TiVo won the court battles, but lost the TV war

In the 2000s, TiVo reached heights few companies ever achieve. Like Google and Xerox, its name became a verb. People had to "TiVo" the new episode of Battlestar Galactica or game 4 of the Red Sox vs. Cardinals, not "record" it. While it didn't invent the DVR, TiVo popularized it and many of the features […] Read more

Easy Delivery Co. is a cozy, Lynchian dream

I have been a fan of David Lynch ever since a friend's older brother interrupted a 13th birthday celebration to insist we all watch Eraserhead. In the realm of horror movies, it's a common way to be introduced to a seminal film: be it in a friend's basement, illicit underage viewings, or a stray recommendation […] Read more

Outside a florist-cum-coffee shop in upstate New York, a row of vintage cars gleam in the sun. It's unseasonably warm for early October, so there's a veritable crowd of car enthusiasts snapping photos of Ferraris, Porsches, and a vintage Alfa Romeo. Patient girlfriends and wives roll their eyes, sipping on maple matcha lattes and eating […] Read more

Inside General Motors' fast-growing battery labs in suburban Detroit, scientists and engineers are analyzing stresses on lithium-ion cells: desert heat, arctic cold, jungle humidity, enough charging and discharging for a half-dozen Frankenstein reboots. For The Verge's exclusive tour of these secretive labs, I watch researchers peer at cell chemistries down to the atomistic level, using […] Read more

Facebook’s new button lets its AI look at photos you haven’t uploaded yet

Meta has rolled out an opt-in AI feature to its US and Canadian Facebook users that claims to make their photos and videos more “shareworthy.” The only catch is that the feature is designed for your phone’s camera roll — not the media you’ve already uploaded to Facebook. If you opt in, Meta’s AI will […] Read more

The best budget smartphone you can buy

Some of us take a kind of “I eat to live” rather than an “I live to eat” approach to gadgets. They’re tools that help you get things done, not something you want to invest a lot of time or money in. If that’s you — and there’s no judgment here from a certifiable gadget […] Read more

Keeper, the latest from the studio behind Psychonauts and Grim Fandango, is obviously a strange game. You play as a building that can walk and solve puzzles and […] Read more
