Tenable’s after-hours AI leaves one hard question: who approved the fix?

Microsoft put its agents and data centres on one scorecard. The agent's price disappeared inside it.
The new Agents and Infra division accounts for $268.1 billion of recast 2026 revenue. That giant number measures a management stack, not the sales or profit of an AI agent. The distinction matters when one company chooses where the cost of intelligence lands.

ServiceNow’s AI usage rose 13-fold. The AI revenue line is still blank.
A $1.7 billion year-end contract target and a surge in production use make a loud story. ServiceNow’s third-quarter accounts leave the conversion from one to the other offstage.

Korea’s 26% App-Payment Detour Failed the Test of Choice
A developer could offer a payment route built by someone else, but Korea’s communications regulator says the route still carried the store’s commission, lost features and extra hurdles. On 28 October, it turned that judgment into its first final enforcement case under the…

GE Vernova has 122 GW in the queue. Five GW left the factory.
The gas-turbine pipeline grew, but its stages moved at different speeds: 8 GW of new reservations, 13 GW promoted to orders and 5 GW shipped. The gap is the manufacturing job ahead.

Britain’s SIM-Farm Law Starts Today. Five Cards Are Only the First Test.
The Crime and Policing Act’s new offences take effect on 29 October. The line is not a tray-counting contest: a device must meet a communications-capability test, while possession and supply each have their own defence.

Bulgaria Named Two DSA Authorities. Brussels Says They Still Lack Power.
Bulgaria has a coordinator, two specialist authorities and a published rule for how they work together. The European Commission says the appointments, powers and penalty rules still fall short of the Digital Services Act. The next test is whether the law on paper gives each body…
