Podcast appearances and mentions of Tim Cook

Apple acaba de volver a convertirse en la empresa más valiosa del planeta y todo ocurre justo cuando Tim Cook está a punto de dejar el cargo de CEO.En este episodio repasamos la demanda contra OpenAI, el acuerdo entre Apple e Intel, las inversiones de TSMC en Estados Unidos, los nuevos rumores del iPhone, la expansión de Apple Intelligence, los problemas de iOS 26.6, el aumento de precios de los Mac y el sorprendente cierre de la era Tim Cook.¿Casualidad o un plan que llevaba años construyéndose?

Face à la flambée des prix de la mémoire, Apple cherche de nouvelles marges de manœuvre. Selon le Financial Times, le groupe a commencé à tester les puces DRAM du fabricant chinois ChangXin Memory Technologies, plus connu sous le nom de CXMT. La DRAM est une mémoire vive utilisée dans les smartphones, les ordinateurs et de nombreux appareils électroniques. Apple ne se contente donc plus de discuter avec le fournisseur chinois : l'entreprise aurait engagé une véritable phase de qualification technique. Ces essais doivent déterminer si les composants de CXMT répondent à ses exigences de performance, de fiabilité et de production à grande échelle.Cette évaluation ne signifie pas qu'un contrat a déjà été signé. Elle permet néanmoins à Apple de préparer une solution de remplacement. En cas de pénurie ou de nouvelle hausse des prix, le groupe pourrait mobiliser plus rapidement ce fournisseur, sans devoir reprendre l'ensemble des tests depuis le début. CXMT occupe désormais une place importante sur le marché mondial. L'année dernière, l'entreprise représentait environ 11 % des capacités de production de wafers DRAM, ces grandes plaques de silicium sur lesquelles sont fabriquées les puces. Elle se classait derrière Samsung, SK Hynix et Micron. Sa part pourrait atteindre 15 % d'ici 2028 grâce à de nouvelles usines à Hefei, Shanghai et Pékin.Pour Apple, diversifier ses sources devient d'autant plus stratégique que les prix contractuels de la DRAM standard auraient progressé de 55 à 60 % au début de 2026. Les serveurs dédiés à l'intelligence artificielle absorbent une part croissante des capacités autrefois réservées à l'électronique grand public. Mais le dossier est aussi géopolitique. CXMT figure sur une liste du Pentagone recensant des entreprises soupçonnées de liens avec l'armée chinoise. Cette inscription n'interdit pas aux groupes américains d'acheter ses puces, contrairement au régime plus contraignant appliqué à YMTC, autre fabricant chinois placé sur l'Entity List du département du Commerce.Apple chercherait donc à éviter que CXMT subisse le même sort. Tim Cook aurait défendu auprès de l'administration américaine l'idée d'utiliser ces mémoires uniquement dans les appareils vendus en Chine. Cela permettrait de réserver davantage de composants Samsung, SK Hynix et Micron aux autres marchés. La stratégie rappelle une tentative menée en 2022 avec YMTC, finalement abandonnée sous la pression politique. Cette fois encore, aucun accord n'est garanti. Hébergé par Acast.

Tesla dropped a 216-page impact report, and while most people were expecting a flashy product announcement, what they got was something far more strategic. The Pirate Street Journal team broke down three major themes from the report: privacy, climate, and safety innovation. Viewed through the category design lens, each topic reveals how Tesla is not just building cars but actively designing and dominating an entirely new category of company. Here is what stood out and why it matters beyond the headlines. This Breaking News is brought to you buy the Pirates Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon and Bri Clark on this episode of Pirate Street Journal. Each week, the Category Pirates pick three headlines worth paying attention to and break down the category underneath. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Tesla Is Building Privacy Into Its DNA Tesla has published its privacy principles, promising customers data choices, transparency, and personal data protection. This mirrors the playbook Tim Cook ran at Apple for a decade, turning privacy into a marketing weapon and a category moat. The difference is that Apple’s product can sit in a drawer. Tesla’s product watches the road, monitors the cabin, and tracks your location every mile you drive, making the privacy commitment far more consequential. The deeper lesson here applies to every AI company operating today. As technology becomes more embedded in daily life, through scheduling agents, health monitors, and connected vehicles, trust becomes the foundation everything else is built on. Tesla charging a premium for its vehicles removes the incentive to monetize user data as a commodity, which is exactly the structural choice that creates lasting category leadership.   Tesla Invented the Climate Scoreboard It Now Leads Tesla reported that its customers avoided emitting 37 million metric tons of CO2 in 2025, equivalent to taking roughly 8 million gas-powered cars off the road. What makes this remarkable is not just the number but the fact that Tesla created the metric itself. Legacy automakers do not report avoided emissions because they never built a product that made the concept relevant. Tesla built the scoreboard and then placed itself at the top of it. There is also a broader cultural opportunity emerging here. The environmental conversation has fractured to the extremes, leaving a wide open space for what might be called the sensible environmentalist, someone who wants a strong economy and a cleaner world simultaneously. Tesla, whether intentionally or not, is occupying that center ground by delivering measurable environmental impact through a for-profit, product-driven model that operates within free market principles.   Tesla Is Turning Safety Into Updatable Software Tesla’s airbags deploy up to 70 milliseconds before impact, while conventional airbags deploy roughly 50 milliseconds after impact. That combined gap of 120 milliseconds translates to about six feet of additional protection at highway speeds, potentially reducing crash force by as much as 25 percent. With approximately 36,000 fatal crashes occurring in the United States each year, even a meaningful percentage reduction in fatalities represents billions of dollars in societal value and, more importantly, thousands of lives. What separates Tesla from traditional automakers is that its safety systems are not frozen in place at the factory. Because crash response runs through the same over-the-air update pipeline used for new features, a Tesla can theoretically become safer after purchase. This transforms safety from a fixed specification into a living software product, and it represents one of the clearest examples of how Tesla continues to redefine what a car company can be at a foundational level.

