It's been more than a month since two Trump Mobile executives showed me what they claimed was the T1 Phone, and in the time since, there's been... nothing. No news, no announcements, no phone.

Laverty's social media agent started randomly deleting his posts. One founder's attention span is shrinking from constantly switching between coding ideas - he compared it to 'TikTok for work.'

Japanese footwear brand Koyo Bear created the first "meant for table tennis" shoe. Now, they've teamed up with the famed film production company in the wake of Marty Supreme to drop a co-branded reissue of Japanese table tennis player Ichiro Ogimura's 1952 design.

Sunday roast at six o'clock sharp. The smell of gravy wafting from the kitchen. Everyone seated around the same table, no exceptions. The clatter of cutlery on proper plates, not a phone in sight. If you grew up in a boomer household, this scene probably triggers some serious nostalgia. But describe it to today's kids, and they'd look at you like you're describing life on another planet.

There are a variety of reasons why companies take the rebrand plunge, but one thing is certain - they feel the action is worth the risk. The consumer market is so highly competitive that brands often need to take drastic measures to stay relevant. For many companies it can take a massive overhaul to fuel a brand enough to push through the masses and stay top of mind for consumers.

Grant­ed access to a time machine, few of us would pre­sum­ably opt first for the expe­ri­ence of skull surgery by the Incas. Yet our chances of sur­vival would be bet­ter than if we under­went the same pro­ce­dure 400 years lat­er, at least if it took place on a Civ­il War bat­tle­field. In both fif­teenth-cen­tu­ry Peru and the nine­teenth-cen­tu­ry Unit­ed States, sur­geons were per­form­ing a lot of trepa­na­tion, or removal of a por­tion of the skull.

In all the dystopian visions of the future that the movies have trotted out over the last few decades, the one that sticks the most, surprisingly, is WALL-E. That's not just because of the chastening sight of an over-polluted Earth or those sedentary humans glued to their screens. It's because those quite plausible possibilities mean something different in a kids movie. It's their future, after all.

Mortgage is at an inflection point, said Promisco. The winners over the next decade will be the most efficient, tech-enabled platforms focused on originator success. Mortgage is ultimately a people business and technology should make it easier for originators to do what they do best build trust, guide borrowers and create great experiences. He continued, Go Companies has the capital, talent and ambition to rethink how mortgages are originated, underwritten and delivered.

Ireland and China are both "major technological economies" which have transformed the lives of their people, Taoiseach Micheál Martin told one of the highest-ranking Chinese politicians during a bilateral meeting on Tuesday.

Wake. If you're lucky, that is morning's first task. Wake. Not rolling over onto your side, not recalling the thoughts that have stayed the night, like a tryst who cannot sense they're meant to leave before light breaks through on the pane. Leave that to phones - light breaking through, remembering everything. Wake - what a herculean task! To wake first, and not check your phone. Everything after that? A form of grace, if you believe in that sort of thing.

"It's progressing really well," Howard told the magazine. "The majority of the studio's on VI, but I'll say this: We always overlap. So, we're very used to overlapping development. And we have long pre-productions on things so that we feel good about them. And it's a process. We all wish it went a little bit faster - or a lot faster - but it's a process that we want to get right."

After strong performance in 2025, the index is showing signs that future gains will depend less on liquidity and more on earnings quality and valuation resilience. "The market has shifted from being liquidity-driven to earnings-sensitive," said Saqib Iqbal, market analyst at Becoin.net. "With multiple rate cuts behind us and macro data softening, Nasdaq performance is now tied to profit growth and cash-flow resilience, rather than just cheap money."

The velocity of change alone, says Constantine Alexandrakis, CEO of Russell Reynolds Associates, is unlike anything he has seen in his nearly twenty years at the executive recruitment firm. "Our clients are moving at a frenetic pace," he says. "Every company is driving transformation to either meet the moment or take advantage of it." The issues aren't new-trade, geopolitics, technology-but the intensity and overlap are. "The convergence of all these forces has made transformation ubiquitous and urgent," Alexandrakis says.

At the time I had been working in the Technology/Software world for 5 years, after a stint doing Interaction/UI/UX work in agencies. While agency work has a lot of positive aspects to it, I didn't think I was a good fit for it. I found the relationship and ultimately sense of ownership with a solution very fleeting, since in essence the engagement with the client had a time stamp on it, after which you simply started working on something else.

Over time, you learn that trust is not built in the moment of a sale, but in the quiet consistency that comes before and after it. It's about listening more than you speak, remembering the small things that matter to people, and showing up when it counts. Homes are where people live their stories, and when you help them find one, you become part of that story too.

When Jennifer Austin met Molly in second grade, they quickly became best friends. They giggled through classes until the teacher separated them, inspiring them to come up with their own language. They shared sleepovers and went on each other's family vacations. But they gradually drifted apart after Austin's family moved to Germany before the girls started high school. Decades passed before they recently reconnected as grown women.

The S&P 500 rose 0.2% early Wednesday and neared the all-time high it set a couple weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 127 points after setting its own record the day before, while the Nasdaq composite climbed 0.3%. Technology stocks swung back upward. Advanced Micro Devices rallied after its CEO said the chip company is expecting better than 35% annual compounded growth in revenue over the next three to five years. Nvidia, the dominant player in chips used for artificial-intelligence technology, also rose.

"I remember waiting every Friday for the officials to call our family's name," Roman recalls. "When they finally did, it felt like winning the lottery."

And while it is true that Jobs was as charismatic as Clooney and as manipulative as Machiavelli, the legend we helped him construct served many purposes beyond pumping up his own ego. He was an irresistible force who knew that in order to bring to market the amazing technological wonders that bubbled in his imagination, he also had to become the Svengali of the digital revolution that was to be the hallmark of his generation.

Meng Wanzhou (Sabrina Meng), Deputy Chairwoman, Rotating Chairwoman, CFO, Huawei Meng Wanzhou, daughter of company founder Ren Zhengfei, is chipmaker Huawei's CFO and, alongside deputy chair Eric Xu, one of its rotating chairs. Meng is now back in the chair's role in a six-month term that expires in March. Huawei is now part of China's chip plans. Nvidia considers Huawei a "strategic competitor." Huawei reported $118 billion in revenue for 2024, close to its 2020 record.
