Kate Flannery and Oscar Nuñez had a mini "Office" reunion on last night's season finale of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and went ALL THE WAY! (You'd know them as Meredith and Oscar on the show.) They even called up Brian Baumgartner (Kevin) for their "Phone-a-Friend" lifeline. As for the million-dollar question? "The word 'planet' comes from an ancient Greek word that literally means what?" Their options were "powerful," "immortal," "stranger," and "wanderer" . . . the answer being "wanderer". Kate and Oscar will be splitting their winnings between Planned Parenthood and a Philadelphia-based food bank called Philabundance. Fresh off Coachella comes Stagecoach!

She'll appear on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on October 6, just three days after her album release and one day after fiancé Travis Kelce's birthday. Fallon teased the appearance in a cryptic roulette-themed post landing on Swift's lucky number, 13. This marks Taylor's seventh Tonight Show stop, alongside guests Keri Russell and a performance from The Format.Queen Eyeing Vegas Sphere ResidencyBrian May says Queen is seriously considering a Las Vegas Sphere residency after seeing the Eagles perform there. He told Rolling Stone, “The kind of show we could put on would be absolutely stupendous.” While May admits he's weary of traditional touring after 50 years, the Sphere could give the band a spectacular new stage without the grind of life on the road. Katie Couric pokes fun at Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad in a new PSA for colon cancer screenings. The clip opens to a close-up of Katie wearing a jean jacket, and quickly pans out to show she's wearing a hospital gown underneath, and she's on a gurney getting ready for a colonoscopy. She tells the camera, quote, "Speaking of genes. Did you know that the majority of people who develop colon cancer are not genetically predisposed to the disease? That's why doctors recommend everyone 45 and older get checked." Katie told "People" magazine, quote, "That ad showed how pop culture and a pair of jeans could really shape the cultural conversation, it was everywhere. It was a moment in time, and we thought, 'Why don't we ride that horse a little bit longer and have some fun with it?'" It'sbeen 25 years since Katie became the first person in history to broadcast a colonoscopy on national TV. She lost her husband to colon cancer in 1998. He was only 42. One of the most famous homes in American history is opening its doors to the public for the first time ever. The "Brady Bunch" house in North Hollywood will be accessible to fans on November 7th, 8th, and 9th. And while bookings are sold out, you can register to be on a waitlist, or be notified if additional dates become available. When the show was in production back in the day, the house was only used for EXTERIOR shots. The inside of the Brady home was created on a soundstage, and the inside of the actual house looked nothing like it. But HGTV bought the house in 2018, and renovated it so that it DOES match the house from the show. And of course, they recorded it for a series called "A Very Brady Renovation". Alyssa Milano, now 52, announced on Instagram that she underwent surgery to remove her breast implants—calling it a step toward reclaiming her body. She wrote that she's letting go of “false narratives” and a body she felt was “sexualized” and “abused.” Page Six+2People.com+2Milano said she once believed implants were essential to being attractive, loved, or successful—but now emphasizes that her worth doesn't depend on them.

Page Six+1She made clear this was her personal decision and not a judgment on others who choose differently.

Sacha Baron Cohen, 53, has been spotted on a dinner date with 27-year-old OnlyFans creator Hannah Palmer, just months after finalizing his $75 million divorce from Isla Fisher. Page SixThe pair were seen leaving the restaurant separately before getting into the same Cadillac Escalade. Page Six+1Sources say they first met at Taika Waititi's 50th birthday party in Ibiza, with Rita Ora reportedly introducing them. Although the age gap raised eyebrows, insiders say they “seemed to be getting on really well.” Page Six+1Cohen and Fisher married in 2010, share three children, and announced their split in 2024 before finalizing the divorce this past June. Action legend Chuck Norris, now 85, marked his birthday by hiking Lassen Peak in Northern California—a strenuous trail rising to 10,457 feet. The round-trip journey spans about 5 miles and climbs 2,000 feet, often taking 4 to 5 hours to complete. Outside OnlineOn Instagram, Norris reflected on the trail's long recovery since the 2021 Dixie Fire, saying while the damage is heartbreaking, “the park's beauty still shines through.” Outside Online+2Active NorCal+2 He also credited his wife for introducing him to the region's natural splendor. It's official: HBO Max wants to traumatize your children. What other reason could there be for them to produce a brand new, animated version of "Charlotte's Web", one of the greatest children's stories ever told . . . until it becomes the most heart-wrenchingly brutal story in the history of mankind? This one is a limited series, told in three parts, which will all be released on Thursday, October 2nd. It stars Amy Adams as Charlotte, Elijah Wood as Wilbur the pig, and Jean Smart as the narrator. The voice cast also includes Cynthia Erivo, Randall Park, and Rosario Dawson. HBO Max released a clip yesterday of a scene between Charlotte and the young version of Wilbur, voiced by Griffin Robert Faulkner. Comedy legend Bill Burr is in talks to join production of The Social Network Part II, a follow-up to the 2010 Mark Zuckerberg biopic.

