How Alien Life Could Exist Without Water

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-11-28 15:45:41

Intriguing new research from MIT proposes that liquids are what’s important for extraterrestrial habitability, and not just water. The new research specifically focuses on ionic fluids—substances that planeta

Liquid Glass on an iMac G4 may be the cutest thing you see today

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-12-13 11:00:26

I’ve always thought that the iMac G4 was one of the most beautiful products Apple has ever made. It’s now more than two decades old, but I still think it looks as futuristic as it did on the day it launched. I’d also say that Apple’s 2025 Mac operating system looks somehow just right on this 2002 machine, as ably achieved by self-described tinkerer Colby Sheets … Sheets described his creation of the iMac G4 with an M1 chip as a passion project in celebration of the life and inspiration of Stev

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I’m a Pixel guy, have been for years — everyone knows it. So, you can imagine I was pretty pleased when Google unveiled Material 3 Expressive, and it looked like a refinement of the Pixel UI design that I already loved. And then came Apple with its new Liquid Glass interface as part of iOS 26. Simply put, I thought it looked awful. It was hard to read, and the original glass effects looked clunky.

Apple TV+: MLS commissioner shares confusing Season Pass viewership numbers

Apple tends to be pretty tight-lipped when it comes to viewership data. But in a midseason press conference earlier today, Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber offered a rare (but puzzling) update on how MLS Season Pass has been performing in 2025. According to Garber (via Sports Business Journal), matches are averaging 120,000 unique viewers per game, a figure he said represents a 50% increase compared to last year.
