We're treating this as like a fun side business for Toto.

But at this point, it's almost their main business.

42% of its total operating income came from this neck of the woods.

So at a certain point, maybe it's not a toilet.

Let's bring to the finish with some final headlines.

OpenAI's quest to kill the iPhone is kicking off in earnest this year, according to comments from its chief of global affairs this week.

Speaking to Axios, he confirmed that OpenAI is on track to unveil its first hardware device in the second half of this year.

Coinciding with that confirmation, some leaks revealed that the device, spearheaded by former Apple design chief Johnny Ive,

could be a pair of earbuds.

If that wasn't spicy enough, the rumor mill also turned out a report that Apple is working on a wearable AI pin of its own that resembles an AirTag.

Neil, right now, AI glasses are the dominant form factor, but in the span of a few days, two totally new approaches look to be coming

for our ears and our chests.

Yeah, and that company got sold for pennies to HP.

So it is fascinating that Apple saw that and still is going the pin route.

Maybe they have a technological leg up because they have manufactured a lot of AirTags and they are very familiar with that form factor.

The earbuds is interesting.

This is codename Sweet Pea.

Sam Altman and co have kind of hyped this up as being a very simple device.

And what's more simple than essentially an AirPod knockoff that whispers sweet nothings?
