A Gaming Tablet With Liquid Cooling Actually Makes Sense
THE SO WHAT
A liquid‑cooled gaming tablet from Red Magic is a bet that mobile devices will be pushed to sustained, console‑class loads — not just bursty sessions. If you build for mobile, assume longer play and compute windows and design around thermal throttling, battery wear, and in‑hand comfort.

Tech & InnovationMacBook Neo vs. XPS 13: The golden age of ultraportables is here
Ultraportables are now a solved hardware category—your differentiation as a builder will live in software, battery-aware workloads, and ecosystem lock-in, not raw specs. Treat these machines as the new baseline client for AI-heavy apps and assume your users will have “good enough” local compute by default.
Tech & InnovationPalantir’s CEO predicts AI will make him 20x richer while middle-class workers get modest raises
When a major AI CEO says his wealth could 20x while middle-class wages merely double, he’s articulating the power-law payoff of owning the rails versus riding them. If you’re not building or owning compounding IP and distribution around AI, you’re implicitly choosing the “modest raise” side of that curve.
Tech & InnovationHere’s the net worth you need to start getting ahead in your 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond in the U.S.
Three-fourths of Americans falling below a new “prosperity” net-worth benchmark means most of your customers and employees are operating with less financial buffer than your planning models probably assume. For operators, that argues for more price sensitivity testing, flexible compensation structures, and products that trade upfront cost for predictable subscriptions.
Tech & InnovationSources: Apple and the DOJ are in early discussions about settling a 2024 antitrust lawsuit alleging that Apple violated antitrust laws
If Apple settles with the DOJ on antitrust, the remedy terms—not the fine—will define how much freedom app builders and rival services gain on iOS. Product and BD teams should scenario-plan for looser defaults around payments, distribution, and interoperability over the next 12–24 months.
