$2,300 iPhone could happen soon due to tariffs
Posted by hikingfan on 4/4/25 at 11:42 pm

The cheapest iPhone 16 model was launched in the U.S. with a sticker price of $799, but could cost as much as $1,142, per calculations based on projections from analysts at Rosenblatt Securities, who say the cost could rise by 43% – if Apple is able to pass that on to consumers.
A more expensive iPhone 16 Pro Max, with a 6.9-inch display and 1 terabyte of storage, which currently retails at $1599, could cost nearly $2300 if a 43% increase were to pass to consumers.

How did the administration let this get out the way it did? Is this all just to bring countries to the negotiating table?

Flight from London to New York turns around 330 miles from North America

A Virgin Atlantic flight had almost reached North America before it turned back to the UK in an eight-hour ordeal for passengers.
Flight 3 was heading from London Heathrow Airport to New York's JFK Airport on Thursday.
Nearly four hours after departing, it was about 330 miles off the Canadian coast when it U-turned over the Atlantic, according to data from Flightradar24. It then squawked 7700, an emergency signal.

The Airbus A350 landed in Manchester, in northern England, about eight hours after taking off from London.
A Virgin Atlantic spokesperson said in a statement that the flight returned "as a precautionary measure," citing a "technical issue."
Images shared on social media showed the A350 landing at Manchester with its landing-gear doors open — a sign of a problem with the plane's hydraulics.

Formula 1 officially approves Cadillac as new American team starting in 2026
Posted by hikingfan on 3/7/25 at 5:45 pm

It’s official: The Cadillac Formula 1 Team will join the grid next year, gaining final approval from F1 and its governing body on Friday.
The GM-backed American team secured conditional approval last fall to pursue its big ambitions in the pinnacle of motorsport. Now, the sport says it has met the necessary requirements to become the 11th team competing on the racetrack.
“The FIA Formula One Championship’s expansion to an 11th team in 2026 is a milestone. GM/Cadillac brings fresh energy,” FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem said in a statement. “The Cadillac Formula 1 Team’s presence in the paddock will inspire future competitors and fans. Their entry strengthens our mission to push motorsport’s boundaries at the highest level.”
The team is a product of a partnership between GM and Cadillac, which will build the power unit, and TWG Motorsports, the parent company of Andretti Global, to build the cars.
In a statement, Cadillac F1 said the veteran Formula 1 team executive Graeme Lowdon will serve as its team principal.
Russ O’Blenes has been announced as CEO of TWG GM Performance Power Units which is tasked with making Cadillac F1 a “full-works team” in the coming years.
The team struck a deal to use Ferrari engines when it launches.
The 2025 Formula 1 season begins next week. The entry of Cadillac F1 will align with a new set of regulations starting in 2026 that is expected to scramble the field, with each team effectively starting from scratch when building their challengers.

Again.. If tariffs raised prices and the studies suggests (which is .02% to.7%) but wages increase 5.7% what is the net of that?
Bro, we get it. The tariffs are good. Yes it will make inflation worse. Yes that means the fed won’t lower rates. Yes that means interest payments on our debt will balloon.
But once Bill Cletus in Oklahoma learns how to build GPUs and we discover rare earth metals in America, the economy is going to rip.
Prolific blood donor who saved 2.4 million babies dies at 88

An Australian man credited with saving more than 2 million babies through decades of regular blood and plasma donations has died at age 88.
James Harrison, whose blood contained a rare antibody, died in his sleep Feb. 17 at a nursing home in the Australian state of New South Wales, according to the Australian Red Cross Blood Service, also known as Lifeblood.
The antibody in Harrison’s blood was used to make the medication anti-D, which is given to pregnant women whose blood might attack their unborn babies. Without it, babies may develop hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN), a blood disorder that can be fatal.
Despite an aversion to needles, Harrison began donating in 1954 at age 18, keeping a promise he made at 14 when he received life-saving blood transfusions as part of a major surgery. A decade later, it was found that his blood contained an antibody essential for producing anti-D injections.
Known as the “man with the golden arm,” Harrison donated his blood and plasma 1,173 times, never missing an appointment for more than 60 years until he retired in 2018 at the age of 81.
