Musk-OpenAI and Big Tech Earnings on Deck This Week

This is going to be a fun week. First, Elon Musk and Sam Altman square off in a California court over the origins of OpenAI (for more details, see here).

Dyson PencilVac Fluffycones review: Almost the perfect floor cleaner for tiny apartments

The big deal with Dyson’s new vacuum is how small it is. While “pencil” is certainly an ambitious noun to compare a floor vacuum to, the slender body of the PencilVac Fluffycones ($600) brings to mind mops and brooms rather than hulking cyclone-suction tech and connected cleaning. As we described it last year, it’s the company's most stick-like stick vacuum yet. Dyson has been repurposing its engine tech into smaller... Read more
