On CNBC's “Mad Money Lightning Round,” Jim Cramer recommended buying more shares of Micron Technology Inc. (MU) here. “Right now, the stock is starting to drop, and I think it's going to probably go up to $98, $99,” he noted. On August 22, Susquehanna analyst Mehdi Hosseini maintained his “positive” rating on Micron Technology and lowered his price target from $185 to $175. Kramer said he likes Crane Company CR. “They’ve completely turned it around and are a very well-run company that doesn’t do much metal bending anymore,” he added. On July 29, Crain's reported better-than-expected second-quarter results. The “Mad…

This article was originally published in Spanish The latest generation of scanners allow passengers to carry on electronic devices and liquids without quantity limits, but the European Commission has questioned their reliability and called for the previous model to be temporarily reinstated. advertisementGoing through airport security can be a tedious part of the air travel process, but several European airports have managed to speed up the process with the introduction of state-of-the-art scanners that allow passengers to carry any amount of electronics and cosmetics in their carry-on luggage without having to remove them from their bags.

The UN agency for disaster risk reduction warned that the Asia-Pacific region is still developing disaster risk reduction strategies, with disaster risk predicted to increase by 40 percent by 2030. “These grim projections show that we are slipping away from the goals set out in the 2015 Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, a global disaster prevention plan. Instead of reducing risks, we are increasing them,” Marco Toscano-Rivalta, UNDRR Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific, said at a press briefing at the Asia-Pacific Ministerial for Disaster Risk Reduction in Manila on Thursday. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction…

Have you ever stayed up late at night engrossed in a deep conversation with a close friend? In fact, that happened to me with Google's new Pixel 9 Pro, which I've been testing for the past week. One night, when I couldn't sleep, I decided to “talk” using the phone's flagship feature, Gemini Live (which is basically the new Assistant's conversation mode).I told Gemini I couldn't sleep and asked him what to do, and in his eerily human voice he offered suggestions on how to sleep better and reduce work stress, though I'm aware that the conversation itself was actually…

Google got a lot of things right with the Pixel 9 lineup: the hardware is great, the chips are fast, and even that giant camera bump just kind of works. It's every bit as worthy of an Android flagship as it is. And, without wanting to be hyperbolic, it also feels a bit like a doomsday omen. The Pixel 9's AI photo features, especially the “Reimagine” tool that lets you change photos with just a prompt, seem like a big, worrying step toward a world where we can't trust virtually any kind of photo. These aren't AI-generated photos with too…

First impressions can be wrong, and when I walked into Old Town Manassas' newest restaurant, Lume Asian Fusion, I didn't have high expectations — not even from a restaurant that moves so freely between multiple Asian cuisines. Lume's menu includes Vietnamese banh mi, Korean kalbi, and Filipino-style sinigang fries. Looking at the menu, I worried it would be more confusion than fusion, and the fact that much of the stylish dining room is a bar with TVs blaring sports didn't bolster my confidence. But I'll admit I was wrong. Lume's South Pacific-meets-Korean theme had me singing “Bali Hai.” K Wings…
