Nvidia's CEO defends his moat as AI labs change how they improve their AI models
Nvidia raked in more than $19 billion in net income during the last quarter, the company reported on Wednesday, but that did little to assure investors that its rapid growth would continue. On its earnings call, analysts prodded CEO Jensen Huang about how Nvidia would fare if tech companies start using new methods to improve their AI models. Specifically, it adds more compute to the AI inference phase, which is everything that happens after a user hits enter on their prompt.

TV Time points to Apple's 'significant power' over developers after being removed from App Store
On November 1, the company announced via a post on X that it was aware the app had been removed from the App Store and that it was "working with Apple to get it back ASAP." After TechCrunch reached out to TV Time and Apple about the app's removal, the app was reinstated on the App Store. TV Time has long been operated by entertainment analytics platform Whip Media Group following its acquisition in 2016 of the French startup, formerly known as TVShow Time.

Microsoft beefs up Windows security with new recovery and patching features
In the aftermath of the devastating CrowdStrike outage this July, Microsoft vowed to do better even though it insisted that the event was an aberration. Evidently unwilling to take chances (or risk further hits to its credibility), the company on Tuesday, during Microsoft Ignite 2024, shared how it's making changes to Windows to prevent similar incidents. Microsoft says it's also testing a way to let security products like antivirus software run outside of "kernel mode," which means they'll be able to run similar to most Windows applications.

Google faces call from DuckDuckGo for new EU probes into tech rule compliance
Alphabet's Google faced a call on Wednesday for additional investigations into its compliance with landmark European Union rules aimed at reining in Big Tech. Privacy-focused internet search engine DuckDuckGo, which research company Statista said had a global market share of 0.54% in January this year, urged the European Commission to open three additional investigations. Under the EU's Digital Markets Act adopted in 2022, Google and six other tech companies are required to make it easier for users to switch to rival services and banned from favouring their products on their platforms, among other obligations.

Benchmark invests $19M in New Lantern, a smarter way for radiologists to use AI
Shiva Suri gained a unique perspective into how radiologists work when he quarantined and shared a home office with his mom, a well-regarded radiologist. Suri (pictured above, lower center) noticed that his mom's workday revolved primarily around two software systems: PACS, or the digital library of medical images where doctors view scans; and the reporting software where she would translate those images into actionable diagnoses. Switching between tools felt unnecessarily clunky, so New Lantern combined these tools into one platform.

Microsoft will soon let you clone your voice for Teams meetings
Microsoft plans to let Teams users clone their voices so they can have their sound-alikes speak to others in meetings in different languages. At Microsoft Ignite 2024 on Tuesday, the company revealed Interpreter in Teams, a tool for Microsoft Teams that delivers "real-time, speech-to-speech" interpretation capabilities. Starting in early 2025, people using Teams for meetings will be able to use Interpreter to simulate their voices in up to nine languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish.

OPINION - World War Three imminent? No, but the West is about to sell out Ukraine in a world-historic betrayal
As Vladimir Putin threatens nuclear escalation and Joe Biden promises to send more military equipment to Ukraine, there are warnings of “World War Three” on all sides. The present tensions are mostly a choreographed show of strength – in Washington and Moscow – to fill the time before Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20. Having so often delayed the despatch of weapons or dithered over the use to which they might be put by Volodymyr Zelensky, Biden seeks to salvage some personal honour before he creeps from office and to give the Ukrainian president marginally more negotiating power when the talks begin.

For Trump, it’s not a “downside” that his Cabinet picks “will not be sufficient stewards of these agencies,” Stewart said on the latest episode of his Weekly Show podcast. The point is that they are trying to “dismantle” the agencies themselves. “When we say, I don’t think that Linda McMahon will be an efficient steward of the Department of Ed
