Pokemon TCG Pocket's Pack Points System Needs an Overhaul Yesterday

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-19 15:33:17

Pokemon TCG Pocket is more than a mobile game: It's a money-making machine. The virtual trading card app raked in more than $900 million in its first six months, eclipsing even Pokemon Go's revenue in the same post-release time span. As it turns out, fake Pokemon cards are just as much of a hot commodity as the real thing. People love ripping open card packs, hunting down ones with their favorite illustrations of fan-favorite Pokemon. It feels great to beat the odds by pulling an elaborately-in

Welcome to Edition 8.11 of the Rocket Report! We have reached the time of year when it is possible the US government will shut down its operations at the end of this month, depending on congressional action.

Vaccine Panel Stacked by RFK Jr. Recommends Delaying MMRV Immunization

A federal vaccine advisory committee made up of members hand-picked by Health and Human Services secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recommended in an 8-3 vote on Thursday that the combined measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccine should not be given before age 4, citing long-known evidence that shows a slightly increased risk for febrile seizures in that age group.

AI tools are making the world look weird

In academia and the media, AI is often described as mirroring human psychology with humanlike reasoning, human-level performance, human-like communication. In these comparisons, “humans” are treated as the benchmark. In a provocative 2023 paper, researchers at Harvard University asked – which humans? The diversity of human psychologies has been a hot topic since 2010, when researchers found that many accepted psychological “truths” were often confined to so-called “WEIRD people”: Western, Educ

The Land Bridge You’ve Never Heard Of

For many of us, when we think of land bridges, we tend to think of the Bering Land Bridge (actually more of a swamp), which ancient humans traversed to reach North America from modern-day Siberia during the last Ice Age. But there may have been another, crucial stretch of land that aided early human migration—this time, far across the continent, on the Anatolian coast. That’s the major new finding from a team of Turkish archeologists who have uncovered over 100 stone artifacts from ten differen
