    Showdown / Deep Dive: Apple Pencil vs Samsung SPen (missing) Why I Low-Key Hope Apple Brings Apple Pencil Support to Its First Foldable

    Send us a text Samsung did the mistake of confusing an engineering achievement with a strategic purpose by pursuing device thinness as the central KPI.  Why I low-key hope Apple incorporates the Apple Pencil in its first iteration of its foldable device". First this would give Samsung a truly memorable lesson about business strategy, I.e. when you have an advantage, a moat in business, it is crucial to protect it. Number two, listen to your customers. Samsung’s headstrong approach to thinness has long disregarded customers top three requests, 1 and 2, arguably being larger battery and flagship level cameras, and third spen functionality and being embedded in the phone. While the Z Fold 7 has in part addressed the cameras, but still limited likely to how things the device is, the battery remains relatively small and unchanged from multiple generations. And when it comes to the spen, Samsung has gone backward both in the Z Fold 7 and more surprisingly in its Z Tri-Fold which is now a tablet without stylus... something Google did with its recent Pixel tablet and we all know where that is... one iteration and no new models have been released since. Apple, if it brings an optimized battery, the usual strong cameras it is known for and has a degree of Apple Pencil integration, it could well completely overrun Samsung’s moat and take control of the foldable category upon release... effectively leaving Samsung to retreat into Tri-fold territory having squandered its foldable opportunities in pursuit of technical pursuit in the shape of thinness instead of answering customers requests. For once Apple could beat Samsung in all aspects: a more sophisticated device, ensuring customers get what they want, innovate ahead and beyond Samsung. Even Samsung and Android tech die-hard fans, may well have to concede and even switch to Apple’s foldable.

    Special Episode - Apple 2026 Outlook: Apple Stepped Back on AI. That May Be the Smartest Move It Made.

    Send us a text  Apple has quietly retreated and leaned into its strengths, taking criticism and rightly so for its lackluster AI rollout, but don't count Apple out... at all. With rumors of some 30 new devices for 2026, including entering the foldable category from the first time while potentially looking on as the AI economy could well contract given the limited ability at this stage to generate the type of revenue to substantiate the huge investments in model training and data centers, Apple along with its huge cash coffer, could well come out of this as one of the top player and even possibly buy for pennies on the dollar a strong AI outfit. Fans are still very much loyal and there is little doubt that they will be eager to buy what new or refreshed products and services Apple has to offer in 2026.

    The Metaverse Gamble: Mark Zuckerberg’s Costly Digital Retreat

    Send us a text  Meta's name is now almost a distant memory from Zuckerberg's efforts and foray into the metaverse. Whether it overshot thinking the infrastructure such had high speed connections throughout the world, would be enough to get people everywhere to spend time there. But overall, whether due to quality or actual use case(s) caused a lack of participation. Fortunately, given recurring income from its regular services Meta is ok, and now Keefe again spending like a drunken sailor on AI. Has Zuckerberg learned anything from the metaverse experience?

    Google's Massive AI Ecosystem Upgrade: Gemini and NotebookLM Evolution

    Send us a text A significant shift in the artificial intelligence landscape, highlighting Google’s recent surge to a dominant market position. The company has moved beyond its initial struggles to launch a comprehensive AI ecosystem featuring advanced tools for fashion discovery, automated video animation, and proactive digital assistants. A core component of this strategy is the vertical integration of the entire AI stack, allowing Google to control everything from specialized chip design to consumer software like Gmail and NotebookLM. By embedding sophisticated Gemini models across its massive suite of existing products, the tech giant is creating a seamless user experience that is difficult for competitors to replicate. Ultimately, the material suggests that Google is winning the "AI war" by leveraging its unmatched infrastructure and hardware independence to outpace rivals like OpenAI and Nvidia.

    AGI Coming part 2: The End of Human Thinking as Economic Value

    Send us a text  People seem to interpret AGI as AI taking over a la Terminator SkyLink, but what it actually is, is when AI is able to outperform any given expert in a given mostly intellectual field. With AI being fed all written knowledge from books, studies to curriculum of the best universities, it is only logical that this type of AGI will occur sooner rather than later. But what this means is that the knowledge of people applied in research to work settings will no longer be necessary. At this point, with this type of AGI able to effectively plan and forecast better than any given individual, the need for people thinking to solve problems will gradually fade out. This will entail huge disruption and massive loss of white collar jobs as well as other categories of work relying primarily on problem-solving and creativity.

    Samsung Z TriFold: An Impressive First Model... with some Significant Caveats

    Send us a text Samsung's Z TriFold is an almost surprisingly polished product. Yes it is an extension of a set of devices that have been around for 7 iterations already, yet it seems to bring it all together in a sophisticated manner. Except for the lack of spending and a slightly thicker physical edges, the device looks prime time ready. Another achievement by Samsung is that it managed to get this product out before Apple's foldable iPhone. This all but guarantees that Samsung will have bragging rights when Apple releases its foldable, sometime in 2026. Samsung, as we have stated before seems to have taken the lead in the narrative when it comes to innovation. That's a smart move.
