gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-01-25 10:30:18

Alphabet, the parent company of Google, delivered a standout quarterly report on Wednesday, with robust growth across Search, YouTube, and Cloud. But buried beneath the strong revenues was a number that tells a much bigger story about the future of technology: $85 billion.

wired.com Scott Gilbertson 2026-01-25 10:32:00

Zenbivy, renowned makers of outdoor bedding, have a clever quilt-and-sheet backcountry sleep system that gave me the best sleep I’ve ever had on the trail. The only problem with the original version was the weight, which was more than I generally like to carry on longer trips. Zenbivy has an ultralight version of its bed, but the fabrics aren't nearly as nice and soft as the original. This year Zenbivy updated its Light Bed, which sits between the ultralight and the regular (both of which were