While Meta openly claims that they are supportive of 'free expression' around accurate health information, in practice they regularly take down accurate reproductive rights content without transparency.

In this episode, we dive into the controversial censorship practices of the Biden administration, exploring why mass suppression of information is deemed acceptable when Democrats do it, yet criticized when others voice opposing views. We examine the case of Jimmy Kimmel, the mass removal of posts during the pandemic, and the experiences of leading scientists whose insights were silenced despite being accurate. Featuring commentary on Jim Clyburn's defense of these actions, Mark Zuckerberg's account of government pressure
According to conventional history, the last 12,000 years has seen the steady march of progress from primitive savagery to enlightened civilization.In the age of Trump, Elon, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Putin, Xi, Orbán, Netanyahu, Erdoğan, and Khamenei, this story can't be true.Luke Kemp joins me to offer another story, one in which mutual aid is what makes humans special - and what historians call "civilization" is actually the history of domination and coercion.I cannot recommend the book more highly!https://flyleafbooks.com/book/9780593321355

Send us a textWhat if the real secret to extraordinary success isn't in grand gestures or viral moments—but in embracing what most people consider boring?In this episode, I break down how the best in the world use routine and repetition to their advantage. Mark Zuckerberg wears the same gray t-shirt every day. Steve Jobs stuck to his black turtleneck. Kobe Bryant spent hours shooting the same free throws. Tiger Woods drilled three-foot putts over and over again. These habits weren't random—they were intentional ways to save energy for what really mattered and build consistency that compounds into mastery.The truth is simple: consistency beats intensity every time. Yet, we're wired to chase dopamine hits and quick wins. Social media can fool us at times.As Naval Ravikant says, true wealth (and success) comes from the “boring” path—like steady index funds instead of risky meme stocks. The same principle applies across life: the unsexy, repeatable actions compound into greatness.Cheers to embracing boring!Thank you for tuning in!

Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos… modern billionaires are in a league of their own. We're often told that wealth comes from hustle, long hours, and smart decisions. But once you reach billionaire level we're no longer talking about salaries, bonuses, or promotions. Take Jeff Bezos, for example. As of April 2025, Forbes estimated his fortune at around $236 billion. For comparison, the median salary in the U.S. is about $60,000 a year. So how long would the average American have to work to earn Bezos-level wealth? The answer: more than 3 million years and that's assuming they never spend a single cent. Who was he? So how did he become so rich? Where did all that power come from? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: How can you keep wasps away?

