About 1 week ago After ten years in the red, Tesla Motors, a maker of electric cars based in Silicon Valley, has turned a profit of $11.2m in the first quarter on unexpectedly strong demand for its new Model S sedan. The results were well above the forecasts of even the most optimistic analysts http://econ.st/125LFkS

About 13 weeks ago Its office in Senegal is just one sign that IBM believes Africa will bring in billions. Lately it has been paying special attention to the continent, but it is not alone. Africa’s chief attraction is that it has been growing while richer regions have stalled. Its demographic prospects are promising, too. As America, Europe and China age, Africa can expect a bulge of workers in their productive prime. Though skills are in short supply, they are becoming more abundant http://econ.st/XT0Vjf

About 4 weeks ago When Kevin "KAL" Kallaugher drew his first cartoon for The Economist, in March 1978, he was making ends meet by sketching tourists in London's Trafalgar Square. Thirty five years later, KAL has produced more than 4,000 illustrations for the paper. Tomorrow at 11am ET / 4pm BST, KAL will be answering readers' questions in a live Google Hangout. Pose a question by commenting below, more information is available at our event page http://bit.ly/10XbTW0 #askeconomist

About 4 weeks ago The tangled web of wires beneath computer desks could soon be a thing of the past. The same goes for the jumble of cables that feeds audio equipment and TV sets. The boxes of electronics around the home and office will still need to be plugged into power sockets. But the means for delivering signals to and from them are about to go wireless in a big way. And not just any old wireless http://econ.st/11gCiOL

About 5 weeks ago Male lions like to take things easy. When peckish, they scrounge the kill secured by the females, famous for being the ones to bring home the bacon. That stereotype, perpetuated for decades in nature documentaries, is not, however, the whole truth. Recent studies suggest that lions, too, are proficient hunters—but their tactics differ from those of females http://econ.st/17w0vFO
