Microsoft’s chief executive Satya Nadella earned $79.1m (£61m) last year, a rise of 63% compared to his compensation the year before.That was despite a request from Mr Nadella to reduce one element of his pay package because of cybersecurity flaws at the tech giant – which resulted in him getting $5m less than he otherwise would have.In common with many tech firms, Microsoft has cut thousands of jobs this year, including many in its gaming division.But in a proxy statement filed with the US financial regulator, the board said the company’s revenue grew by 16% in the year to 30…

Bill Gates has come out to offer his endless support to Kamala Harris, providing her campaign with $50 million. The same news agencies praising Gates for supporting Harris have condemned the likes of Elon Musk for supporting Donald Trump. Gates has been CIVILLY CHARGED in the Netherlands and is perhaps buying favor with the DOJ. If he refuses to show up to testify or be deposed, he could be charged with contempt in the Netherlands, and it would be up to the DOJ if they extradite him or not. Tim Walz even accused Musk of attempting to “buy” the election,…
Credit: Screenshot via Sky News Australia Two-time presidential loser Hillary Clinton provided insight into her mental state much in the same way a Rorschach test does – she sees Nazis … everywhere. Clinton tried to one-up Kamala Harris’s hysterics – the Vice President explicitly equated Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler – by painting all of his supporters in the same manner. Appearing with CNN’s Kaitlin Collins, the former First Lady seized the opportunity to disparage Trump’s ‘basket of deplorables’ as neo-Nazis. Why? Because he’s holding a rally for supporters at the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden. “One other…

APIA, Samoa: King Charles said on Friday (Oct 25) the Commonwealth should acknowledge its “painful” history, as African and Caribbean nations push for reparations for Britain’s role in transatlantic slavery. Representatives of 56 countries, most with roots in Britain’s empire, are attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting that began in Samoa on Monday, with slavery and the threat of climate change emerging as major themes. “I understand from listening to people across the Commonwealth how the most painful aspects of our past continue to resonate,” Charles said in a speech to the summit. “It is vital, therefore, that we…
With US taxpayer money flowing abroad for military aid, why are Americans left vulnerable at home?After Hurricanes Milton and Helene, a lack of coordination in the US government’s disaster response left thousands stranded and in need of aid. This has prompted an online backlash, with many questioning why billions of US taxpayer dollars are directed to military aid abroad, while disaster relief at home falters. From climate resilience, to education, to housing affordability, Americans say their money should be invested in solving critical domestic issues first.

As shared by Justin Tasch of the New York Post, former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick ripped the New York Giants’ offensive line earlier this week and said the club has “a guy at left tackle” in Joshua Ezeudu “who shouldn’t be playing left tackle” with Andrew Thomas sidelined due to an injury.Ezeudu reacted to Belichick’s comment while speaking with Darryl Slater of NJ Advance Media for NJ.com on Thursday. “He’s entitled to his own opinion,” Ezeudu said. “He’s a former coach. Now, I guess, a commentator and analyst. So everybody is entitled to their own opinion. People have probably said things about him that he doesn’t care about.” Giants offensive…
By The Editorial Board The editorial board is a group of opinion journalists whose views are informed by expertise, research, debate and certain longstanding values. It is separate from the newsroom. Donald Trump has described at length the dangerous and disturbing actions he says he will take if he wins the presidency. His rallies offer a steady stream of such promises and threats — things like prosecuting political opponents and using the military against U.S. citizens. These statements are so outrageous and outlandish, so openly in conflict with the norms and values of American democracy that many find them hard…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance — which protects business leaders from personal losses if they are sued due to their decisions made on behalf of the company — is a critical component of risk management for businesses of all sizes. Small to mid-size businesses (SMBs) and non-profits, in particular, face growing pressure to secure this coverage as they navigate regulatory complexities, market volatility and increased exposure to lawsuits. The outcome of the 2024 election will likely shape the Directors & Officers insurance market in several key ways, particularly through changes in regulatory…
A tiny soft lithium-ion battery made from dropletsUniversity of Oxford The smallest soft lithium-ion battery ever made consists of just three tiny droplets formed from a silk-based hydrogel. The droplet battery can deliver defibrillator electric shocks to beating mouse hearts, along with providing pacemaker-style control – but it may eventually power biomedical implants and wearable electronics for humans. “Potentially, our tiny battery could be used as an implantable microrobotic battery, which can be moved to target locations by a magnetic field and then release its energy for medical treatments,” says Yujia Zhang at the University of Oxford. Zhang and his…
