Tech stars from the 90s reborn: Nokia, Dell, Cisco surge on AI

The Japan Times

They were all-stars of the dot-com era before fading into the background as the bubble burst and a new generation of tech darlings rose to the forefront. But Dell, Nokia and Lenovo are back with a vengeance thanks to the unrelenting artificial intelligence spending boom. A rush to build out AI infrastructure has led to soaring demand for everything from computer servers to storage components, networking gear and even legacy chips. That's resulted in a frenetic rally in stocks around the world with any sort of exposure to those areas. The latest surge has swept up iconic tech names from the 1990s, including many of the so-called "Four Horsemen" -- a group considered the equivalent of the Magnificent Seven cohort during that era. In addition to Dell, Nokia and Lenovo, high fliers from the dot-com days that have caught fire again this year include Micron Technology Inc., Intel Corp., Texas Instruments Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc.

On this episode of Don't @ Me, Dan Dakich slams former SportsCenter anchor Cari Champion for claiming Caitlin Clark receives blatant favoritism from the WNBA. We live in an age where cameras are everywhere, and when someone starts throwing around accusations of wild behavior -- y'know, like allegations of shoving a ball girl at the French Open -- there will probably be some video evidence to prove or disprove that claim. Well, lucky us, we have an example of this. Spain's Rafael Jodar had just won a five-set match over American Alex Michelsen, but the talk afterward had to do with claims that he shoved a ball girl .

Of course, teams coming into Game 5 with a 3-1 lead are historically almost guaranteed to move on to the Stanley Cup Final; the Canes are not going to get ahead of their skis. Hurricanes forward Jackson Blake, who scored the OT-winner to sweep the Philadelphia Flyers and send Carolina to the conference final, talked about the need to focus on the game tonight and not start thinking ahead to the Western Conference Champion Vegas Golden Knights. It's exciting for sure, Blake said.

As the two New York Giants teammates passed each other, they embraced. The Giants want the world to know there is no beef inside their locker room in general, or between the two players in particular despite the fact the starting quarterback supports Trump and the blossoming defensive lineman has an obvious distaste for the president. But there's a catch amid all this understanding: While these two guys may not dislike each other, they do not agree. Giants linebacker Abdul Quarter says there is no beef between him and quarterback Jaxson Dart after he made an appearance at an event featuring President Donald Trump.

When you surround yourself with college football and make it part of your livelihood, you will no doubt hear and read every narrative under the sun with regard to the world's greatest sport. Most of them don't even deserve a second look and are baseless conspiracy theories, but a few exist in that uncanny realm between fact and fiction. One that has caught my eye comes from the perpetrators of the SEC is washed crowd, more specifically those who call out the program that has ruled the conference for the first half of this decade, the Georgia Bulldogs. I can't tell you how many times I've seen fans on social media and even college football talking heads run with the narrative that the Dawgs have lost their edge since paying players became legal .

Late in Thursday night's Cubs-Pirates game with home plate umpire Dan Bellino, who has 15 years of MLB service, made one of the most baffling foul tip calls you're ever going to see. With the count 2-1 on Seiya Suzuki, Pirates pitcher Yohan Ramirez delivered an off-speed pitch off the inside of the plate that had Suzuki nearly offering at it before pulling the bat back. Bellino says, to which Suzuki instantly pleads that he didn't tip the ball. Bellino will hear nothing of the sort.


The GOP's Attacks on James Talarico Are Straight Out of the Incel Handbook

WIRED

The GOP's Attacks on James Talarico Are Straight Out of the Incel Handbook Claims about low testosterone and false accusations of veganism might play well to the online far right, but will they win an election? Democratic US Senate candidate James Talarico speaks in Houston, Texas. On Tuesday, with Donald Trump's endorsement and the backing of the MAGA faithful, scandal-ridden Texas attorney general Ken Paxton defeated incumbent US senator John Cornyn in a runoff primary to claim the Republican nomination for that seat. He then quickly set about painting his general-election opponent, Democratic Texas state representative James Talarico, as insufficiently masculine. "My opponent is the most extreme radical that Democrats have ever nominated," Paxton said in his victory speech.
