This JBL PartyBox Club 120 Speaker Is Cheaper Than Last Prime Day, No Need to Wait for Upcoming Sales
We can all agree that Summer is here, right? Sure, it might not be the kind of Summer we're all excited about, but the season of long days, BBQs, and big old get-togethers is upon us. It's just nice to get outdoors and spend time with friends and family, and one key part of all of these things is music. That's where this JBL PartyBox Club 120 portable party speaker comes in, and it's currently $100 off on Amazon.
This thing is an excellent way to boost the vibes at any party, no matter where you are or who you're with. Music is the way to set basically any mood, and this speaker is one of the easiest ways to do that indoors, outdoors, or if you're in a secret third space.

Get That Music Pumping
The most obvious thing to note here is the sound itself. The speaker packs in 5.25-inch woofers and 2.25-inch tweeters to allow it to output excellent sound with a decent range and a good mix of highs and lows. You'll be able to pump the bass as needed, but also enjoy more chilled-out music, if that's what you're after. It helps better the general atmosphere with a visual display too, and can manage a few different lighting effects, all of which can sync to the music it's playing, which helps really cement the immersion.
It's portable too, which is great because it means you can carry it around using the foldaway handle, and then just plonk it down wherever you feel like. The battery life is pretty spectacular as well, as it can last up to 12 hours on a single charge, and if you're in a rush, a 10-minute fast charge can still get you an extra 80 minutes of playback. That's great for those who often forget to prepare for things ahead of time.
It's splash proof too, with an IPX4 rating, which means that a little bit of rain, a little bit of tide, or a little bit of pool party won't ruin your fun. The cherry on top is that it has dual mic and guitar inputs, which means that if you or your friends are really talented, or in a state where you're feeling like you are, you can hook into this thing and sing or play along. The speaker can't make you sound better, but you'll probably have fun with it all, so who cares? Plus, with it being $100 off, and only $300 as a result, it's a great investment for your good times.

Analysts reboot Oracle stock price targets after earnings
Larry Ellison was having a good day. The chairman, co-founder and chief technology officer of Oracle (ORCL) spoke during the software company's fourth-quarter earnings call. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter "Oracle's future is bright in this new era of cloud computing," Ellison told analysts. "Oracle will be the number one cloud database company. Oracle will be the number one cloud applications company. And Oracle will be the number one builder and operator of cloud infrastructure data centers." Oracle beat Wall Street's earnings expectations and boosted its revenue guidance, with Chief Executive Safra Katz declaring that the tech giant "is well on its way to being not only the world's largest cloud application company, but also one of the world's largest cloud infrastructure companies." "We will build and operate more cloud infrastructure data centers than all of our cloud infrastructure competitors combined," Ellison said. "Most of the world's most valuable data is stored in an Oracle database," he added. "All of those databases are moving to the cloud. Oracle's cloud, Microsoft's (MSFT) Azure cloud, Amazon's cloud or Google's (GOOGL) cloud."The results were also good news for Ellison's bank account. His net worth shot up by $26 billion to $243 billion by midday on June 12, enjoying easily the largest daily bump of any billionaire, according to Forbes data. Ellison vaulted past Amazon (AMZN) Chairman Jeff Bezos, whose net worth is $227 billion and Meta Platforms (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg, weighing in at $239 billion, for the second spot on Forbes' real-time billionaires ranking.

