December 6, 2025, 5:34 AM EST. Updated Dec 6: iOS 26.2 is anticipated for devices from the iPhone 11 onward.

December 6, 2025, 5:32 AM EST. Hertz's multibillion-dollar bet on EVs is a litmus test for how quickly the U.S. can scale fleet electrification. By steering thousands of electric vehicles into rental fleets, Hertz highlights America's pain points: a frail charging infrastructure, uneven access to fast chargers, and the grid straining under demand. The move sharpens questions about battery supply, cost of ownership, and the pace of renewable energy integration into the grid. Yet it also reveals soft spots: robust consumer demand for EV rentals, potential fleet efficiency savings, and partnerships that could accelerate decarbonization. If Hertz can secure reliable charging, efficient maintenance, and favorable financing, the venture could prove a scalable model for auto fleets transitioning to zero-emission travel - or expose where policy and industry must accelerate.

December 6, 2025, 5:30 AM EST. U.S. travelers are increasingly relying on generative AI to plan trips, yet experts warn this trend comes with real risks.

A recent Adobe study and travel surveys show a sharp spike in AI-driven planning, but seasoned professionals urge verification and independent checks. As holiday chaos grows, AI should be treated as a first draft rather than a final word, with travelers confirming schedules, hours, and local nuances from official sources to avoid disappointments and missed experiences.

December 6, 2025, 4:40 AM EST. Analysts say Alphabet and Microsoft could eclipse the combined $4.8 trillion value of Nvidia and Palantir by end-2026. Alphabet (~$3.8T) would need ~29% gain; Microsoft (~$3.6T) ~36% to reach ~$4.9T. Growth bets center on AI: Google Search and YouTube monetization, Gemini with hundreds of millions of users, and Google Cloud AI leadership. Industry trackers praise Alphabet's ads and cloud momentum; Microsoft remains a core software/cloud AI proxy. If AI demand sustains revenue and earnings, P/E multiples could stay supportive, potentially lifting both stocks above today's levels.