Ben and Tom discuss President Trump looking "very strongly" at Australia's mandatory 12% employer-contribution retirement model as a potential answer to the US entitlement problem, and Apple filing a "thermonuclear" lawsuit alleging that OpenAI systematically poached talent and stole trade secrets in one of Tim Cook's last major moves as CEO — echoing Steve Jobs' 2010 declaration of war against Google over Android.Join our live YouTube stream Monday through Friday at 8:30 AM EST:http://www.youtube.com/@TheMorningMarketBriefingPlease see disclosures:https://www.narwhal.com/disclosure

El viernes pasado Apple presentó ante un tribunal federal de California una demanda contra OpenAI por robo de secretos comerciales. La acusación apunta a dos ex empleados de la compañía de Cupertino, Tang Yew Tan, hoy jefe de hardware de OpenAI y antiguo vicepresidente de diseño del iPhone y el Apple Watch, y Chang Liu, ingeniero eléctrico que pasó más de ocho años en Apple antes de marcharse en enero de este año. Ambos habrían orquestado un plan coordinado para sustraer información confidencial destinada a la incursión de OpenAI en el hardware de consumo. Apple no reprocha que OpenAI fiche a sus ingenieros, algo que es legal, sino que estos se llevaran archivos, planos y piezas físicas. Según la demanda, Tan convertía las entrevistas de trabajo en sesiones de extracción de datos, mencionaba proyectos secretos por su nombre en clave y pedía a los candidatos presentaciones técnicas detalladas e incluso piezas reales de Apple, baterías y placas. Uno de los aspirantes confesó que ignoraba que ese material pudiera sacarse del laboratorio. Liu no devolvió su portátil al marcharse de Apple y aprovechó una vulnerabilidad para seguir accediendo a la nube interna mientras ya cobraba de OpenAI, algo que celebró por escrito entre risas. Apple habla también de un manual de evasión que enseñaba a los empleados que se iban a esquivar los controles de seguridad. Más de 400 antiguos trabajadores de Apple están hoy en OpenAI, un éxodo de dimensiones bíblicas. El hecho es que Apple y OpenAI son socios desde 2024 cuando anunciaron la integración de ChatGPT en Siri. El idilio no duró mucho, se torció cuando OpenAI compró io Products, la startup de Jony Ive, por 6.500 millones de dólares. La verdadera razón de la demanda es que OpenAI prepara una nueva clase de dispositivo que aspira a enterrar al teléfono, no a competir con él. Esto inevitablemente recuerda a 2010, cuando Steve Jobs anticipó una guerra termonuclear contra Android por considerarlo un producto robado. La cuestión es que Apple ha sido acusada tantas veces de apropiarse de ideas ajenas que a muchos les resulta sorprendente que el ladrón se rasgue las vestiduras de un modo tan ruidoso. Pero Apple no está en su mejor momento, se ha demostrado incapaz de desarrollar una IA propia y tiene que depender de otros, ahora de ChatGPT y en el futuro del Gemini de Google. La demanda llega en el peor momento para OpenAI que libra batallas legales en varios frentes. Un juez desestimó el 15 de junio una demanda similar de xAI, precedente que ahora puede utilizar a su favor. El Estado de Florida denunció a la empresa el mes pasado por su comercialización agresiva entre menores, y persisten los casos por derechos de autor con periódicos y autores. El caso supone además una transición simbólica. La demanda ha sido una de las últimas decisiones de Tim Cook antes de ceder el mando a John Ternus. Cook se despide lanzando un misil contra un socio convertido en rival. Los pleitos pueden entorpecer al enemigo, pero las guerras se ganan con productos, y ahí Apple lleva tiempo tropezando frente a quien no quiere un teléfono mejor, sino un mundo donde el teléfono ya no haga falta.

