    No clue if it will be a success, wish them luck, but one thing is for sure in the USA inovation does not stop.

    Google new advertising strategy on Bloomberg is interesting! Complete innovation. For a moment I thought this was a news article.

    HP and best laptop should not be used in the same sentence unless it’s “not the best laptop”

    I really want this to be successful so Windows crashes and burns, but they should have not called the OS Googlebook OS, instead they should’ve just called it Android Desktop

    Given that Google just discontinued their Pixel Tablet after one generation, I will be waiting a few generations before I will even consider this.

    At $899, this must be server-based AI. It does not address privacy with a locally secured AI. Pichai is desparate to retain Google user traffic.

    This is really cool. I use a higher end model made by Asus that came out in Q4 2025. I’m not going to state the model and features and other capabilities but mine also has built in AI and interconnectivity as well and it’s actually not a hard process to integrate it as some may think as described in the video. My experience and expectations with AI have been great and thus far when it comes to the leadership aspect, Gemini is the clear leader overall for me hands down! Always looking forward towards the power of Google/Alphabet/Gemini products and services, I love it.

Crusoe CEO Chase Lochmiller discusses the AI infrastructure company’s nearly $4 billion in fresh funding sending its valuation to almost $31 billion. He also discusses how it will fuel the company’s push to build AI infrastructure spanning data centers, cloud computing and managed AI services. He says Crusoe could eventually enter the public markets and pushes back against growing opposition to data centers, arguing the industry has a “marketing issue” and needs to better communicate its impact on water, jobs and local tax revenue. He joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”
