Japan&#8217;s Punctuality Extends Beyond The Boardroom Into Public Events — Photo Generated With Dall_E 3
Japan&#8217;s punctuality extends beyond daily commutes and boardroom meetings to even large-scale public events and festivals. These events often follow a strict schedule, with activities kicking off exactly on time. This precision planning is essential, not only for the organizers who juggle multiple performances and activities but also for attendees who plan their day around these timetables.

5 Things That Show Japan's Unreal Obsession With Being On Time

Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been updated with comment from an Amazon spokesperson. 
NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares are falling in early trading Tuesday following a report suggesting Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) halted orders of the company&#8217;s &#8220;superchip&#8221; in order to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/05/38938354/exclusive-investing-in-ai-diversify-beyond-the-likes-of-nvidia-says-wisdomtrees-cio">wait for updated models</a>.
What To Know: According to a Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/75ac7f61-071a-437c-a35e-09f968c6a568">report</a>, Amazon&#8217;s cloud computing business has stopped ordering Nvidia&#8217;s most advanced superchip as the company plans to wait for more powerful models that were introduced this year.
Nvidia released its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37827520/beyond-the-limits-of-physics-jensen-huang-says-nvidia-is-not-just-a-chipmaker-puts-2t-valuation-up-a">next-generation chip architecture</a> in March called Blackwell.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/03/37822130/nvidias-blackwell-gpus-set-new-standards-in-ai-computing-power-and-market-dominance-will-their-stoc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Blackwell GPUs</a>&nbsp;contain 208 billion transistors&nbsp;and are expected to cost somewhere between $30,000 and $40,000. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the Blackwell chip will be twice as powerful as Nvidia&#8217;s Grace Hopper, which was released about a year earlier. 
Amazon Web Services reportedly told the Financial Times that the company has &#8220;fully transitioned&#8221; away from its previous orders for Hopper superchips and is now ordering Nvidia&#8217;s latest Grace offering, citing a small window of time <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38924492/nvidia-set-for-steady-gains-with-software-centric-shift-and-blackwell-transition-an">between the release of Hopper and Blackwell</a>.
UPDATE: "To be clear, AWS did not ‘halt' any orders from NVIDIA. In our close collaboration with NVIDIA, we jointly decided to move Project Ceiba from Hopper to Blackwell GPUs, which offer a leap forward in performance,&#8221; an Amazon spokesperson told Benzinga in a statement Tuesday afternoon. 
The report indicates that Nvidia declined to comment on the developments because of the quiet period it&#8217;s in ahead of its quarterly earnings report this week.
Most analysts expect Nvidia to continue to highlight enormous demand for its AI chips, but others like Citigroup have expressed concerns that there could be a bit of an &#8220;air pocket&#8221; in demand between Hopper and Blackwell. 
Morgan Stanley analysts also warned this week that there is some &#8220;anxiety&#8221; on Wall Street about a potential slowdown in demand ahead of the Blackwell rollout. 
Nvidia is due to report financial results for the first quarter after the market close on Wednesday. The company is expected to report earnings of $5.59 per share and revenue of $24.645 billion, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

At JPMorgan&#8217;s 52nd annual TMC conference in Boston, Microsoft Corp&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CVP of Cloud &amp; AI Commercial Marketing, Alysa Taylor, shared valuable insights into the company&#8217;s evolving AI strategy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MSFT/news">and cloud initiatives</a>.
Analyst Mark R. Murphy highlighted several critical takeaways from the session that are essential for investors.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">End-To-End AI Integration Across Microsoft Cloud Stack</h3>
Microsoft&#8217;s commitment to AI is evident in its integration across the entire cloud stack. The company has embedded AI at every level of the Microsoft Cloud, offering a differentiated stack that includes first-party assets like M365, Dynamics, GitHub, Power Platform, and Security Services. 
The extensibility of these assets is enhanced through tools like Copilot Studio, enabling organizations to build customized AI solutions. With over 1,700 models in its catalog, Microsoft emphasizes the importance of &#8220;fit-to-purpose&#8221; models rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. 
Key universal AI use cases identified include:
<ul>
<li>Customer experience</li>
<li>Employee productivity, and</li>
<li>Operational efficiency.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Azure&#8217;s Halo Effect</h3>
Azure continues to drive significant growth for Microsoft, fueled by strong AI demand signals. 
Organizations are transitioning from AI experimentation to full-scale deployment, and ecosystem partners are gaining more AI specializations. Microsoft noted that one-third of its 53,000 Azure AI customers are new to the platform, and half are utilizing Azure&#8217;s data services. 
This highlights a trend where customers are leaning into cloud investments, not just for core AI services but for a broader range of offerings.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic CapEx Investments</h3>
During its recent earnings call, Microsoft mentioned that near-term AI demand is slightly outpacing available capacity. 
At the conference, the company clarified that this is not a significant concern. Microsoft&#8217;s CapEx investments are driven by conservative demand forecasts, which sometimes result in demand exceeding supply in the short term. 
The adoption of AI services is happening faster than previous technological shifts like cloud computing and smartphones, underscoring the strong market potential.
For investors, these insights underscore Microsoft&#8217;s positioning in the AI and cloud markets. The company&#8217;s strategic approach to AI integration, coupled with the expanding footprint of Azure, could position Microsoft well for continued growth. 
As AI adoption accelerates, it remains to be seen whether Microsoft&#8217;s conservative yet forward-looking investment strategy would deliver it long-term success.
Price Action: Murphy maintains an Overweight rating on Microsoft, which is closed at $429.04 per share Tuesday — up 0.87%.