Apple is escalating its fight with OpenAI as questions grow over trade secrets, AI hardware, and whether the next generation of devices could threaten the iPhone's dominance.Chuck Zodda and Mike Armstrong break down Apple's lawsuit against OpenAI, why the timing matters as Tim Cook prepares to step aside, and how OpenAI's delayed IPO could make the company more vulnerable. They also discuss warnings from economists about AI-driven job losses, why retraining programs may struggle to keep up, how the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is being strained by repeated drawdowns, what renewed pressure on oil supplies could mean for energy security, and why Disney's live-action remake strategy may be running out of steam.

In this episode, Ray Cochrane breaks down AI distillation, the teacher-student technique frontier labs now lean on to train smaller, cheaper models. He also covers GPT-5.6’s government-vetted rollout, Claude Sonnet 5 landing on AWS, Maryland’s two-year data center pause, and Microsoft’s climbing carbon numbers. Finally, he wraps with Apple’s $30 billion Broadcom deal, Meta’s tamper-proof recording light, Michigan’s parasite outbreak, and a simulation that erased a super El Niño. – Want to start a podcast?

Longer days have him outdoors, including a float trip on the Sandy River at Dabney State Park, where he found clearer water, clay-like sand, and easy footing. Next week brings both a move and a trip home, so he is stocking up on Trader Joe’s “Power Berries” and IKEA bags at his mom’s request. Then he turns to the lead story. AI Distillation Explained: How Frontier Models Teach Each Other Cochrane’s featured story comes from Hugging Face engineer Sergio Paniego. Distillation is teacher-student training for AI: a capable model generates the training signal, and a smaller student learns to match it. The classic off-policy version compresses giant models into cheap students, either through soft labels or piles of worked answers. Google’s Gemma models and DeepSeek’s R1-Distill line were built exactly this way. However, the industry is now converging on multi-teacher on-policy distillation, or MOPD. Labs build reinforcement-learning specialists for math, coding, and agentic work, then have them grade a single student, word by word, as the student generates its own answers. DeepSeek-V4, MiMo-V2-Flash, and NVIDIA’s Nemotron 3 Ultra all run versions of the recipe, and the Qwen3 team reported better results at roughly a tenth of the GPU hours of raw reinforcement learning. Finally, self-distillation lets models like Cursor’s Composer 2.5 learn from better-prompted versions of themselves.

