Wells Fargo analyst Colin Langan slapped Tesla with an underweight rating and set a measly $120 price target for the electric car maker. The analyst predicts Tesla will report a disappointing second quarter earnings per share of just 20 cents, missing Wall Street expectations of 41 cents by a huge margin. Lower electric vehicle credits and weaker energy business profits will drag down the company's performance. Langan expects Tesla to bring in $650 million in credits during the second quarter, up slightly from the first quarter's $595 million. Energy business profit margins will likely shrink from 29 percent to 24 percent because of tariffs on Chinese imports.
Tesla's car business margins should bounce back to 13 percent from the...
Last month a GameStop employee in New York made headlines after stapling a receipt directly onto a customer's brand new Nintendo Switch 2 box. The staple went straight through the packaging and damaged the screen inside. GameStop decided to turn this disaster into something positive. The company announced on X that they put the infamous stapler up for auction on eBay. The auction includes a certificate proving the stapler is real and the actual damaged Nintendo Switch 2 that started the whole mess.
GameStop fixed the damaged console and confirmed it works perfectly again. Bidders have already pushed the price to nearly $109,000 with the auction still running until next week. The final price will probably climb even higher before...

The Switch 2 version uses graphics settings that match medium and high PC options rather than basic low settings. Crowd density and volumetric fog run at medium PC quality while ambient occlusion and mirror...
Google plans to put the Tensor G5 chip inside every Pixel 10 phone and tablet. The company switched from Samsung to TSMC for making the processor and expects big performance gains.

Apple plans to replace the Plus model with a brand new iPhone 17 Air that will shake up the entire lineup. The ultra-thin device will sit right between the basic iPhone and the expensive Pro models with some clever tricks up its sleeve. Industry insiders reveal that Apple will pack the Air with 12GB of RAM just like the Pro phones get.

JEDEC has released the LPDDR6 memory standard that promises better performance and efficiency for mobile devices. The new standard replaces LPDDR5 and LPDDR5X memory types that companies have been using. Tech giants will use LPDDR6 across many sectors including AI edge computing, client systems, data centers and cars. The memory standard brings major improvements that will change how devices work. Companies spent years developing the technology through dedicated committee work.
The LPDDR6 memory features a Dual Sub-Channel Architecture that splits each die into two sub-channels with 12 DQs each. The system supports flexible 32B and 64B burst lengths for better performance. LPDDR5 used 16 DQ lines per channel but LPDDR6 cuts that down...
Minecraft creator Markus Persson has stirred up controversy again with his latest comments about game piracy. The outspoken developer has been making waves for thirteen years with his bold statements on social media. Back in 2012, he actually encouraged fans to pirate his game if they could not afford it. He told them to buy it later when they had money and joked about feeling bad. At a 2011 conference, he argued that piracy was not theft because stealing a car leaves one less car while pirating creates another copy.
The gaming world has been buzzing about the Stop Killing Games campaign that wants to prevent developers from shutting down game servers permanently. Electronic Arts recently announced it would shut down all services for...
