DRAM contract prices have increased 171 percent year over year, according to industry data. Gerry Chen, general manager of memory manufacturer TeamGroup, warned that the situation will worsen in the first half of 2026 once distributors exhaust their remaining inventory. He expects supply constraints to persist through late 2027 or beyond.
In the race to deploy large language models and generative AI across global markets, many companies assume that "English model → translate it" is sufficient. But if you're an American executive preparing for expansion into Asia, Europe, the Middle East, or Africa, that assumption could be your biggest blind spot. In those regions, language isn't just a packaging detail: it's culture, norms, values, and business logic all wrapped into one. If your AI doesn't code-switch, it won't just underperform; it may misinterpret, misalign,
Shares of Rigetti Computing ( NASDAQ: RGTI) collapsed 40% over the past month, falling from $39 in early November to $23.45 on December 1. The crash coincided with a dramatic shift in retail investor sentiment, plummeting from bullish scores of 78-82 in late November to very bearish readings of 12-18 by early December on platforms like Reddit and X. The reversal centers on mounting concerns about insider selling, revenue declines, and extreme valuations across the quantum computing sector.
"If you are massively dyslexic, you cannot play a playbook," Karp said at the New York Times DealBook Summit. "There is no playbook a dyslexic can master. And therefore we learn to think freely."
Flying often first requires crawling, in a car, in slow or stopped traffic that eventually treats you to a view of airplanes soaring away from your ground-anchored vehicular misery. After decades of hype about flying cars, the past 10 years have seen a pivot to something of a car-plane hybrid: an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft that provides taxi-like service.
Lightpath, an all-fiber, infrastructure-based connectivity provider that is revolutionizing how organizations connect to their digital destinations, announced the expansion of its AI-grade network in Greater Columbus, Ohio. This latest project adds approximately 150 route miles of high-density fiber to the initial network announced earlier this year, more than doubling Lightpath's fiber footprint across the region. This success-based expansion reinforces Lightpath's growing presence in the Midwest and its strategy to deliver the next generation of network infrastructure purpose-built for AI-driven workloads.

Broadcom president and CEO Hock Tan presides over division heads Krish Prasad (VCF), Purnima Padmanabhan (Tanzu), and Umesh Mahajan (ANS).

Our conversation began with the latest report out of Europe. I told Lee that the region's automotive association released monthly sales showing Tesla down 49 percent and BYD up an astonishing 210 percent. Unit for unit, BYD is pulling away. The trend is not isolated. China just delivered Tesla its third-worst month in three years, and U.S. market share has collapsed from 80 percent in 2019 to about 45 percent today.
A 36-hour work sprint at xAI? Cue the applause from colleagues. Elon Musk's companies have long been known for their intensive work cultures. During Tesla's production ramps, some employees slept in their cars or, in Musk's case, on the factory floor. When Musk took over Twitter, he said to embrace an "extremely hardcore" schedule or be laid off. At xAI, one employee recently said that they worked for a day and a half straight, sparking responses from their colleagues - and Musk himself.
Google released Gemini 3, which is now powering AI Mode for some queries. Nano Banana Pro is out and it is also used in Google Search and Google Ads. Google released a number of new AI Mode features, including agentic applications. And, Google promoted its AI Opal tool to create AI-generated content in a scalable way - yeah, hard to accept.
The toxicity of his products is exceeded only by his gormless demeanour (let he who is without sin, cast the first stone). Yet, even those who consider him an enemy of humanity must admit that Zuckerberg possesses a talented grasp on the fundamentals of technology trends. Despite the clinical efficiency of his businesses in spreading misery, or perhaps proof of how well the product has been engineered underneath the hood - offerings like Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp, it is fair to acknowledge, are tightly-built products.
Having started his career as a project manager, Redmond delivered major initiatives for Xerox and Aon that touched on the implementation of technology. As he increasingly focused on IT systems, his career trajectory changed, saying: "I blended large-scale transformations with IT early in my career, so that's why I'm a technologist today." After working as head of strategy for brewer SAB Miller, in November 2016 Redmond joined FTSE 250 firm PageGroup - often best known by its Michael Page brand.
The initial results were horrifying. Will Smith looked nothing like his movie star self. Instead, he looked like a bad animation, complete with caricatured features that would be more at home on a tourist trap boardwalk. In some videos, he never actually consumed the spaghetti, failing to meet even the most basic premise of the test. The failures highlighted the early limitations of AI-generated video and images, which sometimes produced people with 8 fingers or other anatomical imperfections.
Google is testing using inline, hover-style links for citations in the AI Mode results. When you hover your mouse cursor over the link card, it will hover the link card sources over the answer. Google did tell us they are testing new ways to encourage clicks in AI Mode, so maybe this is one of them. This change was spotted by Brodie Clark at SERP Alert who posted a video of this on X, here is a screenshot from his video:
Microsoft recently announced a limited preview of Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) for hybrid environments, a new capability that brings cloud-native desktop virtualization to existing on-premises infrastructure. With this update, on-premises Arc-Enabled Servers can be configured as AVD session hosts, expanding Azure Virtual Desktop's hybrid capabilities beyond Azure Local to Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, VMware vSphere, and physical Windows Servers, or anywhere Arc-Enabled Servers can be deployed on-premises.
"I can now aim with my thoughts," wrote Rob Greiner, who is paralyzed from the shoulders down, in a post on X this Tuesday with video of his gameplay. Using a combination of a mouth-operated controller designed for quadriplegics called the QuadStick and Neuralink's implant, which is a brain computer interface, Greiner is able move his character in the world, look freely around, aim at enemies with his weapon of choice, and open fire.
Elon Musk's Starlink has gained yet another airline customer as the ultra-high-speed WiFi service continues to gain popularity. On the first day of this month's Dubai Airshow, Emirates announced that Starlink will be available for free, starting November 23. Business Insider previously tested Starlink on Qatar Airways' first flight with it last October. The connection speed peaked at 215 megabits per second, more than enough for a lag-free video call, and faster than many cable-based internet services.
It's time to take a break from family, stop stuffing your face with turkey, and enjoy an altogether more modern American Thanksgiving tradition: Black Friday tech deals. In theory, this is the time of the year when retailers heavily discount old stock to make room for the new, but finding actual deals on tech worth buying can be trickier than expected.
We urge you to use your law enforcement powers to hold Meta and CEO Mark Zuckerberg accountable for accepting fraudulent advertising that harms countless American consumers. A new investigation by Reuters found that Meta delivered 15 billion scam ads a day to users, exposing each person to roughly 11 scam ads daily. Not only was Meta well aware of the scale
