US Top News and Analysis | Apple delivers a nearly perfect quarter, with a CEO change and an AI update ahead AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Apple reported a record‑breaking fiscal‑2026 second quarter, with revenue climbing 17% to $111.2 billion and earnings per share jumping 22% to $2.01—both well ahead of expectations—propelling the stock up roughly 4% to about $282 in after‑hours trading. The company saw double‑digit growth across every product line, highlighted by a near‑22% surge in iPhone sales that set a March‑quarter record, and a services segment that grew over 16% on an all‑time‑high installed base of more than 2.5 billion active devices. Tim Cook announced his departure as CEO, confirming that Jon Ternus will assume the role in September, while Cook will move to executive chairman. Apple also disclosed a new $100 billion share‑repurchase program, a 4% dividend increase, and a partnership with Google to advance its Siri AI initiative. Management guided for the June quarter (fiscal Q3) revenue of $107.2‑$110 billion—up 14‑17% year‑over‑year—well above consensus, and reiterated a $300 price target, positioning Apple as a long‑term hold despite headwinds such as memory costs.

So much for Android being 'Open' Starting September 2026, #Google will require every #Android app developer to register centrally, provide government ID, and submit signing keys. Apps from unregistered developers will be blocked on all certified devices worldwide. This threatens F-Droid, open-source distribution, and user autonomy. @keepandroidopen@techhub.social #KeepAndroidOpen https://keepandroidopen.org

US Top News and Analysis | Google cloud growth tops Microsoft and Amazon as all three beat estimates on AI demand AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. In the first quarter, the three leading cloud providers all surpassed analyst expectations, with Google posting the most striking growth—its cloud revenue jumped 63% to $20.03 billion, the fastest expansion since the segment was separated in 2020. Amazon Web Services saw a 28% increase to $37.6 billion, while Microsoft’s Azure and other cloud services rose 40%, beating estimates. The surge is driven by soaring demand for artificial‑intelligence models and services, as Google pushes its Gemini AI and tensor‑processing units, Amazon expands its Bedrock AI platform, and Microsoft reports a doubling of customers using Anthropic and OpenAI models. Together, the trio expects to spend nearly $600 billion on capital expenditures this year, even as smaller “neocloud” players capture about 5% of the market.

US Top News and Analysis | Apple eyes iPhone growth in first earnings report since Tim Cook's announced exit AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Apple reported its fiscal second‑quarter results, marking the first earnings release since the announcement that CEO Tim Cook will step down after 15 years. Analysts anticipate a 15 % year‑over‑year revenue increase to $109.7 billion, driven primarily by a projected 20 % jump in iPhone sales to $56.7 billion, aided by the popularity of the iPhone 17. The company also expects $8.16 billion in Mac revenue, $6.71 billion from iPad sales, $7.8 billion in wearables, home and accessories, and $30.4 billion from services, with a gross margin of 48.4 % and EPS of $1.95. Investors are focused on incoming CEO John Ternus’s plans for Apple’s artificial‑intelligence strategy after the firm announced a partnership with Google’s Gemini model for Siri, as well as how Apple will address the global memory‑price crunch affecting its devices, a concern that analysts say appears under control so far.

US Top News and Analysis | Five 'Magnificent Seven' names will post earnings before the week ends. Levels to watch AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article reviews the upcoming earnings reports of the five “Magnificent Seven” megacap growth stocks and examines what their chart patterns suggest for the near‑term market. It notes that the MAGS ETF, which tracks these large‑cap growth names, has rebounded sharply from March lows but has yet to break new highs, hovering near its 200‑day moving average and showing a potential inverse head‑and‑shoulders formation. Relative strength is evident as MAGS has outperformed the S&P 500 in recent weeks, and historic pullbacks have typically been followed by multi‑month rallies that restored the ETF to prior relative highs. Among the individual components, Google (GOOGL) and Nvidia (NVDA) have outperformed the ETF dramatically over the past year, while the other holdings have lagged, dragging overall performance. The piece concludes that a positive earnings response from the lagging stocks, combined with continued strength from the leaders, could revitalize the broader large‑cap growth complex, though investors should watch for overbought conditions and potential price ceilings.

qwant news | Google reportedly signs classified AI deal with US Pentagon AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Google has reportedly signed a contract with the U.S. Pentagon that allows the military to use the company’s artificial‑intelligence models for “any lawful government purpose,” including classified work such as mission planning and weapons targeting. The deal, similar to agreements already in place with OpenAI, Anthropic and Elon Musk’s xAI, requires Google to adjust its AI safety settings at the government’s request but expressly bars the technology from domestic mass surveillance or autonomous weapons without human oversight. While Google’s spokesperson says the agreement reflects a responsible approach to national‑security needs, more than 600 employees have signed an open letter urging CEO Sundar Pichai to refuse providing AI for classified workloads, citing concerns that their work could be used in inhumane or harmful ways; the controversy revives past employee protests that led Google to back away from earlier Pentagon projects such as Project Maven.

The Guardian | Google reportedly signs classified AI deal with US Pentagon by Sanya Mansoor and agencies AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Google has reportedly signed a classified‑use agreement with the U.S. Pentagon that allows the military to employ the company’s artificial‑intelligence models for any lawful government purpose, joining other Silicon Valley firms such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Elon Musk’s xAI. The contract, worth up to $200 million, requires Google to adjust AI safety settings at the Pentagon’s request but specifies that the technology must not be used for domestic mass surveillance or autonomous weapons without human oversight, and Google does not retain veto power over lawful operational decisions. The deal has sparked significant employee backlash, with more than 600 staff signing an open letter urging CEO Sundar Pichai to refuse providing AI for classified workloads, recalling earlier protests that led Google to drop the Project Maven contract in 2018.

qwant news | Mark Zuckerberg's Meta to power AI data centres from space in 'transformative' move AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Meta is partnering with Overview Energy to launch 1,000 solar‑panel‑equipped satellites that will collect sunlight in space and beam the converted energy back to Earth as low‑intensity infrared, providing up to one gigawatt—enough to power roughly 750,000 homes—for its AI data centres. The plan, announced by Meta’s Vice President of Energy Nat Sahlstrom, aims to supply clean, reliable power without stressing U.S. electricity grids, with a demonstration satellite slated for launch in 2028 and commercial power generation beginning around 2030. Similar space‑solar initiatives are also being pursued by SpaceX, Blue Origin and Google.

It's not suspicious at all that #Gmail is marking as spam the notifications people were sent about a class action settlement for which #Google is the defendant and liable to pay out proceeds. One would have thought the plaintiffs' lawyers would have included as a condition of the settlement Google's obligation to ensure that the email notifications did not get marked as spam. #PSA If you're an #Android user and you didn't get a notice a few weeks ago, check your Gmail spam folder. #classAction

#Google #AI Overviews are so damned stupid they can't even get a basic fact from an uber-popular new film correct [Project Hail Mary]. Because, duh, Rocky isn't injured by ammonia exposure, "he" BREATHES AMMONIA and is harmed by Earth-atmosphere. Just a movie, but about 1/10 of all Google AI Overview answers are reportedly WRONG -- tens of millions of wrong answers EVERY HOUR.
