Tesla’s India Country Head Resigns As Elon Musk-Led Company Finalizes Launch Plans In World’s Third-Largest Auto Market: Report Tesla’s India Country Head Resigns As Elon Musk-Led Company Finalizes Launch Plans In World’s Third-Largest Auto Market: Report As the electric vehicle manufacturer is finalizing plans to launch operations in the third-largest car market in the world, Prashanth Menon, the Country Head for India for Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), has reportedly resigned after nine years with the CEO Elon Musk-led company. What Happened: Menon, who oversaw operations in India as Chairman of Tesla India Motors and Energy Pvt. for more than four years, was instrumental in the company’s establishment of a local office in Pune in 2021 and the purchase of its first retail leases in Mumbai and Delhi earlier this year, according to sources cited by Bloomberg. Don’t Miss: The resignation comes right before Tesla’s anticipated arrival in India. No immediate successor has been named, and the report states that Tesla’s operations in India will be temporarily managed by its China teams. Tesla did not immediately respond to Benzinga’s request for comment. Why It Matters: In order to create more favorable conditions for Tesla’s entry, India is currently negotiating a trade agreement with the United States that could reduce auto import tariffs, which were previously as high as 110%. India recently lowered its 110% tariff to 15% on EVs costing more than $35,000. Tesla has made progress in its plans to grow in India by securing retail space and hiring more locals. The report claims that the company has also begun to reimburse early Model 3 reservations dating back to 2016, seemingly in preparation for the release of newer models. Amid trade tensions between the United States and China, Tesla is investigating semiconductor supply chains in India in addition to its retail operations. According to reports, the company has discussed chip supplies with ***** Electronics, CG Semi, and Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MU).

Fowler-Nembhard stars as Fever crush Mavericks in Perth Fowler-Nembhard stars as Fever crush Mavericks in Perth Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard has produced yet another outstanding display to lift the West Coast Fever to a crushing 78-61 win over the Melbourne Mavericks at RAC Arena. Fowler-Nembhard scored 60 goals from 62 attempts in Saturday night’s Super Netball clash in what was her strongest game yet since returning from personal leave. The Fever were bottom of the table nursing a 0-2 record after two rounds, but the return of Fowler-Nembhard has sparked a three-game winning run that has lifted West Coast into third. “We knew what we had to do and we wanted to get in that top four,” Fowler-Nembhard told Fox Sports. “I’m happy for how we performed as a team to get there. “We had one mission today, which was to come out and execute our game plan, and I thought we did that really well, both in attack and defence.” Fever captain Jess Anstiss was also sensational, with her tireless work at wing defence proving crucial in the dominant win. “Today I just saw the opportunity to have more attack in my game, so I thought I’d take it on, and I was able to get in the right positions and help out the attackers,” Anstiss said. The Mavericks suffered a big blow on the eve of the match when captain Amy Parmenter was ruled with an ankle injury. The visitors shot at just 76 per cent in the first half, with former Fever shooter Sasha Glasgow missing all four of her Super Shots in the opening term. Fowler-Nembhard was an unstoppable force from the outset. Her accuracy and ability to reel in the long passes helped Fever shoot out to a 22-14 lead by quarter time in front of 7967 adoring fans. The lead blew out to 11 early in the second quarter, but the Mavericks’ decision to replace Glasgow with Uneeq Palavi paid initial dividends. Palavi’s no-look passes to goal shooter Shimona Jok helped give her team a buzz, with the Mavericks entering half-time down 38-29 but still in the contest. The third quarter was disastrous for the Mavericks, with West Coast entering the final change boasting a match-winning 59-42 lead on the back of Fowler-Nembhard’s dominance. Mavericks goal shooter Jok tried hard with 40 goals from 42 attempts, but the supply dried up at crucial moments of the match. The result left the Mavericks nursing a 1-4 record.

