Tin Can Untechnologies Inc., the startup behind the $100 landline for kids, is launching a bulk order program to make it easier for schools, sports teams and neighborhoods to get access to the viral product . The program, called Communities , will allow parents and other organizers to place large orders for the landline-inspired, Wi-Fi-enabled device. Discounts, which can be applied for minimum orders of 50 phones, will start at $25 off per phone. Phones can ship directly to the group, such as a school or team, or to each individual family. Read More: The Hottest Phone for Kids Right Now Is a $100 Landline Since the retro-styled device debuted last year, Tin Can has sold hundreds of thousands of units, mostly due to word-of-mouth recommendations, according to the Seattle-based company. It said schools, looking for ways to curb social media addiction, are among the fastest-growing market segments, leading to “overwhelming demand.” “Communities won’t be able to jump the line, but we are in a pretty good spot from an inventory perspective and hopefully soon kids won’t wait long to get their Tin Cans,” Chief Executive Officer Chet Kittleson said in an interview. The company raised a $12 million seed round in December led by Greylock Partners. Kittleson said the funds are being used to build inventory. It also said it is working on a feature that will aid in the discoverability of people you may already know on the network. Orders through the new program can be placed as a single bulk invoice or with a custom discount code each family can use. The device plugs into a wall outlet and includes a speakerphone, speed dial buttons and an answering machine feature. The phone, which comes in assorted bright colors, lets people make free calls between Tin Cans and to emergency services. Users can also pay $10 a month for the ability to ring and receive calls from parent-approved external numbers. The device is available in the US and Canada. The Tin Can is attracting interest at...

Klaus Vedfelt U.S. private sector employment rose by 109K, vs. +85K consensus and +62K in March, according to data released by ADP on Wednesday. Pay for job-stayers increased 4.4% during the month, vs. +4.5% in March. For job-changers, year-over-year pay gains were steady at 6.6%. The ADP National Employment Report is an independent measure of the labor market based on the anonymized weekly payroll data of over 26M private-sector employees in the U.S. " Small and large employers are hiring, but we're seeing softness in the middle," said ADP's chief economist, Nela Richardson . "Large companies have resources to deploy, and small ones are the most nimble, both important advantages in a complex labor environment," added Richardson. Goods-producing industries added 15K jobs in April, while service-providing industries grew their jobs by 94K. Education/health services added 61K jobs. By region, most of the new jobs continued to be created in the South (+34K) and West (+46K).

Lucia Gajdosikova/iStock via Getty Images Introduction The market is looking at Vornado Realty Trust ( VNO ) as if its New York office portfolio has a structural problem. It also assumes VNO's currently depressed earnings are its normal state. That view gets some support from recent results . There's a significant decline in adjusted FFO - from $0.63 to $0.52 YoY. This indicates ongoing leasing friction and higher interest costs. However, Vornado is not just another generic office landlord. Vornado owns high-quality Manhattan assets, and large redevelopment projects in the PENN District, Fifth Avenue, and Park Avenue. Admittedly, the portfolio is exposed to the challenges of commercial real estate. However, it owns a level and quality of properties that still see demand and lower cap rates. High-quality offices do not close - they move. And when they do, they move to top-tier, well-located buildings - like the kind Vornado owns. Vornado's buy thesis doesn't need office demand to recover overall. It just needs earnings to move modestly upward as leasing improves. And it needs the market to start valuing VNO at stabilized NOI, not current NOI. Business Overview Vornado is mainly concentrated in New York. It operates through an Umbrella Partnership REIT (UPREIT) structure - a tax-efficient structure where the REIT sits on top of a partnership that actually owns the real estate. This structure isn't as relevant, however, as the concentration, detailed below: Author From this, we can see that Vornado is mostly a pure play on Manhattan commercial real estate, despite limited diversification elsewhere. Current New York office leases are being signed at initial rents of ~$102 per square foot, which is robust. Vornado also actively redevelops projects and recycles capital, as we note from its recent acquisitions and redevelopment projects. There are two immediate consequences of this strategy. First, near-term earnings get suppressed, with a reduction in reported NOI and EBI...

Good night, sweet prince. | Photo: Vjeran Pavic / The Verge It's not the Mini, it's me. Nearly five years after it launched, the 13 Mini is still the best phone ever made. That hasn't changed; it's just that I changed. And as painful as it is to admit this, after using it again for a couple of weeks, I think it's time to put my iPhone 13 Mini to rest. The Mini is an underdog. An outlier. It's a weird little phone that Apple tried to sell twice, couldn't, and promptly gave up on . If you pick it up after using any modern phone it's laughably small. A tiny baby phone in a world of Maxes and Ultras. But small phones are so nice. I can use the Mini one-handed without fumbling around trying to reach my … Read the full story at The Verge.

Top Stock Picks From Seeking Alpha's New Analysts Scott Gossett | Micron: A Study Of Event Returns, Regime Tailwinds, And DRAM ASP Biography: “Over the past two years, I have studied earnings performance, commodity supply and demand, economic data, and stock behavior across growth industries. I passed CFA Level II, scored in the 90th percentile on CFA Level I, and led study groups in support of those exams. I am currently modeling risk, price behavior, and regime-driven return patterns in growth semiconductor companies to identify patterns with practical investment application. I am actively pursuing employment in the RIA industry or a related investment field. ” Buy | “ Micron Technology, Inc.’s ( MU ) recent weakness was an exaggerated move that was expected based on 2 years of observed forward-return pathing after positive earnings events and was further exacerbated by the Iran war catalyst.

Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images News A number of recent articles have questioned the skills of Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.A ) ( BRK.B ) CEO Greg Abel as an investor, most notably the recent Barron's article by Andrew Bary with the title "Berkshire's New CEO Has No Investment Experience.

Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images News A number of recent articles have questioned the skills of Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.A ) ( BRK.B ) CEO Greg Abel as an investor, most notably the recent Barron's article by Andrew Bary with the title "Berkshire's New CEO Has No Investment Experience. He's Running The $300 Billion Stock Portfolio Anyway." That title is what I call really laying it out. And if you lay things out in that manner, it's a good idea to think the argument through a couple more times. The title is questionable, while the full article is somewhat more measured, though not measured enough for me. I have myself written in the past that no one is likely to equal Buffett's long-term success as an investor, but I must add immediately that the reasons are somewhat different than those laid down in the Barron's article. The reality is that Buffett himself has said as much, basically arguing that he would find it virtually impossible to equal his long-term performance, adding that in his prime he would do well to equal the S&P 500 or beat it by a point or two because Berkshire Hathaway is now so large that it takes an enormous purchase to move the needle. Nevertheless, critics persist in the view that Abel lacks investment experience. In a generally favorable article by Morningstar dated May 1 and entitled "Berkshire Hathaway Enters New Era with Greg Abel at the Helm," Morningstar had the following to say: We believe Abel will be held to a vastly different standard than Buffett ever was—primarily because he will be serving as both an operator (something Buffett was never really all that interested in) and an investor (something Abel has had little experience with) in his new role." Again, image of Abel as a novice investor persists, the key words wrapped in parentheses characterizing him as being called upon to be an investor ( something Abel has had little experience with ). One might jump to the conclusion that this is because Abel is unskilled at selecting investm...
Willie B. Thomas/DigitalVision via Getty Images Post-earnings thesis In my February 2026 article , I rated OSCR a Strong Buy at $13.42, arguing that 2025's elevated medical loss ratio was a backward-looking story, and that 2026 would be the year the market reprices Oscar once financial metrics turn well.

Willie B. Thomas/DigitalVision via Getty Images Post-earnings thesis In my February 2026 article , I rated OSCR a Strong Buy at $13.42, arguing that 2025's elevated medical loss ratio was a backward-looking story, and that 2026 would be the year the market reprices Oscar once financial metrics turn well. This is exactly what happened from the earnings just released today. Oscar's Q1 2026 results showing total revenue of $4.65 billion, a 70.5% medical loss ratio, $679 million in net income, and full-year 2026 guidance reaffirmed without a single downward revision. To me, this is the best Q1 announcement one could hope for - Oscar Health has passed the my threshold of defining a "good quarter" I laid out in February with perfect execution. I am maintaining my Strong Buy rating and updating my price target to $30 by 2026. However, this strong performance is not set in stone, bearing in mind that Q1 has always been a positive quarter because of the industry's seasonality. Every red line held green In my February analysis, I identified three specific conditions that would prove my Strong Buy thesis wrong and affect confidence. Quarterly revenue growth below 45% SG&A expense ratio above 16.5%, and Any reduction in full-year guidance On revenue, Q1 2026 delivered $4.65 billion — a 52.7% year-over-year increase versus Q1 2025's $3.04 billion , even with a 28% increase in insurance premium as management indicated. This places Oscar precisely on the quarterly run-rate consistent with its $18.7–$19.0 billion full-year guidance . The 28% weighted average premium increase flowing directly into the top line, with 3.17 million members providing the volume base to absorb it. OSCR While churn may happen in Q2 onwards commonly for insurance companies, the quarterly average member premium of around $1450, which translate into $5800 annually, will still bring OSCR at $17 billion even with a 10% loss of members in Q2 onwards, which is still close to the lower end of the guidance. Q1 rev...

Artificial intelligence research is plunging further into video games. Alphabet Inc. ’s AI lab, Google DeepMind, announced plans Wednesday to train its technology on Eve Online, a beloved role-playing game set in outer space. As part of the arrangement, DeepMind will take a minority stake in Fenris Creations, an independent Icelandic company formed Wednesday after CCP Games, the creator of Eve Online , repurchased itself from Korean game-maker Pearl Abyss Corp. for $120 million in cash and cryptocurrency. The price was less than half of what Pearl Abyss paid for CCP Games in 2018. Eve Online “requires skills that AI has not yet fully mastered,” said Adrian Bolton, a senior director at DeepMind, such as “long-term planning and continual learning.” Players of the online science-fiction game operate spaceships and join “corporations” where they trade goods, participate in an economy and infiltrate enemies — sometimes as part of protracted heists . The game, which first launched 23 years ago, has been praised for giving players unprecedented power to deceive, scam and practice politics. Along the way, it has cultivated a highly intellectual fan base. All of which made it an attractive source of complex social simulations for researchers at Google’s AI lab, who previously trained their technology on multiple games, ranging from Atari’s arcade classics to Blizzard Entertainment’s StarCraft II . Google DeepMind’s investment is “in the millions” of dollars, according to Fenris Creations Chief Executive Officer Hilmar Veigar Pétursson. Other investors include several Icelandic firms and individuals, he said. In a press release, the company said that in the fourth quarter of 2025 Eve Online generated the second-highest quarterly sales in the game’s history, including a “record-breaking” month in November. “We jokingly say that the final boss for AI in games would obviously be Eve Online ,” Pétursson said. “ Eve is giving insights about our own society and the human condition....
