the effects of artificial gravity on mice that were present on the International Space Station (ISS), with the mice exposed to different levels of gravity on the ISS. Preliminary Research Shows Artificial Gravity Can Help Mitigate […]
With a growing advertiser-led backlash threatening the financial foundations of his X social media platform, Elon Musk appears to be alternating between fits of rage over the spiraling controversy and episodes of contrition. After his public tour of Israel over the past few days to smooth over ruffled feathers, Elon Musk might well win forgiveness for his impromptu actions that have been deemed to be anti-Semitic, but will we get more circumspection from the world's richest person going forward? Watch my conversation with @ElonMusk: https://t.co/YedkELVhFn — Andrew Ross Sorkin (@andrewrsorkin) November 29, 2023 At the time of writing, Elon Musk […]
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets, which have flown nearly 90 times this year, are now causing astronomers to worry about the impact that they are making on the Earth's ionosphere. After launching its payload into space, the Falcon 9 fires up its Merline engines to reorient itself and reduce its speed for landing on land or in the sea. Similarly, after the second stage has finished its mission, it also fires up its engines to return to Earth. These engines create holes in the ionosphere, a layer of charged gas surrounding the Earth that plays a crucial role in satellite communication. […]
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is gearing up to make history next month as it prepares to launch the first American lunar lander in five decades. 21st-century NASA is different from the agency of the Apollo era since it has outsourced several crucial projects to the corporate sector. Among these is the Peregrine lunar lander, developed by Astrobotic in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Peregrine is slated to fly on the United Launch Alliance's (ULA) brand-new Vulcan rocket on December 24th, and NASA officials shared details about the plan during a press teleconference earlier today. Onboard the lander will be several […]
GLP-1 weight loss drugs and the ongoing advances in the AI sphere are currently two of the biggest thematic plays that Wall Street is relentlessly championing, facilitating a phenomenal influx of capital in companies that are seen as beneficiaries of the upheaval that the proponents of these nascent technologies argue is just around the proverbial corner. Recently, GLP-1 drugs from the likes of Novo Nordisk (NVO) and Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) have been billed as a blessing in disguise for the airline industry and a harbinger of doom for the fast food sector. Can a single drug really induce […]
Santa Clara, California-based semiconductor designer NVIDIA Corporation will be the biggest chip company in the world in 2023, according to the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) chairman, Dr. Mark Liu. NVIDIA was the darling of Wall Street in 2023 as investors rushed to pile in the shares after the success of OpenAI's ChatGPT in late 2022. NVIDIA's shares provided the investors some respite from the stock market devastation due to high interest rates, and the firm kept up with the hype as its latest quarterly earnings report reported 3x annual revenue growth. TSMC Chairman Says Company Is Aware Of Customer […]
Jeff Bezos's rocket company, Blue Origin, is entering the final stages of the development cycle of its New Glenn heavy-lift rocket, according to footage from Florida close to NASA's Kenndy Space Center in Florida. Like Falcon 9, New Glenn is a reusable rocket whose first-stage booster is designed for a propulsive vertical landing. However, unlike the Falcon 9, the rocket uses seven BE-4 rocket engines, which are more powerful than their Merlin counterparts, and according to Blue Origin, the rocket is designed to fly at least 25 times before it is retired. Blue Origin's New Glenn Heavy Lift Rocket Readies […]
