Most corporate transformations fail because the wrong people come up with strategy. Getting midlevel managers in the boardroom changes the odds
Earbuds that fall out mid-run can wreck your workout. Consumer Reports tested models on sound, fit, and sweat resistance to find the best picks

AI infrastructure spending has never been larger. Efficiency gains are eroding the demand assumptions that make orbital data centers worth building
Starcloud, Axiom Space, Lonestar, and others are betting they can stake claims in orbit before Google and SpaceX scale up
Low-Earth orbit is already dangerously crowded. Plans to build data centers there would accelerate a debris crisis no regulator has the power to stop
Elon Musk built Tesla and SpaceX by riding cost curves down. Orbital data centers need the same collapse, but terrestrial rivals keep getting cheaper
Solar power in orbit generates far more energy than panels on the ground. How big that gap actually is decides whether space computing is viable
Power bills keep rising and data centers keep growing. Eleven states have introduced moratorium bills to slow the expansion
Repair bills pile up fast when a vehicle is prone to problems from Day 1. Consumer Reports surveyed members to find the most reliable models
Wider reach doesn't guarantee stronger returns. One coffee brand cut to five markets and posted the highest EBITDA in its history
Uber, Microsoft, and Meta are taming runaway AI budgets. The harder question is how to measure what AI spending actually produces
