Yeah.

So there's another book coming called The House of Mouse, and it's by a gentleman named Robbie Whelan.

Now, the book itself, The House of Mouse, Bob Iger and the War of Secession at Disney.

The last decade represents the most consequential period in the history of Disney Company, and it talks about Bob Iger coming in.

Well, an upcoming unauthorized biography of Bob Iger and his years running Disney is already creating buzz around Hollywood.

The House of Mouse: Bob Iger and the War of Succession at Disney, written by Wall Street Journal reporter Robbie Whelan, is scheduled for release December 1st, 2026.

The book reportedly examines Iger's rise to power, the internal battles surrounding his leadership, including his friendship-turned-rivalry with Marvel, uh, chairman Ike Perlmutter.

Iger and Perlmutter were once close after Disney acquired Marvel for 4 billion in 2009.

Under the agreement, the chip giant will hire more than 100 of the startup's core engineers, the bulk of its technical talent, who will be reassigned to Nemotron, Nvidia's ongoing open weight AI initiative, which Journal tech reporter Robbie Whelan says is part of a bigger strategic bet.

The models that Poolside designs are much more similar to the types of AI models they design in China.

And this is an example of NVIDIA's CEO really looking at the world and saying, "Look, there's no reason why I should be only supplying chips to the market.

I can also make the models that make the AI world go round."

That was Journal tech reporter Robbie Whelan, and we'll have much more on NVIDIA's plans later in the week when the company reports earnings on Wednesday after the closing bell.

Coming up, we'll get the rest of the day's top market stories as some of Asia's biggest tech companies and retailers hit up investors to fund their AI ambitions.