Story of the Week (DR):Disney Pulls Jimmy Kimmel's Show After Kirk Remarks Republicans Leverage Charlie Kirk's Death to Declare War on Free SpeechCharlie Kirk assassination reignites debate over Section 230 protections for social media companies"Section 230 needs to be repealed. If you're mad at social media companies that radicalize our nation, you should be mad," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I have a bill that will allow you to sue these people. They're immune from lawsuits."Nexstar And Sinclair, Two Largest Station Groups, Wield Influence In ABC Decision To Pull Jimmy Kimmel In Light Of His Charlie Kirk CommentsA $6.2 billion deal looms over Jimmy Kimmel's suspensionNexstar, the largest station group in the country, is a leading champion in the broadcast industry for the FCC to relax media ownership limits and has a major merger before the Trump administration, its proposed $6.2B acquisition of Tegna, creating a mega-company with 265 stations in 44 states and the District of Columbia, representing 80% of U.S. TV households.Nexstar needs the agency to ease rules that currently limit the percentage a broadcaster can reach to 39% of the nation's television households.Sinclair also is seeking deregulation, and in its statement, it praised Carr. “We appreciate FCC Chairman Carr's remarks today and this incident highlights the critical need for the FCC to take immediate regulatory action to address control held over local broadcasters by the big national networks,” Sinclair said.Nexstar: founder/Chair/CEO Perry SookSinclair: the Smith family: currently nepobaby David Smith; board is 44% SmithWhat to know about Brendan Carr, the FCC chairman who went after Jimmy KimmelIn response to an opinion column in The Washington Post by Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Facebook, outlining his ideas for removing harmful content, Carr criticized Zuckerberg's call for government regulation as a violation of the First Amendment.He later praised Zuckerberg's "instincts" to show Trump's posts that amplified COVID-19 misinformation unaltered.Carr supported Trump's "Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship" targeting Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.Trump filed a $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times and 4 of its journalistsTrump's NYT Lawsuit Dismissed by Republican-Appointed JudgeA federal judge on Friday dismissed Donald Trump's $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times. U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday: a lawsuit is not "a protected platform to rage against an adversary."Comcast CEO criticizes ex-MSNBC contributor's remarks about Charlie Kirk in memo to staffTrumpy Billionaires Close In on TikTok TakeoverAllies of President Donald Trump are poised to get their hands on TikTok's U.S. operations.Entrepreneur Larry Ellison, worth approximately $350 billion, and Marc Andreessen, a venture capitalist with a $2 billion net worth, have been pals with the president for years.Ellison's software giant Oracle, Andreessen's venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, and private equity firm Silver Lake are among a group of U.S. businesses said to be nearing a deal to take over the American operations of the short-form video app, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.Nestlé Chairman to Step Down After Abrupt CEO FiringNestlé investors demand chair Paul Bulcke resign over CEO churn “I have full trust in Nestlé s new leadership and firmly believe this great company is well positioned for the future,” Bulcke said. “This is the right moment for me to step aside and accelerate the planned transition, allowing Pablo and Philipp to advance Nestlé's strategy and guide the company with a fresh perspective.”Board member (2018-) Pablo Isa new chairThe company appointed Dick Boer as lead independent director and vice chairman of the board of directors as of Oct. 1, while Marie-Gabrielle Ineichen-Fleisch was appointed vice chair of the board.A new ally against excessive CEO Pay: Pope LeoPope Leo appears to be particularly baffled by the Tesla pay package that could turn Elon Musk into the world's first trillionaire: “What does that mean and what's that about? If that is the only thing that has value anymore, then we're in big trouble.”Dave Ramsey Says 'We're Not All Equal. It Doesn't Work That Way' — The Rich Aren't Evil, It's Just Math and Jealousy Fueling the StigmaRashida Tlaib and Bernie Sanders introduce the Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act. Proponents of the bill argue that it will incentivize large corporations to narrow their internal pay disparities by either increasing wages for their lowest-paid employees or reducing executive compensation packages Key Provisions of the Act:Tax Trigger: The new tax would apply to companies with a CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio of 50-to-1 or greater.Graduated Tax Rates: The penalty begins with a 0.5 percentage point tax increase for companies with a pay ratio between 50 and 100-to-1.Progressive Structure: The tax rate increase climbs with the pay ratio:1.0 percentage point for ratios between 100 and 200-to-1.2.0 percentage points for ratios between 200 and 300-to-1.3.0 percentage points for ratios between 300 and 400-to-1.4.0 percentage points for ratios between 400 and 500-to-1.5.0 percentage points for ratios exceeding 500-to-1.Broad Application: The act is intended to apply to both publicly and privately held companies with annual revenues of $100 million or more.Exxon to offer auto-voting to counter shareholder activism. Here's how it works:Opt-In Program: The auto-voting feature is a voluntary, opt-in program for retail investors.Automatic Voting: Once enrolled, an investor's shares will be automatically voted in accordance with the board's recommendations on all proposals at shareholder meetings.Flexibility for Investors: Despite the automated nature, investors will still receive all proxy materials and retain the right to manually override the automatic vote on any specific proposal. They can also opt out of the program at any time, free of charge.Exxon's Stated Rationale:Leveling the Playing Field: Exxon argues that this program is a matter of fairness, designed to give retail investors the same ease of voting that institutional investors have. They contend that individual investors often lack the time and resources to research and vote on complex proxy proposals.Addressing Low Turnout: The company has highlighted that while retail investors hold a significant portion of its shares (nearly 40%), their voting turnout is low (only about a quarter of them vote).Countering Activist Agendas: Exxon has explicitly stated that activist groups have exploited this low retail voter participation to advance their own agendas, which the company claims are often political and detrimental to long-term shareholder value.Texas AG probes proxy advisers Glass Lewis, ISS amid ESG backlash By ReutersExxon Urges Europe to Repeal Rules to Make Companies Track Climate PollutionGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Tyson is ditching corn syrupIt also plans to axe sucralose, BHA/BHT, and titanium dioxide from its food by the end of 2025MM: New Poll Finds That Americans Loathe AI53 percent of just over 5,000 US adults polled in June think that AI will "worsen people's ability to think creatively."

