Dave & Buster's Is Revving Up Business With New Hot Wheels Menu
Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. Dave & Buster's is driving new energy into its menu thanks to a brand-new partnership with Mattel. The two brands are teaming up to introduce not only an exclusive new game into the arcade chain's arsenal, but a new themed menu as well.
Beginning June 2, Dave & Buster's locations nationwide will have Hot Wheels Victory Lap, a D & B's exclusive game that "brings the stunts, speed, and edge-of-your-seat energy of Hot Wheels straight to the arcade floor." The new game coincides with a limited-time Hot Wheels-themed menu stacked with sips and snacks for kids and adults alike, including Turbocharged Chicken Sliders with Buffalo kick, Turbo Bites donut holes served in collectible trays, a Stoplight Punch Flight featuring rum punches, and fizzy, fruity Hot Wheels Refreshers.
Look, I don't know about you, but I could certainly use a trip down memory lane playing racing games, popping donut holes, and throwing back a cocktail or two. It's like an elevated version of my after-school routine of yesteryear: Mario Kart and Dunkaroos.I can't wait until the reviews start rolling in. I might just have to move my outdoor summer plans inside to check it out for myself. If you can't make it to F1, this is practically the next best thing, right?

Eminem Joins Kendrick Lamar With Multiple Top 10 Bestsellers
Eminem's 'Shake That' returns to the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart, joining 'Lose Yourself' ... More as the rapper doubles up on the tally. UNSPECIFIED - JANUARY 01: Photo of EMINEM (Photo by Sal Idriss/Redferns) Eminem stands out from so many other rappers thanks to his ability to continuously sell music from his catalog, and not just see it perform well on streaming platforms. He demonstrates that ability again this week, as one of his singles returns to a Billboard list focused solely on pure purchases, and it joins one of his all-time classics in doing so. The rapper matches one of the most exciting superstars in his chosen field today as he doubles up on the tally. "Shake That," Eminem's collaboration with Nate Dogg, returns to the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart this week. The cut barely manages to reenter the ranking of the bestselling tunes that can be classified as R&B, rap, or hip-hop in the U.S., landing in last place. "Shake That" joins "Lose Yourself," which lifts one space to No. 7. As "Shake That" returns, Eminem joins Kendrick Lamar as the only two musicians to occupy more than one space on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales list. Lamar claims twice as many current wins as Eminem, with four current smashes. Lamar also manages to rank higher than Eminem this period – though both of the latter musician's current bestsellers are much, much older than Lamar's. His tunes "Luther" with SZA, "Not Like Us," and "Put TV Off" with Lefty Gunplay and 'Squabble Up' appear at Nos. 4, 6, 9, and 11, respectively. A number of other hip-hop powerhouses manage to remain on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart as well, but at the moment, none fill more than a single space. "Anxiety" by Doechii leads for its fourth frame, which represents the entirety of its time on the roster. Drake's former No. 1 "Nokia" dips to third place, landing just ahead of Lamar's highest-rising success. Several other well-known figures like The Weeknd, Playboi Carti, and Pharrell Williams also take up space with former champions. "Shake That" was released decades ago, but has recently surged in popularity after going viral. The tune peaked at No. 8 earlier this month and is one of Eminem's 69 top 10 hits on the tally. "Lose Yourself," which has now spent 468 frames somewhere on this roster, has somehow only ever peaked at No. 2.

Mercedes-Benz moving key corporate operations to metro Atlanta
This story was originally published on Automotive Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Automotive Dive newsletter. Mercedes-Benz is consolidating key corporate operations to Sandy Springs, Georgia, which will now serve as its North American headquarters, the company announced May 22. While the move will bring up to 500 additional jobs to the 800 already employed by the automaker in Sandy Springs, it will lead to the closure of the company's Farmington Hills, Michigan office, where many corporate functions and financial services roles are currently based, Melinda Mernovage, a spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz said in an email to Automotive Dive. The company, however, will maintain 180 research and development roles in Ann Arbor, Michigan, which eventually will grow to up to 200 jobs, she said. Some of the financial roles based in Farmington Hills will also be moved to Fort Worth, Texas, Mernovage said. Technical teams from various U.S. locations will move to a new R&D hub near Sandy Springs, where Mercedes-Benz will make a multi-million-dollar investment in a future research and development facility, according to a release from Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. The automaker said consolidating corporate functions to metro Atlanta strengthens its position for growth and reinforces its commitment to the U.S. 'Bringing our teams closer together will enable us to be more agile, increase speed to market and ensure the best customer experience,' Jason Hoff, CEO, Mercedes-Benz North America said in a statement. The company, which opened its Sandy Springs office in 2018, expects the job transfers to be completed by August 2026. Mercedes-Benz also said bringing R&D functions to the Atlanta area will allow it to leverage the region's engineering and talent pool from institutions including the Georgia Institute of Technology. It also could help create additional opportunities to collaborate with the area's thriving startup ecosystem and established tech sectors, per the release.

