Canelo vs. Crawford: When to Watch the Fight Live on Netflix

Pro boxers Saul "Canelo" Álvarez and Terence Crawford are heading into a weekend match that will see Álvarez defending his title as super middleweight champion.

Boring Company Pauses Work After Worker Gets Crushed

Elon Musk's tunnel-digging firm The Boring Company's operations in Las Vegas were suspended after a worker sustained a "crushing injury." As local fire department and OSHA spokespeople told Fortune, authorities received a call about an "industrial/machinery incident" on Wednesday evening.

The iPhone Air Could Trigger a Thin Phone Avalanche

The biggest announcement coming out of the iPhone 17 series' launch event earlier this week wasn't about the most powerful iPhone yet -- it was for the thinnest. At 5.6mm, or less than a quarter of an inch, the iPhone Air stole the show. And even though it was far from the first mainstream "thin phone," it may just kick off the trend in a major way in the years to come. There's a long-running sentiment in the mobile industry around Apple's impact on phone trends: Once the iPhone-maker makes a s

After Kirk shooting, Utah governor calls social media a “cancer.” Will we treat it like one?

The conservative broadcaster/provocateur Charlie Kirk—murdered this week during a visit to a Utah college—had tweeted some life advice this summer: "When things are moving very fast and people are losing their minds, it’s important to stay grounded. Turn off your phone, read scripture, spend time with friends, and remember internet fury is not real life. It’s going to be ok." Kirk was not himself always a great role model for staying grounded, thoughtful, or caring to others. He was better know

California bill lets renters escape exclusive deals between ISPs and landlords

California's legislature this week approved a bill to let renters opt out of bulk-billing arrangements that force them to pay for Internet service from a specific provider. The bill says that by January 1, a landlord must "allow the tenant to opt out of paying for any subscription from a third-party Internet service provider, such as through a bulk-billing arrangement, to provide service for wired Internet, cellular, or satellite service that is offered in connection with the tenancy."

iPhone Diary: For the first time in many years, I’m not upgrading my iPhone

Today would normally see me poised over the Apple website on my Mac and the Apple Store app on my phone ready to seen which goes live first so I can finalize my order for a shiny new iPhone. This year is an exception, and although that’s partly for personal reasons, it’s mostly because I’m just not seeing any good reason to want the iPhone 17 Pro Max over last year’s model … I haven’t always upgraded my iPhone each year.

I don't like curved displays

I don't like curved displays ​ The vast majority of media uses rectilinear lenses, where straight lines in 3D remain straight in a 2D image: Each light ray lands on a flat rectangle that lies between the viewpoint and the light source, so viewing the image on a flat screen looks exactly the same as how it originally appeared. A curved screen won't do that — straight lines are no longer straight!

This is the Most Effective Type of Creatine You Should Be Taking to See Results, According to Registered Dietitians

If you look in the supplement aisle at your local pharmacy, you'll likely find different forms of creatine in gummies, powders, capsules and even drink mixes.

Apple iPhone Air's China release delayed

Participants at the presentation of new iPhone models from Apple try out the new thinner iPhone Air. Apple has postponed the launch of its new iPhone Air model in China due to regulatory issues surrounding its eSIM design, the company said.