He was criticized harshly from many on the political right when in 2018, he cancelled Rosanne, then ABC's #1 show, when its star imploded with a cruel racial tirade about President Obama's former top advisor, Valerie Jarrett.”Sonnenfeld ignores the content of what was said obviously, since he has to make a point to kiss Iger's ass - Kimmel said MAGA didn't want the shooter to be MAGA, Barr said a black woman was from Planet of the Apes… so, very the same?This isn't about brand protection, this is about economics - and Iger the dealmaker just made a trade: short-term political expediency for cash as he tries to unload ABCIn 2023, Iger was in talks with Nexstar to buy ABC outrightAlso 2023, massive deals between Disney and NexstarNexstar's ABC agreements expire December 202614% of Nexstar stations are ABC affiliates - Tegna would add 7%Disney already was cancelled by the right for having movies that were too woke, now they just Target-ed themselves right in the groinASSHOLE ACTION ITEM:Disney's next AGM is likely March 2026 - buy Disney stock with the intention of voting out every starfucky directorBonus option: buy shares of Coca-Cola, GM, Under Armour, P&G, Reckitt Benckiser, Bristol Myers, Target, Carlyle, and Lululemon to vote the same directors out of ALL their board positions - make shit decisions in one place, you'll make them everywhereDisney's Mel Lagomasino on Coca-Cola with Carolyn Everson (twofer!), Mary Barra at GM, Everson also at Under Armour, Amy Chang at P&G, Jeremy Darroch at Reckitt Benckiser, Derica Rice at Bristol Myers, Target (anti DEI AND anti free speech!), Carlyle, Cal McDonald at LululemonVote out Sonnenfeld - on the board of Lennar Corporation - vote him out for kicks since he's so deferential to CEOs, how on earth can he hold one accountable? Is he the voice of shareholders or CEOs?Perry SookThe buyer! Nexstar looking to acquire Tegna for $6bn, which would consolidate 80% of US households local news stationsNexstar has to make nice with Brendan Carr, chair of the FCC (I miss Lina Kahn… sigh) - and Carr is purely political, so here was how they bent the knee:“Nexstar's owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight's show. Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.”Again, if you read Kimmel's actual comment, he's saying that MAGA doesn't want the shooter to be MAGA… he actually didn't say ANYTHING ELSE about the shooting itselfSonnenfeld: “Kimmel's suggestion that “the MAGA gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them” doesn't square with the facts which are known at this point. Regardless, these comments are blatantly insensitive as political violence should never be tolerated or exploited as comedic entertainment, no matter who perpetrated it.”Except Kimmel didn't joke about political violence, he joked about the fact that MAGA is super hoping it wasn't their political violence.Perry Sook's political donations have been almost entirely to Republican candidates over the last decade (except for National Association of Broadcasters) - and it's paid offBrendan Carr, Soon To Be FCC Chair, Says Commission Will Back Local TV Stations “Even If That's In Conflict” With Broadcast NetworksNew FCC boss could unleash biggest local TV shakeup in decadesSook owns just under 6% of Nexstar stock, with Vanguard and Blackrock clocking in at a combined 21.8% - meaning about 28% of votes are guaranteed to go with managementMeaning this was all a pretense to consolidate broadcaster ownership - and Sook is one of the winners of the consolidationNow Carr has a reason he can vote for Nexstar purchase, Iger gets out of more ABCASSHOLE ACTION ITEMIt's basically too late to vote against Nexstar's board - their meeting was in June 2025, the merger will be approved by thenYou could maybe buy shares and vote against the mergerAlternatively, buy Yelp (Tony Wells), Denny's (Bernadette Aulestia), and Urban One (Geoffrey Armstrong) to vote out board elsewhereDavid Deniston SmithCEO of Sinclair, owner of 20% of ABC affiliates - the most currently, but post merger would be secondNepo baby Smith, who, with the rest of his brothers and family, own 82% of voting power, are Trump and GOP toadiesAnother mediocre conservative blowhard CEO who spent the last two decades kissing the ass of every republican he can findHe was one of Turning Point USAs biggest donors through his foundation, and issued the following statement: they would “not lift the suspension of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!' on our stations until formal discussions are held with ABC regarding the network's commitment to professionalism and accountability,” calling on Kimmel to make a direct apology to the Kirk family, and for the network to make a “meaningful donation” to them and Turning Point USA.In the 00s, Sinclair let a paid Bush administration propagandist deliver reporting on their local news stationsIn Trump 1.0, Sinclair forced local news broadcasters to read off a script about how mainstream media was fake newsIn the 90s, Smith was caught getting a blowjob from a prostituteASSHOLE ACTION ITEMSinclair's board is dual class dictatorship, but you CAN vote out Ben Carson on the DR Horton and Covenant Logistics boards - yes, that Ben CarsonHeadliniest of the WeekDR: Elon Musk Fires 500 Staff at xAI, Puts College Kid in Charge of Training GrokMM: If You Don't Know Who the Underperforming Director Is, It Might Be You!Are the CEO, chair or committee leads soliciting my input off-cycle?Does the CEO and select members of the executive team think of me as a trusted advisor and am I able to constructively coach behind the scenes?If the answers to all of these questions are “No,” it could be a sign that you are not performing to the level expected by your company's management.YOU