China Unveils Strange Device to Find Invisible Objects China Unveils Strange Device to Find Invisible Objects China is outpacing the world in robotics production, building safer alternatives to uranium reactors, and flooding the globe with high-tech electric vehicles — to name just a few of the rising superpower’s achievements. But the country is also innovating on the military front — a domain usually thought to be dominated by the United States. Researchers at the 38th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation recently announced the successful development of a handheld device they say can detect cloaked stealth fighters. The new bit of kit blends civilian telecoms tech with military-grade radar sensitivities according to the South China Morning Post, a Hong Kong-based newspaper. The researchers claim that it can detect stealth signals at a rate of “100 percent.” Here’s how it works: US stealth vehicles use a system called low-probability-of-intercept radar (LPIR) to operate virtually undetected. LPIR makes military hardware nearly untraceable by employing several methods, including spamming a bevvy of super-weak radio signals across a wide range of frequencies, modulating rapidly. This device, the researchers claim, can crack these quickly-changing signals with “ultra sensitivity, extremely fast speed,” and across a wide range of frequencies from “5kHz to 44 GHz,” per the SCMP. Even through electronic jamming — when a detection device is bombarded with noisy, high-power signals — the tablet can locate LPIR devices with an error margin of 0.4 to 0.5 inches, according to the researchers. If it’s as effective in real life as it was in testing, it could signal a pivotal point in the US-China arms race. The US uses LPIR on a huge range of equipment, from stealth bombers and unmanned drones to nuclear submarines. As essentially a repurposed tablet you could buy from a wholesaler, the gadget is blisteringly cheap compared to highly specialized military hardware. The handheld device used to build the stealth-detector rings in at less than $68,600 online, meaning the ******** military could very easily roll these out to its troops en masse, potentially lowering the threat of a first strike. Meanwhile, the hardware it’s meant to detect — like the B-2 stealth bomber — can cost as much as $2 billion to produce. However, that’s presupposing that it actually works and lives up to the researchers’ claims. There’s also the chance that the US military, or one of its many tech contractors, could find a new solution to avoid being detected. Though the device seemingly has no offensive application, it could be a major defensive tool as the US military under Trump maintains a large presence around China.

Borrowers could save hundreds per month as experts tip up to four RBA interest rate cuts this year Borrowers could save hundreds per month as experts tip up to four RBA interest rate cuts this year Under-pressure homeowners are set to win in a new mortgage war sparked by as many as four interest rate cuts this year, as major lenders race to slash fixed rates to entice new customers. Experts say this month’s expected interest rate cut should spark new offers for those looking to refinance, with nine lenders cutting their rates in the past week — a potential saving of hundreds per month for those on the average-sized loan. ANZ last week was the latest to take an axe to its fixed rate home loans, cutting by up to 0.4 percentage points for owner-occupiers and up to 0.45 percentage points for investors. That takes ANZ’s lowest fixed rate to 5.39 per cent — the lowest two-year fixed rate of the big four banks. It follows a similar slash from National Australia Bank and Macquarie last month. Mid-tier Bank of Queensland and Police Bank have the lowest fixed rates on the market at 4.99 per cent after cutting earlier this month. Comparison site Finder’s head of consumer research Graham Cooke expects a May rate cut to to shift even more focus onto home loan rates and trigger a fresh round of refinancing. Mr Cooke’s advice is for borrowers to find out their bank’s actual rate and what the lowest available rates are in the market. “Call your bank and tell them you found a cheaper rate. If they don’t offer you a deal, then move to a new lender,” he said. “There’s a lot of talk about whether the next (Reserve Bank) cut will be 25 or 50 basis points, but the gap between the average market rate and the lowest (rate) is about 40 basis points. You can give yourself nearly two rate cuts by switching, depending on your current rate. “Refinancing is relatively smooth, you can do it online and your new lender will handle everything.” The RBA next meets on May 19-20, when it is widely expected to cut rates. Borrowers were denied back-to-back mortgage relief in April, with the cash rate held steady at 4.1 per cent. Finder predicts three to four more rate cuts before the end of the year, with each cut saving the average homeowner just under $100 a month. Economists at the four major banks expect between two and four cuts in the same *******. Canstar data insights director Sally Tindall said the rate slashing was good news for borrowers. “When the big banks go head-to-head on rate, what this tells us is that competition in the mortgage market is alive and kicking,” she said. “While these kinds of rate cuts are typically reserved for new customers, this doesn’t mean existing borrowers have to miss out. “If your bank is advertising a rate that’s lower than the one you’re on, pick up the phone and ask why. Alternatively, you can capitalise on this competition by turning yourself from a long-serving existing customer into a new one, unlocking discounts some banks are only willing to offer new business.” Credit reporting agency Equifax recorded a 5.2 per cent jump in mortgage demand year-on-year in March, driven by refinancing activity. It found refinancing accounted for 37 per cent of all mortgage applications in March following the rate cut in February. NAB boss Andrew Irvine is optimistic about falling interest rate and its ability to boost house prices, which could lead to more refinancing activity in the market.