GPT-5.6 Arrives With a Government-Vetted Rollout OpenAI shipped GPT-5.6 as a three-tier family: Sol, Terra, and Luna. Sol costs five dollars in and thirty dollars out per million tokens, half of Claude Fable 5’s rate. The benchmarks split: Sol Ultra wins Terminal-Bench at 91.9 percent, while Claude Fable 5 still leads SWE-Bench Pro. Notably, the API launched in limited preview to roughly 20 partners vetted by the U.S. government, though the model went live in Microsoft 365 Copilot on day one. Claude Sonnet 5 Lands on AWS, Plus Quick AWS Wins Claude Sonnet 5 arrived on AWS through Bedrock, pitched as top-tier intelligence at Sonnet pricing. Additionally, Amazon WorkSpaces for AI agents reached general availability, enabling agents to drive full desktop applications securely. OpenSearch gained a log-analytics engine claiming four times the price-performance, and SageMaker now scales inference about twice as fast. Cochrane also flags that Kendra and Q Business move to maintenance mode at the end of July. Anthropic Wants You to Reflect on Your Claude Habits Anthropic launched Reflect, a beta feature that analyzes your past Claude conversations and visualizes how you actually use the assistant. It requires Memory, excludes incognito and health-related chats, and keeps its insights inside the tool. Cochrane loves the idea. He reviews his own transcripts to extract prompt patterns and turn them into reusable skills, and he suggests listeners simply ask their AI to do the same. AlphaEvolve Goes GA on Google Cloud Google made AlphaEvolve generally available to Google Cloud customers on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. The agent acts as an evolutionary collaborator: provide a baseline algorithm and your goals, and it searches for better, human-readable code. BASF, JetBrains, and Kinaxis are the named early adopters. Meanwhile, Cochrane renews his standing wish that DeepMind release AlphaGo as a playable teacher. Google Adds “How This Ad Was Made” AI Labels Google is adding a “How this ad was made” section to My Ad Center across Search, YouTube, and Discover. Ads built with Google’s own AI tools automatically get the disclosure, backed by invisible watermarks. However, ads made with outside tools rely on advertiser self-declaration. Cochrane points out the limits of voluntary disclosure in an AI-flooded content economy. Microsoft’s Carbon Emissions Climb 25 Percent Microsoft’s new sustainability report shows emissions up 25% in 2025, driven by a data center construction spree. The gross figure is 34 million metric tons before offsets, while other coverage puts the net figure at around 20 million. Water consumption also jumped thirty-four percent, even as Microsoft claims its first water-positive year. Cochrane argues regulation needs to catch up, since Google and Amazon report similar increases. Prince George’s County Pauses Data Centers for Two Years Prince George’s County adopted a two-year moratorium on new data center development, the longest pause in Maryland so far. The resolution blocks new applications, including hyperscale projects, until the council passes real regulations. Water and energy impacts remain open questions the county intends to study. Cochrane gives kudos to residents for making their voices heard. Apple and Broadcom Ink a $30 Billion U.S. Chip Deal Apple is expanding its partnership with Broadcom with a multiyear agreement expected to exceed $30 billion. The deal covers custom silicon and wireless components, with more than fifteen billion chips to be made on American soil. Broadcom’s Fort Collins, Colorado plant anchors the work with a $1.5 billion equipment expansion. Tim Cook framed the deal as accelerating Apple’s commitment to American manufacturing. MSI and Intel Ship the First Arc G3 Extreme Handheld Intel detailed how it co-engineered the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+, the first handheld on the Arc G3 Extreme processor. Highlights include a heat-spreading board layout and game-tuning loops that Intel says run Cyberpunk 2077 up to thirty-seven percent faster. The device is on sale now in void purple for around $1,500. At that price, Cochrane jokes he would rather buy a computer. Meta’s Glasses Get a Tamper-Proof Recording Light Meta answered the most common privacy questions about its AI glasses. Photos stay private on the device until the wearer imports or shares them, and a white capture LED blinks during any recording with no off switch. Moreover, newer glasses disable the camera if the LED is blocked, tampered with, or destroyed. Cochrane reminds listeners these claims are Meta grading its own homework, but the blink signal is worth recognizing in public. Michigan’s Parasite Outbreak Tops 1,200 Cases Michigan’s cyclosporiasis outbreak reached 1,251 cases since June 22, with roughly forty hospitalizations along the way. Northwest Ohio adds more than five hundred cases. The parasite typically spreads through contaminated fresh produce, and investigators still have not found the source. Cochrane’s advice: wash your produce, and get tested if your symptoms fit. AI Finds the San Andreas Fault’s Silent Slips Researchers paired AI with borehole strainmeters to detect dozens of hidden slow-slip events beneath the San Andreas Fault’s Parkfield section. Each silent slip releases stress within hours and is reliably followed by low-frequency earthquakes. Together, the findings support a continuous spectrum from silent creep to destructive quakes. The study appears in Nature Communications, and Cochrane hopes it will lead to better earthquake prediction. Cloud Brightening Erased a Super El Niño, in a Simulation Finally, a Science Advances study simulated marine cloud brightening in response to the 1997 and 2015 super El Niño events. Seeding clouds over the eastern Pacific erased the events entirely inside the model. Real deployment would take roughly 2,400 ships spraying continuously, and the simulations showed side effects like extra warming over Europe and Asia. Cochrane finds the weather-machine concept fascinating, yet he questions the consequences of altering cycles the planet runs for a reason.

In 2001, with Apple struggling and its stock tanking, Steve Jobs told his board and executive team they were opening retail stores. Every person in the room thought he was crazy. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy uses that lonely decision to expose what really separates a visionary founder from a great CEO. Drawing on Michael Porter, Best Buy's Hubert Joly, and Tim Cook's own definition of the role, Darren breaks down the four jobs of a CEO, strategy, leadership team, culture, and capital allocation, and reveals the one most entrepreneurs are weakest at.

