TikTok ban & new app. Helium on the Moon. NYC forest.
The S&P 500 saw minimal movement, retreating from the record high set in the prior session, as Nvidia's intense early 2024 rally cooled down. The broader market remained close to unchanged, with the Nasdaq dipping by 0.2%. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones rose by 58 points, marking a 0.1% increase.
TikTok ban? The House of Representatives has fired a shot at TikTok with a bill aiming to either sell or ban the app following revelations of location tracking by ByteDance. With TikTok rallying its 170 million American users against the bill and even former President Trump flipping his stance, the Biden Administration finds its coalition shaken. Yet, bipartisan support for the bill is strong, leaving TikTok's fate uncertain.
TikTok’s new app logo is… familiar? Despite looming threats of a national app ban and fierce competition, TikTok seems undeterred as it reportedly gears up to launch a new photo-sharing app called "TikTok Photos." However, a leaked logo suggests a striking resemblance to a familiar icon. With code leaks hinting at automatic syncing with TikTok, the social media giant may need to address concerns over originality before its anticipated launch.
No more Big Brother vibes from Airbnb. The company is rolling out a global ban on security cameras inside rental properties starting from the end of April.

Doctors Use Apple Vision Pro During Surgery.
At Cromwell Hospital in London, surgeons are taking their operations to the next level with the $3,500 Apple Vision Pro. Though not donning the headset themselves, a scrub nurse utilized the VR goggles during two spinal surgeries, dubbing it a "game-changer" in medical technology. The device allowed them to access virtual screens in the operating room, aiding in tool selection and surgery monitoring.
The Rise of Urban Healing Forests.
Manhattan is about to witness a green revolution with the arrival of a tiny forest on Roosevelt Island. Dubbed the Manhattan Healing Forest, this urban oasis will cover just 2,700 square feet but pack a punch with 1,000 native plants, trees, and shrubs. Using the Miyawaki method pioneered by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, this forest will spring to life, absorbing carbon, cleaning the air, and providing habitat for wildlife.
New Yorkers' fractional ownership hack. Amy Beihl, a 32-year-old New Yorker working in digital consulting, found a savvy solution to the New York City housing market blues: fractional ownership. Unable to afford a small apartment in the Big Apple, she invested in shares of five vacation homes in Europe instead. Not only did she save money compared to NYC prices, but she also gained the perks of vacationing and a sense of ownership. It's a win-win for Beihl, who now enjoys the best of both worlds.
