Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang was bullish on the company’s third-quarter results. Looking at the company’s performance, there may be a reason to do so. Nvidia reported third-quarter revenue of $57 billion, an increase of 62% compared to the same period last year. On a GAAP basis, the company’s net income was $32 billion, an increase of 65% year over year. Both sales and profit results exceeded Wall Street expectations. Looking at the earnings picture, we can see that the company is growing rapidly, mainly thanks to its data center business. Nvidia’s data center business generated a record $51.2…
The year is 2030. A “notorious mystery hacker” known as Puppet Master is wreaking havoc on the Internet, infiltrating the so-called cyber brains of several humans and “every device on the network.” After all, Puppet Master is a creation of Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In other words, Puppet Master is what we would today call a government-sponsored hacker, or Advanced Persistent Threat (APT). However, in this case, the “mysterious” hacker has become the villain, wanted on charges of “stock price manipulation, espionage, political manipulation, terrorism, and cyber brain privacy violation.” That’s the basic premise of the Japanese cult classic…
When Anthony Sardain started developing Cabela’s, an AI startup that helps brands automate supplier sourcing, in 2023, he didn’t anticipate that new tariffs would make customers increasingly wary of making products in China. “It’s not just about going into Vietnam and building a supply chain,” Sardain told TechCrunch. “A lot of brands find one supplier and stick with it for the rest of their lives because they don’t want to lose it.” This is especially true for small and medium-sized businesses that do not have a dedicated global procurement department. Sardain claims that Cavela solves this problem through AI agents,…
Raccoons living in cities are showing early signs of domestication, a new study has found.Using photos uploaded to the citizen science platform iNaturalist, researchers found that raccoons in urban environments had shorter snouts than those in rural areas. This difference may be one of several characteristics that constitute a “domestication syndrome,” the scientists said in a study published Oct. 2 in the journal Frontiers in Zoology.Domestic animals usually become less aggressive towards humans over time. They gradually develop relationships in which people provide to them in exchange for resources such as meat and milk from livestock or the labor of…
If you want to know how worried venture capitalists (and Silicon Valley in general) are about legal challenges to AI training using copyrighted material, look no further than the AI music site Suno. Suno, which allows anyone to create AI-generated songs through prompts, announced Wednesday that it has raised $250 million in a Series C round at a post-money valuation of $2.45 billion.

The United States could lose measles-free status as early as January, marking a sustained resurgence of the disease, which was eradicated from the country 25 years ago.Canada was stripped of its measles exclusion status on November 10 after the Pan American Health Organization concluded that recent measles outbreaks in Canada were related and represented ongoing infections lasting more than 12 months. Measles is considered eliminated in a country or region only if there has been no ongoing outbreak for at least one year. Therefore, to maintain ‘elimination status’, travel-induced disease introduction must be stopped before it spreads for 12 consecutive…
On November 10, 2025, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) revoked Canada’s measles elimination status. More than 5,000 cases have been reported since the outbreak began in October 2024. Canada has failed to control the measles epidemic for a quarter of a century. The United States may soon join its neighbors to the north in this disgraceful designation, thanks to a resurgence of the anti-vaccine movement given new influence with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at the helm of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).Measles is the most contagious disease known to science. If 10 unvaccinated people are in…

Cybersecurity researchers have revealed details of a new campaign that combines social engineering and WhatsApp hijacking to distribute a Delphi-based banking Trojan named Eternidade Stealer as part of an attack targeting users in Brazil. “It uses Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) to dynamically obtain a command and control (C2) address, allowing the attacker to update the C2 server,” said Trustwave SpiderLabs researchers Nathaniel Morales, John Basmayor, and Nikita Kazymirskyi in technical details of the campaign shared with The Hacker News. “It is being distributed through a WhatsApp worm campaign, with the attackers now deploying a Python script from a previous…
