A Dell-tested NVIDIA N1X laptop has popped up again through a test listing leaked on X, and it’s one of the cleaner signals yet that Nvidia’s long-rumored laptop processor plans are getting real attention inside an OEM.

There’s no public launch window here, and the practical stuff, like operating system support and drivers, can decide whether this is a mainstream…

Jacki Kelley does not want to attract attention.In fact, the evp and chief client and business officer of Interpublic Group does not want to be written about during this sensitive time in the holding company’s absorption into Omnicom. Despite several colleagues and competitors that spoke to Digiday crediting her as one of the most important linchpins to making “OmniPublic” work without losing key clients along the way, neither IPG nor Kelley offered a statement or agreed to an interview. But whether she wants the spotlight or not, sources point to her relentless work ethic and emotional intelligence as essential ingredients to…

The only thing clear at the moment in forecasting economic conditions across the marketing ecosystem is that you pretty much can’t. At least that’s the message being delivered by executives who swung by the Digiday Studio at the Possible conference on Day 1, which got underway in Miami on Monday. Some speakers, including Zeta Global founder and CEO David Steinberg, were at least encouraged that marketers haven’t yet slashed their budgets, and are instead still holding in a wait-and-see pattern. “Right now, everyone I’m talking to has changed nothing — I haven’t seen any cutbacks and I haven’t personally seen…

The impact of his tariff policies, however, are being felt far beyond the 50 states.Global research outfit WARC and the Advertising Association today (April 30) cut their U.K. ad spend forecast in the face of stagnant economic growth and — you guessed it — tariffs. Ad spend is expected to rise by 6.3% in 2025 to reach £45.2 billion ($60 billion), 0.6% less than January predictions had suggested.

Apple has a new software bundle for you that gives you access to the company’s most popular and useful pro-grade content creation apps, called Apple Creator Studio.

Linda Yaccarino continues to cast X as the anti-media media company — a disruptive alternative to what she and Elon Musk believe is the dusty, broken fourth estate.It’s a contentious claim, especially in an era when President Donald Trump is once again at war with the press. But sitting for a fireside chat with Anthony Pompliano, creator of From the Desk of Anthony Pompliano, on X at Possible this afternoon in Miami, Yaccarino insisted the platform’s (self-reported) numbers back her up.
