German retailers' inventory saw DDR5 memory prices stabilizing for the first time in months, with some kits even miraculously seeing price cuts compared to the start of January.

Even in 2026, VR still feels like tech that isn't quite ready for prime time. When Nintendo released the original Virtual Boy way back in 1995, it was hard for my 10-year-old brain to comprehend a 3D console with a bipod, a facemask and a monochrome red display. Then, when you factor in weak sales that led to the system being discontinued after only a year, you end up with... Read more ›

If quarterly earnings announcements were a contest, Mark Zuckerberg would have won Wednesday. You might even say investors are coming to terms with Meta Platforms’ you-only-live-once approach to spending on AI. The owner of Facebook and Instagram reported stronger than projected fourth-quarter growth of 24% and projected that revenue growth would accelerate to 30% in the first quarter. Meta hasn’t grown that fast since the go-go days of 2021. To... Read more ›