1 Quantum Computing Stock That Has Crushed the S&P 500 Index This Year -- Should Investors Jump Aboard or Run for the Hills?
Quantum computers can quickly solve certain complex problems that are beyond the reach of conventional computers. Investors are betting that this innovative technology could spark growth similar to the artificial intelligence trend. Quantum computing upstart D-Wave has crushed the broader market this year, and the tech company seems to be leading its industry in terms of innovation. 10 stocks we like better than D-Wave Quantum › The benchmark S&P 500 index hasn't had the best 2025 so far. It's essentially flat year to date as of May 29, but along the way, it has experienced extreme turbulence, falling by close to 20% from highs made in late February, only to recoup most of those losses. Still, even in times of underperformance and uncertainty, there are always pockets of the market that do well. Savvy investors will look in the nooks and crannies of the market to find hidden opportunities and generate alpha. One sector that has been captivating some of them is quantum computing -- an umbrella term for an innovative type of tech that capitalizes on the unusual ways that matter behaves at a subatomic scale to create machines capable of solving enormously complex problems that even powerful traditional computers can't. One quantum computing stock, in particular, has crushed the S&P 500 this year. Should investors buy it or run for the hills? Classical computers store and process data in bits -- the most basic binary units of information. They can have a value of either zero or one. Quantum computers process and store data in an entirely different way, using qubits, which can also have values that are probability amplitudes -- complex weighted combinations of those zero and one states. Setting aside the fiendishly complicated hows and whys, using qubits to run calculations allows quantum computers to rapidly get answers to certain unusual types of problems that would take years or even centuries for a classical supercomputer. But the optimistic view of quantum computing is similar to the outlook on artificial intelligence (AI) -- such machines could have a vast array of use cases if developers can get the technology to the level that experts think is possible. While researchers have been working on various paths toward this technology for many years, it's still a pretty novel concept for the general public and most retail investors. Plus, the expert view is that we're still far away from reaching quantum computing's full potential or commercializing the tech broadly. But on the road toward those goals, D-Wave (NYSE: QBTS) appears to be leading the charge on this innovation, and its stock is up over 95% this year. Recently, the company announced the general availability of its sixth-generation Advantage2 quantum computing system, which, it explains, can solve "computationally complex problems beyond the reach of classical computers." The company also says the system is built to address real-world problems in areas including optimization, materials simulation, and artificial intelligence. A white paper from the company says that its new system has 40% higher energy scale, twice the coherence time, and four times less noise than its prior one. In quantum computing, "noise" creates disruptions in the states of qubits, impairing the computer's ability to get an accurate solution to the problem it's working on. Less noise leads to more accuracy. Benchmark analyst David Williams noted in a research note that D-Wave's decrease in noise is a big deal because the capabilities of its earlier smaller prototype had already been looked upon favorably. Analysts at JPMorgan Chase also highlighted D-Wave's success in a recent report the bank published about quantum computing, noting "this prototype claims significant speedups over classical supercomputers." D-Wave's new system certainly seems to be gaining traction. Earlier this year, the company sold its first quantum computer to a Germany-based research company for about $15 million -- that sale provided the bulk of its revenue in the first quarter, and boosted its top line by more than fivefold from the prior-year period. The company also reported a much smaller net loss in the quarter. But investors should keep in mind that D-Wave already has a market cap of roughly $5.5 billion, so investors have already baked a lot of anticipated future progress into the stock. Quantum computing has exciting potential to help innovators solve complex problems in ways that could transform our everyday lives. And D-Wave seems to be leading the pack in the race to provide them with these powerful new tools. But we still don't know how long it will be before D-Wave or any of its rivals reach the point where quantum computing becomes a more mainstream technology that is cost-effective, reliable, and operable at scale. It would be difficult for a retail investor with no background in quantum mechanics to truly evaluate the technology and the progress the various players in the space are making. For this reason, while I think that investors could feel comfortable buying some D-Wave stock now, I'd suggest that it should be a smaller position in the speculative section of their portfolios.
