Pixar, YouTube, and Google TV made me an ‘intrapreneur’ — here’s what I learned

An entrepreneur is defined as “an individual who creates a new business, bearing most of the risks and enjoying most of the rewards
an innovator, a source of new ideas.” In comparison, an intrapreneur is a leader who promotes innovative product development and marketing within the domain of a larger company. Both terms elicit a profile of a person who is willing to take risks to promote ground-breaking product development. Their... Read more â€ș

You can’t be ‘addicted’ to social media — but it still sucks

If you spend hours of the day on your phone checking social media, you’re not unusual. The average internet user spends two hours a day on various social media sites. But does your habit of checking Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok every few hours make you a social media “addict”? The term “social media addiction” is being increasingly used to describe people who spend a lot of time on these... Read more â€ș

Polk’s Reserve speakers promise hi-fi sound at affordable prices

Polk Audio built its reputation on providing hi-fi sound to a wider audience, typically dealing at reasonable prices rather than the sticker shock many hi-fi manufacturers are known for. In that spirit, the company today announced its Reserve series of speakers. Although the company positions them as a ‘premium’ line just below its Legend series, the Reserve bookshelf speakers start at just $600. Notably, Polk is using the very same... Read more â€ș

Scientists will test the world’s first nuclear fusion reactor this summer

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) will, if things go according to plan, move one step closer to becoming the world’s first functioning nuclear fusion reactor this summer when scientists conduct its inaugural test runs. Nuclear fusion has, traditionally, been used as the core scientific principle behind thermonuclear warheads. But the same technology that powers our weapons of mass destruction could, theoretically, be harnessed to power our cities. This would... Read more â€ș

How Deepfakes could help implant false memories in our minds

The human brain is a complex, miraculous thing. As best we can tell, it’s the epitome of biological evolution. But it doesn’t come with any security software preinstalled. And that makes it ridiculously easy to hack. We like to imagine the human brain as a giant neural network that speaks its own language. When we talk about developing brain-computer interfaces we’re usually discussing some sort of transceiver that interprets brainwaves.... Read more â€ș

DARPA to test AI-controlled jets in live-fly dogfights after successful simulations

DARPA‘s mission to develop AI fighter jets has moved a step closer to take-off. The military research agency’s algorithms took down an Air Force pilot in a virtual dogfight last year. In February, the Pentagon’s “mad science” unit tested how they’d perform as a team. The battle pitted two friendly F-16s against a single enemy aircraft. Each fighter jet was equipped with a gun for short-range engagements and a missile... Read more â€ș

The OnePlus 9 Pro takes S-tier photos, and I may just drop the Pixel for it

OnePlus has come a long way since 2014’s OnePlus One. Back then, it was just a scrappy startup (and Oppo subsidiary) that made its name by offering an affordable phone that could nearly go toe to toe with the big boys of the tech industry. Nowadays, it makes veritable flagship phones (with flagship prices), packing some of the best performance on the market. There’s just been one thing that’s prevented... Read more â€ș

A totally necessary ‘analysis’ of Microsoft’s Xbox Live rebranding

Once in a blue moon, I’m struck by events so monumental that I’m forced to sit and hyperventilate into a paper bag until black spots appear in my vision and the pain of existence dissipates into a pinprick — something I had to do today because Microsoft rebranded ‘Xbox Live‘ to ‘Xbox network‘. Before we delve into the analysis this switch-up requires, let me pull out my powdery context bag... Read more â€ș

Hey Siri, what’s terrible for Apple, but good for consumers? What’s that? A judge certifying a class action lawsuit against the company for its infamous ‘butterfly keyboard?’ Ohhh, you saucy thing.

Fiat’s ‘sustainable driving’ cryptocurrency is utter bollocks

*Sigh* I thought we’d moved on from stuff like this. It’s not 2017 anymore, but obscure and useless cryptocurrencies are still trying as they might to be A Thing.

Founders, you’re getting sustainability messaging all wrong

Over the past few years of working with impact-driven startups, I’ve seen the same issue come up over and over again: most impact entrepreneurs suck at communicating sustainability. They usually go one of two ways — overly social or too scientific — and considering that we’re at a crucial point in the fight against climate change, that’s a huge problem. So here are some tips on how to improve your... Read more â€ș
