December 7, 2025, 10:14 AM EST. Apple's executive shake-up, including the departures of Jeff Williams, John Giannandrea, Lisa Jackson, Alan Dye, and Kate Adams, is feeding questions about the company's AI strategy. Even as Apple reports near-record iPhone sales, rising services, and a potential low-cost MacBook, analysts see a shift: two AI leaders are leaving, fueling talk that Cook wants to steer away from being a follower and toward AI leadership. Giannandrea's replacement, Amar Subramanya, will report to Craig Federighi as Apple refines its approach to on-device and cloud AI; rumors say Apple may rely on Google's Gemini for Siri until its own models are ready, at a cost of about $1 billion annually. Dye is headed to Meta to lead Reality Labs design, signaling a broader pivot in AI-driven product design.

December 7, 2025, 9:58 AM EST. Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT) delivered a 494% one-year return if you invested $1,000 a year ago, but the fundamentals tell a very different story. The company has a $2.88B market cap with only $546k in trailing revenue, yielding a price-to-sales ratio around 5,270x. It has burned through roughly $186M in cumulative losses since 2019, with an operating margin of -2709%, effectively losing $27 for every $1 in revenue. The rally was driven by speculation on quantum computing, retail trading activity, and an earnings surprise, not steady cash flows or institutional revaluation. The stock is highly volatile (beta ~3.8) and timing-dependent: it traded as high as $18.74 and as low as $10.27 in recent months. Key risks include no clear path to profitability and valuation based on future hopes rather than current fundamentals; it remains a speculative vehicle.

December 7, 2025, 9:46 AM EST. Garmin's new Instinct Crossover AMOLED is on sale now, offering a unique hybrid design that combines analog hands with an AMOLED display. The Cyber Monday deal saves you $100 on a retail price of around $649, debuting as the successor to the original Instinct Crossover. Review notes praise for battery life and design, but point out tradeoffs like an AMOLED screen that reduces battery life to about 14 days and the lack of touch controls, relying on physical buttons. It remains one of the most distinctive smartwatch options in Garmin's lineup, with multi-band GPS and built-in training tools. If you want a timepiece that blends classic watch aesthetics with modern smartwatch features, this is worth considering before the deal ends.

December 7, 2025, 9:44 AM EST. Tesla is rolling out the cheaper Standard versions of the Model 3 and Model Y in Europe to counter a sales slump. Dutch listings show the Model 3 Standard at 36,990 euros (vs 45,990€ for the Premium Long Range) and the Model Y Standard at 39,990 euros (vs 50,990€). Like their US counterparts, the Standard trims are de-contented, with less range and fewer features. ACEA data show Europe-wide EV registrations slipping for Tesla (October down 48.5%), while overall EV demand climbs; Tesla's share fell to 1.6%. Competitors such as BYD and SAIC posted gains. Musk's political stance and macro headwinds are cited as drag. Deliveries for the Standard trims begin in December in Europe, a bid to stabilize demand.
