C-Seed folding TVs are offered in sizes up to 221 inches. Screen folds into microLED panels with premium speakers. Indoor and outdoor versions offered, including for yachts. Ever stared at your fancy Samsung or Sony screen and thought, “Nice, but what if it could rise from the floor like a sci-fi monolith and resemble TARS from Interstellar?”. If that oddly specific craving has ever crossed your mind, the C-Seed folding TV, developed in collaboration with Porsche Design, might be exactly what you didn’t know you were waiting for. Read: Porsche Reimagines Prefabs With Stunning $1.5M Floating House The catch? Of course there’s one. Like most things designed to impress and overdeliver, it comes at a cost. And not a small one. Before you start imagining this thing in your living room, consider this: it costs more than three brand-new Porsche 911 Carreras put together. That model starts at $135,500. The Art of the Unfolding Screen C SEED The remarkable screens, available in several sizes and designed for both indoor and outdoor settings, resemble a sculptural installation more than something you’d use to watch next month’s Super Bowl. The models, known as the N1 and M1, rest horizontally when not in use, taking on the look of a futuristic cabinet, or, as mentioned earlier, something straight out of a sci-fi flick. However, with the touch of a button, the display automatically rotates to a vertical position. From there, each of the five microLED panels (or seven for the outdoor version) starts to unfold, displaying a screen said to offer “amazingly vibrant colors” and 1,000 nits of brightness. Audio isn’t an afterthought either. Each screen includes a built-in, full-range audio system, so there’s no need to clutter the setup with a cheap-looking soundbar or surround sound system to make the most of it.. It’s all part of the integrated package. C SEED The outdoor version works in much the same way as the indoor display, but can be configured with a taller column, a six-speaker sound system, and can even fold away into an underground storage compartment when not in use. View this post on Instagram A post shared by doug dushan (@dougsuniverse) Indoor models can be ordered in massive 165-inch, 137-inch, and 103-inch configurations, but those with more money to burn can even order a 221-inch display. The outdoor models are available in 201-inch and 144-inch sizes, and there’s even a version designed for the mega-rich to add to the decks of their superyachts. Adding one of these to your living room, backyard, or private floating compound will run you around $400,000. That’s a lifetime of paychecks for some, but for those deep enough into the billionaire bracket, it’s another line item on a well-curated wishlist.

Avant de décéder, Georges Pernoud a investi une incroyable demeure située en Dordogne. Une ancienne grange qu'il a entièrement rénové.

L'UEFA a désigné les arbitres des matches de la septième journée de Champions League et c'est l'Anglais Anthony Taylor qui a été choisi pour diriger le Sporting/PSG de ce mardi soir. Un arbitre qui connaît très bien les Parisiens, l'équipe non britannique qu'il a le plus arbitrée.

Shiyao Tang says she spent 5 months planning her exit from her $390K job.Shiyao TangShiyao Tang quit her $390,000 job at DoorDash to build Soir Si, a silk womenswear brand.Tang says she spent 5 months planning her corporate exit and was scared to leave a stable job.While she experiences moments of self-doubt, Tang says the risk is worth it to pursue her dream.This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Shiyao Tang, a 34-year-old business owner based in New York City and Paris. It's been edited for length and clarity.I was on a very strong upward trajectory in my manager role at DoorDash when I quit in 2025. I was making $390,000 and felt that I still had room to grow, but when I was honest with myself, my heart wasn't in it.Leaving to start my own silk womenswear brand wasn't an instantaneous decision; it was a long-term calling inside of me. It took a lot of courage to quit and choose the unknown.I still constantly ask myself if I made a huge mistake. I think to myself, "How could I just leave a job that most people would dream of?" It was high-paying, the benefits were great, and there was room for learning. But I don't want to look back and think I climbed the wrong mountain.I enjoyed my tech job, but felt an inner tug toward entrepreneurshipIn 2022, I was hired as a strategy and operations manager on the homepage team at DoorDash. My job was challenging, and I got to wear a lot of hats. I also developed deep friendships with some truly talented people.However, I realized I missed the feeling of being close to the people I was building for.Earlier in my career, I had a small entrepreneurial chapter where I worked on a fashion wholesale startup. I built my own customers from the ground up and interacted with them every day.When I was 16, I moved from China to the US and later spent a year studying abroad in Paris. I've always lived between cultures and felt super energized by working with people from distinct backgrounds and creative disciplines. The more I thought about it, the more I realized I wanted my career to reflect that part of me, too.I spent about 5 months deciding what I wanted to do before I quit, and the idea scared meTech created a structure for me to learn and expand my horizon, but I was ready to try entrepreneurship again. I spent a lot of time journaling and reflecting on what business I really wanted to make.Every weekend was dedicated to foundational discovery work and even talking to potential customers or friends to get some early feedback on different ideas. I even started connecting with other young, inspiring entrepreneurs at founder events, which expanded my horizons regarding what life might look like as an entrepreneur.Frankly, I was extremely scared every day, but seeing people thrive gave me more confidence to envision what it might look like for me. I decided on my business, Soir Si, where I make simple, minimal sculptural silk pieces. The mission is to make luxury accessible.Even though I was sure of my decision, walking away was scary, and honestly, it was really sad for me. However, the thought of not pushing to the edge of my potential was scarier than quitting.I now split my time between NYC and ParisI have my own apartment in NYC, and I spend half my time in Paris, typically staying with friends or family, to fuel my creative inspiration during the design process.The first month after quitting, I focused on building a strong visual and emotional identity for Soir Si by enrolling in online courses and even partnering with a freelancer. The next stages were developing my website, connecting directly with customers, and using my branding and website to open up my supply chain.Now I'm focused on securing and strengthening those relationships while sprinting toward product development.I still question whether I made the wrong decisionRight after quitting, I was so focused on transitioning into entrepreneurship that I didn't have time for…

