Description
Blackberry is selling tens of thousands of patents for US$600M to a single company to turn its focus towards its core business: cybersecurity and software used by automakers—yeah, it’s been a while since they’ve made money from smartphones. A new Canadian Airline called Lynx Air has emerged, as new competition between low-cost airlines and its larger counterparts—Air Canada and WestJet—heats up. Consumer brands like Walmart and Procter & Gamble (P&G) are jumping on the metaverse bandwagon, even though the concept is still fuzzy for many people.
