  • AI-assisted TB screening expands in LMICs
    November 8, 2025, 5:16 AM EST. AI-assisted TB screening is expanding in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) using mobile X-ray machines and heat-map style AI outputs to flag signs of tuberculosis. TB remains the world's top infectious killer, with millions of deaths annually and a profound radiologist shortage (some countries have fewer than five radiologists and access is centralized in capitals). In many LMICs, AI enables rapid, on-site TB detection-whether in nomadic communities in Nigeria or refugee camps in Chad-without long lab waits. Global Fund and other health groups have invested hundreds of millions into AI-enabled TB screenings, calling it revolutionary, though experts urge more regulations to protect patients. As proponents envision a future where AI accelerates disease detection in hard-to-reach areas, critics call for guardrails and robust data safeguards.
  • Xencelabs Pen Display 16 Lite: 4K OLED drawing, two pens, $799 bundle
    November 8, 2025, 5:14 AM EST. Xencelabs has cut the price of its Pen Display 16 by offering the Lite bundle, keeping the core drawing experience intact. The 4K OLED display remains smooth and color-rich, with 1.07 billion colors and factory-calibrated 99% Adobe RGB. Unlike Wacom, you still get two pens included. The original bundle with Quick Keys Remote and Mobile Easel stand was $1,249 / £1,199; the Lite edition drops to $799 / £769 directly from Xencelabs. What you lose are the on-device buttons and multi-touch gestures; shortcuts still work via your keyboard. The Lite package targets portable use, while the full bundle suits desk setups better. Check today's price on the Xencelabs site and watch for any new deals.
  • Nvidia and Palantir Team Up on AI: Palantir vs Nvidia-Which Stock Is the Better Buy?
    November 8, 2025, 5:12 AM EST. Nvidia and Palantir, two giants in AI, just announced a partnership that layers Palantir Ontology into Nvidia GPUs, promising a tighter, more capable AI stack for customers. The move underscores Palantir's software moat and stickiness from subscription revenue, while Nvidia's growth relies on ongoing GPU refresh cycles. The author argues Palantir should be more sustainable long term, given software integration and recurring revenue, but warns that valuation matters. Palantir trades at a premium to Nvidia, with forward earnings multiples suggesting Nvidia offers a more reasonable price for near-term AI demand, whereas Palantir's premium may contract if growth slows or multiples contract. The takeaway: choose based on strategy and price-Palantir for software durability; Nvidia for scalable hardware demand-provided valuations justify the bets.
  • Blue Origin to Launch New Glenn for NASA's ESCAPADE Mars Mission - Time, Date, and How to Watch
    November 8, 2025, 5:10 AM EST. Blue Origin is set to launch its two-stage rocket, the New Glenn, on its second flight in 2025 from Cape Canaveral for NASA's ESCAPADE mission to Mars. The launch window on Sunday, November 9 runs 2:45 to 5:11 p.m. ET from Launch Complex 36. After liftoff, the booster's first stage will again attempt a drone-ship landing on Jacklyn off the Atlantic. The mission will send NASA's twin ESCAPADE spacecraft to Mars to study solar winds and space weather, while also carrying Viasat telecom tech for future NASA work. A live webcast will stream on Blue Origin's site, with updates posted on X.
  • Big Tech's AI Spending Boosts Nvidia Investors: Capex Soars Through 2026
    November 8, 2025, 4:58 AM EST. Big tech is ramping AI infrastructure spend, a boon for Nvidia. Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft reported earnings with a shared theme: capex will surge to fuel AI load. Bloomberg expects 2025 capex near $360B and 2026 to $439B, but execs say spending will likely exceed estimates. Meta now guides about $71B in capex this year (up from $69B) and expects 2026 capex to outpace 2025, potentially surpassing $100B. Alphabet lifted 2026 capex guidance to $92B from $85B as Google Cloud backlog jumped 46% to $155B, underscoring cloud demand. Microsoft cited a 51% jump in remaining performance obligations to $392B and said data-center capacity remains tight, hinting at stronger capex. All of this supports Nvidia's AI hardware cycle.