Interest rate cuts and trade deals lift the mood Interest rate cuts and trade deals lift the mood Behold the heatwave! The temperatures, after dipping into the teens – and even lower with cloud cover to boot – are rising again amid the promise of more sunshine this weekend. Past that weather report, in the world of finance a lot has happened this week. Central banks took a call on interest rates, the US and China are holding their first trade talks today in Switzerland, and the *** became the first nation to seal a trade deal with the US after president Trump’s tariff policy upended the global economy. The *** also signed a trade with India, and mergers and acquisitions were in focus with DoorDash (DASH) agreeing to acquire Deliveroo (ROO.L) for $3.8bn (£2.9bn) and Associated British Foods (ABF.L) buying dairy technology firm National Milk Records for £48m. There were also reports of Shell (SHEL.L) preparing a takeover bid for BP (BP.L), though both declined to comment about this to Yahoo Finance. A major *** think tank warned of tax rises, saying chancellor Rachel Reeves is running out of choices and facing a reckoning before the autumn budget when the government may have to discard its self- imposed fiscal rules — thanks to reduced growth projections amid mounting global uncertainty. Quite a lot to unpack, you see. But before we get to that, here’s how Warren Buffett signed off at the 60th annual shareholder meeting of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B, BRK-A) last Sunday, signalling it would be his final appearance as chairman and CEO. “That’s the news hook for the day,” 94-year-old Buffett said, as he announced his retirement after six decades in which he transformed a struggling textile company that he took over in 1965 into a $1.12tn behemoth. In the interim, the price of Berkshire class A shares rose from $19 to $778,173 — a staggering 4,095,546% growth. To visualise that scale of growth, imagine Berkshire as an average-sized tree in 1965. It would have grown so tall today that the top would reach the International Space Station. On that note, here are the highlights from the last seven days, plus a glimpse at the week ahead. Warren Buffett shook the investment world last week with four words: ‘The time has arrived.’ · Reuters / Reuters Warren Buffett to step down as Berkshire Hathaway CEO at year-end, Greg Abel to take over Warren Buffett announced at the 60th annual shareholder meeting of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B, BRK-A) on Saturday 3 May that he plans to hand over the reins at year-end. “I think it’s time that Greg [Abel] should become the chief executive officer of the company at year-end,” said Buffett. “And I want to spring that on the directors, effectively, and give that as my recommendation.” Abel, currently vice chairman at Berkshire Hathaway and overseer of the company’s operating businesses, was tabbed as Buffett’s successor in 2021. Buffett said that he has no plans to sell any of his Berkshire Hathaway stock as part of this transition. He has served as CEO since 1970. Bank of England cuts interest rates to 4.25% The Bank of England (BoE) cut interest rates to 4.25% in a quarter-point reduction on Thursday. The cut marked its fourth since rates peaked at 5.25% last year and comes amid a global trade war and a weak domestic economy. BoE governor Andrew Bailey said policymakers should take a “gradual and careful” approach to cutting interest rates. Bailey said: “Inflationary pressures have continued to ease, so we’ve been able to cut rates again today. The past few weeks have shown how unpredictable the global economy can be.” Fed holds rates steady, defying Trump’s call for cuts The Federal Reserve held US interest rates steady on Wednesday for the third meeting in a row, defying president Donald Trump’s calls for it to again loosen monetary policy while also warning