A decade. That's roughly how long it would take Meta to break even on its artificial intelligence investment if the company somehow started pulling in $100 billion a year from AI products — a figure nowhere close to today's numbers. The Non-Advertising Gap Meta's total 2025 revenue reached $200.97 billion, yet only $4.8 billion of that came from sources outside…

Gemini Powers a New Era of Search Google reported another impressive quarter as artificial intelligence continued transforming its advertising ecosystem. The company's Gemini model has become a central component of Search, helping advertisers reach consumers with greater precision while improving the relevance of search results. Rather than replacing traditional search, AI is making it smarter and more effective for both…

PC gamers may soon face another major increase in graphics card prices. Nvidia is reportedly raising the cost of GPU packages supplied to board partners by 20% to 30%, with the change expected to affect the entire GeForce RTX lineup. Retail prices are already moving sharply. An Asus TUF RTX 5080 that sold for about $1,199 during winter is now…

The internet finally has a top-level domain bearing its most familiar name. Verisign has added .web to the global Domain Name System, ending a dispute that stretched across decades of internet history. The delay was not technical. The extension was proposed as early as 1997, but competing claims intensified when ICANN auctioned it in 2016. Seven applicants participated, and NU…

Artificial intelligence has sparked an unexpected surge in demand for physical books—not from readers, but from companies building next-generation AI models. As online content becomes increasingly saturated with AI-generated material, developers are searching for reliable human-written sources to improve model quality. Printed books offer structured, professionally edited information created long before generative AI flooded the web. That makes them valuable…

Most robotics startups begin by designing specialized hardware. Gritt is taking a different route: combining commercially available construction vehicles and robotic arms with an AI control system built for unpredictable outdoor worksites. That choice could become its most important competitive advantage. Developing proprietary machinery requires factories, supply chains, maintenance networks, and substantial capital. By adapting equipment from established manufacturers, Gritt…

Apple has reclaimed the title of the world’s most valuable public company, but the narrow lead over Nvidia matters less than the shift in investor thinking behind it. For much of the AI boom, Wall Street rewarded companies according to how aggressively they bought chips, built data centers, and trained models. Apple appeared vulnerable because it was spending far less…

Apple’s return to the top of the global valuation ranking was built on accelerating financial performance rather than a single product announcement. The company reported record revenue of $143.8 billion during its holiday quarter, followed by $111.2 billion in the March period. Growth extended across the iPhone and Services businesses, while Greater China returned to expansion despite intense competition from…

Samsung delivered another remarkable earnings milestone, proving that artificial intelligence remains one of the strongest profit engines in the global semiconductor industry. Yet the company's soaring operating income failed to convince investors that today's momentum can continue indefinitely. The market reaction highlights a growing shift in investor psychology. During the early stages of the AI infrastructure race, semiconductor companies were…

Market bottoms rarely arrive with optimism. Instead, they emerge when uncertainty dominates headlines and investors begin questioning long-term assumptions. Bitcoin appears to be moving through another phase where confidence remains fragile, but patient capital is quietly returning. Unlike previous cycles fueled by retail enthusiasm, the current market is increasingly shaped by professional investors evaluating liquidity, macroeconomic conditions, and long-term value.…

The global PC market has entered an unusual phase where declining shipments no longer translate into falling revenue. While worldwide deliveries slipped during the second quarter, rising component costs allowed manufacturers to increase prices, partially offsetting weaker demand. One company stood out from the broader trend. Apple expanded its market share as most leading PC vendors reported shipment declines, highlighting…

For years, stablecoins have been viewed primarily as tools for crypto traders. That perception could begin to change as some of the world's largest payment companies unite behind a common digital dollar initiative. The launch of Open Standard signals an effort to move stablecoins beyond exchanges and into mainstream commerce. Unlike previous blockchain projects driven by crypto-native firms, this initiative…

Microsoft's latest workforce reduction is about more than cutting costs. By extending layoffs beyond Xbox into commercial operations, the company is reshaping itself around a future where AI becomes part of everyday business processes. While executives insist that eliminated positions are not being replaced by artificial intelligence, the broader strategy suggests a different direction. Automation is increasingly handling repetitive tasks,…

Tesla has taken another visible step toward its autonomous transportation ambitions by launching engineering tests of the first production-spec Cybercab on public roads in Austin, Texas. Unlike earlier prototypes, this vehicle represents the production version of Tesla's purpose-built robotaxi. The Cybercab features no steering wheel or pedals, reflecting Tesla's long-term vision of fully autonomous mobility. During the test, however, a…

Meta has quietly removed facial recognition-related code from the companion app for its smart glasses after researchers discovered dormant software capable of identifying people through images captured by the device. Although the company says the feature was only an internal experiment and never activated, its discovery has reignited concerns about the future of wearable technology and biometric privacy. According to…
