A day after Microsoft (MSFT) confirmed it was hacked by the cybercrime group Lapsus$, Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang called his own company’s experience with the hackers a “wake-up call.” In an interview during Nvidia’s GTC Conference, which runs from March 21 to March 24, the CEO said the late February hack proved the company needs to move to a “zero trust” security posture and that it has the technology to do it. “Zero trust” means Nvidia will treat all employees as a potential… Source link

On Sunday reports emerged that Russia asked China for military and economic support for its war in Ukraine. Worse yet for the West, China reportedly seemed open to backing Russia. The news kicked off an intense week of diplomacy and economic brinkmanship that culminated Friday in a nearly two-hour call between President Joe Biden and President Xi Jinping of China. But, according to both sides, the big questions appear to remain unanswered. An official White House summary of the meeting said the… Source link

By Jonathan Stempel (Reuters) – Berkshire Hathaway Inc on Friday urged the rejection of four shareholder proposals recommending that it replace Warren Buffett as chairman, report on its plans to handle climate risk and reduce greenhouse gases, and improve diversity. The company, run by Buffett since 1965, also said the 91-year-old received $373,204 in compensation for 2021, down from $380,328 a year earlier, comprising his usual $100,000 salary plus personal and home security. Though Buffett’s… Source link

The entrance to the Activision Blizzard Inc. campus is shown in Irvine, California, U.S., August 6, 2019. REUTERS/Mike Blake Activision Blizzard (ATVI) reported its Q4 2021 earnings after the bell on Thursday, falling well short of analysts’ estimates on the top and bottom line. The report will be the company’s first since Microsoft (MSFT) announced it will acquire the video game giant for $68.7 billion in January. Here are the most important numbers from the report compared to Wall Street’s… Source link

(Bloomberg) — Jeremy Grantham got the market’s attention with his “super bubble” call on U.S. stocks. Now he wants to get an even more alarming and urgent message out, one his critics may find harder to accept. Most Read from Bloomberg The “Goldilocks” period of the past 25 years is ending, and the world needs to prepare for a future of inflation, slower growth and labor shortages, the renowned value investor said in a Bloomberg “Front Row” interview. “There’s only a certain… Source link

The spirit of instant replay reviews is plays should only be overturned if there is conclusive evidence the call on the field was wrong. NFL officials don’t often follow that.  On Saturday, it certainly wasn’t conclusive that the ground helped Titans defensive back Amani Hooker grab an interception. It was so close, you could watch the replay dozens of times and still not know. Two people could watch the replay and have differing opinions.  It was really close. But ultimately, Hooker’s play… Source link

Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs is a phenomenal divisional round matchup. You can tell by the point spread.  The Chiefs opened as 2.5-point favorites at BetMGM, and that moved to -1.5 by Wednesday. Think about that: The team that has Patrick Mahomes, has played in the past two Super Bowls and has won 10 of 11 is seeing the betting line move against them.  Just because it’s a big game — and this could well be the biggest game of the entire season before the Super Bowl — doesn’t mean… Source link

Tom Brady‘s hard enough to beat in the playoffs as is.  When he’s getting help from officials? Good luck. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers started Sunday’s wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles with a touchdown on their opening drive. They may not have gained a first down if not for a questionable roughing-the-passer penalty on Eagles defensive end Derek Barnett. As Brady released an incomplete pass on Tampa Bay’s second play from scrimmage, Barnett hit the Bucs quarterback.  It wasn’t late…. Source link

“Relentless” was a word Joe Judge used as an anchor in the first media conference of his New York Giants coaching career. It was the kind of buzzy, coach-speak term that rolls off the tongue well in interviews and can be easily plastered somewhere in the team facility. If Ted Lasso has “Believe,” Joe Judge has “relentless.” Relentless in losing … in making mistakes … in overseeing decline.  They’re relentless reminders that fruit of the Bill Belichick coaching tree is usually long… Source link

The Dallas Cowboys entered Sunday leading the NFL in yards and points per game.  The Arizona Cardinals did not care.  In a matchup of two teams with their playoff dates secured, the Cardinals stymied a previously red-hot Cowboys offense in a 25-22 road win. They also caught a late break when officials missed a fumble that could have given Dallas a chance to tie or take the lead in the game’s final moments.  Mike McCarthy couldn’t challenge late missed fumble With 2:44 remaining in regulation… Source link
