Like some sort of corporate Russian doll, SpaceX has announced its acquisition of xAI. The merger will “form the most ambitious, vertically integrated innovation engine on (and off) Earth,” according to, well, owner Elon Musk.

But SpaceX is apparently key to Musk’s latest scheme to build AI data... Read more ›

Had William Foege been a military general or a CEO or a politician, his death on January 24 would have been bold-type, front-page news.

Civilization 7 was a bit of an odd release last year. With a Metacritic score of 79 and positive comments from Take-Two's leadership, it was considered a success. Longtime Firaxis fans weren't as kind to it though, as many felt it was too disruptive or shallow. As expected, 2026 might be the year the studio makes the game's future brighter.

When talking about the best VPNs, I frequently warn about the dangers of trusting free VPNs without verifying them. Although there are a few free VPNs worth recommending, many other free providers are ineffective, malicious or looking to profit off their users (or sometimes all three). Even the best free VPNs work a lot better once you subscribe and access their full service.This can be frustrating if you want to... Read more ›

The problems started last Monday, January 26, when TikTok... Read more ›

Consumers aren't helped by the sheer amount of duds sold in app stores right next to the... Read more ›