DON'T REPORT TO MANAGEMENTWho Won the Week?DR: I guess they just win every week: Trumpy and creepy billionaires profiting over an app used primarily by 18-34 year olds (70%): Oracle's Larry Elison, Andreessen Horowitz's Marc Andreessen.MM: Gillette, the razor company: Pete Hegseth goes to war against military beards, stresses ‘grooming standards which underpin the warrior ethos'PredictionsDR: FCC Chair Brendan Carr cancels himself when he digs up reports when he cast himself as a First Amendment purist, denouncing efforts by Democrats and Republicans to lean on TV providers and social media platforms as “censorship” and a “chilling transgression of free speech.”ure on media a ‘chilling transgression of free speech.'”MM: I wrote this on Bluesky two days ago: “The next step for Brendan Carr and the FCC is to repeal Section 230 - after which they can sue social media companies for any anti-conservative posts. Then the silencing is complete until dissent is done via snail mail.” Today, I was right: Charlie Kirk assassination reignites debate over Section 230 protections for social media companies.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1150: Today we're looking at the story that led Lithia to become the powerhouse it is today, showing a sneak peek of an upcoming interview with Alex Lawrence and talking about Meta's latest tech.Show Notes with links:From one small Dodge store in Oregon to the largest dealership group in the U.S., the DeBoer family's journey with Lithia Motors is a case study in vision, timing, and relentless growth. Automotive News honored Sid and Bryan DeBoer with a Centennial Award for their lasting industry impact.Lithia's roots trace back to 1946, when Walt DeBoer opened a Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge dealership in Ashland, Ore.After Walt's sudden death in 1968, Sid DeBoer stepped in, rebuilt the business, and grew it into a five-store group by the 1990s.In 1996, Sid took Lithia public, fueling an aggressive acquisition strategy that reshaped the group into a national powerhouse.Bryan DeBoer became CEO in 2012, executing megadeals like DCH Auto Group and expanding into Canada, the U.K., finance, and fleet management.By 2024, Lithia operated 459 stores across three countries, generating $36.2B in revenue and selling more than 780,000 vehicles.Sid on Lithia's future: “We won't stop growing… We're trying to build a business that can survive even if the franchise system falls apart.”Yesterday, Kyle was able to swing by EV Auto in Brentwood to catch up with the one and only Alex Lawrence. After a sneak peek of everything the EV Auto team is planning for the store, including some secrets we can't share, he and Alex sat down to chat about what drives EV Auto and why they're committed to being the biggest seller of EVs in the world.Meta is pushing its wearable technology forward with the launch of new Ray-Ban Display Glasses. The glasses are designed to project information directly into the wearer's line of sight and could signal how everyday computing may evolve.The glasses include a small electronic display on the right lens that shows texts, maps, calls, and translations.Users control the glasses with a neural wristband that detects hand and finger gestures.The product will sell for at least $800 and requires a smartphone connection to operate.The glasses carry a six-hour battery life and weigh three times more than a standard pair of Ray-Bans.Early adoption is expected to come from specialized industries and tech enthusiasts rather than mainstream consumers.Mark Zuckerberg positioned the product within Meta's long-term strategy, stating: “This will be a defining year that determines if we're on a path towards many hundreds of millions, and eventually billions of AI glasses.”0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:45 Deboers Win Automotive News Centennial Award6:20 Interview with Alex Lawrence of EV Auto13:56 Meta Releases Ray-Ban DisplayJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Meta franchit un cap avec ses nouvelles Ray-Ban Meta Display, premières lunettes grand public combinant intelligence artificielle et réalité augmentée, à l'aide d'un mini écran intégré qui projette des images directement devant vos yeux. Mark Zuckerberg poursuit son rêve de metavers.Présentées par Mark Zuckerberg, le patron de Meta, le 17 septembre 2025, les Ray-Ban Meta Display inaugurent une nouvelle ère pour l'informatique personnelle, avec un écran couleur intégré dans le verre, un assistant IA et un bracelet connecté pour interagir du bout des doigts.Un écran devant les yeuxLes Ray-Ban Meta Display embarquent un écran couleur invisible pour l'entourage, qui permet d'afficher messages, photos, appels vidéo ou itinéraires. L'assistant IA intégré permet de piloter les fonctions à la voix ou par gestes, notamment via un bracelet “neural band” détectant les mouvements de la main. Un véritable saut technologique pour Meta, qui parvient à miniaturiser des fonctionnalités de smartphone dans une paire de lunettes.Une alliance stratégique avec EssilorLuxotticaLe partenariat avec le géant de l'optique EssilorLuxottica s'impose comme un avantage décisif : maîtrise de la fabrication, distribution, design… Meta a trouvé le bon partenaire pour s'implanter durablement sur le marché de la tech portable. Un mariage audacieux mais désormais gagnant, entre la Silicon Valley et la lunetterie italienne.Le métavers n'est pas mortCe lancement s'inscrit dans la continuité du projet Orion, futur produit emblématique mêlant réalité augmentée et IA. Loin d'avoir enterré son rêve de métavers, Mark Zuckerberg le nourrit désormais à travers ces objets connectés. Comme la montre connectée hier, les lunettes pourraient bien devenir demain le cœur de notre vie numérique.

