Final thought: "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." (Wittgenstein). Iran has been forced into a state-mandated silence. Tel Aviv is screaming through 64% static. The logic of the 21st century is defined by the gap between the ping and the reply. 🔇📡

El regreso del teclado físico – Clicks «BlackBerry Style»

Tras el éxito de sus fundas con teclado para iPhone, Clicks ha decidido dar un paso más allá y lanzar su propio teléfono inteligente completo. El dispositivo busca replicar la experiencia de productividad de la era BlackBerry, pero ejecutando un sistema operativo moderno (una versión optimizada de Android).

  • Diseño: El teléfono integra un teclado físico QWERTY táctil en la parte inferior, eliminando la necesidad de que el teclado virtual ocupe espacio en la pantalla.
  • Pantalla: Al no tener que mostrar teclas en pantalla, el usuario gana casi un 40% más de espacio visual para aplicaciones de mensajería y correos electrónicos.

El nuevo teclado «Snap-on» de $79

Además del teléfono propio, Clicks presentó una versión mejorada de su accesorio estrella: un teclado móvil de $79 que se acopla magnéticamente (tipo «snap-on»).

  • Compatibilidad: Diseñado para funcionar con los modelos más recientes de iPhone y dispositivos Android de gama alta.
  • Mejoras: A diferencia de las versiones anteriores que eran fundas completas, este nuevo modelo es más delgado, fácil de poner y quitar, y cuenta con retroiluminación inteligente.
  • Funciones rápidas: Incluye teclas dedicadas para activar comandos de IA y accesos directos del sistema.

¿A quién va dirigido?

Los inversores y analistas citados en el artículo ven esto como una respuesta a la «fatiga de las pantallas táctiles». Clicks apunta a un nicho de creadores de contenido, ejecutivos y entusiastas de la escritura que buscan velocidad y precisión táctil sin sacrificar la potencia de un smartphone de 2026.

Clicks no solo quiere vender un accesorio, sino liderar un movimiento de «hardware táctil» que recupere la eficiencia de los botones físicos en un mundo dominado por el software.

Here are the 49 US AI startups that have raised $100M or more in 2025

By Rebecca Szkutak, 12:48 PM PST · November 26, 2025

Last year was monumental for the AI industry in the U.S. and beyond. 

There were 49 startups that raised funding rounds worth $100 million or more in 2024, per our count at TechCrunch; three companies raised more than one “mega-round,” and seven companies raised rounds that were $1 billion in size or larger. 

How will 2025 compare? As we enter near the final month of the year, 2025 has already matched 2024 in terms of companies raising rounds that are $100 million and larger. There are also significantly more companies that have raised multiple funding rounds larger than $100 million this year compared to last.  

Here are all the U.S. AI companies that have raised $100 million this year: 

November

  • Anysphere, the maker of viral vibe-coding platform Cursor, raised $2.3 billion in a funding round that valued the company at $29.3 billion. The round was announced on November 13 and is the company’s second funding round this year.

October

  • Fireworks AI, a platform that allows users to build AI applications using open source models, raised a $250 million Series C round that was announced on October 28. The round valued the company at $4 billion.
