gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-11-28 14:10:11

The iconic photography company Kodak could go out of business within a year. The 133-year-old American company warned investors Monday in a regulatory filing that there’s “substantial doubt” it can keep its doors open unless it pays down its debts or renegotiates its terms. In the filing, Kodak warned it has “debt coming due within twelve months and does not have committed financing or available liquidity to meet such debt obligations if they were to become due in accordance with their current

Perplexity, the AI startup responsible for the eponymous chatbot and LLM-powered search engine, has made a formal bid to purchase Google's Chrome browser. The proposed $34.5 billion deal would eclipse Perplexity's current valuation. In July, the company was valued at $18 billion -- just over half the amount of the proposed bid.

One of the programs I have been impatiently waiting for has been Alien: Earth. It's safe to say I have been a rabid fan of the franchise (through good and bad) for most of my life.

Chrome isn’t for sale, but Perplexity just offered $34.5 billion anyway

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-28 23:55:10

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Perplexity AI has made a $34.5 billion cash offer for Google’s Chrome browser. Google isn’t selling Chrome and is appealing a court ruling that could one day force its sale. Perplexity says it has funding lined up and would keep Chrome open source with no search engine changes. Google might be forced to sell its Chrome browser in the future, thanks to a US court ruling that found it held an unlawful monopoly in online search. But while the case is st

Alien: Earth succeeds where Ridley Scott's Alien sequels failed

Alien: Earth delivers everything you'd want from a series with "Alien" in the title: The iconic Xenomorphs hunting down hapless humans; gratuitous body horror; and androids who you can never fully trust. But writer/director Noah Hawley (Legion, Fargo) and his team also manage to push the franchise to new heights, delving into the philosophical questions that Ridley Scott's Prometheus and Alien Covenant couldn't fully explore. It's not just merely an Alien TV show — it's a meticulously crafted ex

After a long day of work, nerve-inducing headlines, and strenuous exercise, all I want is sleep. That's when the lyrics of Hall and Oates' song, "When the Morning Comes," a tune mainly about rejection that can be interpreted as an ode to a good night's rest, come to mind: "It'll be all right when the morning comes," the duo sing.

The search for alien life usually hinges on finding the same conditions that sustain life on Earth. But what if aliens don’t need the same things that we need to survive? A new proposal tackles this question for water—arguably one of the most important factors in the search for alien life. Intriguing new research from MIT proposes that liquids are what’s important for extraterrestrial habitability, and not just water.
