  • China Develops Advanced Onboard Power Source for Space-Based Particle Beam System
    November 8, 2025, 8:00 AM EST. China is pursuing a space-based particle beam system, tackling the key hurdle of delivering both enormous power and ultra-high precision. A satellite-mounted accelerator must emit tightly focused pulses with timing errors measured in microseconds and nanoseconds. Historically, the need for megawatt-level power clashed with fine control, forcing a trade-off between raw energy and beam focus. The latest work centers on an advanced onboard power source designed to run and synchronize electromagnetic fields that accelerate charged particles through the system. If successful, the development could accelerate the feasibility discussion around space weapons and kinetic energy delivery, showing how engineers must reconcile extreme power with nano-scale timing to maintain beam quality in orbit.
  • Kroger expands Instacart partnership with AI Cart Assistant to accelerate digital grocery and retail-media play
    November 8, 2025, 7:58 AM EST. Kroger is expanding its partnership with Instacart as the primary delivery partner for about 2,700 stores across 20+ banners, and rolling out AI-powered Cart Assistant for personalized shopping and meal planning on the Kroger iOS app. The move strengthens digital grocery and retail media opportunities while linking brands to shoppers through new AI-enabled experiences. Yet the story remains: profitability in e-commerce amid rising costs and intense competition. The Freshgiving bundle signals value-oriented outreach but is not a near-term catalyst. The AI Cart Assistant could lift near-term engagement, but returns on digital investments remain uncertain. Kroger's outlook envisions revenue growth and earnings through 2028; valuation analyses suggest meaningful upside, though investors should monitor margin pressure and the ROI of digital initiatives.
  • Amazon slashes Apple Watch Series 11 Titanium to all-time low; Ultra 3 offers bigger savings
    November 8, 2025, 7:54 AM EST. Amazon has knocked the Apple Watch Series 11 in Natural Titanium Case with the Milanese Loop down to a new all-time low of $711 shipped (regularly $799). This is the best price we've tracked for the Titanium configuration, delivering a premium, lighter, polished finish for daily wear or work. While base GPS-only models are still scarce, the Titanium option stands out on the wrist. Note that you can grab an Apple Watch Ultra 3 for less-$99 off-making the Ultra a compelling alternative for many buyers.
  • Michael Burry Targets AI Bubble Again with Nvidia and Palantir Plays
    November 8, 2025, 7:52 AM EST. Michael Burry, the investor famous for predicting the 2008 housing crisis, has revived bets against Nvidia (NVDA) and Palantir (PLTR) via put options. The article notes Scion Asset Management's bearish tilt despite the enduring demand for AI and growing data-center capacity. While Burry's track record draws attention, the author remains modestly bullish on both stocks in the near term, arguing timing is key. Filings suggest substantial underlying exposure-roughly $187 million in Nvidia and $912 million in Palantir-raising the potential for outsized gains if shares slump. The piece also cautions that the AI hype could face a speed bump as energy demand and grid constraints loom, complicating the macro backdrop for these tech staples.
  • Google Warns Over Malicious VPN Apps as Global Porn-Ban Measures Expand
    November 8, 2025, 7:38 AM EST. Google has issued a warning about malicious VPN apps that masquerade as legitimate services, underscoring how VPNs can become attack vectors for malware, info-stealers, and other payloads when downloaded from unofficial sources. The debate over porn bans and mandatory age verification in the UK and the broader US has spurred a surge in VPN use, but many users still run into risks from free or untrustworthy providers. The warning highlights the need to install VPNs only from official stores and to avoid free or regionally blocked options, as bad actors exploit the trust around reputable brands. As lawmakers push for stricter controls on internet access, defenders of privacy and internet freedom warn that restrictions often backfire, driving users toward unsafe tools and complicating legitimate security and safety goals.
