Wake. If you're lucky, that is morning's first task. Wake. Not rolling over onto your side, not recalling the thoughts that have stayed the night, like a tryst who cannot sense they're meant to leave before light breaks through on the pane. Leave that to phones - light breaking through, remembering everything. Wake - what a herculean task! To wake first, and not check your phone. Everything after that? A form of grace, if you believe in that sort of thing.

"It's progressing really well," Howard told the magazine. "The majority of the studio's on VI, but I'll say this: We always overlap. So, we're very used to overlapping development. And we have long pre-productions on things so that we feel good about them. And it's a process. We all wish it went a little bit faster - or a lot faster - but it's a process that we want to get right."

After strong performance in 2025, the index is showing signs that future gains will depend less on liquidity and more on earnings quality and valuation resilience. "The market has shifted from being liquidity-driven to earnings-sensitive," said Saqib Iqbal, market analyst at Becoin.net. "With multiple rate cuts behind us and macro data softening, Nasdaq performance is now tied to profit growth and cash-flow resilience, rather than just cheap money."

The velocity of change alone, says Constantine Alexandrakis, CEO of Russell Reynolds Associates, is unlike anything he has seen in his nearly twenty years at the executive recruitment firm. "Our clients are moving at a frenetic pace," he says. "Every company is driving transformation to either meet the moment or take advantage of it." The issues aren't new-trade, geopolitics, technology-but the intensity and overlap are. "The convergence of all these forces has made transformation ubiquitous and urgent," Alexandrakis says.

At the time I had been working in the Technology/Software world for 5 years, after a stint doing Interaction/UI/UX work in agencies. While agency work has a lot of positive aspects to it, I didn't think I was a good fit for it. I found the relationship and ultimately sense of ownership with a solution very fleeting, since in essence the engagement with the client had a time stamp on it, after which you simply started working on something else.

When Jennifer Austin met Molly in second grade, they quickly became best friends. They giggled through classes until the teacher separated them, inspiring them to come up with their own language. They shared sleepovers and went on each other's family vacations. But they gradually drifted apart after Austin's family moved to Germany before the girls started high school. Decades passed before they recently reconnected as grown women.

"I remember waiting every Friday for the officials to call our family's name," Roman recalls. "When they finally did, it felt like winning the lottery."

And while it is true that Jobs was as charismatic as Clooney and as manipulative as Machiavelli, the legend we helped him construct served many purposes beyond pumping up his own ego. He was an irresistible force who knew that in order to bring to market the amazing technological wonders that bubbled in his imagination, he also had to become the Svengali of the digital revolution that was to be the hallmark of his generation.

"It's mainly down to how changeable it is, and also the fact that we can't plan anything or rely on it," he said. "People are obsessed because there's always something outdoors that they're thinking about doing, whether it be tomorrow, the weekend or a big event coming up. "I think the fact that it varies so much across the island as well. It's a very small island. What I post in Carlow, and it'll be blue skies and sunshine, and I get all these messages from the west of Ireland saying, 'It's not like that here'."

Technology offers significant benefits across virtually all aspects of modern life, including improved communication, exponential growth in information access, increased productivity and automation, and advances in healthcare, resulting in extended longevity.

Adverse effects are always risks, but still, the benefits for humans far outweigh the risks.

There are 1,135 billionaires living in the U.S., sitting on a collective nest egg of $5.7 trillion-but a select three uber-wealthy entrepreneurs make up nearly a fifth of the honeypot. Together, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg account for nearly $1 trillion, amassing their fortunes through successful tech ventures. But few of these upper-class individuals are giving back through philanthropy-about a quarter of The Giving Pledge signers have known donations of less than $1 million in the last 10 years. Many are funneling billions through their own foundations in a "stealth giving" manner.

Some of the richest people in the world - Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg - made their fortunes in Silicon Valley. However, a new report in the Wall Street Journal suggests that most U.S. billionaires did not amass their wealth in tech. Instead, it's the banking and finance fields that have produced most of the country's super-rich. According to data shared with the WSJ from wealth intelligence company Altrata, there were 1,135 billionaires in the U.S. last year, up from 927 in 2020.
