"The IT manager was, to be blunt, an insufferable bore," he told On Call. To make matters worse, he had no people skills and clearly enjoyed bullying colleagues and underlings. Val wouldn't put up with it. "I was already too old and weathered to take that kind of treatment from anybody," he told On Call. One morning, Val's phone rang and he was soon conversing with this magnificent manager who needed help with an Excel spreadsheet - but insisted the request must be kept secret.

Microsoft's CEO has claimed the operating system-slinger is building the "world's largest datacenter." In an X post on Thursday, Satya Nadella said that the datacenter Microsoft has built at Fairwater, Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, would be ten times faster than the world's largest supercomputer, have "hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GB200s," and enough fiber connections to encircle the world 4.5 times. That's about 35,550 miles (57,600 kilometers), based on the Earth's equatorial diameter.

It just goes to show how a company backed by a tech titan is willing to try different avenues, small or large, to get more riders in robotaxi seats. "The main purpose of what Waymo does today, I think, is to learn," Brad Templeton, who was a consultant for Waymo's Google Self-Driving Car Project phase, told Business Insider. "Up until recently, it's been about learning what works, what doesn't work - experimenting with pricing, experimenting with policies, and experimenting with partnerships."
When we put it in perspective, think of everything currently running on servers in the world, the traditional ones: every bank, every transaction through Visa or ATMs, everything that the government does for you, every retail purchase, the entire coordination of the supply chains around the world, every piece of payroll, unified communication, social streaming services and gaming. They all run on servers.
Most businesses today rely on telecom far beyond simple calls or SMS. The future of the telecom industry is about powering digital communications, cloud services, IoT ecosystems, and enterprise connectivity. Imagine running an e-commerce store in 2025: AI chatbots handle customer service, sales reps close deals over video calls, and logistics teams track shipments in real time via IoT sensors. None of this works without global telecom innovations.
A well-known adage reminds us that corporate insiders and 10% owners really only buy shares of a company because they believe the stock price will rise and they want to profit from it. Thus, insider buying can be an encouraging signal for potential investors. This is all the more so during times of uncertainty in the markets, and even when markets are near all-time highs.
Charlie Kirk's mastery of social media was key to his rise as an influence in conservative politics. So the extent to which his death and its aftermath have played out on those forums shouldn't come as a surprise. In a microcosm of life today, social media is where Americans have gone to process last week's killing in Utah and is the chief tool his supporters are using to police those they feel aren't offering proper respect.
PagerDuty, the incident management platform used by thousands of organisations to alert them to problems on their systems, suffered a major outage itself on 28th August 2025. The incident disrupted or delayed the processing of incoming events to customers in PagerDuty's US service region. Significant service degradations affected PagerDuty for more than nine hours. At its peak, approximately 95% of events were rejected over a 38-minute period, and 18% of create requests generated errors for 130 minutes.
Many of you know that I have a creed in leadership, that we all have a finite time to leave our world better than we found it. And part of that recognition is knowing when the time has come for an organization to have fresh leadership, perspective, vision, and a longer runway to get the job done.
In our nine years of covering video platform Vimeo, we have seen it win legal appeals related to copyright issues around pre-1972 music uploads, and the installation of CEO Anjali Sud in 2017. Most recently in January, the company persevered in a copyright lawsuit with major music labels. Today we learn that Vimeo has agreed to an acquisition by European digital technology company Bending Spoons.
