Google tells shareholders that YouTube Shorts is doing great, don’t worry about TikTok! – TechCrunch

Alphabet, the parent company to Google, announced its first quarter earnings this evening, and for the creator industry, that means a slew of news and updates about YouTube. YouTube is known as a particularly ripe ground for content monetization, since creators earn a 55% share of ad revenue, rather than paltry payouts from an ever-dwindling creator fund (looking at you, TikTok). Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google and Alphabet, reported that the number of YouTube channels that made at… Source link

This week in Bidenomics: Almost everything is great

If jobs and wages told you everything you need to know about the U.S. economy, we’d be in a golden age. Employers added 431,000 new jobs in March, a muscular pace of hiring that shows no sign of abating. Job creation is averaging 562,000 new jobs per month so far this year, and 565,000 new jobs per month since President Biden took office in 2021. At this rate, the economy will exceed pre-pandemic levels of employment by summer. The unemployment rate dropped from 3.8% to 3.6% and is also on… Source link

Is Apple stock a great buy on weakness?

Apple’s stock (AAPL) looks like a good buy on weakness, argues one strategist. “We actually bought Apple over the last couple of weeks. I mean the name has come down tremendously. So I think you can go in and buy that name. They have such a strong balance sheet and they have a tremendous cash position,” said Crossmark Global Investments chief markets strategist Victoria Fernandez on Yahoo Finance Live. To be sure, Apple’s stock hasn’t been immune to the broader pullback in tech stocks this… Source link

Google Calendar’s ‘Appointment Schedule’ Is Good, Not Great

Appointment Slots, the corporate offering, looks dated compared to Appointment Schedule. It’s also much less configurable—you can’t add custom question fields, for example, and there’s no way to automatically add a video call. So, to review: Individual Google users, basically anyone with an @gmail.com email address, can pay to upgrade to Google Workspace Individual. This includes the Appointment Schedule feature, which compares reasonably well with Calendly. Business Google users,… Source link

TCL 6-Series Google TV review: a great Mini LED TV at a good price

TCL’s first Google TVs were supposed to be a triumphant flex for the second most popular TV manufacturer in the US. Long known for its easy-to-use Roku TVs, TCL has been trying to push the message that it’s adopting a platform-agnostic approach and will offer sets with software from either Roku or Google. (The company has already released many Android TV models internationally.) So with the latest update to its 6-Series — model name R646 — TCL set out to blend its best TV… Source link

Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen may be NFL’s next great rivalry

When it was all over, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes sprinted across the field to pay it forward. He weaved his way past the celebrating embraces of backup quarterback Chad Henne and linebacker Frank Clark, dropping his helmet at the 35-yard line and curving his trajectory to a person who had earned a shared private moment in the most public of places.  Normally, this singular path in the euphoric chaos of victory delivers a player to an embrace with family or a cherished… Source link

Matt LaFleur was great hire for Packers

The highest winning percentage of any coach with at least 50 NFL games belongs to Guy Chamberlin, who won .784 percent of his games from 1922-27. John Madden is the modern-era leader at .759. Only four coaches ever are over 70 percent.  Matt LaFleur’s winning percentage sits at .800 through 45 games. After the Arizona Cardinals‘ loss on Monday night, LaFleur also leads the team that owns the No. 1 seed in the NFC with four games to go. He has been really good.  When we talk about the Green… Source link

Dolphins putting together a great story

At the end of October, the Miami Dolphins were 1-7. They’d lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons. They were unquestionably bad. In early December, the Dolphins have a path to the playoffs. Seriously. The craziest NFL story that hasn’t gotten enough attention yet is happening in Miami. The Dolphins have won five in a row after a 20-9 win over the New York Giants on Sunday. Beating the Daniel Jones-less Giants isn’t a major feat, and Miami’s schedule during its winning… Source link
