Google 🗣️ This is an open thread. We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts in the comments and vote in the poll below — your take might be featured in a future roundup. Several weeks ago, I published an open thread highlighting how underwhelming the Pixel 10 leaks had been up until then. With few aesthetic changes over the Pixel 9 expected, I wasn’t overly optimistic that Google intended to introduce meaningful changes to the 2025 lineup. Well, in recent weeks, I’ve warmed to that idea.

While it was President Joe Biden who signed the law that would force ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok or face a ban, it’s his successor, Donald Trump, who has yet to fulfill his promise of arranging a deal to keep TikTok running, legally, in the United States. The current deadline for a deal is September 17th. Still, it hasn’t stopped Trump’s administration from creating @WhiteHouse on TikTok, which published its first post on Tuesday night: a video celebrating Trump’s accomplishments. The

Report: Apple strikes out of baseball coverage on Apple TV+, Friday Night Baseball to end

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-11-13 21:28:43

A package of MLB baseball rights are currently up for grabs. As recently as last week, Apple was said to be a front runner to land expanded baseball streaming coverage. But according to Yahoo Sports reporter Kendall Baker, that is no longer the case. According to the report, Apple has elected to exit its relationship with Major League Baseball altogether. That means it will add no new Sunday games, and it also implicates the future of Friday Night Baseball. Friday Night Baseball currently strea

He’s ignorant, not intolerant. He’s naive, not intentionally cruel. He’s a bumpkin, a rube, and a moron, maybe, but a jerk? For the most part, no, I wouldn’t say so.

Battlestar Galactica might finally get the video game adaption it deserves

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-14 21:00:32

In the 16 years since Ronald D. Moore's take on Battlestar Galactica ended its official TV run in 2009, the most surprising thing about the series is that it hasn't inspired many great games. Sure, more than a few releases have carried the Battlestar Galactica name, but none of those have managed to capture what made the 2003 miniseries and later 2004 show so special. That might change early next year when Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes arrives. Ahead of today's announcement of the game,
