On today's show we look at some AppleTV and Home announcements from the Apple WWDC and look at what that fuss is about the new Sony's True RGB TVs. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Households Used More Than 10 Video Services Daily Google Rolls Out a Major Update to Its Google TV Streamer 4k Apple TV from Apple's WWDC 2026 Key takeaways for Apple TV from Apple's WWDC 2026 are relatively modest and software-focused, as the event emphasized iOS 27. tvOS 27 Highlights for Apple TV Larger Text / System-Wide Text Size Adjustment: A new accessibility option lets users increase on-screen text size across supported apps and the interface. AI-Generated / On-Device Subtitles: tvOS 27 adds real-time automatic subtitle generation for videos lacking built-in captions (including personal content).  Other Refinements: Expect Liquid Glass UI polish, performance/stability improvements, smarter recommendations, and better smart home/HomeKit ties. Siri upgrades (more conversational, on-screen awareness) should improve voice control on Apple TV, though full Apple Intelligence features may wait for new hardware. tvOS 27 developer betas are available now post-keynote, with public release expected in fall 2026 alongside other OS updates. As far as the Apple Home app goes, updates  mainly dealt with Apple Intelligence integration for smarter camera handling and notifications: The Home app now uses Apple Intelligence to generate natural language descriptions of compatible camera footage, letting you search clips conversationally by saying something like,  "show me when the dog was in the backyard" Smarter batched notifications that feel less overwhelming. Alerts are intelligently grouped and dynamic instead of constant floods. Accessory updates update in real-time as conditions change. With deeper Siri AI and Shortcuts integration you can describe automations in natural language and let Siri build them (including Home shortcuts). Voice control becomes more conversational and context-aware. Hardware Notes No new Apple TV 4K hardware was announced at WWDC (consistent with expectations). A refreshed model with A17 Pro (or similar) for full Apple Intelligence/Siri 2.0 support, better smart home capabilities, and possibly Wi-Fi 7 has been "ready for months" but is being held for later in 2026 to align with the advanced AI features. What is Sony's True RGB TV All About? Sony's True RGB is Sony's marketing name for their advanced RGB Mini-LED backlight technology, introduced in 2026 for high-end BRAVIA TVs the BRAVIA 9 II and BRAVIA 7 II series. How True RGB Works Traditional Mini-LED or QLED TVs typically use white or blue LEDs as the backlight, then pass that light through color filters or Quantum Dots to create colors. This filtering process can reduce color purity, brightness, and efficiency. Sony's True RGB technology takes a different approach by using tiny independent red, green, and blue (RGB) LEDs in the backlight, with each color LED controllable separately across thousands or even millions of local dimming zones, generating color directly at the light source before it reaches the LCD layer rather than filtering white light. Sony's True RGB technology delivers purer and more accurate colors with a significantly wider color volume and gamut, higher peak brightness while maintaining excellent color accuracy, superior contrast and black levels that can challenge OLED performance in certain scenarios, improved energy efficiency through smart power distribution algorithms that use less power than previous generations, and outstanding off-angle viewing with minimal color shift. Key Advantages Sony Highlights Sony's True RGB technology delivers true-to-source color accuracy, backed by the company's deep professional monitor expertise and decades of innovation in RGB technology dating back to the groundbreaking 2004 QUALIA series. This is powered by advanced RGB Backlight Master Drive processing that expertly manages the immense complexity of controlling millions of individual colored diodes in real time. Overall, it successfully combines the best of Mini-LED brightness with near-OLED levels of color performance and contrast. In short, True RGB is Sony's premium implementation of direct RGB Mini-LED backlighting. Sony emphasizes not just the hardware (RGB LEDs), but their proprietary optical design, drivers, and image processing to make it perform better than competing RGB LED TVs from other brands. Sony True RGB Models with Pricing (2026 Lineup) Prices are MSRP/launch pricing (as of mid-2026; actual street prices and sales vary by retailer like Best Buy, Crutchfield, or Sony's site). Larger sizes command big premiums. BRAVIA 7 II - more accessible entry into True RGB, excellent color and brightness for the price 50" — ~$1,600 55" — ~$2,100 65" — ~$2,600 75" — ~$3,100 85" — ~$4,000 98" — ~$9,000 BRAVIA 9 II - higher brightness, more advanced processing, better anti-glare, and local dimming performance 65" — ~$3,600 75" — ~$4,600 85" — ~$6,500 115" — ~$31,000 (a massive premium flagship option)

NBIW #254 | Börsenticker 025 Best Buy gehört zu den bekanntesten Elektronikhändlern der USA. Während stationäre Handelsketten vielerorts unter Druck geraten und der Onlinehandel weiter Marktanteile gewinnt, gelingt es dem Unternehmen bislang, profitabel zu bleiben. Die jüngsten Geschäftszahlen zeigen zwar leicht rückläufige Umsätze, gleichzeitig lag der Gewinn je Aktie über den Erwartungen. Im aktuellen Börsenticker geht es deshalb um die Frage, wie belastbar das Geschäftsmodell ist und welche Perspektiven sich für Anleger ergeben.

