Good Evening!
You might be getting money from Adobe soon.
Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. 🚙 Travis Kalanick is Starting a New Self-Driving Company
Uber founder Travis Kalanick is reportedly starting a new self-driving vehicle company with “major backing” from his first-born ride-sharing company. Kalanick is also considering acquiring Pronto, the autonomous vehicle startup focused on industrial and mining sites created by his former Uber colleague, Anthony Levandowski. (TechCrunch)
2. 👀 Do You Actually Know What Your SEO Agency Is Doing?
Most link building happens behind the curtain: vague reports, unclear logic, and zero strategic visibility. You can blindly trust that your agency knows what it’s doing, but you’re gambling with money that you can’t afford to lose.
Make 2026 the year you switch over to uSERP, the SEO agency that’s a breath of fresh air. They show exactly what was built, why it was built, where authority was applied, and how rankings moved. It’s proof you can trust.
3. 🤝 Amazon Struck a Deal to Offer Cerebras’ AI Chips on AWS
Amazon and Cerebras Systems have reached a deal to combine the two companies’ computing chips in a new service aimed at speeding up chatbots, coding tools, and other AI services. Under the deal, Cerebras chips will sit inside Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centers and be linked to Amazon’s own Trainium3 custom AI chips. (Reuters)
4. 📈 Set it & Forget it, Affordable SEO
Most SEO agencies will charge you $5,000 a month, promise the world, and deliver nothing but a confusing report and disappointment. Ranked is the exact opposite.
These guys are almost too good to be true, but they’re actually amazing. We use them ourselves, and the results speak for themselves:
Real SEO that works — weekly content, site optimization, and quality backlinks
Full transparency — clear deliverables and easy-to-read reports
No BS contracts — all plans are month-to-month, starting at just $99/month
I know what you’re thinking: “$99? Is it a scam?” Nope. Just a team that figured out how to make SEO actually affordable and effective.
5. 💰 Adobe Is Paying $75M to Settle U.S. Cancellation Fee Lawsuit
Despite their disagreement with the accusations, Adobe will pay $75 million to resolve a lawsuit filed by the U.S. government alleging that the software giant harmed consumers by making its subscriptions intentionally hard to cancel and concealing termination fees. Adobe will also provide $75 million worth of free services to “affected customers” alongside its DOJ payment. (The Verge)
6. 🇨🇳 Apple is Dropping its App Store Commission Rate in China
Apple is dropping its commission rate in the App Store in China from 30% to 25% after discussions with the Chinese regulator. The new 25% commission, which automatically goes into effect on March 15, will apply to paid apps and in-app purchases, while a lower 12% commission (down from 15%) will be charged for auto-renewals of in-app purchases after their first year.

7. 🤖 AI Agents Could Easily Send College Grad Unemployment Over 30%
According to ServiceNow’s CEO Bill McDermott, AI adoption could lead to significant job struggles for entry-level workers. In a recent CNBC appearance, McDermott said unemployment for new college grads “could easily go into the mid-30s in the next couple of years. So much of the work is going to be done by agents, so it’s going to be challenge for young people to differentiate themselves.” (CNBC)
