Why Nintendo ditched the 'Nindies' name, according to former staffers
December 7, 2025, 3:52 AM EST. Former Nintendo of America staffers reveal that the 'Nindies' label was axed not over indie fanfare but legal concerns. On a recent podcast, Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang explain that Nintendo's legal team warned that mixing the Nintendo brand with another word could dilute and jeopardize protection of the core brand. They compare it to how Nintendo avoids domain-brand hacks like Wiimote. Despite fan enthusiasm and merch, the risk of trademark disputes made the term untenable. The company has kept similar ideas in house, using internal terms like Nsite and Nbassador, which aren't public-facing. The takeaway: while developers loved Nindies, Nintendo prioritized brand integrity and future legal defensibility over public branding.

The piece highlights the need for retraining and policy attention as tech reshapes creative careers.
Nvidia vs AMD: Which AI Chip Stock Leads in 2026?
December 7, 2025, 1:46 AM EST. Both Nvidia and AMD stand to gain from the ongoing AI infrastructure boom into 2026. Nvidia remains the clear leader in the GPU space, commanding a dominant data-center share and a broad moat through CUDA software, NVLink interconnects, and end-to-end AI infrastructure with its "AI factories." Its data-center networking stack and higher revenue growth support a cheaper forward P/E relative to AMD (about 24x vs. 34x). However, AMD is narrowing the gap by expanding in the inference market, where CUDA's moat is less entrenched, and could capture more data-center share if it scales. The outcome hinges on how quickly AMD closes the gap in training while expanding its inference footprint. Investors face two compelling bets: Nivida on leadership and AMD on potential market share gains in AI inference.
Gen Z Goes Retro: Why Young Shoppers Embrace Vinyl, DVDs and Disposable Cameras

The move comes as SpaceX boosts its Starlink satellite internet network and expands its launch cadence with Falcon 9. Elon Musk publicly downplayed fundraising tied to the valuation while signaling liquidity options via stock buybacks.
Forget Rigetti: Why IBM Is the Safer Quantum Stock Play
December 7, 2025, 1:10 AM EST.Quantum stocks have surged, but pure-play names like Rigetti Computing remain high-risk due to tiny revenues and rich valuations. The article instead argues for a safer quantum exposure in IBM, a diversified tech leader with a broader AI and cloud footprint. IBM has unveiled the Nighthawk quantum system (120 qubits, 218 tunable couplers), and its leadership foresees scale-ready quantum computers by 2029. Beyond quantum, IBM invests heavily in Watsonx and other software, services, and hardware offerings, supporting a robust revenue base. This mix reduces risk while still pursuing quantum advantages. The takeaway: favor a multi-dimensional approach to quantum bets-not a single speculative stock like Rigetti.
Tesla's FSD Approval in Europe Could Spark 2026 Robotaxi Push, Netherlands RDW Signals Milestone
December 7, 2025, 12:38 AM EST. Tesla is pressing ahead with FSD expansion, signaling a potential European rollout that could unlock a new wave of robotaxis. After the Netherlands' RDW hinted at confirming European approval in February 2026, investors view the move as a critical stepping stone-even as supervised FSD remains distinct from fully autonomous robo-taxis. In the U.S., Canada, Australia, and other regions, Tesla's current supervised FSD requires a driver, while the long-term plan targets unsupervised operation. If regulators grant broader FSD approval in Europe, Tesla could access a larger pool of potential customers and collect valuable driving data from a growing fleet. While risks persist-regulatory hurdles, data collection, and capital costs-the development underpins the bull thesis that Tesla's value is increasingly tied to FSD and robotaxi potential.
SpaceX Sued Over Freeport Valve Explosion in Texas Machine Shop

The plaintiff, Humberto Benavides, filed on Aug. 15. Benavides alleges life-altering injuries to his ribs, internal organs, and head. SpaceX and New Gen deny the allegations. Attorneys for Benavides say SpaceX and New Gen failed to hire or train qualified workers, with inadequate supervision and an unsafe work environment, and did not take steps to prevent the accident, including violations of federal safety rules. The trial is set for Nov. 9, 2026. Benavides is represented by Noah M. Wexler of Arnold & Itkin.
SpaceX Starship mishap could give Blue Origin edge in Artemis 3 landing contract
December 7, 2025, 12:26 AM EST. SpaceX's Starship program faced another setback after Booster 18 sustained an anomaly during an ambient pressure test, pushing reliance onto Booster 19 for Flight 12. SpaceX targets a Q1 2026 launch of the Starship V3 as part of building an operational lunar-capable rocket. Yet ongoing issues keep NASA and Congress attentive to the Artemis HLS competition for Artemis 3. Meanwhile, Blue Origin advances its Mark 1 lunar lander as a potential alternative, raising questions about which contractor lands astronauts on the Moon in 2027. If SpaceX cannot prove reliability by mid-decade, a provider switch could reshape the Artemis 3 strategy and funding dynamics.
Apple (AAPL) Gets $320 Target as Services Strength Offsets App Store Slowdown
December 7, 2025, 12:18 AM EST. Goldman Sachs reaffirmed its Buy rating on Apple (AAPL) with a $320 target, citing resilient Services growth even as near-term App Store softness persists. Sensor Tower data show App Store spending in November 2025 up 6% YoY, slowing from 9% in October, with the Games category weighing on growth. In the top markets-U.S., Japan, U.K., and Canada-spending decelerated, together accounting for about 52% of App Store spend. Growth has halved since July 2025, creating near-term downside risk from off-app payments. Yet Apple's Services engine is expanding, with iCloud+, AppleCare+, Apple Music and other subscriptions contributing to revenue acceleration despite App Store pressures. Goldman's view suggests the balance between Services strength and App Store softness could support further upside.