Why It's Important: The move to accept cryptocurrency donations for his campaign comes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/05/32500881/presidential-candidate-robert-f-kennedy-jr-to-accept-campaign-donations-in-bitcoin-outline">as independent competitor</a> in the 2024 election Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has <a href="https://www.kennedy24.com/donate">accepted </a>Bitcoin for months.
Trump&#8217;s effort to attract the cryptocurrency crowd comes as President Joe Biden and several key Democratic leaders in Congress have been recognized <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38880951/senate-votes-to-overturn-controversial-sec-crypto-rule-but-will-biden-veto-it">as anti-crypto </a>in policy.
"As our President, Donald J. Trump has reduced regulations and championed innovation in financial technology, while Democrats, like Biden and his official surrogate Elizabeth Warren, continue to believe only government has the answers to how our nation leads the world," a statement reads.
Trump references that Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/03/31602091/dogecoin-creator-disapproves-elizabeth-warrens-anti-crypto-army-plans">building an "anti-crypto army."</a>

Rudy Giuliani is entering the coffee business at a bitter time in his life. 
A onetime New York City mayor, Rudy Giuliani now faces multiple legal challenges related to the 2020 election.
Similar to his former boss Donald Trump, Giuliani could be using the increased attention and legal challenges as an opportunity to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/08/34052207/monetizing-the-mug-trump-arrest-photo-encapsulates-a-sharp-chapter-in-american-history"> raise money from supporters.</a>
While Trump sold mug shot merchandise and non-fungible tokens, Giuliani is launching Rudy Coffee.
"You all know I stand by the truth and if I put my name on something, I truly believe in it," Giuliani said in a video he <a href="https://x.com/RudyGiuliani/status/1792981570690662754">tweeted</a> Tuesday. 
Giuliani said he's "incredibly proud of&#8221; the organic specialty coffee. 
"It's the best coffee you'll ever try."
Giuliani Pleads Not Guilty In Latest 2020 Election Case: Giuliani pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges in Arizona related to fake electors in the 2020 election. Several other Trump allies who were charged also pleaded not guilty.
Giuliani attended the arraignment virtually via Zoom. Prosecutors said that the former New York mayor has been "uncooperative" in the case, as <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/rudy-giuliani-expected-arraigned-arizona-election-interference-probe/story?id=110436094">reported </a>by ABC. He was pursued in recent weeks by process servers, who struggled to track him down with papers related to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/05/38859505/where-on-earth-is-rudy-giuliani-arizona-prosecutors-cant-find-former-nyc-mayor-trump-ally"> the upcoming trial.</a>
The judge threatened to mute Giuliani on the Zoom call after the former mayor told stories of alleged threats made against him.
A Cup Of Joe With Rudy: The Rudy.coffee website reveals three flavors: "bold coffee," "decaf coffee" and "morning coffee." The bags are available for pre-order with shipping expected in June. The 2-pound bags sell for $29.99 each.
"I've moved at a fast pace, and have had many different roles in life, but the one constant thing has been a good cup of coffee, which is now proven to have health benefits."

The new coffee business comes months after the former mayor and Trump lawyer filed for bankruptcy in December.
The bankruptcy filing came after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36269387/rudy-giuliani-hit-with-148m-payment-after-defamation-ruling-in-georgia-election-case-it-would-be-the">Giuliani was found liable</a> for defamation against two 2020 Georgia election workers. Giuliani was ordered to pay $148 million to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.
According to the New York Post, Giuliani was <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/05/20/us-news/rudy-giuliani-launches-coffee-brand-amid-bankruptcy-case-and-legal-woes/">suspended </a>from a radio job with WABC in New York after refusing to stop spreading 2020 election misinformation. The $15,000-per-month job was one of Giuliani&#8217;s last sources of income. 
Giuliani turns 80 on May 28 and faces additional legal challenges ahead.
