gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-08-03 12:00:30

When a doorbell rings during your favorite TV show, does your dog leap up and start barking or cock their head inquisitively? According to a new study, the answer to this question may be linked to your pup’s personality. This doesn’t just apply to TV shows meant for human consumption. In recent years, dog-specific TV programming has become a popular enrichment tool among owners who want to keep their canine companion calm and entertained while they’re out of the house.

Apple launches new emoji word game to take on Wordle and the NYT

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-08-03 16:47:23

There’s a partial hint as to what the word or phrase is that you’re trying to complete, and then a whole bunch of emoji at the bottom. The idea is to take the words or sounds the emoji represent and use them to fill in the blanks. So — and this is just an example I made up, so it’s not a spoiler — you might be presented with SH_ _ _, and an emoji of an elf. St

In fact, we apparently send five billion of the little critters every day. World Emoji Day is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that Jul

At the time, U.S. debt was around $40 million. Today, it’s closer to $40 trillion.
