Hermes is facing a class-action suit in California for 'forcing' customers to buy more of its accessories and trot up a 'sufficient purchase history' if they hope to purchase the French luxury design house's iconic Birkin bag.

Microsoft’s Inflection point: Acquire what you can’t create
It’s almost impossible for an artificial intelligence (AI) startup to build anything as good as ChatGPT, but a company called Inflection was getting there. Last year the Palo Alto, California-based firm raised $1.3 billion in a single fund-raising round to turn its chatbot Pi into a personal assistant for everything. It built up a phenomenal cache of computing power, gaining access to thousands of coveted graphics-processing unit chips from Nvidia and was on track to surpass OpenAI’s free version of ChatGPT with a model it had built, remarkably, from scratch.

Apple Faces Legal Protest From Meta, Microsoft, X and Match
Meta Platforms, Microsoft, X and Match Group filed a legal petition protesting Apple’s app store policies, objecting to how the tech giant has complied with a federal court ruling that ordered Apple to allow alternative payment methods. The four companies, which have some of the most popular apps on the app store, join Fortnite-maker Epic Games in protesting Apple’s plan to charge a commission for payments made outside the app store. The briefing underscores the extent to which Apple’s rivals and other technology players intend to continue fighting to force the iPhone maker to loosen its tight controls over third-party software.

Biden and Trump notch wins in Tuesday's primaries. Other races will offer hints on national politics
Joe Biden and Donald Trump won their party's primaries in Illinois on Tuesday, notching more delegates as they continue their march to a rematch in this November's presidential election. Biden, a Democrat, and Trump, a Republican, also easily won primaries Tuesday in Ohio. Trump also won Florida's Republican primary. There was no contest for Biden to win in Florida as Democrats there canceled their primary and opted to award all 224 of their delegates to him, a move that has precedence for an incumbent president. Trump and Biden are also expected to easily win primaries Tuesday in Arizona and Kansas, banking more support after becoming their parties' presumptive nominees last week.