Unilever ziet een van zijn grote aandeelhouders weglopen. Een die al meer dan 15 jaar trouw was aan het bedrijf. Het gaat om fondsbeheerder Terry Smith. Die hard uithaalt naar de directie. Tegen de Financial Times zegt hij misleid te zijn door de directie. Unilever beloofde hem (net na de afsplitsing van de ijstak in 2025) geen grote onderdelen meer te verkopen. Maar ze deden het toch. De voedingstak ging eruit. Volgens Smith neemt niet de directie de grote beslissingen, maar activistische aandeelhouder Nelson Peltz. Hij zou achter de schermen de touwtjes in handen hebben. Deze aflevering kijken we wat dat voor jou als beleggers betekent. Is het nu een voordeel of toch een nadeel? Gaat het ook weer over het bezoek van handelsminister Sjoerd Sjoerdsma aan China. Hij was zelf optimistisch over zijn bezoek, maar daar denkt zijn Chinese college toch anders over. Hij zet Sjoerdsma gelijk aan het werk. Het is ook de aflevering waarin we het meerdere keren over Apple hebben. Het gaat over een Chinese chip die ze in China aan het testen zijn. In eigen land pleasen ze ondertussen het Witte Huis met een andere deal.

(00:00:00) Il riscatto dell'Europa: il chip Apple C2 debutta da noi (00:00:18) Prosegue il viaggio nei 630 GB di leak di Tata Electronics (00:02:30) Il mercato dei chip e lo spettro dei rincari fino al 2028 (00:05:47) Il successo di Apple Silicon e la roadmap dei 3 nanometri (00:08:59) Il modulo C2: la connettività diventa un affare di Stato a Cupertino (00:14:31) L'ironico paradosso: perché l'Europa batte gli Stati Uniti sul 5G proprietario (00:19:10) La fisica della batteria: milliamperora, eSIM e l'ottimizzazione del segnale (00:22:55) iPad mini OLED e MacBook Ultra: il C2 ridisegna i consumi dell'ecosistema (00:27:25) Starlink, Revolut Mobile e l'utopia di un'Apple senza più roaming (00:32:23) Unificare le linee produttive: la sfida finale di Tim Cook prima dell'addio In questo nuovo capitolo dedicato alla mastodontica fuga di notizie di Tata Electronics, spostiamo la lente d'ingrandimento lontano dalla potenza pura del chip A20 per concentrarci sulla vera colonna portante del futuro di Apple: la connettività. Con una mossa che ha del paradossale e dell'ironico, i documenti svelano che i veri flagship europei di iPhone 18 Pro e Pro Max monteranno in anteprima mondiale il nuovo modem proprietario C2, lasciando il mercato americano temporaneamente ancorato alle vecchie antenne Qualcomm per via delle onde millimetriche. Analizziamo l'impatto di un chip di rete che non è più un elemento isolato ma dialoga a bassissima latenza con il silicio principale, i sogni di un'autonomia stravolta dalla rimozione fisica della SIM e la transizione globale verso la connettività satellitare di massa, in attesa del debutto autunnale su iPad mini OLED e sul proibitivo MacBook Ultra.Visita Digiteee e scopri tutte le notizie sulla tecnologiaSegui Digiteee su TikTokDimmi la tua su Twitter, su Threads, su Telegram, su Mastodon, su BlueSky o su Instagram.Mail jacoporeale@yahoo.it Scopri dove ascoltare il podcast e lascia una recensione su Apple Podcast o Spotify.Ascolta An iPad guy su YouTube Podcast.Supporta il podcast

