Zuckerberg expects Threads as Meta's next 1bn user network

Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg sees Threads as Meta's next one billion user network , giving strong com Pet ition to Twitter. While addressing Meta's second-quarter earnings call with investors on Wednesday, Zuckerberg expressed his expectations for Threads. He said, "It’s a weird anomaly in the tech industry that there hasn’t been an app like this for text-based convos that has reached one billion people.” Read  Meta's Reels revenue narrows in on TikTok, boosted by AI Although Threads reached the fastest 100 million signups, the engagement rate has dropped since its launch. However, Zuckerberg says that “tens of millions” of people are still using the app daily. He added, “I’m highly confident we’re going to be able to pour enough gasoline on this to help it grow.” Threads has not yet been promoted on other Meta platforms. Once the app has a strong hold on its basics, its marketing will be started. Moreover, once Threads reaches a certain number of signups, it

Samsung unveils new foldable phones to challenge Apple

Samsung Electronics unveiled its latest foldable smartphones on Wednesday, keeping prices around the same level three years in a row as it seeks to challenge Apple's dominance in the premium market. The world's largest smartphone maker pioneered the segment in 2019, betting that it would appeal to consumers looking for a bigger screen to consume content, while its foldable displays keep the overall phone size compact. Foldable phones remain a niche product category, carving out 5% of the global premium smartphone market, although the sector has grown rapidly from just 0.3% in 2019, according to research firm Counterpoint. Samsung, a leader in the segment with 63% market share in the first quarter, is looking to accelerate the growth trajectory with an aggressive pricing plan and faster rollout, industry analysts said. The company on Wednesday priced its new clamshell Galaxy Z Flip5 at $999.99, and the wide Galaxy Z Fold5 to start at $1,799.99 in the United States, the same

Coffee Milk Shake Day Tagged as Coffee Food & Drink Ice Cream What are the hashtags? #CoffeeMilk shake Day #NationalCoffeeMilk shake Day #CoffeeMilkShakeDay Have we missed something? Pretty much everyone loves coffee, and a huge part of humanity even depends on it to wake them up every morning. But what happens during the summer, when it’s too hot to enjoy a steaming cup of coffee without sweating profusely?

At that time, milk shake s were very different from what you can currently get at Dairy Queen, as they were alcoholic drinks made with eggs and whiskey, much like today’s eggnog. Soon after, however, the word

Judge vacates desertion conviction for former US soldier captured in Afghanistan

A judge has vacated the military conviction of Bowe Bergdahl, the former U.S. Army soldier who pleaded guilty to desertion after he left his post and was captured in Afghanistan FALLS CHURCH, Va. -- A federal judge on Tuesday vacated the military conviction of Bowe Bergdahl, a former U.S. Army soldier who pleaded guilty to desertion after he left his post and was captured in Afghanistan and tortured by the Taliban. The ruling from U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton in Washington says that Military judge Jeffrey Nance, who presided over the court-martial, failed to disclose that he had applied to the executive branch for a job as an immigration judge, creating a potential co NFL ict of interest. Walton noted that former President Donald Trump had strongly criticized Bergdahl during the 2016 presidential campaign. Bergdahl's lawyers argued that Trump's comments placed undue command i NFL uence on Nance. Walton rejected the specific argument surrounding undue command influence, bu

One year old, US climate law is already turbocharging clean energy technology

Excessive heat continues to bear down on sections of the United States, a reminder of the impetus for the The Inflation Reduction Act, the significant climate legislation that turns one year old on August 16 FRANKFORT, Ky. -- On a recent day under the July sun, three men heaved solar panels onto the roof of a roomy, two-story house near the banks of the Kentucky River, a few miles upstream from the state capitol where lawmakers have promoted coal for more than a century. The U.S. climate law that passed one year ago offers a 30% discount off this installation via a tax credit, and that's helping push clean energy even into places where coal still provides cheap electricity. For Heather Baggett’s family in Frankfort, it was a good deal. “For us, it's not politically motivated,” said Baggett. “It really came down to financially, it made sense.” On August 16, after the hottest June ever recorded and a scorching July, America's long-sought response to climate change, the Inflat
