Amazon Web Services has designed its own cooling hardware, called the In-Row Heat Exchanger, to manage the heat generated by Nvidia’s next-generation GB200 NVL72 graphics processing units. The IRHX modules slide between server racks inside existing data centers, enabling AWS to deploy dense clusters of 72 Blackwell GPUs per rack without resorting to large-scale liquid-cooling systems that would increase floor space or water consumption, according to Dave Brown, vice president of compute and machine-learning services.

A Bay Area woman in California has been receiving hundreds of Amazon packages mistakenly delivered to her home for over a year. The issue stems from a Chinese seller of car seat covers who listed her address as their return address on numerous shipments. This has caused her driveway, mailbox, and doorway to be blocked by the packages, creating ongoing difficulties. Despite her attempts to contact Amazon for resolution, the problem has persisted. Additionally, there was an incident involving an Amazon driver who delivered a package, took a photo to confirm delivery, and then stole the package.

Amazon opened its two-day Prime Day campaign on 9 July with steep markdowns on audio hardware, led by Sony’s noise-canceling headphone range. The WH-1000XM4 over-ears, a former flagship still praised for 30-hour battery life and strong active noise cancellation, fell to about $182, nearly half their typical price. Sony’s lighter WH-CH720N model dropped to $78, a 48 percent discount, while smaller cuts were applied to newer WH-1000XM5 and WH-1000XM6 units.

Amazon.com Inc.’s Prime Day opened to a weaker start than last year, with sales on the first day of the promotion falling 41% year over year, according to data from brand-advisor Momentum Commerce, which tracks online performance for about 50 consumer products companies.

The decline deepened from the event’s first four hours, when Momentum Commerce measured a 14% drop from the comparable period in 2024. Amazon expanded the sale to four days this year from the customary two, a change the research firm says is prompting shoppers to browse and delay purchases in hopes of better deals. Chief Executive Officer John Shea said overall revenue could still finish 9.1% higher than last year’s two-day event if customers complete transactions later in the week.

Amazon Vice President for Prime Jamil Ghani said in a Bloomberg Television interview that customers are gravitating toward everyday essentials and that the company is “pleased by the engagement” early in the event. Amazon shares were up about 1.5% at $222.65 in afternoon New York trading.

Submission-grappling standout Tye Ruotolo will make his long-anticipated mixed-martial-arts debut on 5 September at ONE Fight Night 35 in Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium. The bout, confirmed by ONE Championship, pits the 21-year-old American against 19-year-old rising prospect Adrian Lee in a lightweight contest that will stream live on Amazon Prime Video in the United States and Canada.

Ruotolo, a multiple-time grappling world champion who has defeated marquee names such as Garry Tonon, Marat Gafurov and former ONE middleweight titleholder Reinier de Ridder, signed with ONE in 2022 alongside his twin brother Kade with plans to compete in both grappling and MMA. Lee arrives with a 3–0 professional record, all victories coming by submission, and continues the family lineage established by his siblings and former ONE titleholders Christian and Angela Lee.

Hugging Face has started accepting orders for Reachy Mini, its first commercial robot and a departure from the company’s software-only roots. The open-source device, developed with recently acquired Pollen Robotics, is aimed at the platform’s 10 million-strong developer community and is intended to make hands-on robotics work as accessible as coding on a laptop.

Two do-it-yourself versions are available. Reachy Mini Lite costs $299 but relies on an external computer, while the $449 Reachy Mini Wireless includes a Raspberry Pi 5 board, battery and Wi-Fi connectivity. Both units stand about 11 inches tall, ship as kits that require partial assembly and are fully programmable in Python, with JavaScript and Scratch support planned.

Starlink, the satellite-internet unit of Elon Musk’s SpaceX, has secured authorisation from the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) to offer commercial services in the country, ending a regulatory process that began in 2022.

The five-year licence, awarded to the company’s locally incorporated Starlink Satellite Communications Private Limited, is valid until 7 July 2030 or the end of Starlink’s first-generation constellation. The clearance makes Starlink the third player approved to enter India’s satellite-broadband market after Eutelsat’s OneWeb and Reliance Jio.

Prime Video today launched “Ballard,” a 10-episode police procedural that extends Michael Connelly’s "Bosch" universe and puts Maggie Q in the lead role as Detective Renée Ballard. Adapted by Connelly and Michael Alamino from the author’s best-selling novels, the series opens with Ballard running the Los Angeles Police Department’s fledgling Cold Case Division after being demoted from Robbery-Homicide for blowing the whistle on a colleague.

Early reviews from Variety, the Los Angeles Times and Paste Magazine describe the show as one of the strongest new dramas of the year, praising its pacing, character work and Q’s performance. Set against a backdrop of underfunded investigations, the first season weaves two overarching mysteries—a seven-year-old John Doe murder and the 2001 strangulation of a city councilman’s sister—while drawing on guest appearances from familiar “Bosch” figures.

“Ballard” arrives four months after "Bosch: Legacy" concluded its run, providing Prime Video with a fresh anchor for the franchise and extending Connelly’s roster of page-to-screen characters. All episodes are available for streaming globally.

The Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) 2025 report highlights Pakistan's involvement in state-sponsored terrorism, emphasizing how terror groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed exploit digital platforms including online gaming, cryptocurrencies, e-commerce sites, crowdfunding platforms, and encrypted apps to fund and propagate terrorism. The report also details the use of hawala channels for financing and the employment of VPNs and payment systems to conceal transactions linked to recent terrorist attacks in India, including those at the Gorakhnath Temple and Pulwama. The FATF underscores that terror financing extends beyond money to include logistical and material support for terrorist camps and networks. India's role was pivotal in bringing these evolving terror financing risks to light, bolstering its stance against Pakistan. Experts suggest that international financial institutions like the IMF and World Bank should address these vulnerabilities to prevent exploitation of the formal financial system by terrorist entities.

Amazon’s 2025 Prime Day, which runs an expanded four-day stretch through July 11, is featuring some of the steepest price cuts yet on wearables, led by Apple’s current smartwatch line-up.

French consumer group UFC-Que Choisir said 85% of price reductions advertised on major e-commerce platforms breach European rules, describing most crossed-out prices as “artificial comparison prices” designed to mislead shoppers.

The association examined 933 listings on Amazon, ASOS, Cdiscount, Shein, Temu and Zalando between February and April. Only 15% of promotions were calculated against the lowest price charged in the previous 30 days, as required by the EU’s 2022 “Omnibus” directive. Genuine discounts averaged 11%, while purported savings based on comparison prices claimed an improbable 31%.

UFC-Que Choisir said it will file a complaint with the European Commission and urged Brussels to ban any reference price other than the lowest 30-day price in the forthcoming Digital Fairness Act. The group also cited the French consumer-fraud agency’s €40 million fine against fast-fashion retailer Shein last week as evidence that enforcement remains patchy.

The third and final season of "The Summer I Turned Pretty" is set to premiere on July 16, 2025, exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. The season will feature a weekly episode rollout, with the first two episodes premiering together, followed by new episodes every Wednesday. The series stars Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, and Gavin Casalegno, who have reflected on their experiences portraying their characters over the three seasons. Lola Tung highlighted the evolution of her character, Belly, emphasizing the expansion of her relationships, including a deeper connection with herself.

Fans can expect some deviations from the original book series, as the final season will not follow the books exactly. Additionally, the soundtrack includes multiple Taylor Swift songs, with predictions about new music featured in the upcoming episodes. The cast has acknowledged that some fans may be heartbroken by Belly's final choice. A new promotional poster for the season was released ahead of the premiere.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has directed Amazon and Walmart to intensify efforts to prevent third-party sellers on their online marketplaces from making deceptive "Made in USA" claims. This action aligns with the FTC's enforcement of laws protecting consumers and businesses from false labeling regarding American-made products, especially during "Made in the USA Month." The FTC has warned companies to comply strictly with "Made in USA" requirements. Additionally, there is growing attention on the FTC’s labeling rules, with expectations of renewed regulatory focus. In a related development, new federal and state regulations are set to make it easier for consumers, particularly in New York, to cancel unwanted online subscriptions by requiring companies to eliminate barriers to ending services or products.

Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeffrey Bezos disclosed two large open-market stock sales, according to regulatory filings released on 8 July.

Product pages for the $450 console and a $499 Switch 2–Mario Kart World bundle went live on 8 July, coinciding with the start of Amazon’s Prime Day sales event.

US shoppers cannot immediately add the devices to their carts.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos married broadcast journalist and helicopter pilot Lauren Sánchez in Venice on 27 June, capping a six-year relationship that began publicly in 2019 and led to an engagement announced last year. The three-day celebration, which ran through 29 June, was reported to cost between $20 million and $34 million and drew roughly 200 guests, among them Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady and Ivanka Trump.

Local activist group “No Space for Bezos” staged demonstrations against the lavish festivities and the billionaire’s presence in the overcrowded lagoon city, unfurling banners that read “No space for Bezos.” City officials said the main ceremony was moved from the historic Scuola Grande della Misericordia to the more secluded Arsenal of Venice after protesters threatened disruptions.

Sánchez, 55, is a former Emmy-winning television anchor who founded the aerial film company Black Ops Aviation in 2016 and flew on a Blue Origin sub-orbital mission in April. Following the wedding, the newlyweds were seen in Paris during Haute Couture Week, where Sánchez hosted a dinner and appeared in a waist-cinching red Versace dress, signalling the start of an extended post-nuptial tour.

Former FBI cyber agents, now academic deans at Western Governors University's School of Technology, have highlighted the rapid evolution of AI-driven cyber threats such as deepfakes and data poisoning. They emphasize the importance of training the next generation of cybersecurity professionals to counter these sophisticated attacks. Cybercriminals are increasingly leveraging AI tools to enhance their productivity, particularly during events like Amazon's Prime Day, where over 120,000 malicious copies have flooded the web. These AI-enabled threats include phishing and hacking campaigns, which pose growing risks to businesses globally. Industry experts like Jumio's Daryl Huff note that deepfakes have transitioned from digital entertainment to serious security challenges, underscoring the need for advanced defenses in cybersecurity.

Canada’s Competition Bureau said it has secured a Federal Court order compelling Amazon.com Inc. to hand over records as part of an expanded investigation into the retailer’s Marketplace “Fair Pricing Policy.” The watchdog is examining whether the policy, which lets Amazon remove listings it deems overpriced compared with other sellers, restricts competition and results in higher fees for merchants that are ultimately passed on to consumers.

The latest action deepens scrutiny the Bureau first initiated in June 2024 into Amazon’s marketing practices. Investigators now plan to review internal documents and data to determine if the pricing rules hinder third-party sellers from offering discounts on their own sites or rival platforms. The agency did not specify a timeline for its findings. Amazon has not publicly commented on the new court order.
