Investors worried that artificial intelligence (AI) agents would chip away at the per-seat licensing model on which much of enterprise software is built, and the selling was severe. The group, however, has since stabilized. May was the sector’s best month in more than two decades. Though shares pulled back again over the past week, leaving much of the year’s earlier damage in place. That sets up a useful comparison between two enterprise software leaders. Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) brought customer relationship management (CRM) to the cloud and is…

Uma Thurman has passed down many lessons to her daughter Maya Hawke — and some are quite mystical. “My mother really taught me to love and respect nature and to, like, love gardening and being in nature and to love thinking about, like, herbal remedies to things,” Hawke, 27, said on the Thursday, June 4, episode of NPR’s “Wild Card” podcast. “Like, you know, you get a cold, and she would make me a pineapple skin tea because the pineapple [has] enzymes in the pineapple skin are good for getting rid of your cold.

England finally got on the board just before half-time thanks to captain Harry Kane but that was a poor first half from them in Tampa. Are they struggling with the heat? Kane got his head to a lovely Djed Spence cross, after earlier in the half being denied by a brilliant Max Crocombe save. That is Kane’s 67th goal for club and country this season, insane numbers. But Thomas Tuchel will want much more than a single goal in the second half.At the other end Peterborough United’s Matt Garbett proved the biggest threat to Jordan Pickford’s goal in the opening…

After five days of sounds from around the world at SXSW London, we can think of few acts less apt to close out the music programme than Shame. The group’s show at Shoreditch’s Village Underground on Friday (June 5) was an ode to a home-grown story, and just what can be achieved by group of mates who simply love creating together. The five-piece got their start practicing in their local south London pub (before they were old enough to buy a drink) where the regulars introduced the teenagers to the musical greats that had come before them: The Fall, The…
