WhatsApp is launching new "Strict Account Settings" that add even more protections against cyberattacks.

The promise and peril of a new online shooter

The routine is familiar by now. A new online shooter with bright, colorful graphics launches and rockets up the charts despite the fact that you maybe haven't even heard of it.

I grew up with Alex Pretti

The day Alex Pretti was shot 10 times in the street by federal agents, I was delivering a eulogy for my grandfather, who died the way we're supposed to: old, asleep, surrounded by family. Because it's my job to coordinate visuals for this website, I locked myself in a bathroom stall, watched a video of […] Read more ›

Yahoo Scout looks like a more web-friendly take on AI search

Yahoo's big AI play is, in many ways, actually a return to the company's roots. Three decades ago, Yahoo was known as "Jerry's guide to the world wide web," and was designed as a sort of all-encompassing portal to help people find good stuff on an increasingly large, hard-to-parse internet. In the early aughts, the […] Read more ›

Samsung's much-anticipated Galaxy Z Trifold goes on sale on this Friday, January 26th, and the price is every bit as steep as we'd feared: $2,899, which gets you 512GB of storage and a phone that kind of wants to be a tablet all the time.
