Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin KIND Snacks founder Daniel Lubetzky has announced on Shark Tank that he’s investing in egg white protein snacks company Quevos through his own family office Equilibra.

The billionaire businessman, who sold his nutrition bar company to the confectionery market incumbent Mars & Wrigley in a reported $5 billion deal last year, notes how Quevos has experienced stellar growth in recent years like no other in the category. During the 2019-2020 period alone, Quevos grew 400% in sales and expanded from 250 to 1100 retailers despite pandemic-induced challenges in brick-and-mortar stores that have made it difficult for many emerging brands to gain visibility.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin There’s only a week left of Overwatch 2 Season 2, which means there’s not a lot more time to unlock all the Battle Pass rewards if you haven't already done so. Blizzard is giving you a bit of a helping hand by offering double Match XP until February 6. If you’re on the premium track of the Battle Pass, I’d wager you want to get to level 80 to make sure you secure that rad Zeus Mythic skin for Junker Queen.

Passersby walk by a Samsung Electronics retail shop in Seoul. [News1] Samsung Electronics reported a better-than-expected net profit last year on a one-off that balanced weakness in most businesses. Net profit rose by 39.5 percent on year to 55.7 trillion won in 2022, far exceeding the market consensus of 36.5 trillion won. Operating profit dropped by 16 percent to 43.4 trillion won, falling short of the market consensus of 46.3 trillion won. Sales hit an all-time high of 302.2 trillion won, up 8.09 percent on year, but coming in below the market expectation of 305.5 trillion won. The upbeat net is related to a one-time gain from settlement of tax-related debts. “Following a reform in tax law, we settled deferred tax liabilities for subsidiaries, which resulted in negative expense balances,” explained Ben Suh, executive vice president at Samsung Electronics during a conference call Tuesday. “But this is a one-off gain in the financial statement and this doesn’t necessarily … [Read more...] about Samsung Electronics reports strong 2022 on a one-off gain

For an audience eager for more performance, this was a welcome addition. Yet these latest macOS machines are not all they seem.

For all the gains Apple has made, arguably, the competition has made the same gains.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Google’s Pixel Tablet is set to be released this year - and an unveiling of the hardware at I/O 2023 in early summer feels the most opportune time. What do we know about the Tablet and how Google hopes to make it stand out in the world of Android tablets ? First up is the system on chip, and Google will be bringing the Tensor G2 chipset used in the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro . This sacrifices ultimate power to provide a better experience around machine learning and AI routines. The power of the Tensor system is best illustrated with the image manipulation on the Pixel handsets. Given the Pixel Tablet is not expected to ship with a cutting-edge top-spec camera, this may not be as noticeable. But areas such as automatic translation, subtitle generation, and voice-to-text transcription all benefit from the Tensor system, and these should all be present in the system. As hinted there with the camera, the Pixel … [Read more...] about The Challenge Facing Google’s Courageous New Pixel

The Biden administration is moving toward cutting off major Chinese telecommunications company Huawei from U.S. suppliers, citing national security concerns, according to The Wall Street Journal. The administration is considering stopping Trump-era license grants allowing American companies to sell technology to Huawei that they don’t believe poses a national security risk, according to the WSJ. The potential move comes as the U.S. aims to counter Chinese commerce amid increased diplomatic tensions between the two nations. In 2019, the Trump Department of Commerce added Huawei to the department’s “Entity List,” a list of foreign companies considered national security threats, according to a department press release at the time. Huawei’s placement on the Entity List had an impact as the company failed to crack the top five handset phone providers in China in 2022, according to International Data Corp.
