Today Netflix has announced that it's buying Warner Bros. (WB) for $72 billion. This includes HBO and HBO Max, but it will take a rather long time because WB's parent company Warner Bros.

This is now expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026, after which Netflix will acquire what's... Read more ›

Samsung may be launching not one, but two book-style foldable smartphones next year. This is based on a ton of speculation, by the way, but it is speculation stemming from the simple fact that the Korean company is currently developing a device with the model number SM-F971. This has the codename H8, and it's definitely not the Fold8, which has the model number SM-F976 and the codename Q8. It's also... Read more ›
