Apple said Monday it will spend more than $500 billion in the United States over the next four years and hire 20,000 staff, an announcement likely to please President Donald Trump who has pushed US companies to shift manufacturing home.

“Apple today announced its largest-ever spend commitment, with plans to spend and invest more than $500 billion in the US over the next four years,” the Silicon Valley-based tech giant said in a statement.

Apple’s CEO Tim Cook said: “We are bullish on the future of American innovation, and we’re proud to build on our long-standing US investments with this $500 billion commitment to our country’s future.”

Apple said it would also hire around 20,000 staff, mostly focused on research and development, silicon engineering, software development, and AI and machine learning.

It plans to open a new manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas, in 2026 that will assemble servers that “play a key role in powering Apple Intelligence” — part of the company’s AI products — and would create “thousands of jobs.”

An Apple Manufacturing Academy in Detroit is also on the cards to “help companies transition to advanced…

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs wants evidence suppressed — accusing feds of lying to get search warrants
February 24, 2025
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyers are pushing to have some evidence obtained during raids on his homes in Los Angeles and Miami suppressed, accusing the feds of lying to obtain the search warrants, new court filings show. The 55-year-old disgraced music mogul’s defense team alleges authorities made “false statements and omitted critical exculpatory evidence” when it sought the warrants to search Combs’ homes, as well as his iCloud and phones, amid its notorious sex-trafficking probe, according to a motion filed in Manhattan federal court on Sunday. When seeking the warrants, the feds left out evidence that suggested one alleged victim’s involvement in the so-called sex-fueled “Freak-Off” parties was “voluntary and consensual” — and “not coerced as the government suggested in its applications,” the motion claims.

Hollyoaks star’s mum was ‘killed by husband who staged fake robbery to cover tracks before taking own life’ in France
February 24, 2025
THE Brit mum found dead alongside her husband in their French villa was murdered by her spouse before he tried to fake a robbery and hung himself, cops now believe. The bodies of Dawn, 56, and Andrew Searle, 65, were discovered earlier this month at their house in Les Pesquiès, southern France. Dawn Searle was found dead with major head trauma, which cops now believe was inflicted by her husbandCredit: Pixel8000 The couple had moved to France two years ago, and married there in 2023 Various theories about the moments before the deaths circulated in the following days – including a robbery-gone-wrong and a professional hit job. But police now believe that Dawn – mum to Hollyoaks star Callum Kerr – was victim of “a marital crime followed by suicide”. Nicolas Rigot-Muller, the lead prosecutor, claimed Andrew may have killed Dawn, then hoped he could explain her death to police by faking a break-in, before changing his mind and taking his own life. This explanation has previously been rejected by pals, who said the relationship had been harmonious. The couple, who married just two years ago, had moved to start a new life at a villa in Les Pesquiès, south of… Read the full article here […]
SoftBank among eFishery investors facing near wipeout
February 24, 2025
Investigators hired by the board of eFishery have determined the Indonesian startup is in far worse shape than they previously thought, and that investors are likely to get back less than 10 cents for every dollar they invested, according to documents seen by Bloomberg News. The company, which deploys feeders to fish and shrimp farmers in Indonesia, incurred several hundred million dollars in losses between 2018 and 2024 and misrepresented its financial figures for years, according to the documents and a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified because the information isn’t public. “EFishery is not commercially viable in its current form,” said a presentation prepared for the firm’s investors by FTI Consulting Singapore, the adviser hired to review the business and take over management of the company.

Waspi Campaigners Threaten Legal Action After ‘Gaslighting’ Over Compensation
February 24, 2025
The Women Against State Pension Inequality campaign has sent a ‘letter before action’ to the Department for Work and Pensions. Waspi campaigners have threatened the government with legal action unless it reconsiders the decision to reject compensation for millions of women affected by changes to the state pension age. A watchdog recommended that compensation be paid to women born in the 1950s whose state pension age was raised to be equal with men, but Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said taxpayers can not afford what could be a £10.5 billion package. The Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi) campaign has sent a “letter before action” to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), warning of High Court proceedings if the issue is not resolved. Angela Madden, chairwoman of the group, said members will not allow the DWP’s “gaslighting” of Waspi women to go “unchallenged.” Waspi campaigners says the government’s reasons for rejecting the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman report, which found that the women should be paid up to £2,950 each, are “legally wrong.” The group, which has launched a £75,000 Crowdjustice campaign to fund legal action,… […]