Vor einigen Wochen schon sorgte Google mit der neuen Pixel-Reihe für Schlagzeilen: Die Künstliche Intelligenz, die der Konzern entwickelt, hat inzwischen ein beachtliches Niveau erreicht und macht seine Mobiltelefone attraktiver als je zuvor. Das ist insofern bedeutsam, weil der iPhone-Hersteller Apple gerade auf diesem Feld bislang nicht mithalten kann. Darum war mit Spannung erwartet worden, ob Apple in diesem Herbst auch in der KI (endlich) Bahnbrechendes präsentieren würde. Die Antwort lautet bekanntlich: Nein. Stattdessen setzt Apple weiterhin vornehmlich auf Hardware-Innovation. Das neues iPhone Air ist statt der üblichen acht nur 5,6 Millimeter schlank, es wiegt statt 200 Gramm und mehr nur 165 und setzt damit ganz andere Prioritäten als die Geräte für Nerds, die auf einen dicken Akku und ein riesiges Display achten. So dünn war noch kein iPhone. Dafür setzt Apple auf neue Materialien. Aber ein dünnes und leichtes Smartphone hat unzweifelhaft Nachteile, wie im Frühjahr das Galaxy S25 Edge von Samsung zeigte. Das Stichwort ist die magere Akkulaufzeit. Apple stellte bei der Präsentation des Air wiederholt heraus, dass man mit ihm gut über den Tag komme. Aber schon der erste Blick auf die Zahlen zeigt, um was es geht: Der Hersteller spricht von bis zu 27 Stunden Videowiedergabe, beim ebenfalls neuen iPhone 17 Pro Max sind es indes bis zu 37. Eine zweite Einschränkung ist die Kameraabteilung, die mit einem optischen System auskommen muss. In dieser Woche dann stellte der Facebook-Konzern Meta wiederum eine neue Version seiner smarten Ray-Ban-Brille vor. Diese ist nun mit einem Armband kombiniert, dass Hand- und Fingerbewegungen so umwandeln kann, dass ein Nutzer damit die Brillen-Funktionen steuern kann. Während der Präsentation ging einiges schief. Gleichwohl gelang dem Meta-Vorstandsvorsitzenden Mark Zuckerberg zu demonstrieren, wohin sich seiner Ansicht nach die Reise der Endgerätebranche bewegt: Hin zu einem natürlicheren und noch einfacheren Zugang zu Rechenleistung und Informationsverarbeitung als ihn die in jede Hosen-, Jacken- oder Handtasche passenden Smartphones bieten. Was können die neuen Geräte? Hält Apple seine starke Marktposition trotz des KI-Nachteils? Was ist von Zuckerbergs Spekulation zu halten? Über all das und mehr sprechen wir in dieser Episode.

