Gorilla arm who? | Image: Framework Every time we review a Framework laptop , we find familiar pros and cons. They're truly upgradable, incredibly repairable, but we always wish the battery lasted longer. We always wish the build quality were top notch. Today, Framework is announcing what could be the answer: the Framework Laptop 13 Pro. It's the company's first laptop to be fully machined out of blocks of 6000-series aluminum, its first with a haptic trackpad, and its first with a fully custom 13.5-inch, 3:2, 2.8K, variable refresh rate (30-120Hz) IPS screen that comes color-calibrated right out of the box.

Jonathan Kitchen Artificial intelligence ( AIQ ) ( AIEQ ) is driving meaningful gains in U.S. labor productivity—but not through the job displacement many economists feared, according to a new analysis from Morgan Stanley Research released Tuesday. According to analyst Katy Huberty, industries with high AI exposure contributed 1.7 percentage points of the 2.4 percentage point growth in output per employee across the U.S. in 2025. That marks a significant acceleration from just 0.7 percentage points in 2024. The more surprising finding: these productivity gains are coming from faster output growth rather than workforce reductions. “Trends in employment growth have been similar across industries with different degrees of AI exposure, while output growth has accelerated more rapidly in industries that we have identified as having higher AI exposure,” Huberty wrote in the note. Tech-oriented sectors have led the charge, posting the strongest acceleration in both output and labor productivity. The dynamic suggests companies are using AI tools to produce more with their existing workforce rather than trimming headcount to achieve efficiency gains, offering early evidence that AI adoption may follow a more benign path than previous waves of automation, at least in the near term.

Remember when Framework made the first laptop where you can easily upgrade its entire internal video card in three minutes flat ? The company's getting into the external graphics game, too. As promised last August , you'll be able to turn the Framework Laptop 16's GPU modules into external ones instead. Or, you can plug in a desktop graphics card (or network card, or other PCIe cards) for more power than most laptops ever dream of having, with eight lanes of PCI-Express bandwidth. Framework's calling it the OCuLink Dev Kit, because it uses the OCuLink standard to transmit data between your CPU and the external GPU, and because the company wa … Read the full story at The Verge.

If you have a wireless keyboard with a touchpad that lets you control your PC from across the room, chances are it's a Logitech K400 . Framework CEO Nirav Patel is betting that you hate using it - enough to buy Framework's spin on the idea when it arrives later this year. He says that Logitech's keyboard is precisely the reason he's building a new one: "It's that Logitech keyboard that everybody owns and nobody likes," he tells me. "Everybody's got the same keyboard, nobody likes that keyboard, and so we figured we can build a better keyboard." When I heard him say this in an interview, it was a joy . That's partly because Patel is one of … Read the full story at The Verge.

Alones Creative/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis As capital floods into the space sector ahead of a potential SpaceX IPO, attention has shifted sharply, almost aggressively toward the next big thing. Since my last coverage Rocket Lab's ( RKLB ) stock performance was muted and now RKLB is caught in the crosscurrents of rising IPO speculation and capital rotating across the space sector. However, behind the scenes, fundamentals continue to improve as the company remains busy building up its order book and margins while positioning itself in the defense and space infrastructure businesses. Vertical Integration + Backlog Expansion is a Moat Rocket Lab is expected to deliver a topline of $185 million-$200 million in Q1 with GAAP margins between 34%-36% and non-GAAP margins between 39%-41%. Rocket Lab can face expenses from operations of $120 million-$126 million and non-GAAP expenses from operations fall between $106 million-$112 million. Along with income from interest of $8 million, Rocket Lab may hit EBITDA losses of $21 million-$27 million with the share count at 605 million. This stock total has 46 million Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Shares. I am factoring the conversion of 23 million shares from notes into the share count. Compensation from stock ranges from $16 million-$18 million, amid Rocket Lab schedules the peak of research spending for Neutron during the period. In my view, Rocket Lab may have a shift in spending from research into inventory throughout FY26. Thus, cash consumption may continue to persist due to Rocket Lab Neutron development investments. Beyond that, there can be a boost in Electron launches and HASTE missions. Here, topline from the Space Systems segment mixes with topline from the Launch Services segment. Even with the retirement of the Trinity equipment line that eliminates indebtedness, cash flow will remain at a loss. Q4 Earnings Moreover, I see that Rocket Lab works on an integrated manufacturing and transporta...

Newly unsealed emails reveal the sneaky ways that Amazon colludes with rivals to raise prices across the Internet on "everything from diapers to clothing to furniture," California Attorney General Rob Bonta alleged in a press release Monday. "Amazon and a competitor will knowingly stop price matching each other, so that one retailer can increase its price, and the other retailer can match to the new, higher price," Bonta alleged, pointing to one of three such schemes described in Amazon emails. "Thus, both competitors start selling at a higher price, increase their profits, and consumers pay more." The emails surfaced in a lawsuit that the state of California filed in 2022, accusing Amazon of wielding its tremendous influence as the world's largest retailer to pressure vendors into increasing prices on rival e-commerce websites or removing products from cheaper platforms entirely. According to The New York Times , these emails offer "a rare behind-the-scenes look at how Amazon operates its $2.66 trillion empire." Read full article Comments

mustafaU/iStock via Getty Images By Anton Kharitonov Over the past few weeks, Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) has moved out of a period of pressure and into a recovery phase, although its price action is still being shaped not only by crypto-specific factors but also by the broader macro backdrop. After pulling back to the $75.6K area, the cryptocurrency is once again testing resistance near $76.9K, supported by demand from institutional investors. Institutional capital remains the main source of support. ETF flows, large-scale buying, and capital reallocation toward BTC are driving the current price structure rather than retail participation. This reflects a broader regime shift: Bitcoin is becoming less dependent on traditional crypto cycles and is increasingly behaving like an alternative macro asset sensitive to liquidity, interest rates, and large-fund positioning. The macro environment remains the second most important factor after ETF demand. The Fed’s hawkish tone, the prospect of higher rates for longer, and Bitcoin’s sensitivity to geopolitical risk continue to shape short-term prospects. Geopolitical tensions work in both directions: they raise risk aversion, but they also increase interest in BTC as an alternative asset amid uncertainty in commodity markets and inflation expectations, even if its safe haven properties are still debatable. A further positive factor is the gradual decline in regulatory uncertainty. The convergence between SEC and CFTC approaches, along with broader access to digital asset infrastructure from traditional banks, is reducing the structural regulatory discount on BTC. This is not a short-term catalyst, but it does create a more favorable foundation for continued institutional inflows. As long as Bitcoin remains firmly above $75K, the outlook stays constructive, and bulls may attempt another test of the stated resistance. A breakout above it would open the way toward $78.4K-79K. On the other hand, a loss of $75K would raise the risk of a b...

The stock market is always volatile, but investing in dividend stocks can help provide some stability. As long as you're investing in quality dividend stocks, you know your payouts are coming as expected. The keyword is "quality" because there are plenty of instances where a company has to cancel or reduce its dividend because it could no longer afford it. If you're looking for dividend stocks you don't have to worry about, the following three options are worth considering. All three companies are Dividend Kings , which means they have increased their annual dividend for at least 50 consecutive years. Being Dividend Kings means these companies have made it through recessions, wars, and everything in between, and still managed to keep their streaks going. It's hard to argue against that consistency. Continue reading
