  1. Qualcomm wins estimated $3B/year from Apple

    The treaty of Vers-iPhone... Apple announced a legal truce Tuesday with Qualcomm. The patent lawsuit courtroom drama is over. Then it shockingly defined the relationship, announcing they're biz partners. Again. Qualcomm shares hulked out, surging 23% on news they'll supply iPhones once again. 

    Designed in California. Made in China. Litigated everywhere... The relationship between Apple and Qualcomm is swinging back to love after previous love/hate chapters:

    • 2007 - 2016: Qualcomm provided Apple bits of hardware that helped iPhones destroy BlackBerry, Motorola, Nokia, and a million other now-obsolete gadgets.
    • 2016 - 2019: Apple ditched Qualcomm for Intel. Qualcomm went on a suing rampage, claiming Apple whispered its secrets into Intel's ear and profited off its patented tech.
    • Yesterday: Apple settled — It's paying Qualcomm an undisclosed amount for past misdeeds. And it's switching back to Q for iPhone modems. Lawyers aren't thrilled.
    • The next six years (with option to extend for two more): Based on our rough calculations, that'll add $3B-$5B annually in sales for Qualcomm (that's a big, big deal). 
    THE TAKEAWAY 

    Qualcomm's leverage = 5G... The San Diego-based chip-maker is one of just a few making chips needed for the new 5G network. Intel is reportedly behind (you can't round up from 4.5G), and China's Huawei was labeled a national security threat. Apple needs Qualcomm.

    PS: Right after the deal, Intel announced it's done with 5G. That's one way to rebound from getting broken up with by Apple.

  2. Lyrics: 🎵🎼🎶

    I was a fool to ever leave your side

    Me minus you is such a lonely ride

    The breakup we had has made me lonesome and sad

    I realize I love you 'cause I want you bad,

    hey, hey

     

    I spent the evening with the radio

    Regret the moment that I let you go

    Our quarrel was such a way of learnin' so much

    I know now that I love you 'cause I need your touch,

    hey, hey

     

    Reunited, and it feels so good

    Reunited 'cause we understood

     

    There's one perfect fit

    And, sugar, this one is it

    We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited,

    hey, hey

     

    I sat here starin' at the same old wall

    Came back to life just when I got your call

    I wished I could climb right through the telephone line

    And give you what you want so you will still be mine,

    hey, hey

     

    I can't go cheatin', honey; I can't play

    I found it very hard to stay away

    As we reminisce on precious moments like this

    I'm glad we're back together 'cause I missed your kiss,

    hey, hey

     

    Reunited, and it feels so good

    Reunited 'cause we understood

     

    There's one perfect fit

    And, sugar, this one is it

    We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited,

    hey, hey

    Yeah, yeah, yeah Baby

     

    Lover, lover, this is solid love

    And you're exactly what I'm dreamin' of

    All through the day

    And all through the night

    I'll give you all the love I have with all my might,

    hey, hey

     

    Reunited, and it feels so good

    Reunited 'cause we understood

     

    There's one perfect fit

    And, sugar, this one is it

    We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited,

    hey, hey

  3. Wait a minute!

    Those cars way in the back couldn't see the movie hardly at all. What were they doing there?

     

     

    I actually miss the drive ins. I enjoyed it a few times back in the 1980's at the few that were still around.

    Is there one still playing near you?

    If yesteryear’s Coachella is known for one thing, it’s photos of young people dressed as if the California desert were the only habitable clime in the world.

    But this year’s Coachella, which kicked off yesterday, shows the festival’s increasingly cosmopolitan view of music and art. Exhibit A: Blackpink.

    The four-member, all-female K-pop group performed at Coachella last night—and their set made waves far outside Indio. YouTube livestreamed the performance on the biggest billboard in NYC’s Times Square.

    Haven’t seen Blackpink’s hit on YouTube yet? You might be the only one...  

    • The South Korean group just broke YouTube’s record for most-viewed music video debut with “Kill This Love,” which got 56.7 million views in its first 24 hours. It dethroned Ariana Grande's "thank u, next."
    • The song also set the YouTube record for fastest music video to hit 100 million views (under three days).

    Zoom out: Blackpink’s enormous success is further evidence the $5 billion global K-pop industry has legs well outside its home peninsula.

  5. I never knew this song was about the daughter he lost until today. Poor guy no one should ever have to bury their child. 

    This was George's daughter's favorite song of his.  Jenifer.Strait.  RIP, little girl.

  6. I used to go to our lab at school that looked exactly like that.... oh memories...

    I guess I couldn't have brought you this forum without spending time in there.