Consumers are spending more than ever on mobile apps.Anusak Laowilas/NurPhoto via Getty ImagesThe "year of mobile" may finally be upon us.Mobile adtech firm Liftoff filed to go public this week.Industry experts predict other mobile ad firms will follow, ending an adtech IPO drought.Could the adtech IPO drought be coming to an end?This week, Blackstone-backed mobile adtech firm Liftoff filed to go public in the US, potentially ending a yearslong freeze that has seen only one major pure-play adtech IPO — connected-TV firm MNTN's debut last spring — since 2021.If the IPO market does reopen in earnest this year, adtech executives expect the first movers to resemble Liftoff. That means companies with consistent growth and exposure to performance advertising, the slice of the market focused on measurable outcomes like app installs and online sales, which is increasingly powered by AI.Liftoff provides a software development kit that app developers install in their apps in order to sell advertising, and a product for advertisers that uses machine learning to help them target high-quality mobile users. It grew revenue by 30% year over year to $491 million in the nine months that ended September 30. The company reported $263.3 million in adjusted earnings — a 54% margin — and a net loss of $25.6 million in that period.The mobile adtech companies InMobi and Moloco have similar profiles and could be the next candidates in the space to go public, industry experts said. The mobile adtech space has consolidated into just a handful of big players in recent years, including AppLovin, gaming engine Unity's mobile ad business, Google's AdMob, and Hong Kong-based Mobvista. Fresh IPO money could spark more M&A.SoftBank-backed InMobi has long been rumored as an IPO candidate. Bloomberg reported in July that the company was aiming to raise as much as $1 billion in an Indian public listing at a valuation of between $5 billion and $6 billion, citing people familiar with the matter. Business Insider was unable to verify InMobi's IPO plans. InMobi declined to comment for this article.Ahn Ikjin, CEO of Tiger Global-backed Moloco, said in an interview with a Korean news outlet last month that "going public is one of the milestones that we aim to reach," but didn't specify a timeline. Moloco declined to comment.Here's why the market looks ripe for a year of mobile adtech IPOs.The AppLovin effectAppLovin's meteoric rise has pushed its market cap past $200 billion, cementing its status as the most valuable pure-play adtech company by a wide margin. The company has some of the highest profit margins in all of tech — not just adtech — powered by its AI-driven Axon targeting platform and a recent expansion beyond gaming into e-commerce advertising.Other mobile adtech companies and their investors will be hoping some of AppLovin's magic rubs off on them."AppLovin is a bellwether for a buoyant space," said Ciaran O'Kane, general partner at the adtech-focused venture fund FirstPartyCapital.'Performance' pays on mobileHow did placing ads in solitaire games and talking cat apps become such a money-maker?Consumer spending on mobile apps was estimated to have grown 21.6% year over year to reach $155.8 billion in 2025, according to the app intelligence company Appfigures.App advertisers are "typically more focused on math than art," said Alex Merutka, CEO of the creative technology platform Craftsman+.They're laser-focused on making tiny tweaks to variables in targeting, ad creative, and whether you show an ad in the first 30 seconds of the game —or the first 45 seconds — in order to drive performance. These advertisers are willing to pay top dollar to target potential "whales," the users who are most likely to spend big once they download an app.Mobile adtech companies have transformed from middlemen that simply placed ads on…
