In February 1982, Apple’s Chris Espinosa ended Steve Jobs’ relentless critiques of a Mac calculator by building a tool that let Jobs tweak every visual parameter himself. Within ten minutes, Jobs settled on a look that shipped with the Macintosh in 1984 and stayed largely unchanged through Mac OS 9, according to Andy Hertzfeld’s Folklore.org. The episode highlights early, forward-thinking visual design tools and a management style where Jobs judged by direct use. Donn Denman later handled the math functions. You can still try the original calculator via the Infinite Mac website.

Firing Brian Daboll midseason offers the Giants little beyond early talks with unemployed coaches, as many targets remain employed until the regular season ends.

AI’s buildout is racing ahead of demand and infrastructure, a bubble risk framed as oversized bets rather than apocalypse. With software sprinting while data centers take years to rise, visibility is murky. Reuters says an Oracle-linked New Mexico campus secured up to $18 billion in credit; Oracle has $300 billion in cloud services contracted to OpenAI and, with OpenAI and SoftBank, plans $500 billion for Stargate. Meta pledged $600 billion over three years. Yet a McKinsey survey finds most firms using AI lightly. Satya Nadella warns of data center shortages, and some sites sit idle for lack of power.

Paramount Skydance reported a third quarter loss as shrinking TV advertising and distribution bit, with pro forma revenue down 3% to $6.1 billion, ad sales off 12% and distribution fees down 7%. In its first period under the Ellison family’s leadership, the company lifted post merger cost saving goals to at least $3 billion, about two thirds from non labor costs, and signaled further job cuts. It is betting on streaming, striking a $7.7 billion UFC deal, buying The Free Press for $150 million, and targeting $30 billion in 2026 revenue while planning Q4 restructuring and transformation costs.

Week 10 closes with the Philadelphia Eagles visiting the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN and ABC. The Eagles beat Green Bay twice last season, including a Wild Card win on their path to a Super Bowl title, and they’ve continued the much-debated "tush push" after a failed ban. Philadelphia enters off a bye and a 38-20 win over the Giants; Green Bay fell 16-13 to the Panthers. Viewers without cable can use DIRECTV’s free trial or Sling Orange passes.

Big Tech roared back Monday, lifting Wall Street as the S&P 500 rose 1.5%, the Dow 0.8% and the Nasdaq 2.3% for its best day since May. Nvidia jumped 5.8%, Taiwan Semiconductor gained 3.1% on nearly 17% October revenue growth, and Palantir surged 8.8%. Health insurers slid amid uncertainty over expiring tax credits, while the Senate moved to end the shutdown and President Donald Trump weighed in on insurance subsidies. Berkshire edged lower after Warren Buffett’s caution; Tyson beat estimates. Overseas markets rallied, and the 10 year Treasury yield held at 4.11%.

Discounts on the Nintendo eShop begin November 20, with in-store deals rolling out a few days later. The notice also invites sign-ups for Verge Deals, which sends weekly emails featuring tested product offers, alongside standard Terms, Privacy, and reCAPTCHA disclosures.

Dan Campbell reclaimed play-calling for the Lions and they finally looked like themselves, romping past Washington while springing Jameson Williams’ first 100-yard day and their best rushing output of 2025. The switch followed OC John Morton being stripped of duties. Elsewhere in Week 10, Matthew Stafford’s touchdown tear stoked MVP talk, Jaxson Dart’s head injury clouded Week 11, and the Giants became the first team in 25 years to turn it over on downs six times. Rotoworld’s awards spotlighted Stafford, Jonathan Taylor and Emeka Egbuka.

Air travelers face worsening cancellations and delays as the FAA imposes deeper cuts at 40 major airports. After thousands of weekend cancellations, airlines scrubbed 1,700 flights by early Monday and about 1,000 for Tuesday; reductions are rising from 4% to 6% Tuesday and 10% by week’s end. Unpaid for nearly a month, some controllers have stopped showing up. President Donald Trump urged them to get back to work and floated $10,000 bonuses for those who did, a move the union called political. The FAA also tightened restrictions on private flights, citing safety and staffing strains.