of increased economic uncertainty. Fed chair Jerome Powell said the central bank does not “need to be in a hurry” as it evaluates how Trump’s tariffs will affect employment and inflation and whether talks with America’s largest trading partners change the outlook. Powell made it clear he is concerned about the effect Trump’s tariffs could have: “My gut tells me that uncertainty for the path of the economy is extremely elevated.” ***-US trade deal benefits Rolls-Royce amid tepid FTSE The ***-US trade deal announced on Thursday received a mixed response from market observers, with most remaining guarded about its long-term prospects. Hailed as a ‘breakthrough and great deal’ by Trump, the US-*** pact is the first for his administration since imposing — then pausing — sweeping “reciprocal” tariffs against all trading partners in early April. It offers the *** relief from tariffs on cars and steel, while the *** reduces tariffs on US products, including beef and ethanol. Overall, a 10% tariff on most imports remains in place. The London stock market, however, didn’t move much either with the anticipation of the deal or its announcement. The FTSE 100 (^FTSE) closed 0.3% lower on the day, and lagged behind its European peers. The FTSE 250 (^FTMC) only delivered minor gains. Rolls-Royce (RR.L) shares jumped as it emerged as a big winner from the trade deal. It won’t have to pay tariffs on aircraft engines shipped to Boeing (BA) in the US.

How to manage your Linux resources with Mission Center How to manage your Linux resources with Mission Center Ubuntu has a great System Monitor tool already built into the OS. And, there are also a plethora of terminal based alternatives such as htop, bashtop, or just plain ol’ top. These all work great but what if you want to try something different? Mission Center, created by Romeo Calota, is a more user-friendly system monitoring tool that covers CPU, GPU, RAM, disks (including SMART functionality), network and fan speeds for Linux machines. We’ve installed it onto our test machine, an 8th gen Intel Lenovo X390 laptop and we’ll walk you through installation and configuration. The user interface is very “Windows 11” but that is not a backhanded compliment. The UI is clear and easy to use, versus terminal applications which while useful, can be a little overwhelming for new users. Mission Center Key Features Monitor overall or per-thread CPU usage See system process, thread, and handle count, uptime, clock speed (base and current), cache sizes Monitor RAM and Swap usage See a breakdown how the memory is being used by the system Monitor Disk utilization and transfer rates Monitor network utilization and transfer speeds See network interface information such as network card name, connection type (Wi-Fi or Ethernet), wireless speeds and frequency, hardware address, IP address Monitor overall GPU usage, video encoder and decoder usage, memory usage and power consumption, powered by the popular NVTOP project Monitor system fans See a breakdown of resource usage by app and process Supports a minified summary view for simple monitoring Use hardware accelerated rendering for all the graphs in an effort to reduce CPU and overall resource usage Uses GTK4 and Libadwaita Written in Rust Installation There are many ways to install Mission Center on your Linux machine. The Flatpak can be installed via Flathub, there is a self-contained app image release that can be used on many Linux distros. For this how to, we’ll focus on installing a Snap package on Ubuntu 25.04. Snaps are Canonical’s sandboxed application installer which enables apps to talk to the underlying OS, but not make any major changes. 1. Press the Super (Windows) key and search for “app”. Click on the App Center icon. (Image credit: Tom’s Hardware) 2. Search for Mission Center and select it from the drop down list. (Image credit: Tom’s Hardware) 3.

