On This Day

Steve Jobs unveiled the Apple iMac

On May 16, 1998, Apple Inc. unveiled the first iMac, a significant product launch that played a crucial role in Apple's turnaround in the late 1990s. The iMac, known for its unique design and integration of the monitor and computer in one unit, was instrumental in reestablishing Apple's reputation for innovation.

Google acquired Motorola Mobility for $12 Billion dollars

Google completed its acquisition of Motorola Mobility on May 16, 2012, for $12.5 billion. This acquisition aimed to bolster Google's patent portfolio in the mobile space, showcasing the growing importance of intellectual property in tech industry competition.

SpaceX’s Demo-2 Mission was planned and subsequently delayed

While originally scheduled for May 16, 2020, SpaceX's Demo-2 mission, which was the first crewed flight of the Crew Dragon spacecraft, was delayed due to weather conditions and eventually launched on May 30, 2020. This mission marked the first time NASA astronauts were launched from U.S. soil since the retirement of the Space Shuttle in 2011.

Poll Of the Week

Should TikTok Face a Ban in the U.S.?

Recently, the House passed a bill requiring ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, to divest from the app within 180 days or face prohibition (a ban) in the U.S. However, Senate supporters argue that this is not a ban but rather a transition of ownership to ensure national security.

38% Yes - ban TikTok for national security reasons.

22% No - keep TikTok operational as security concerns are exaggerated.

12% Compromise - keep TikTok, force ByteDance out.

26% I have no horse in this race.
