November 21, 2025, 7:58 PM EST. Biweekly update on quantum computing highlights a shift toward real-time fault control driving plans toward logical qubits, with global funding in the billions and talent gaps noted. IonQ's Niccolò de Masi testified in Congress, claiming cloud links with Nvidia, AstraZeneca, and Amazon can cut long tasks from months to days and boost cost/power efficiency. PsiQuantum taps Jacobs Solutions for a Chicago-area site to scale from a test rack to utility-scale systems. SandboxAQ advances sensing via AQNav with DIU, while Alpine Quantum Technologies ports its IBEX Q1 trapped-ion system to Amazon Braket. Full-site builds pursue regional quantum spaces.

November 21, 2025, 7:56 PM EST. China's BOE is reportedly struggling to meet Apple's exacting LTPO OLED quality standards for the upcoming iPhone 17 lineup. The contract called for about 10 million panels in Q3 2026, but sources say BOE's lack of prior LTPO OLED experience has delayed progress. In response, Samsung Display is stepping in to fulfill the order, reportedly supplying up to 90 million panels to Apple, a significant increase from prior cadences. BOE's ongoing production issues persist even as its X3 OLED tech is already used in devices like the OnePlus 15. The situation is complicated by the US ITC ruling that found BOE guilty of IP theft from Samsung Display, barring BOE from entering the US market for about 15 years and boosting Samsung/LG leverage in the interim.

November 21, 2025, 7:52 PM EST. U.S. stocks opened higher on fresh optimism led by a Nvidia blowout and a stronger-than-expected September jobs report, with traders weighing the chance of a late-year Fed rate cut. The S&P 500 rose about 1.5%, the Nasdaq jumped ~2%, and the Dow climbed roughly 600 points early, before retreating into midday trading as rate-cut expectations faded. Nvidia's results underscored continued momentum in AI, while Walmart's raised outlook supported consumer sentiment. The payrolls showed 119,000 added jobs, the unemployment rate at 4.4%, and roughly 450,000 entrants to the labor force, signaling resilience amid headwinds. Separately, Verizon announced 13,000 layoffs; other big employers also signaled job cuts. The report pointed to a mixed economy: manufacturing and warehousing shed jobs, wage growth cooled, and broader risk sentiment remained data-dependent.

November 21, 2025, 7:50 PM EST. On its 40th anniversary, Windows is being pitched as an agentic OS, with AI baked into core experiences and a Copilot-driven future. Microsoft unveiled this vision at Ignite, promising AI controls that could operate the PC for you while sprinkling Copilot features across the OS. But the reaction has been swift and mixed: social posts by Windows chief Pavan Davuluri drew hundreds of remarks, with users calling to return to a simpler, bloat-free UI and better fundamentals. Critics warn the focus on AI risks alienating a billion users and ignores the basics users value. Even as Microsoft touts ambition and developer engagement, many observers worry the path resembles past missteps rather than a clear, usable upgrade.
