  • 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.
  • DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo Plus with RC 2 Drops to $1,300 (19% Off)
    December 9, 2025, 4:14 AM EST. With Christmas shopping in full swing, DJI is making it easier to gift a high-end drone. The DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo Plus with RC 2 is discounted to $1,300 (about 19% off the usual price). The bundle includes three batteries, a charging hub, spare props, and extra filters, giving you up to around 52 minutes of flight per battery. The drone itself features a 1-inch CMOS sensor capable of recording 4K at 60fps, a 225-degree gimbal for unique angles, and ActiveTrack 360 for reliable subject tracking. A front-facing LiDAR helps prevent collisions, and return-to-home adds safety. Whether you're new to drones or upgrading, this bundle balances premium features with a more approachable price, but the deal may not last-grab it while it's hot.
