πGood morning. Happy Saturday! The clocks haven't gone back yet, but autumn is clearly moving in: darker mornings, the first cardigan of the season, and that faint feeling that the year has started quietly tallying its receipts. The business world spent yesterday doing much the same. For months, tech has behaved like a teenager with a new car and no curfew, faster, shinier and wildly confident. This week the grown-ups finally asked where it had been, who it had driven past, and who was paying for the dent in the bumper. Judges, regulators and more than a few big names all wanted a word. Meanwhile, the builders kept building, bigger and bolder, as if the questions were somebody else's problem. So grab the good mug, put your feet up (it's the weekend, you've earned it) and let's see who blinked first.