Click on the hamburger icon in the top right corner and select “Preferences”. (Image credit: Tom’s Hardware) 2. Under Performance Page change set Smooth Graphs and Sliding Graphs to On. This will smooth out the lines drawn for the graph, and animate the graph’s progress using a slide.You will see a performance hit though, so enable this at your own risk. (Image credit: Tom’s Hardware) 3. Click on the X to close the popup dialog. App Monitoring Mission Center can also monitor the running apps and processes. We can see the RAM, CPU and Drive usage of each app and process. And in the same manner as htop or top etc, we can stop or force stop running apps / processes 1. Click on the Apps tab at the top of the Mission Center window. (Image credit: Tom’s Hardware) 2. Open another application, we opened Google Chrome. 3. Click on the app in Mission Center. You can click on the dropdown next to the app, this will show all of the running instances for the app. (Image credit: Tom’s Hardware) 4. Click on Details. (Image credit: Tom’s Hardware) 5. The new dialog box will tell you all of the resources used by the app / process. Click on the X to close the dialog. (Image credit: Tom’s Hardware) 6. In the top right corner, click on Force Stop to close the application (Google Chrome). This will, abruptly, force close the application. It is sudden and quite hostile, so only do this to a real application if it has truly crashed. (Image credit: Tom’s Hardware) Monitoring Services Mission Center’s third tab shows all of the running services that work behind the scenes. These can be services for Bluetooth, system security and mounting drives. By examining the details of the selected service, we can see who is the owner of the service, its status and enable / disable a service (if we have the correct permissions, or run the application with sudo). 1. Click on the Services tab at the top of the Mission Center window. (Image credit: Tom’s Hardware) 2. Select a running service. (Image credit: Tom’s Hardware) 3. Click on Details.

Wallabies star Lolesio suffers suspected spinal injury Wallabies star Lolesio suffers suspected spinal injury Wallabies flyhalf Noah Lolesio has been stretchered off with a reported spinal injury in the first half of the Western Force’s Super Rugby Pacific hosting of the ACT Brumbies in Perth. The Brumbies’ and incumbent *********** No.10 was twisted in a seemingly accidental off-the-ball play while trying to repel a Force attack on his goal line in the 20th minute of Saturday night’s derby. It was initially unclear if Lolesio had suffered a back, hip or leg injury in the incident. But Stan Sport’s sideline commentator and former Wallabies star Cameron Shepherd said Lolesio had sustained a spinal injury. “We don’t want to speculate too much at the moment because there’s a lot of scans and a lot of checks that need to be done,” Shepherd said. “But the one small bit of good news is that he is moving his arms and legs. “They have confirmed it is a spinal injury. At the moment, we just don’t understand the severity. “But, fingers crossed, moving his arms and legs is obviously a very, very good sign.” Lolesio’s injury comes almost exactly 24 hours after fellow Wallabies star Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii was escorted off the field on a medicab and in a neck brace during another *********** derby between his NSW Waratahs and the Queensland Reds in Sydney. Suaalii was knocked out after copping an accidental knee to the head from his Waratahs and Wallabies teammate Andrew Kellaway. Waratahs coach Dan McKellar said post-match Suaalii went home with his parents in a “groggy” concussed state. Concerned Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt was watching on at Allianz Stadium. While Lolesio will most likely be overlooked for Test selection in 2025 after opting to move to Japan at season’s end, his injury is another potential huge blow for Schmidt ahead of the looming arrival of the British and Irish Lions for a three-Test series this winter.

