Ask a skeptic, and they’ll swear we’re watching a bubble inflate in real time, one that could pop at any second. This entire debate is now playing out in a public showdown between two of the biggest names in finance. Michael Saylor and Jim Chanos are two men with very different visions of the future, and they’re now in open combat on X (formerly Twitter). Saylor, the billi

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2026-02-19 15:15:45

While anime remakes and manga adaptations, along with the occasional original project, continue to dominate the medium, a quieter trend has begun to emerge: the adaptation of Western novels. The latest addition to this movement is Scott Westerfeld’s 2009 steampunk historical fiction novel, Leviathan, reimagined as a 3DCG anime by Studio Orange in partnership with Qubic Pictures of Star Wars: Visions fame. Though the 12-episode anime doesn’t quite recapture the visual splendor of the studio’s ear

I spent a week living like it was 1993 — here’s how it went

Nathan Drescher / Android Authority Last week, I embarked upon an experiment. I wanted to know what it would feel like to live as if it were 1993 again. That year was the tail end of the analog era, just before the internet and Windows 95 and the first dot com bubble. I was a kid then, so I had some memory of how things were. But could I still function in that world today? For one week, I lived without modern technology unless it was absolutely necessary for work and emergencies. I carried a D
