Apple Fears Trade War Will Jack Up iPhone Prices
Apple told investors about tariff problems in a recent SEC filing. The company makes most products in China, putting it at risk during US-China trade fights. Apple shares fell 6.5% after earnings as investors worry about these issues. Apple faces threats from countries planning to respond with their trade taxes. The company expects more actions to target specific business sectors. These trade battles could hurt supply chains, force factory moves, or change financial results. Tariffs might limit access to rare materials or raise costs, hurting profits. The full impact remains unclear, depending on what the US does next and how other nations respond. Apple might need to find new suppliers, change business deals, stop selling certain...
Lords of the Fallen Boss Declares Modern Audience Myth
CI Games head Marek Tyminski claims he has proof that modern audiences are just a myth. He posted on X that making games for these players leads companies toward failure. His message fits with other culture war statements he often shares online. Tyminski earlier said games became very political, calling this bad for everyone involved. CI Games announced it would stop adding diversity elements to its products. Tyminski shared no research backing his claims about modern players. He might refer to polls he ran asking if players want body type options labeled as male/female instead of type A/B. Lords of the Fallen was recently updated to version 2.0, which greatly improved the game from its original release. The update made the game...
AMD Bails On Samsung Foundry For TSMC US
AMD canceled its 4nm chip orders with Samsung Foundry, likely moving to TSMC instead. The company seems drawn to TSMC's American factories, though the exact reasons remain unclear. This change comes after Samsung struggled with slow performance issues despite offering many products with good production capacity. AMD once worked closely with Samsung on various chips for servers, computers, and graphics cards as part of its two-supplier plan. The partnership first appeared promising, but has fallen apart, hurting Samsung's attempts to build its reputation in the chip industry. TSMC currently makes 4nm chips at its Arizona plant, where AMD will probably go next. AMD has already ordered its Venice server chips using TSMC's advanced 2nm...
Court Slaps Warrants On Kayanja Sodomy Accusers
A court ordered Monday's arrests for three people who promised Moses Tumwine would show up for trial. Tracy Namugga, Patrick Ayebare, and Abdul Kayondo must face consequences because Tumwine missed court. The judge also approved an arrest warrant for Tumwine himself but said the trial would continue without him. Tumwine stands accused with eight others of making false claims about pastor Robert Kayanja. The group allegedly lied about Kayanja committing sodomy. The remaining defendants must start defending themselves against charges that they entered Rubaga Miracle Cathedral to bother Kayanja. Martin Kagoro testified about working at the church with weapons and earning weekly pay. The judge told him to stay on topic. The case began in...
Eddie Mutwe Charged In Burial Robbery Drama
Police charged Eddie Mutwe, who guards National Unity Platform leader Robert Kyagulanyi, with six counts of robbery and assault in Masaka court on Monday. Security forces took Mutwe from Mukono district on April 27 and kept him hidden until General Muhoozi Kainerugaba said Mutwe was in his basement. Armed officers brought Mutwe to court, where he walked with a limp, wearing a blue shirt and rolled-up black jeans. Court officials read charges about crimes from May 2024 at a burial in Manja village. The case links Mutwe with three other Kyagulanyi security team members already in jail since February. They allegedly hurt journalists, broke cameras and phones, stole money, and harmed three people with sharp weapons. The judge sent Mutwe...

EA Axes Codemasters Rally Games Cuts Dozens Of Jobs
EA Sports closed all rally game projects at Codemasters, and many workers will leave or move to other teams at EA. The company paid over a billion dollars for Codemasters in 2021. They wanted to add rally games to their sports lineup, but their plan changed when the games failed to sell enough copies. The World Rally Championship license EA has held since 2020 just ended. EA Sports WRC came out last year but missed sales targets. F1 23 also performed poorly. EA first wanted yearly rally games like their football series. Two games with low sales made them change direction. Some rally experts will join other EA Sports teams instead of leaving. Codemasters started making rally games with Colin McRae Rally in 1998. They created the DiRT...
Unreal Engine 6 Chiplet Revolution Has Gamers Buzzing