DR1THINGS WE MISSEDThe meritocracy is still a lie: ‘Don't look at the résumé': Elon Musk admits he's ‘fallen prey' to flashy credentials and says conversation matters most when hiring“Generally, what I tell people—I tell myself, I guess, aspirationally—is, don't look at the résumé,” he said. “Just believe your interaction. The résumé may seem very impressive…but if the conversation after 20 minutes is not ‘Wow,' you should believe the conversation, not the paper.”“I think goodness of heart is important.”Four Black women. Nine degrees. Not one steady paycheck.The president promised to save “Black jobs,” but his policies have resulted in fresh pain for the Black middle class as the employment gap widens.Study: Women are more likely to get hired after taking GLP-1sZuck still sucks: Mark Zuckerberg Sure Sounds Eager to Get Young People Hooked on Online GamblingThe Meta CEO is developing a social network betting market app—and wants help from Polymarket and Kalshi.Starbucks “Actively Reassessing” 2030 Climate GoalStarbucks initially unveiled its climate goal in 2020, targeting a 50% reduction in Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2030, on a 2019 basis.While the company's impact report indicates that it has succeeded in cutting operational emissions, with Scope 1 and 2 falling 17% since 2019, wider value chain emissions have continued to climb, with Scope 3 rising by 8% since 2019. With Scope 3 accounting for over 90% of overall emissions, Starbucks has seen its GHG footprint grow by 7% overall since 2019.The reassessment of the goal comes as the company takes “a fresh, comprehensive look at our sustainability goals,” according to a blog post by Starbucks' Chief Sustainability and Social Impact Officer Kelly Goodejohn, as part of the company's ‘Back to Starbucks' strategy initiated by CEO Brain Niccol. From the Impact Report:Overall Grants from the Starbucks FoundationFY25 $13.6M ($31M)FY24 $21.4M ($96M)Delaware Court of Chancery Interprets New Section 144 and Applies Heightened Presumption of Director IndependenceThe Opinion arose in a common context in Delaware stockholder litigation: claims over director and management compensation. In the decision, Vice Chancellor Lori W. Will applied, for the first time, the statute's heightened presumption of independence for directors of public companies determined by the board to be independent under the relevant NYSE or Nasdaq listing standards to dismiss derivative claims on demand futility grounds.In conducting the demand futility analysis, which looks to whether a majority of the board can independently consider a stockholder demand to bring derivative litigation, the Court reasoned that the new statutory language requiring a plaintiff to plead “substantial and particularized facts” to rebut the “heightened” presumption of independence sets a higher bar than under pre-existing law. Specifically, the Court held that the addition of “substantial” to the existing standard that already required particularized facts meant that “a plaintiff must plead specific, non-conclusory facts of sufficient qualitative significance to support a reasonable inference of a material interest or relationship that would impair the director's objective judgment.” The Court was clear that it is not a matter of quantity but rather quality, observing that “a collection of trivial facts” will not rise to the level of materiality required to satisfy this “heightened” standard. Applying that standard to the facts in the case, the Court concluded that the plaintiff's allegations of various overlapping board positions, overlapping investments, and other “business ties” with the company's founder and non-executive chairman were not sufficiently material.DR2The Boardroom Buy-InThe Taser CEO Who Says AI Is the Future of PolicingTaser and body-cam king Rick Smith is betting Axon's dominance—and his own pay package—on his tech-driven vision66% influenceRick Smith: Every 30 seconds one of his Tasers is fired by somebody in the U.S., usually a police officer.The pay package he and his board put together catapulted him to the top of last year's list of the highest-paid CEOs, with a compensation package valued at $164.4 million.33% no 2025; 10% no 2026Smith has already hit three of seven goals. At the end of 2025, Axon estimated the shares underlying the full award could be worth nearly $386 million.IN: Not a dictatorshipOne share one voteBlackRock 9.3%The Vanguard Group 11.6%Patrick Smith 3.5 %OUT: Patrick Smith 66% influence MMWith Chair Michael Garnreiter (2006-); sits on Audit, Compensation Committee, and Nominating committeesCompensation Committee chair Hadi Partovi (2010-): Smith (‘91) and Partovi (‘94) both members of the Theta Eta chapter of Sigma Chi at HarvardOUT: Patrick Smith ignores his board: In the wake of the tragic 2022 school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, Smith announced that Axon would begin developing Taser-equipped drones that could fly into classrooms to incapacitate active shooters.This decision was made unilaterally, bypassing Axon's own independent AI Ethics Board.The board issued a rare, public rebuke of Smith, accusing him of "trading on the tragedy" of school shootings to push a dangerous idea.Consequently, 9 of the 12 ethics board members resigned in protest, citing a total loss of faith in Axon's ability to act responsibly.Smith was forced to publicly back down and pause the project. IN: The CEO Performance award was specifically voted on in 2024 and passed, barely, but it passed: 50.1% yesNintendo Boss to Give Sweeping 10% Salary Raise to Retain EmployeesWhile most of the players in the gaming industry continue to hemorrhage jobs, Nintendo is opting to take a different path. The Kyoto-based gaming giant has recently announced a 10% increase to base salaries for its employees, a move that highlights its commitment to talent retention while everyone else is laying off employees.Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa made the announcement during a recent shareholder meeting, emphasising that maintaining competitive compensation is central to the company's strategy. The raise applies to the company's workforce, which has grown to over 8,200 employees, the highest headcount in Nintendo's history.IN: CEO Shuntaro Furukawa's (18%) annual executive compensation at Nintendo generally totals around $2.5MOUT: 63% of shares held by institutional investors. What the hell do these suits know about video games? IN: Of six outside directors, 3 are women (20% average in Japan)IN: Because they literally have questions like this at their annual meeting, in fact it was the first one: “With the release of Splatoon Raiders approaching, how does Nintendo evaluate the previous title, Splatoon 3? Some players experienced communication errors and discrepancies in hit detection in that title. I feel that Nintendo's response to these issues may not have been consistent with “sincerity,” one of the values in the Nintendo DNA.”Copart CEO Jeff Liaw to step down, Jay Adair to returnCEO Jeff Liaw will step down from his position and leave the board of directors effective July 31, 2026.Executive Chairman Jay Adair to resume the CEO role on the same date.

