Even Bill Gates pronounces ‘Bezos’ wrong — here’s how to say the Amazon CEO’s name
During Facetime chats with my dad, who lives on the other side of the country, he often makes reference to big changes in Seattle by asking, “What’s BEE-zos building now?” — a mispronunciation of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ last name. I don’t correct my dad because it makes me giggle. And no one corrected Bill Gates on Monday either. In a luncheon at the Economic Club of Washington, D.C., the Microsoft co-founder was asked about a certain online book-selling company ca...

Slavery reparations is a far-left favorite because it does a number of things.
It reinforces the radical belief that the United States was founded by racist white men who installed a system whereby white guys would run everything and blacks, women and others would be exploited.
And then,
It also suggests that personal ...

Walmart's new $65 Onn Tablet is better than you’d think
Amazon has mastered the art of selling cheap Android tablets. The company shipped roughly 11.9 million tablets in 2018, passed only by Apple, Samsung, and Huawei. The combination of decent performance, Alexa integration, and low prices have made the success of the Fire lineup difficult to copy.
Walmart is already competing with Amazon on several fronts, so it only makes sense that the company would try to make tablets too. Read MoreWalmart's new $65 Onn Tablet is better than you’d think was wr...

Read the pitch deck that Uber founder Garrett Camp created for the ride-hailing giant back in 2008 – before the company became the $120 billion giant it is today (UBER)
It's a big year for Uber.
The first name in ride-hailing is arguably the biggest IPO of 2019, along with a reported confidential filing with the top U.S. stock market regulator. This has stoked the fires of rampant speculation on Wall Street, and some analysts are predicting the company could be worth as much as $120 billion.
With such eye-popping numbers, it's difficult to remember a time when the 10-year-old company wasn't the juggernaut it is today. Uber currently has more than 2 million dri...
