#Google Play Store #antitrust case: after Epic won the jury trial in December, the judge in the case just said he will be issuing sanctions in the coming weeks. Pretty fast by federal court standards.

If Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level, then Apple devices will be banned at my companies. That is an unacceptable security violation.

#Nvidia just overtook #Apple as the world's second most valuable company. Right ahead of Tim Cook's hugely anticipated WWDC keynote on Monday, where we should get a clue as to Apple's own plans for generative AI.

And there it is: "Our production shipments will start in Q2 and ramp in Q3, and customers should have data centres stood up in Q4." So this year we will see Blackwell revenue? “We will see a lot of Blackwell revenue this year.”

#Nvidia blows the doors off again... Investors are going to be listening closely to Jensen Huang on the earnings call to see if he gives any detail on the ramp for the new Blackwell AI chips. These results driven by the current Hopper chips. 427% growth in data centre revenue.