In-N-Out Burger adds three new California locations to list of 2025 openings In-N-Out Burger adds three new California locations to list of 2025 openings In-N-Out is expanding to seven new locations in and outside California in 2025. (Robbin Goddard/Los Angeles Times) In-N-Out Burger is expanding its footprint in California and beyond. The beloved burger joint recently added to its Grand Openings catalog three new locations in California: Indio, Modesto and Monrovia. The trio of stores will open in 2025 alongside a previously announced Sylmar, Calif., site and three other locations across Arizona, Colorado and Washington — the last of which marks In-N-Out’s debut in the state. The first of the new restaurants, in Brighton, Colo., opened its doors Friday, said In-N-Out spokersperson Kathleen Hardesty said in a statement. . The remaining stores are currently under construction and slated to open this year, Hardesty said, adding that “given the unpredictable nature of the development process, we’re unable to provide specific opening dates at this time.” Read more: Why In-N-Out has barely changed its business for 75 years — not even its fries In-N-Out currently operates in eight states, with just over two-thirds of its stores located in California. Much of the burger chain’s expansion in recent years has targeted areas with high population growth, said Jim Salera, a restaurant industry analyst at Stephens. That includes both inland cities in California and out-of-state hot spots. “California was always a state that had a faster growing population, and now you see that more in areas like Arizona, Texas, Florida, Tennessee,” Salera said. “I don’t think it’s coincidental that if you start to look at places where these restaurants are opening up new spots, it’s that same list of states.” Read more: Sunny but expensive: Thousands more workers left California than arrived during a stretch last year. Here’s where they went. In-N-Out’s continued out-of-state expansion isn’t about fleeing California, Salera said, although labor inflation and rising costs of operation in the state could factor into the equation. “It’s more just an optimization of their footprint,” Salera said. By opening locations outside California, the company prevents its current stores from cannibalizing each other’s sales — among the reasons Shake Shack cited for its recent L.A. closures. The move also capitalizes on the market opportunity presented by domestic migration. “It’s easier to sell to somebody who already knows you,” Salera said, noting that California expats in the Pacific Northwest and the Sun Belt are safe bets for business. Read more: Contributor: California’s population bump won’t make up for its long term slide Story Continues In-N-Out opened its first location outside of California in 1992 in Las Vegas. In 2023, the company announced it would move further east with a handful of restaurants and an eastern territory office set to open in Tennessee in 2026. Earlier this year, the company announced it will shutter its Orange County corporate office, where the company has been based since 1994, and relocate employees back to Baldwin Park, where its founders first opened a drive-through restaurant in the 1940s. In-N-Out’s third-generation, owner Lynsi Snyder, said at the time of the corporate consolidation that her family “would be in support of this move because it brings our In-N-Out family back together in a way that helps us better serve our Customers, who are the most important priority.” Read more: In-N-Out ends secret menu price hack — here’s the proof In-N-Out’s new locations are as follows: 1.

Despelote Review – A Celebration of Childhood & Collective Joy | Cultured Vultures Despelote Review – A Celebration of Childhood & Collective Joy | Cultured Vultures WTMG’s Leo Faria: “Despelote is not awful… it’s just very confusing. I appreciate the interesting premise and presentation, but it’s just somewhat devoid of elements that make it a proper “game”. Even the football-related gameplay (or what little of it is present) feels clunky and shallow. I also think the story could have been more focused on the innocence and lack of urgency in the life of a child – it would have made it a lot more relatable. Maybe turning this autobiographical tale into a game wasn’t the best idea, as an experimental animation featuring the exact same art style would have made it stand out even more.” Source link #Despelote #Review #Celebration #Childhood #Collective #Joy #Cultured #Vultures Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

