Apple is the world’s first $3 trillion market value company, and it got there by generating tens of billions of dollars in revenue per quarter. Historically, that revenue has primarily come from hardware sales, but more recently the company’s coffers are being filled by non-hardware products, and thanks to DOJ’s ongoing antitrust trial against Google, we now know a lot more about the impressive non-hardware revenue Apple generates.
For the first 30 years of its
The Israel-Hamas conflict has been a minefield of confusing counter-arguments and controversies—and an information environment that experts investigating mis- and disinformation say is among the worst they’ve ever experienced.
In the time since Hamas launched its terror attack against Israel last month—and Israel has responded with a weekslong counterattack—social media has been full of comments, pictures, and video from both sides of the conflict putting
The heated antitrust battle between Google and the U.S. government is set to conclude in the coming days. It’s been a whirlwind 10-week bench trial, full of high-profile testimony, stunning revelations of backroom deals, and court-sanctioned secrecy. The crux of the government’s argument is Google struck anticompetitive deals with Apple and other phone manufacturers to make their search engine the default on mobile devices and gain an unfair advantage for its search advertising
If you’ve been seeing more social media content promoting fraud and scams, you’re not alone. Nearly one in four consumers in a recent survey have seen offers to participate in account-takeover schemes online.
This is because there’s a new category of influencer: fraudsters who teach and sell fraud “methods” on social media. These methods are how-tos on anything from credit card abuse and account takeovers to food delivery and travel loyalty point s
Over the course of my career managing teams at some of the largest enterprise tech companies, I’ve witnessed the vital role employee experience plays, not only in defining a great corporate culture but also in driving the impact a company can make on the world.
This point is especially true for the jobs that underpin our economy, such as manufacturing, transportation, construction, and agriculture, where the work is physically demanding and often dangerous. Because these indu
In the summer of 2021, researchers from the nonprofit 5 Gyres carried a crate filled with samples of plastic trash to a dock in Long Beach, California. Inside mesh bags were 22 different items (from straws and bottles to pens, tampon applicators, and baby wipes) made from different types of bioplastic, standard fossil-fuel-based plastic, and natural materials like bamboo and paper.
They lowered the crate into the water, weighed it down with bricks on the ocean floor, and came back r
The Biden administration released a National Spectrum Strategy on Monday to ensure that both federal operators and private companies can have adequate access to the finite resource.
“Innovations ranging from 5G networks, to precision agriculture, to unmanned aerial vehicles, to Moon missions take large amounts of spectrum to operate,” according to a fact sheet from the White House. “Meeting the demands of innovation requires America’s spectrum p
Over the past few years, the Kardashian family has evolved from a group of reality TV stars to a family of moguls. To create their businesses, many of them have turned to Emma Grede for help. London-born Grede cofounded denim company Good American with Khloé Kardashian in 2016, natural cleaning product line Safely with Kris Jenner, fashion line Khy with Kylie Jenner, and, of course, shapewear line Skims with Kim Kardashian. (Grede’s husband, Jens Grede, is also a Skims cofounder.)
Video-streaming platform Rumble is famously the site that Russell Brand fled to after being demonetized by YouTube in the wake of accusations of sexual harassment. It’s meanwhile been profiled by the New York Times as “the right’s go-to video site.”
And last year, when Pew Research released a massive dive into alt social media, it listed off some “affiliated prominent accounts” that had broken through. Among Rumble’s prominent account
AI assistants aren’t just for office work anymore.
Microsoft on Wednesday unveiled a new virtual Copilot in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Guides, which will let workers in industrial settings use speech and gestures to ask questions about the complex machinery they use and service. Microsoft’s HoloLens mixed reality headsets will let them point to equipment and parts, then ask questions about topics from component specifications to machinery service logs. The system can provi
