America’s body brokers turned donated bodies into a multimillion-dollar trade

A 2017 Reuters investigation traced 50,000 donated American bodies through 34 brokers in just four years, with more than 180,000 individual parts shipped to buyers ranging from surgical schools to Army blast-test labs — almost none of it described on the consent forms families signed.

Traditional SaaS Loses in Corporate Budget Shift

As businesses spend more on AI from Anthropic and other new providers, traditional enterprise apps and IT services providers are sometimes fighting for a smaller piece of the pie.In one example, French biopharmaceutical giant Sanofi told me it’s using its own in-house AI agent developed with Claude Code and software from an AI startup, Elementum, to reduce usage of ServiceNow IT management software.  Read more

Samsung said to discontinue its Galaxy Z Flip lineup after the Flip8

According to a Chinese tipster with a solid track record, especially when it comes to Samsung-related leaks, the company might kill off the Galaxy Z Flip lineup. And the Galaxy Z Flip8 will be the last of its kind. Now, we've heard these speculations a few times over the years, but they never came out from somewhat reputable sources like Ice Universe. And at the time, it didn't sound plausible... Read more

Poll: With Galaxy and Pixel Price Increases on Horizon, Are You Upgrading?

While companies like Samsung report 1800% profit jumps, the latest intel suggests that consumers will see price increases on essentially all new phones (and wearables) due to a supposed RAM shortage. This poses a question. With prices going up, and consumers feeling the squeeze nearly everywhere else in life, will 2026 be the year you...

The promise of AI was a worker who never sleeps, never books leave, and never asks for a raise. The reality is messier: for a growing number of firms, the machine meant to replace payroll is starting to look like a payroll of its own

Uber spent its entire 2026 budget for AI coding tools in four months. By April, after an assistant called Claude Code had spread across its engineering teams, the money set aside for the whole year was gone. The company then capped what any single employee could spend on such tools at $1,500 a month. A ... Read more Read more

There’s a German idea that explains why the most globally dominant companies in their field are ones you’ve never heard of — quiet, family-run, mid-sized firms that would rather own an obscure world market than ever be famous

If you own a dog, there is a reasonable chance its retractable lead was made by a company called Flexi, based in a town in northern Germany, which by its own account and most industry estimates holds around 70 percent of the world market for exactly that product and does nothing else. Its founder’s stated ... Read more Read more

An American pays a $969 list price for the same insulin-class weight-loss pen a German gets for around €59 — and the reason traces back to a century-old Danish rescue mission

Ozempic lists for roughly $969 in the United States and around €59 in Germany — the same pen, the same molecule, made in the same Danish factory. The reason winds back to a Nobel laureate's 1922 trip to Toronto. Read more

Thought of the day by Helen Mirren: “You die young or you get old. There’s nothing in between.”

For most of human history, the average person did not live to see their thirty-fifth birthday. As late as 1900, the global average life expectancy was around 32 years. Getting old — the thing people now complain about, dread, spend fortunes trying to slow — is, in demographic terms, an almost brand-new experience. Many of ... Read more Read more