Dana reacts to the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel and explains why this wasn't government censorship of free speech but a business decision from a private company. The media and Democrats react to Kimmel's suspension, calling it “cancel culture” and a Constitutional crisis. Mark Zuckerberg's AI glasses demo was an absolute train wreck. President Trump pays tribute to Charlie Kirk while visiting the UK for a State Dinner. Dana explains what the FCC actually does and what it means to have an FCC license. Barack Obama claims he never went after his political opponents in the wake of tragedy. FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr joins us to respond to reports that he personally ordered Jimmy Kimmel to be suspended, the truth as to why it happened, addresses calls from House Democrats to RESIGN and much more. Sen. Rand Paul joins us to break down the Congressional hearing with the CDC on the truth about vaccine information, Big Pharma's current influence, his efforts to truly balance the budget and more.

When most DTC brands think about scaling, they focus on optimizing Facebook ads or expanding to new digital channels. But Jared Mehr helped build something different at Pura Vida—a wholesale empire that became 25% of their business and played a crucial role in their $135 million exit to Vera Bradley. In this episode, Jared breaks down the counterintuitive truth about wholesale: it's often more profitable than your direct-to-consumer sales, provides incredible diversification, and creates marketing lift that benefits all your channels.Starting from cold calls and trade show hustle, Jared shares the exact playbook that took Pura Vida from selling friendship bracelets in a San Diego bedroom to building relationships with thousands of retailers nationwide. Whether you're tired of being at the mercy of Zuckerberg's algorithm changes or looking to build a more attractive business for potential acquirers, this episode reveals why wholesale might be your most overlooked growth opportunity.—Sponsored by OMG Commerce - go to (https://www.omgcommerce.com/contact) and request your FREE strategy session today!—Chapters: (00:00) Intro(04:23) The Importance of Wholesale in Business(13:42) The Pura Vida Success Story(16:51) Practical Steps to Launching Wholesale(21:44) Wayflyer: Fast, Flexible Funding Designed for You(22:26) Making It Easy for Retailers to Say Yes(27:21) How to Identify Your Target Retailers(34:08) Common Mistakes in Wholesale Retail(37:51) The Role of Sales Reps(42:05) Understanding Retailer Terms(45:30) Pricing Strategies for Wholesale(51:15) Threecolts: Recover Hidden Revenue for Free—Connect With Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebrettcurry/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@omgcommerce Website: https://www.omgcommerce.com/ Request a Free Strategy Session: https://www.omgcommerce.com/contact Relevant Links:Pura Vida Bracelets: https://www.puravidabracelets.com/Jared's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaredmehrSpecial Offer | Wayflyer: https://wayflyer.com/en/partners/omgcommerceSpecial Offer | Threecolts: https://www.threecolts.com/Past guests on eCommerce Evolution include Ezra Firestone, Steve Chou, Drew Sanocki, Jacques Spitzer, Jeremy Horowitz, Ryan Moran, Sean Frank, Andrew Youderian, Ryan McKenzie, Joseph Wilkins, Cody Wittick, Miki Agrawal, Justin Brooke, Nish Samantray, Kurt Elster, John Parkes, Chris Mercer, Rabah Rahil, Bear Handlon, JC Hite, Frederick Vallaeys, Preston Rutherford, Anthony Mink, Bill D'Allessandro, Stephane Colleu, Jeff Oxford, Bryan Porter and more
Explore Meta Connect 2025's biggest reveals — from the new Meta Ray-Ban Gen 2 smart glasses to the Oakley Vanguard wraparound design, plus the debut of the Meta Ray-Ban Display with Neural Band control. Discover battery upgrades, camera improvements, conversation-enhancing audio, and what these innovations mean for blind and low-vision users. Steven Scott and Shaun Preece are joined by Carrie Morales and Michael Babcock to break down everything announced at Meta Connect 2025. The team debates whether the updated Meta Ray-Ban glasses are truly next-gen or a 1.5 release, and how the Oakley Vanguard wraparounds deliver better battery life, centred cameras, fitness integrations, and louder open-ear audio. The discussion dives deep into the Meta Ray-Ban Display — a $799 pair of glasses with a small right-eye screen and Neural Band gesture control. While impressive for mainstream users, the panel questions accessibility potential for blind and low-vision users. Live AI demos and WhatsApp call fails from Mark Zuckerberg highlight the real-world reliability of this evolving tech. Key insights include the new Conversation Focus feature for isolating voices in noisy spaces, Garmin and Strava integration for sports users, and the significance of Neural Band gestures for future accessible interfaces. Tech futurist Robert Scoble also shares his perspective on live demo risks, AI-powered experiences, and where smart glasses are headed in the next decade.

Prendi parte alla nostra Membership per supportare il nostro progetto Missione Cultura e diventare mecenate di Geopop: https://geopop.it/Muh6X Il bias del sopravvissuto è un errore di ragionamento che si verifica quando, per valutare una determinata situazione, prendiamo in considerazione solo i casi che hanno avuto successo e che sono “sopravvissuti” a un determinato processo di selezione, ignorando invece quelli che sono falliti. Facciamo un esempio: "Bill Gates e Mark Zuckerberg sono diventati miliardari senza avere una laurea, quindi per avere successo non serve laurearsi". Il problema di questo ragionamento è che non stiamo valutando tutti gli altri casi, quelli in cui le persone senza laurea non hanno avuto successo. In questo video vedremo cos'è il bias del sopravvissuto e come questo errore logico può influenzare la nostra vita, analizzando alcuni degli esempi più famosi di survivorship bias.

Manuel Jabois reflexiona sobre los fallos técnicos que han empañado la presentación de las gafas inteligentes de Mark Zuckerberg y Meta
5 miljard dollar. Dat is het bedrag dat Nvidia opeens over heeft voor concurrent Intel. Samen gaan de 2 chipmakers datacenters bouwen en computeronderdelen ontwerpen. Beleggers in Intel gillen het uit van enthousiasme. En ook in Nederland wordt feest gevierd, want de aandelen van ASML, ASM International en Besi doen ook een flinke vreugdesprong. Gaat één van de belangrijkste klanten van de chippers dan weer flink inkopen doen binnenkort? Dat bespreken we in deze aflevering. Dan hebben we het ook over de snelle planga van Mark Zuckerberg. De topman van Meta kreeg zijn jaarlijkse anderhalf uur om over de toekomst van zijn bedrijf te praten. En die anderhalf uur stond volledig in het teken van het succesnummer van Meta: de slimme bril. De samenwerking met Ray-Ban smaakt naar meer, en Meta gaat daar maar al te graag op in. Daarbij doet Zuckerberg ook nog een stevige uitspraak: want het einde van het smartphone-tijdperk is volgens hem in zicht. En verder hebben we het nog over de Federal Reserve. Die gaf Donald Trump dan eindelijk een beetje zijn zin, met een renteverlaging van een kwart procentpunt. Maar toch verliep de vergadering niet helemaal zoals verwacht. Er was maar één Fed-bestuurder die pleitte voor een grotere verlaging van de beleidsrente, terwijl de verwachting was dat dat er op z'n minst drie zouden zijn.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Politics makes strange bedfellows. Who would've thought that Liz Cheney, who voted with Trump 97% of the time during his four years in office would become a liberal hero for standing up to his lies and autocratic desires? And Facebook makes a big show out of its decision to uphold the former president's suspension. But it's all just a big sideshow for the fact that Zuckerberg and Co don't want to have to change how they do business. Now they're in a nightmare scenario of their own making. Finally, progressive superstar journalist David Corn drops by Mea Culpa to discuss Don Jr's legal troubles, the Facebook decision and much, much more.

