It’s official, sort of. With the US presidential election now (just about) over and a clear winner declared in the contest, markets and the world can turn their attention to what comes next. Regardless of the direction things take from here, though, it’s safe to say that the vote was a very big deal. Serendipitously, […]

Despite the stock market being a voting machine on what the future is expected to look like, the videos of people making lightsabers and satellite internet deploying also provide reassurance that despite the pandemic, people are still hard at “work” making interesting things happen in the world (and outside of it).

In a “normal” world, fall would be the start of the blockbuster movie launches that viewers expect to enjoy as the weather turns cooler.

It’s funny that gravity is often associated with apples falling. This week, we’re seeing Apple as the symbol of defying gravity.