The department issued a technical release in April warning that proxy advisory firms may be subject to ERISA fiduciary standards and that proxy voting is a fiduciary act under the law that must be carried out “for the exclusive purpose of maximizing risk-adjusted return.”From the technical release in April: The Department has long recognized that voting rights and other shareholder rights attributable to shares held by ERISA-governed employee benefit plans are plan assets in their own right. Accordingly, management of those rights is subject to ERISA's fiduciary duties, including the duties of prudence and loyalty. The Department first issued guidance on this topic in the 1980s. For example, a 1988 letter (Avon Letter) noted that “it is the Department's position that the decision as to how proxies should be voted . . . are fiduciary acts of plan asset management.”(2)Proxy advisory firms may also be functional fiduciaries under ERISA section 3(21)(A)(ii) by providing investment advice for a fee to plans with respect to property of that plan.Here's why it's interesting:Defining fiduciaries as those who provide advice for a fee means everyone selling research is a fiduciary if the research is used in an investment decisionThe DOL is squarely defining proxy voting as a fiduciary act - which means that there can be no rational apathy as Mike Levin likes to talk about - if voting your proxies is definitionally your fiduciary duty, you can't defer it or ignore itIf you vote 99% in favor of management, you definitionally are ignoring your fiduciary duty - half of companies will underperform some peer set, meaning they produced fewer returns than peers, in any given year. So you either set the time frame longer (thus forcing the inclusion of long term data like climate and social factors) and say that in any one year it makes sense to vote with management to allow them time to execute strategy, OR you should be voting against nearly half of management proposals for underperformers each year because they are not producing pecuniary returnsGovernance chairs remain under pressure as investor scrutiny rises despite rising support for directors, research showsISS found that the MEDIAN support for directors has hit 98%They found that governance/nom chairs (those are specifically governance/nom committee chairs) had median support of 94.1%Pay chairs had 96.9% supportMM2The Boardroom Buy-InJPMorgan built a pipeline of female CEO candidates that was the envy of Wall Street.

Sam Altman, grote roerganger van Open AI, heeft wel een hele bijzondere manier gevonden om de Amerikaanse regering te paaien. Hij wil 5 procent van de aandelen afstaan. Met die miljardengift wil Open AI de onvoorwaardelijke steun van Trump en consorten krijgen. Apple gooit het dan weer over een hele andere boeg. Dat heeft zo'n last van de chiptekorten dat het uitwijkt naar China. Het wil chips kopen van bedrijven die op de zware lijst van de VS staan. Apple zegt dat het niet anders kan, want anders moeten de prijzen nóg verder omhoog. Deze aflevering hebben we het over die wanhoopsdaden. Wat zegt dit over Open AI (dat binnenkort naar de beurs wil) en wat zegt dit over de huidige status van Apple, dat ook nog even vijf nieuwe iPhones wil introduceren. Over introduceren gesproken: de Frans-Duitse tankbouwer KNDS wordt toch niet geïntroduceerd op de Franse en Duitse beurs. De beursgang is van de baan! Door toedoen van de Duitse regering, blijkt nu. Ook in dit beurstheater: Tesla verkoopt veel meer dan verwacht (25 procent) maar wordt gedumpt In China gaat een beursbedrijf 150 procent omhoog op eerste beursdag De VEB verliest een belangrijke bondgenoot in de OCI-soap Google moet een miljardenboete betalen Te gast: Han Dieperink, CIO bij Aureus BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo.

Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij.

Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad.

