Who is Colette Kress, Nvidia's interim CEO?

CHICAGO — With Jensen Huang's resignation on Thursday, Nvidia is bringing longtime tech executive Colette Kress into the role of interim CEO. Kress first joined the California-based chipmaker back in 2013. She’s served as Nvidia's executive vice president and CFO ever since — and will now be stepping into the top post amid the company's most tumultuous chapter yet. Huang, who co-founded Nvidia over three decades ago and has since become a singular figure in the tech world, resigned after reports of his extramarital affairs came into the spotlight this week. He faced growing calls to step down after The New York Times reported on his relationship with a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy — and also late Wednesday, when the outlet and later others found Huang was said to have had another affair with an Nvidia employee.

Japanese Korean activist's takedown of far right goes viral online with 10 million views

In a 1996 debate program on Japan’s Asahi TV, right-wing commentators mocked former Korean comfort women for demanding an apology, sneering, “Isn’t all they want compensation?” A woman in a red jacket calmly rebuked them: “That is an expression that insults human beings. Every person has dignity, and that is why their honor must also be restored.” Throughout the debate, she maintained her composure, elegantly dismantling the right-wing commentators’ distorted arguments point by point. The footage, still widely discussed today, has amassed 10 million views across YouTube and other social media platforms. The woman in the debate was Shin Sugok, a third-generation Zainichi — an ethnically Korean resident of Japan. At the time, she was an entrepreneur running a corporate consulting firm, as well as an author, critic and lecturer. She had achieved an unusually high level of success for a Zainichi woman. Despite countless threats from far-right groups in Japan, she has continued her activism for decades. A documentary film titled “Horoomon,” which chronicles Shin's life

Trump says ex Apple CEO Cook is 'a legend,' should replace Huang at Nvidia

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that former Apple Inc Chief Executive Tim Cook should replace Jensen Huang as the CEO of Nvidia. "NOW THAT Nvidia CEO JENSEN HUANG, who has done a fantastic job, has resigned, there is only one man to take his place - TIM COOK of Apple," Trump said on social media.