Tim Berners-Lee could be one of the richest men on the planet, why did he forfeit such large profits to make the World Wide Web a free and open space? How do we reclaim the internet from social media companies taking away our sovereignty? Have tech giants like Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk thanked Tim for his invention?

Cable TV titan John Malone joins Margaret Hoover to talk about his new memoir, “Born to Be Wired,” and current challenges in media and politics.Malone, who played a key role in the development of the cable industry at Tele-Communications Inc. and Liberty Media Corp., explains why he opposed efforts to regulate his industry like net neutrality–and why he now believes more aggressive regulation is necessary for Big Tech today. Still, he also defends the CEOs of major tech companies like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk as “heroes of a capitalistic society.”Malone–the chairman emeritus of CNN's parent company Warner Bros. Discovery–reflects on the state of the news media today, the need for objective reporting, and the consequences of a fractured media landscape.He also discusses the dysfunction of Congress and expansion of executive power and comments on President Trump's second term, saying “I like his policies, but his style is so disruptive and divisive that I'm not sure at the end of the day the country can survive it.”Support for Firing Line with Margaret Hoover is provided by Robert Granieri, The Tepper Foundation, Vanessa and Henry Cornell, The Fairweather Foundation, and Pritzker Military Foundation.
This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, we're diving headfirst into the digital dumpster fire, starting with follow-up that will make you wonder if the rich are finally getting their comeuppance. It seems Tesla's market share is plummeting, and Elon Musk has been unceremoniously knocked off as the world's wealthiest person. Meanwhile, OpenAI and Microsoft are flirting with new partnership terms, and OpenAI is also reportedly cozying up with Oracle for a cloud computing deal. Are they figuring it all out or just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic? You decide.In the news, it's a feast of AI-induced chaos. Anthropic attempted to settle a copyright lawsuit for $1.5 billion, but a judge rejected it. Apple faces scrutiny for allegedly using pirated books to train AI (because who needs original ideas when you can just steal them?), and everyone from Reddit to Yahoo is rushing to get paid for their data being scraped by AI. Google even admits that the open web is struggling, while pushing ads into AI-generated answers and trying to convince us that DOGE never existed. Meanwhile, millions of YouTube videos have been copied by AI companies—because why create when you can just steal? Not to mention, The Boring Company reportedly stopped tunneling after a "crushing injury" (ironic, huh?), Zuckerberg and Palmer Luckey are teaming up again like a disastrous boy band for military-grade goggles, and Meta whistleblowers are exposing child safety issues. Plus, a hot mic caught Zuck groveling to Trump—the cringe is real. And if that wasn't enough, it turns out AI usage is actually declining at big companies, and programmers using AI are creating more security risks than a screen door on a submarine. It's almost like we saw this coming.For your Media Candy fix, get ready for a dose of existential dread. The MTV Video Music Awards are still happening in 2025, with a median viewer age of 56—because nothing screams "youth culture" like osteoporosis. We'll wonder if Wednesday (aka Charlie Sheen) is still winning and discuss Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Amazon Music is launching AI-powered playlists (because who needs a human DJ when you can have an algorithm that thinks it knows your soul?), and Deezer claims 28% of all new music is AI-generated. Taika Waititi is developing a "potentially disastrous" Fyre Fest musical (we're excited!), Foundation is renewed for season 4, and the HBO Max CEO thinks it's "way underpriced"—bless his heart. Plus, more Highlander reboot news that will probably disappoint, and a look at The Missi & Brooke Show and The Traitors Ireland.Finally, in Apps & Doodads, bad news for AirPods Live Translation in the EU, Evernote and WeTransfer's owner is buying Vimeo, and you need this pettable Poké Ball Tamagotchi-style toy. In The Dark Side with Dave, we'll discuss The Princess Bride, how tariffs are ruining hobbies, and who wants "slop for their ears."