Apple vuelve a estar en el centro de la polémica. La crisis de memorias, la presión sobre proveedores chinos, las restricciones políticas de Estados Unidos y los nuevos rumores del iPhone 18 Pro y del posible iPhone Ultra plegable están formando una tormenta perfecta.En este episodio de APPLEaks, analizamos por qué Apple podría estar preparando una subida de precios mucho más grande de lo esperado, qué papel juega Tim Cook en esta estrategia y por qué algunos aumentos parecen ir mucho más allá del impacto real de los componentes.También hablamos del futuro del iPhone 18 Pro, sus posibles mejoras internas, el nuevo sistema térmico, el procesador de 2 nanómetros, las cámaras con apertura variable y el precio que podría empezar hasta 200 dólares más arriba.Además, repasamos el estado del iPhone Ultra plegable, su posible llegada en septiembre y el riesgo de que sea uno de los productos más caros de la historia reciente de Apple. Y como si eso fuera poco, Apple acaba de perder a una figura clave detrás del Vision Pro y las futuras gafas inteligentes, que se va a OpenAI. Una noticia que puede impactar directamente en la estrategia de realidad aumentada e inteligencia artificial de la compañía.¿Apple está subiendo precios por necesidad real o está usando la crisis para forzar una solución política?Te cuento mi análisis completo.00:00 Intro: Apple y una crisis que se complica00:59 La crisis de memorias y el impacto en los precios02:19 ¿Apple está buscando una solución política?05:36 Vision Pro, gafas inteligentes y una salida clave hacia OpenAI06:48 iPhone 18 Pro: rumores, mejoras y subida de precio08:10 iPhone Ultra plegable: producción, precio y dudas09:08 ¿Perderá valor el iPhone plegable como los Samsung y Pixel?10:00 El cierre: ventas, precios y el futuro de Apple.Apple, iPhone 18, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone Ultra, Apple Leaks, Tim Cook, subida precios Apple, iPhone plegable, Apple Vision Pro, OpenAI, memorias iPhone, crisis Apple, iPhone 2026, rumores Apple, Apple Intelligence, Apple gafas inteligentes, idearVlog, APPLEaks #Apple #iPhone18 #iPhoneUltra #TimCook #APPLEaks #iPhonePlegable #AppleVisionPro #OpenAI #AppleLeaks #idearVlog

Tim Cook announced pretty significant price increases to Apple's hardware line this week. The increases came because of component shortages that have been happening for the past few months. Apple is moving its Hide My Email feature to its own subdomain, which means that businesses can block all attempts to sign-up for a service by blocking the new subdomain. Seems odd Apple would do this. Dave and I also chat about AI and what could happen with Apple Music.  Brought to you by: nordLayer: Get an exclusive offer: up to 22% off NordLayer yearly plans plus 10% on top with the coupon code: DALRYMPLE10.

A structural repricing of memory and silicon components is forcing a shift in the economics of hardware resale for managed service providers (MSPs) and IT service providers. This shift is driven by concentrated demand for memory components from AI infrastructure build-outs, as evidenced by data from IDC and remarks from companies including Apple, Micron, SK Hynix, and Samsung. The episode highlights that memory costs have quadrupled in a year, and that both endpoint devices and servers are experiencing durable price inflation due to component scarcity and intensified competition for supply. The most consequential development cited is Apple's acknowledgment—confirmed by Tim Cook to the Wall Street Journal—that device price increases are now “unavoidable” because the cost of memory can no longer be absorbed. Memory manufacturers' share prices rallied on this signal, reinforcing an investor consensus that higher component costs will persist. IDC data showed AI-focused, non-x86 servers using Nvidia's ARM chips generated $58.7 billion—or nearly 48% of all server revenue—up 107% year over year, while x86 server revenue declined due to DRAM and NAND shortages. This dynamic indicates that AI infrastructure is bidding up component costs at the expense of standard business hardware. Secondary developments further reinforce this mechanism. The market's response to U.S. government announcements regarding Intel chip capacity expansion demonstrates that relief from the silicon crunch remains years away, not months. Channel partners—according to industry reporting—were already pivoting from hardware resale to services prior to these price shocks, with thinning hardware margins preceding the current pressure. The combination of fixed-fee hardware contracts and rising component costs now places providers in a position where they are “short silicon,” having unknowingly absorbed inflation risk they cannot pass on under existing contractual terms. For MSPs and IT leaders, the principal operational implications center on contract structure, exposure to component price volatility, and diminished hardware margins. Providers with fixed monthly agreements or hardware-as-a-service contracts based on last year's component costs are at an increasing risk of margin erosion, as their ability to reprice is contractually limited. Practical mitigation steps include auditing all fixed-fee agreements for exposure, amending contracts to include component index or price adjustment clauses, and separating hardware as a transparent, pass-through line item. Failing to adapt contract terms or refresh timing may compound both financial risk and the security profile of client endpoints. 00:00 Not the Tokens  03:31 An Auction for the Parts 05:46 Short Silicon 07:44 Why Do We Care?   Supported by: Pax8 ScalePad    Sign up for the SMB Online Conference: www.smbonlineconference.com