Join Kevin as he performs a dramatic reading of the statement Thompson wanted to read in protest of his 2008, one he never got to deliver because the judge wouldn't let him, prompting him to storm out of his own hearing.Content Warning: brief mention of suicide (25:26-26:21), lynchings and the Holocaust (28:45-29:46), and child sexual abuse (34:20-36:05). Read the full transcript of Jack's statement here: Stephanie Sterling, "Jack Thompson walks out of hearing, court recommends disbarment," Destructoid, June 4, 2008, https://web.archive.org/web/20200810161210/https://www.destructoid.com/stories/jack-thompson-walks-out-of-hearing-court-recommends-disbarment-89091.phtml.  And, of course, his disbarment ruling:  The Florida Bar v.

Dell Technologies just had its best single session in companyhistory — up 33% after beating earnings and raising full-yearguidance. AI server demand is flooding Dell's infrastructuredivision. Snowflake surged 36.5%. Best Buy up 15.8%.And today I want to have the honest conversation this channelhas needed to have.I am a news guy first. I found the NIO story because it wasone of the most compelling business stories of the decade —a Chinese EV company surviving bankruptcy, rebuilding fromnothing, competing against the world's most advanced automakers— and almost nobody in the English-speaking world was tellingit properly. I opened that window. That's still what thischannel is.But I own Dell. And today was a very good day.The NIO vs Dell comparison isn't a competition — it's aportfolio conversation. A concentrated bet on NIO missesthe AI infrastructure wave. A concentrated bet on Dellmisses the Chinese EV expansion story. The mistake thiscommunity sometimes makes is treating NIO as an identityrather than an investment.You're not a NIO person. You're an investor who has NIOin your portfolio. Those are different things.Bloomberg confirmed a tentative US-Iran deal is beingdiscussed. S&P 500 closed at 7,580 — a new all time record.The Dow crossed 51,000 for the first time in history.Oil slipped on the deal optimism. If this holds — everymacro headwind that's been weighing on growth stocks sinceFebruary starts to reverse. Rate cut expectations return.And the stocks held back by the overhang — including NIO —get re-rated upward.NIO launched its fifth Q2 product today — Onvo L60 pre-saleskicked off at the Shenzhen Auto Show. Official launch June 11.I'm a news guy. I document stories. The Chinese EV storyis one of the most important business stories of the decade.But I own Dell too.