Oracle's earnings jumped 9% from a year eearlier, while revenue for the quarter grew 11%, driven by cloud services. Catz said Oracle expected its total cloud growth rate - applications plus infrastructure - to increase to more than 40% in fiscal 2026 from 24% in fiscal 2025. Its cloud infrastructure growth rate is expected to reach 50% in fiscal 2025 and more than 70% in fiscal 2026. And remaining performance obligations, which measures backlogged work, is likely to more than double in fiscal 2026. Oracle stock surged on the earnings beat, with shares leaping 13% at last check to just under $200. The stock is up about 5% in 2025 and 42.5% from a year ago. "The earnings were strong," said TheStreet Pro's Stephen Guilfoyle. "The sales growth was strong. The guidance was outstanding." Guilfoyle, whose career dates back to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in the 1980s, said in his recent column that the only thing he didn't like was the quality of the company's balance sheet. Total assets amount to $168.361 billion, he said, of which 39.7% are in goodwill and other intangibles. "That's a little bit elevated for my comfort," he said. "Total liabilities less equity comes to $147.392 billion including a rather daunting looking $85.297 billion in long-term debt. Obviously, this is not one of the better looking 'big tech' balance sheets that we have analyzed." "That's going to take time to get squared away, especially if the firm feels pressured to maintain elevated levels of capital expenditures," Guilfoyle added, putting his price target at "a rough $204." Related: Tesla analyst makes surprise move on stock ahead of Robotaxi debut Piper Sandler saw a blast from the past in the results, according to The Fly. The investment firm, which raised its price target on Oracle to $190 from $130 and affirmed a neutral rating on the shares, said the San Francisco company "has entered an entirely new wave of enterprise popularity that it has not seen since the internet era in the late '90s." Piper said it was raising its estimates given increasing visibility into Oracle's growth potential. Increasing capital intensity risks that could widen the net-debt position and pressure margins in the short run keep the firm on the sidelines, assuming these risks elevate volatility and hinder expansion of the stock multiple, the report says. Bank of America raised its price target on Oracle stock to $220 from $156 and also maintained a neutral rating on the shares. Fourth-quarter cloud subscription growth of 27% was driven by software as a service growing 14% year-over-year in constant currency, said B o fA, which says it is encouraged by accelerating growth that is now in line with other application peers at the mid-teens. The company's "impressive" guidance for remaining performance obligations backs sustained momentum, but meaningful investment drives the outlook for capital spending higher, the analyst says. The pipeline for Oracle cloud infrastructure and artificial-intelligence deals is clearly trending well, B of A said. What is unclear is the trajectory of profitability, with ramping capital spending likely to weigh on gross margin, the firm added.

Soft Serve at Home? This $350 Kitchen Gadget Makes It Possible
Making soft serve at home hasn't, historically, worked out so well. Most countertop appliances are designed for hard ice cream. If you go Luddite and leave a carton of ice cream out to thaw just so, it easily ends up somewhere between a milkshake and soup. So, when appliance maker Ninja released the Ninja Swirl by CREAMi Soft Serve & Ice Cream Machine ($350) earlier this year, I was—cautiously—hopeful. Would the quality of the soft serve make it worth laying out the money and the counter space? First, you mix the base—largely milk, cream and sugar—in the provided pint container. (The Swirl comes with recipes.) Then you freeze it for 24 hours. The next day, you load the container into the machine, choose the soft-serve setting, and wait 4-5 minutes as a metal shaft with a toothy blade moves through the frozen base. Next, move the pint container to the Swirl's top left corner and ready a cone or cup. Hold the lever down for about 10 seconds, and a piston pushes the ice cream through a star-shaped silicone tip similar to the kind that pipes frosting onto a cake. The ribbon of soft serve meanders down slowly, tantalizingly. The ice cream will definitely be soft, but it can also be icy. My freezer was already set to zero degrees, but I learned that carving out a spot in the very back chilled the base faster, reduced the iciness and delivered a mouthfeel closer to commercial soft serve. I also found that the base works better with eggs, and experts back me up on this. 'I add eggs when I make soft serve at home,' said Kimberly Bukowski, a dairy foods extension specialist at Cornell University and former ice-cream-shop owner. 'Eggs are a natural emulsifier, so you can use yolks without necessarily having to use any stabilizers.' Adding a couple yolks did make for a richer consistency. You have to cook them first—for food safety and thickening—in a saucepan, to about 170 degrees. Ninja includes egg-based frozen-custard recipes in the book that comes with the Swirl. But this bit of fuss lengthened an already 24-hour-long endeavor. The easier route: Use store-bought hard ice cream as your base. Commercial ice creams have stabilizers to ward off iciness and come in flavors and colors tricky to replicate in your kitchen. (I happen to love an artificially green mint chip.) The machine is loud enough to make your kitchen sound like a wood shop. And it's big, with a 12-by-10-inch footprint. But it's also a twofer, since it churns scoopable ice cream too. Most important, while the ribbon it produces isn't quite as fat as what you get at Mister Softee, it comes close. Turns out, it is pretty exciting to make soft serve at home.