South of Midnight (XS) Review | VGChartz South of Midnight (XS) Review | VGChartz VGChartz’s Lee Mehr: “In the end, South of Midnight’s dividing line is the contrast between its artistically-inspired choices and pre-packaged gameplay. Emphasizing the latter is perfectly reasonable; how you reach a conclusion plays a significant role alongside the who, what, where, and why. And seeing such propulsive enthusiasm within its few boss encounters not replicated more broadly does create a certain whiplash. However, my own teetering point stems from seeing Compulsion’s latest as – strangely – a collected sum of its parts, as if entrenching a standardized foundation was necessary to focus those creative energies everywhere else.” Source link #South #Midnight #Review #VGChartz Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Sony Xperia 1 VII Design, Colour Options Spotted in Leaked Renders; Sony WH-1000XM6 to Debut on May 15 Sony Xperia 1 VII Design, Colour Options Spotted in Leaked Renders; Sony WH-1000XM6 to Debut on May 15 Sony Xperia 1 VII is expected to launch next week and the company’s next flagship smartphone is likely to arrive with a familiar design, according to leaked renders. The successor to the Xperia 1 VI has been spotted in leaked design renders that indicate it will be available in three colour options. It is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s top of the line Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, along with 12GB of RAM. Meanwhile, the company has also announced the launch date for the Sony WH-1000XM6. Sony Xperia 1 VII Design, Colour Options (Expected) Android Headlines published images showing the upcoming Sony Xperia 1 VII in three colourways. While the company has yet to share any details of the handset, the publication claims that the Xperia 1 VIII will be available in ******, Green, and Purple colour options. Sony Xperia 1 VII design renders Photo Credit: Android Headlines In terms of design, the leaked images suggest that are hardly any major changes on the Sony Xperia 1 VIII. The handset has a tall display with the selfie camera integrated into the top bezel. On the back, there’s a triple rear camera setup that is located in the top left corner, along with a dual LED flash. According to the publication, the ultrawide and main camera will be at the top of the vertically aligned camera module, followed by the dual LED flash and the periscope telephoto camera. The leaked images indicate that the volume rocker and power button (which doubles as a fingerprint scanner) are located on the right edge of the Sony Xperia 1 VIII. Meanwhile, leaked marketing materials for the Xperia 1 VIII reveal that the handset will sport a display with Sony’s Bravia technology and feature a Sunlight Mode. The handset will pack a 5,000mAh battery, which is claimed to offer up to two days of battery life. According to older reports, the Sony Xperia 1 VIII is expected to debut with a Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC from Qualcomm, paired with 12GB of RAM. The handset is expected to run on Android 15 out of the box. The company will announce the handset at its next launch event that is scheduled for May 13. Sony WH-1000XM6 Launch Date Sony WH-1000XM6 will be unveiled two days after the launch event for the Sony Xperia 1 VII, the company announced on Friday.

3 Stocks That Will Be Worth More Than Palantir Technologies 5 Years From Now 3 Stocks That Will Be Worth More Than Palantir Technologies 5 Years From Now Intuitive Surgical is smaller than Palantir, but could be the ******* winner by the end of the decade. Alibaba could widen its market cap gap with Palantir thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) tailwinds. Google parent Alphabet’s challenges shouldn’t diminish its current huge size advantage over Palantir. 10 stocks we like better than Alibaba Group › Few stocks have sizzled as much as Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) over the last 12 months. Shares of the data analytics software provider more than quadrupled during the *******. Palantir stock is up more than 40% year to date. However, Palantir isn’t anywhere near the top of the list of stocks I think will be the biggest winners for investors over the long run. And some of those stocks could outperform through the rest of this decade, too. I predict three stocks will be worth more than Palantir five years from now. Intuitive Surgical’s (NASDAQ: ISRG) market cap is roughly $70 billion smaller than Palantir’s right now. But I suspect the tables could be turned in the not-too-distant future. Granted, Palantir is growing more rapidly. However, Intuitive Surgical continues to deliver impressive growth, too. The robotic systems pioneer’s revenue jumped 19% year over year in the first quarter of 2025. Procedure volume for Intuitive’s da Vinci robotic systems should increase by 15% to 17% this year. Importantly, Intuitive Surgical looks like a bargain compared to Palantir. Sure, Intuitive’s shares trade at a sky-high forward price-to-earnings ratio of 68. That seems almost cheap, though, when stacked up against Palantir’s nosebleed forward earnings multiple of 196. What I like most about Intuitive Surgical is the high probability of strong future growth. Around 2.7 million procedures were performed using da Vinci last year. Intuitive estimates roughly 8 million procedures are done annually for which it already has products and clearances. The company is targeting approximately 22 million soft-tissue procedures with products and clearances under development. Image source: Intuitive Surgical. Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA) is already somewhat larger than Palantir. Based on the two companies’ recent revenue growth, though, some might think this dynamic could change relatively soon. I predict, though, that Alibaba will widen its market cap gap over Palantir over the next five years. Valuation plays a big factor in my projection. We’ve already seen how mind-blowingly high Palantir’s forward earnings multiple is. Meanwhile, Alibaba’s shares trade at only 12.5 times forward earnings. The company’s growth prospects make its valuation look even more attractive: Alibaba’s price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio based on analysts’ five-year earnings projections is a low 0.71. Story Continues Artificial intelligence (AI) demand could serve as a ******* tailwind for Alibaba than it will for Palantir. Alibaba’s AI-related product revenue has grown by triple-digit percentages for six consecutive quarters. Its cloud business is also directly benefiting from AI. Could my prediction about Alibaba be wrong? Maybe. If it is, the most likely culprit that limits the company’s growth could be the ******** government. However, assuming Alibaba is allowed to meet customers’ needs relatively unfettered, it should remain ******* than Palantir by the end of the decade. You might wonder why Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) is on the list. After all, the tech giant is over 7x ******* than Palantir right now. It seems to be a no-brainer that Alphabet will still be larger in five years. However, I included Alphabet because there’s rampant pessimism about the company. Some have proclaimed that generative AI presents an “existential threat” to Google Search. Google has lost two major antitrust lawsuits. One potential outcome is that the business could be broken up. I don’t buy into the gloom and doom surrounding Alphabet, though. I’m confident that it will continue to thrive despite these challenges. AI, including generative AI, is helping Google a lot more than it’s hurting. Google Cloud’s business is booming as customers develop generative AI apps in the cloud. AI Overviews in Google Search have increased search usage and customer satisfaction. I expect Alphabet’s revenue will grow as it rolls out more agentic AI capabilities. What about the antitrust rulings? Admittedly, they could present problems for Alphabet. However, it will almost certainly take years for a final resolution. Alphabet could ultimately prevail. Even if not, the remedies the company is forced to make might not be too terribly bad. Regardless, I’d rather own shares of Alphabet over the next five years than I would Palantir.

Peter Schiff Rejects Larry Kudlow’s Claim That China Is ‘Falling Apart’ Without US, Says ‘We Have Actually Been Their Worst Customer’ Peter Schiff Rejects Larry Kudlow’s Claim That China Is ‘Falling Apart’ Without US, Says ‘We Have Actually Been Their Worst Customer’ Economist Peter Schiff rejected former White House adviser Larry Kudlow’s assertion that the United States is “China’s best customer,” arguing the roles are reversed as ballooning U.S. debt leaves Beijing financing American consumption. What Happened: “Larry Kudlow said the U.S. is China’s best customer … We have actually been their worst customer, as we can’t pay,” Schiff wrote on X. “Funding us screwed up their economy. They suppressed their own currency and loaned us trillions so we could keep buying.” China still holds about $1 trillion in U.S. Treasuries, though that stash is declining, reports Reuters. Schiff says those loans swelled a roughly $300 billion trade gap and now leave Beijing vulnerable as Washington turns to punitive duties. Don’t Miss: Kudlow, now a Fox Business host, argues tariffs are throttling ******** exports and forcing factories to close. Schiff counters that outright shortages are unlikely; instead, importers will pass higher costs along — an outcome economists observed after the 2018-19 tariff rounds, which lifted consumer prices without crimping supply, reports Reuters. Why It Matters: Schiff repeated recently that tariffs are chasing foreign capital out of U.S. assets and could spark a deeper financial crisis. The clash with Kudlow revives an old debate — now intensifying ahead of a fresh Trump tariff wave — over who ultimately foots the bill for protectionism. Schiff argues that China no longer depends on American shoppers to keep its factories humming, noting that the United States accounts for just “4% of the world’s population.” In an X post, the long-time tariff critic rebuffed claims that Beijing has no alternative buyers, pointing instead to a swelling global middle class that can absorb China’s output even as the U.S. raises import duties. Schiff’s take lands as the U.S. dollar struggles: the greenback sank to a three-year low in mid-April before clawing back a sliver of ground last week. Deutsche Bank analysts called the slide a “simultaneous collapse” across U.S. stocks, bonds and currency, casting the spotlight on broader investor jitters that, in Schiff’s view, tariffs may only deepen.
