LinkedIn’s CEO has quietly lifted the curtain on a practice many executives already suspected: he leans on artificial intelligence to write the majority of his emails — even the ones sent to his own boss, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Ryan Roslansky disclosed during a fireside chat at LinkedIn’s...
Nvidia’s stranglehold on AI hardware looks formidable on paper — but beneath the headline numbers lies a more complicated story of geopolitical friction, software lock‑in, and accelerating competitor investment that could test Jensen Huang’s ability to keep Team Green entirely unchallenged...
Cloud hosting has evolved from a convenience to a strategic imperative, and the top U.S. providers shaping enterprise IT strategies in 2025 combine scale, specialized services for AI and data, and increasingly sophisticated cost and sustainability commitments. The short list assembled by...
Cloud hosting choices in 2025 matter more than ever: the “big three” hyperscalers still dominate the enterprise landscape, but an increasingly diverse field of specialist and budget providers offers compelling alternatives for startups, agencies, and developers. A short list published recently...

Nvidia’s recent reshaping of its cloud strategy — pivoting DGX Cloud toward a partner-driven marketplace called DGX Cloud Lepton while repurposing portions of its owned fleet for internal R&D — has set off a debate: did that move effectively hand a competitive edge to hyperscalers (Amazon Web...
Ottawa’s recent disclosure that the federal government has spent nearly $1.3 billion on cloud services from U.S. providers since 2021 — with more than a billion of that directed to Microsoft and portions of that budget underpinning what the Department of National Defence calls “mission‑critical”...
