Mbah Amadou, a young Cameroonian who hails from the North region has invented a water-powered generator which electrifies his home. Discovered by Steve Fah, the generator was tested in his very own eyes and it powered two fans, an air-condition and a TV.

“This inspiration came as a revelation. With the problems my mother faced, since she was going cold products”. He said, he has been working on the project for the past 4 years and it costed him over 13 million francs to finally succeed. He says he can power the whole village with the water-generator but what he lacks now is proper investment.

The genesis of hydropower became an electricity source in the late 19th century, a few decades after British-American engineer James Francis developed the first modern water turbine. In 1882, the world’s first hydroelectric power plant began operating in the United States along the Fox River in Appleton, Wisconsin.

Nvidia has surpassed both Microsoft and Apple to become the world’s most valuable company. This development reflects the significant impact of artificial intelligence on the market, with Nvidia being a key player in this sector.

Per the latest information available, the net worth of Nvidia is now approximately $3.34 trillion surpassing Apple who have approximately $2.62 trillion, and that of Microsoft about $2.89 trillion.

Nvidia’s milestone comes amid an artificial intelligence craze that has made its chips and graphics processing units increasingly valuable to fellow tech companies like Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Alphabet.

Microsoft is estimated to make up 15% of Nvidia’s revenue, according to Bloomberg supply chain data, and Nvidia is estimated to control between 70% and 95% of the AI chip market, CNBC reported, citing Mizuho Securities. Nvidia, which reported $8.4 billion in net income in its 2023 fiscal year, shows little to no signs of slowing down, as analysts forecast its net income to surpass Apple’s in just four years.

Apple Inc. is facing a class action lawsuit filed by two female employees on behalf of more than 12,000 current and former female employees in California.

The lawsuit, filed in San Francisco Superior Court, alleges that Apple violated California’s Equal Pay Act and Fair Employment and Housing Act by paying women less than men for substantially similar work.

The plaintiffs claim that Apple has a centrally determined and uniformly applied policy and/or practice of paying its female employees less than male employees.

The lawsuit also alleges that Apple collected information about job candidates’ pay expectations and used that information to set starting salaries, which has had a disparate impact on women. The plaintiffs are seeking compensation for wages and other compensation owed, interest, and liquidated damages
