💥 Intel reveals its new CEO LINK
  • Intel has appointed Lip-Bu Tan as its new CEO, who will officially take on the role starting March 18, succeeding interim co-CEOs David Zinsner and Michelle Johnston Holthaus.
  • With over 20 years in the semiconductor and software sectors, Tan previously led Cadence Design Systems, significantly increasing its revenue, and is also involved with Walden ventures.
  • Tan's appointment occurs as Intel navigates a challenging period, with recent stock fluctuations and cost reductions, and his leadership is seen as crucial for driving innovation and customer-focused solutions.
🔍 Gemini can now personalize its answers based on your search history LINK
  • Google's Gemini now uses your search history to personalize responses, enhancing answers by referencing past searches if deemed helpful, especially for queries like restaurant or travel recommendations.
  • The personalization feature, powered by the Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental model, will eventually connect to other Google apps, offering more customized insights based on your activities and preferences.
  • Users can enable this feature on the web and soon on mobile, with the option to disconnect their search history anytime, and a clear banner will guide them on how to do so.
📈 Trump family held talks to buy stake in Binance LINK
  • Representatives of Donald Trump's family reportedly engaged in discussions with Binance to explore the possibility of acquiring a share in the cryptocurrency exchange.
  • The Wall Street Journal reported that Binance contacted the Trump family in 2024, proposing a business deal as part of efforts to restart Binance.US operations in America.
  • The report suggested that Binance's founder, Changpeng Zhao, who previously served prison time in the US, is seeking a pardon from the Trump administration, though it's unclear if the deal is linked to this request.
📚 Meta blocks promotion of tell-all book from former employee LINK
  • An arbitrator ruled in favor of Meta, stopping former employee Sarah Wynn-Williams from promoting her critical book titled "Careless People" due to a non-disparagement agreement.
  • The book contains serious allegations against Meta, including concessions to China for a censored platform and claims of sexual harassment against executive Joel Kaplan.
  • Despite the arbitration ruling, it remains uncertain whether the book can be completely banned, as it continues to be available for purchase on platforms like Amazon.
🌐 First operating system for quantum networks unveiled LINK
  • Researchers from Quantum Internet Alliance have developed QNodeOS, the first operating system designed for quantum networks, moving quantum networking from theory to practical application.
  • QNodeOS allows developers to easily create and execute applications on quantum networks without needing detailed knowledge of the underlying hardware, similar to classical operating systems like Windows.
  • The new operating system supports multiple hardware types, enables coordination between different network nodes, and paves the way for innovative software development in quantum networking.