Like so many people in the US, 32-year-old Nicole Fitts was struggling with housing insecurity. She worked at Best Buy in San Francisco, California and would often travel up to 4 hours a day to commute to work from wherever she was staying at the time. Sometimes the commute was so bad, Nicole would just crash on a couch until her next shift. This meant she would have to leave her two-year-old daughter Arianna with a babysitter for extended periods of time.   This was the reality of trying to make ends meet for Nicole. Eventually, one of her coworkers noticed what Nicole was going through just to get to work each day and offered for her and Arianna to move in with her. Nicole was ecstatic. She scraped together enough money to get Arianna a new bed and told the babysitter she was coming to pick up her daughter.   But she was met with resistance from the babysitter, saying they were out of town taking Arianna to Disneyland, she'd have to grab her daughter another day. Nicole was upset, obviously because she was ready to pick up her daughter but also because they didn't tell her they'd be taking Arianna out of town. According to Nicole's new roommate Goyette Williams, the plan was for Nicole to pick up her daughter on April 3rd, 2016. But on the night of April 1st, Nicole withdrew a large amount of money from her bank account, says she was going to meet the babysitter and would be back in 5 minutes.   A week later, Nicole's body was found in a local park. Nicole's killer has never been caught and Arianna remains missing to this day. 32-year-old Nicole Fitts was found murdered in McLaren Park in San Francisco, California on April 8th 2016. She was a black female with black hair and brown eyes.   Nicole's daughter, Arianna Fitts was last seen in Oakland California in February 2016. When she went missing, she was 2 years old, weighed approximately 45 pounds and was 2 feet tall. She is a black female with black hair and brown eyes. As of recording this episode, Arianna Fitts would now be 8 years old.   The San Francisco Police Department is offering a $250,000 reward for information about Nicole and Arianna. And Best Buy is offering an additional $10,000 reward.   If you see Arianna, call 911 immediately. If you have information on Arianna's whereabouts or anything related to the homicide of Nicole, contact the SFPD Homicide Unit at 415-553-1145, the SFPD Anonymous Tip Line at 415-575-4444, or text a tip to TIP 411 with SFPD at the beginning of the message, or visit sanfranciscopolice.org/tip.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Werbung | Zum 80. Jubiläum: Jetzt 4 Wochen Handelsblatt kostenlos sichern. Alle Infos unter: www.handelsblatt.com/80 Die Wall Street zeigt sich nach den jüngsten Rekordständen vorsichtiger, kann sich nach den milderen Inflationsdaten von den Tiefs aber erholen. Belastet wird die Stimmung durch einen erneuten militärischen Austausch zwischen den USA und Iran über Nacht, nachdem amerikanische Streitkräfte iranische Drohnen und Raketen abgefangen hatten. Zwar bleibt die Hoffnung auf eine diplomatische Lösung bestehen, die Zuversicht auf eine schnelle und dauerhafte Einigung hat aber nachgelassen. Gleichzeitig wächst an der Wall Street die Sorge vor anhaltend hohem Inflationsdruck. Zahlreiche Vertreter der US-Notenbank warnen, dass steigende Energiepreise und die Folgen des Nahost-Konflikts die Inflation hartnäckig hochhalten könnten und weitere Zinserhöhungen nicht ausgeschlossen seien. Entsprechend stehen heute die wichtigen PCE-Inflationsdaten im Fokus. Im Tech-Sektor sehen wir erste Ermüdungserscheinungen, mit den Reaktionen auf die Ergebnisse differenziert. Snowflake überzeugt mit starken Zahlen und einer angehobenen Prognose, gestützt durch die hohe Nachfrage nach KI- und Datenanwendungen. Marvell hebt ebenfalls die langfristigen Umsatzziele an, allerdings bremsen hohe Erwartungen nach der starken Kursrally die Reaktion der Aktie aus. Salesforce übertrifft beim Gewinn die Erwartungen, kämpft aber weiter mit Zweifeln, ob der Konzern im KI-Zeitalter zu den großen Gewinnern zählen wird. Die Umsatzaussichten sind leicht enttäuschend. HP Inc. profitiert von einer robusten Nachfrage im PC-Geschäft, macht aber gleichzeitig deutlich, wie stark die Kosten für Speicherchips und KI-Infrastruktur inzwischen steigen. Nach Börsenschluss stehen heute unter anderem Dell, Costco und NetApp im Fokus.

Colorado Democrats censure Governor Jared Polis for commuting sentences of an election "denier," finding a "third way" to piss off his own party.

This Omni Talk Retail Fast Five segment explores Best Buy's new consultation spaces inside IKEA stores and why the partnership could be smarter than it first appears. Chris Walton, Kelly Carey, and Chad Lusk discuss why IKEA shoppers are already in the mindset of upgrading their homes, how Best Buy's service-focused approach complements IKEA's inspiration-driven experience, and why this partnership works far better than trying to place IKEA inside Best Buy stores. They also unpack what this says about the growing importance of experiential retail and strategic in-store partnerships. ⏩ Tune in for the full episode here: https://youtu.be/JEg-on9i6mg #BestBuy #IKEA #RetailPartnerships #RetailInnovation #CustomerExperience

Un correo interno de afiliados de Best Buy fue verificado por Insider Gaming y apunta a que los preorders de GTA 6 abren el 18 de mayo, lo que significa que el Trailer 3 podría caer en menos de 72 horas. En este episodio del podcast de El Gamer Cave analizamos el leak completo, qué tan confiable es la fuente, qué esperamos ver en el trailer, y si vale la pena hacer preorder sin haber visto un segundo de gameplay real.

In an ever-shifting work landscape, leaders can no longer ignore their most overlooked stakeholders—their employees. In The Employee Advantage: How Putting Workers First Helps Business Thrive (PublicAffairs, 2024), behavioral economist Stephan Meier explains why organizations must value their employees as much as—if not more than—their customers: those that pivot toward an employee-centric model will be more profitable, innovative, and appealing to top talent. Through case studies of Fortune 500 companies like Costco, DHL, and Best Buy as well as smaller organizations, Meir shows why employees care about more than just money when it comes to their jobs—the same way customers care about more than just price, what mindset shifts are essential to becoming an employee-centric workplace, and how improving the employee experience benefits the business and bottom line.
