  • D-Wave Quantum's 38.8% Drop in November: What's Next for the Quantum Computing Firm?
    December 9, 2025, 5:04 AM EST. D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) nosedived nearly 39% in November as AI hype cooled and investors questioned whether a company with tens of millions in annual sales earns a $10 billion market cap. While the stock has rebounded slightly, it remains well off its October high, with a 12-month backdrop of about $24 million in revenue and roughly $400 million in net losses. The sector-wide pullback, plus government investment rumors after a Nobel Prize winner suggested Washington's quantum priorities, fueled speculation about direct funding. Yet the fundamental math - minimal sales vs. enormous valuation - challenges the case for sustained upside without meaningful products and profits from quantum computing.

  • Huawei Pura 90 May Step Up with 3D Face Recognition Unlocking
    December 9, 2025, 4:28 AM EST. Huawei is reportedly testing a new unlocking method for the upcoming Pura 90 series, hinting at a possible rollout of 3D Face Recognition. This would mark a shift from the current 2D Face Recognition, which relies on the front camera and can be spoofed by photos or videos. The 3D system uses a dot projector and infrared sensor to build a detailed facial map and typically performs better in low light. Huawei previously debuted 3D Face Recognition with the Mate 20 Pro in 2018, but Pura/Nova lines have used 2D tech until now. While a confirmed feature list for the Pura 90 hasn't been disclosed, industry chatter suggests the upgrade could appear as early as 2026, potentially alongside other camera or design enhancements like dynamic selfie improvements.

  • Early Smartphone Ownership at Age 12 Linked to Depression, Obesity, and Sleep Issues in Kids - New Study
    December 9, 2025, 4:12 AM EST. A new study following 10,588 adolescents found that owning a smartphone by age 12 is associated with higher risks to mental and physical health. Key findings include a higher diagnosed depression rate among phone owners (6.5% vs. 4.5%), greater obesity risk (about 18% vs. 12%), and a large portion reporting sleep deprivation (47% vs. 31%). Researchers note that increased screen time may contribute to sedentary habits and poorer sleep, potentially affecting mental well-being. The study underscores the importance of balancing benefits of connectivity with safeguards such as promoting physical activity, limiting screen time, and encouraging screen-free periods, especially before bedtime. Experts advocate thoughtful decisions by parents and caregivers when giving a child a phone.
