Chromebooks debuted 16 years ago with the limited release of Google's Cr-48 , an unassuming compact laptop that was provided free to select users. From there, Chromebooks became one of the most popular budget computing options and a common fixture in schools and businesses. According to some newly uncovered court documents, Google's shift to Android PCs means Chromebooks have an expiration date in 2034. The documents were filed as part of Google's long-running search antitrust case, which began in 2020 and reached a verdict in 2024 . While Google is still seeking to have the guilty verdict overturned, it has escaped most of the remedies that government prosecutors requested. According to The Verge , the company's plans for Chromebooks and the upcoming Android-based Aluminium came up in filings from the remedy phase of the trial. As Google moves toward releasing Aluminium, it sought to keep the upcoming machines above the fray and retain the Chrome browser ( which it did ). In Judge Amit Mehta's final order, devices running ChromeOS or a ChromeOS successor are excluded. To get there, Google had to provide a little more detail on its plans. Read full article Comments

What we know about Savannah Guthrie's missing mother toggle caption Pima County Sheriff’s Department Police in Arizona are working to locate Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, who went missing from her home near Tucson. The Pima County Sheriff's Department says it believes Nancy Guthrie, who was last seen Saturday night, was taken by force, calling her home a crime scene. An all-hands search ensued, including volunteers, drones and other airborne assets. Investigators have been collecting DNA samples at the home and combing through electronic resources. And authorities are asking the public for help, seeking anything that could lead them to Guthrie. Here are key questions about the case as authorities continue their search. Sponsor Message Guthrie was reported missing Sunday A call came in to police around noon on Sunday that Nancy Guthrie, 84, was missing, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said during a news conference Monday. Search and rescue teams worked all day and into the night trying to find Guthrie, Nanos said, adding that federal agencies also contributed, including Border Patrol canine units. But there were signs that Guthrie's disappearance was not a case of an elderly adult wandering off on their own. "We saw some things at the home that were concerning to us," Nanos said, adding that as investigators processed evidence in Guthrie's home, they concluded "that we do in fact have a crime scene, that we do in fact have a crime." Guthrie's family dropped her off at her home around 9:30 or 9:45 p.m. on Saturday, Nanos said. The next morning, someone from Guthrie's church called the family, saying she was absent. Soon afterward, relatives called 911, and police came to suspect foul play in the missing-person case. "All her personal belongings, to include her wallet, cell phone and vehicle were still there, but she was nowhere to be found," according to a public safety alert. As of Monday, Nanos said, "Right now, we don't see this ...

Key Points Rocket Lab is ramping up its rocket launches as it gains more customers. Intuitive Machines is working on plenty of lunar and near-space projects for NASA. Both companies are evolving into diversified space transportation companies. 10 stocks we like better than Rocket Lab › Over the past few years, many space-oriented companies have gone public by merging with special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). Many of those stocks fizzled out after those companies failed to expand their fledgling businesses. However, two resilient SPAC-backed space stocks -- Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) and Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ: LUNR) -- survived that wash-out. Let's see why they're still both worthwhile investments today. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » Rocket Lab Rocket Lab produces reusable orbital rockets. It has launched its flagship rocket, the Electron, 81 times to date for the deployment of over 248 satellites. It plans to launch its second rocket, the Neutron, this year to start carrying much heavier payloads. Its top customers include NASA, the U.S. Space Force, the Swedish National Space Agency, Kinéis, and BlackSky Technology (NYSE: BKSY). It also recently secured an $816 million contract with the U.S. Space Development Agency to design and manufacture 18 satellites for its missile-defense satellite constellation. That contract -- its largest to date -- will diversify its business away from its core launch services. Over the long term, it plans to expand into an "end-to-end" provider of space transportation services. Wall Street expects Rocket Lab to more than double its revenue from $600 million in 2025 to $1.29 billion in 2027 as it turns profitable by the final year. It isn't a bargain at 33 times next year's sales, but it could be a great long-term play on the nascent space transportation market. Intuitive Machines Intui...

Business development companies face pressure on their earnings on account of the recent series of the Federal Reserve policy rate cuts . BDCs have a mostly floating-rate composition of the investment portfolios, despite most loans having [Secured Overnight Financing Rate] floors. With expectations of pressures on NII and dividend coverage metrics from lower rates and elevated levels of payment-in-kind ("PIK") income, the 2026 outlook for BDCs is "deteriorating," according to Fitch Ratings. "While ARCC is yet to show signs of weakness, the fund has been more conservative with their dividends and appears to be slowing down the growth plans," noted Seeking Alpha analyst REITer's Digest . "Private credit is feeling the pain. The immediate impact on publicly traded vehicles has been negative price movement ahead of negative impacts to book value. In the case of ARCC, this means the company's premium price has vanished, and today, the fund trades in line with book value," added the author. On average, Seeking Alpha authors as well as sell-side analysts rate ARCC as Buy. Meanwhile...

Bitcoin dropped to its lowest price level since Donald Trump retook the White House a little more than a year ago, erasing the gains registered by the bellwether digital asset since the election victory of the crypto-friendly US president. The largest cryptocurrency by market value extended its almost four-month slide, falling below $74,424.95, the lowest price of 2025. The token had dropped to that level on April 7 after Trump’s initial tariff plan upended financial markets worldwide. Bitcoin is now down almost 15% for the year. Despite a pro-crypto White House and surging institutional adoption, Bitcoin has plummeted over 40% since rocketing to a record in early October. The rout follows a crippling bout of liquidations on Oct. 10 - triggered by additional comments by Trump on tariffs - that wiped out $19 billion in leveraged token bets that the broader crypto market had yet to recover from. Outside the price tumult in April, Bitcoin has largely stayed above the $75,000 level it reached on Nov. 6, 2024, the day after the reelection of Trump, who promised policies more favorable to the crypto industry. The market has faced persistent downward pressure since the October selloff. Despite a brief reprieve the week of Thanksgiving, with Bitcoin bouncing back nearly 7%, the mood turned sour again in December . Investor concerns have remained elevated amid economic headwinds, while stocks have struggled to rebound amid low risk appetite and persistent AI bubble fears . “Crypto sentiment is hitting rock bottom,” said Augustine Fan , partner at Hong Kong-based crypto options platform SignalPlus. “Volatility has finally moved up after a yearlong move lower as traders scrambled for protection, with markets trading in bear market mode with ATHs now but a distant memory.” While some institutional holders have held firm, retail participation has faded as major long-term Bitcoin holders have dumped billions worth of the asset.

Intel Corp . Chief Executive Officer Lip-Bu Tan said that the computer industry’s memory-chip shortage is likely to persist for at least two years. “There’s no relief as far as I know,” he said during a Cisco Systems Inc. conference Tuesday. Tan said he spoke to two of the key players in memory, who told him, “There’s no relief until 2028.” A massive expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure has fueled demand for memory chips, decreasing the supply available to traditional computers and smartphones. That’s bringing shortages and price hikes — and potentially hurting customers’ appetite for the products. Nvidia Corp. , the leading provider of artificial intelligence processors, will only further drive up demand for memory with its latest Rubin platform and the next generation of products, Tan said. AI is going to “suck up a lot of memory,” he said. Intel is the largest maker of processors for personal computers, which rely on memory to store and manage data. The top memory manufacturers are Samsung Electronics Co. , SK Hynix Inc. and Micron Technology Inc.
