Today's Nintendo Indie World Showcase blew my mind! First, I realized friendslop games—you know, those chaotic, loosely structured co-op indies—are about to flood the Switch 2. Think falling piano, Road Runner style. And second? I'm *thrilled*! My friends are huge fans of "friendslop," a term th
So, it's official: Skydance Media's $8 billion takeover of Paramount Global is done. David Ellison, the new chairman and CEO, is wasting no time—he's already announced a major restructuring. In a letter outlining his vision, Ellison revealed that Skydance Corporation (the new name, by the way) wil

Meta's consumer VR headsets are already top-notch for their price, but get this – next week they're unveiling some seriously impressive research prototypes at a conference! These could totally change the future of their headsets. One, called "Tiramisu," is a game-changer, boasting what Meta calls a
Zach Cregger's *Barbarian* was a wild ride – tense, terrifying, and surprisingly funny. That weird mix of genuine scares and absurd humor made the grotesque violence somehow palatable, and kept you guessing until the very end. What really impressed me, though, was how cleverly it commented on urba
Sonos has had a rough year, I get it. Lots of people are hesitant to buy their stuff right now. But hey, new CEO Tom Conrad seems really committed to turning things around and making Sonos the top dog in whole-home audio again. The app, which was a real mess last year, is much improved. There are
Guess what? OpenAI just dropped GPT-5, and Microsoft's wasted no time integrating it across the board! Think Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, even GitHub Copilot – they're all getting a serious upgrade. Remember that "smart mode" I mentioned in my Notepad notes last month? That's
Elon Musk's famously boastful claims about the Tesla Cybertruck's invulnerability – its stainless steel body, those "bulletproof" windows, even calling it a "future armored personnel carrier" – are about to get a serious test. The US Air Force plans to use two Cybertrucks for target practice! Acco
Get ready for a major upgrade! OpenAI's unleashing GPT-5, their latest and greatest language model, on all ChatGPT users and developers. CEO Sam Altman's been raving about it, calling it a game-changer, a leap forward so significant he can't imagine going back. He likened it to experiencing the fir
Hey everyone, a new bill's making waves in Congress – the Block BEARD Act. It's aimed at tackling foreign websites that host pirated content, a topic TorrentFreak covered earlier. Basically, copyright holders could ask a federal court to block these sites. This bipartisan effort, spearheaded by S
So, you know how Microsoft's been diving headfirst into AI? Early this year, Satya Nadella himself personally sped things up to get DeepSeek's R1 model up and running on Azure AI Foundry. That was seriously fast – a record, even – for getting a new model onto Azure. A few months later, Nadella w
Last year, Google dropped a bombshell on online video publishers. This massive company, raking in over a quarter trillion dollars annually from advertising, basically admitted it's not great at selling ads for its own Google TV platform. The problem? Google's long-standing requirement that publis
Peloton just blew past investor expectations this quarter – great news! But CEO Peter Stern isn't popping the champagne just yet. While revenue hit a strong $607 million (surpassing projections by a healthy $21 million!), he's focused on bringing down expenses. This means another restructuring, u
Framework laptops? Modular, upgradable, repairable – they've built a real reputation for that. So, it's a bit of a surprise (and maybe even a little controversial) how they tackled their first desktop. It's less modular than most, which is unexpected, to say the least. Now, don't get me wrong, i
Have you heard? Another wave of tariffs just hit. President Trump's latest move, announced July 31st, slaps a 15% tariff on imports from around 40 countries with a trade deficit with the US. Some countries are facing an even steeper hike – CNN's reporting on that. This is on top of the 10% tariff
