Jackie Chan’s Stunt Team Join ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’

The new Deathstalker gets a trailer, Bugonia gets a poster, and Lady Gaga joins Wednesday season two—just as another $100 million dollar musical gets an “R” rating. After Folie a Deux, is Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride a Xanadu or a Xanadon’t? Transformers Speaking with The Direct, Josh Duhamel revealed he has “not heard” about Michael Bay reportedly returning to direct another installment in the Transformers franchise, but, Duhamel said, he would “love to do it.” I have not heard that.

Nvidia beats on top and bottom lines as company expects breakneck AI spend to continue

Nvidia reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue on Wednesday, and said sales growth this quarter will remain above 50%, signaling to Wall Street that demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure shows no sign of fading. The stock, which is up 35% this year after almost tripling in 2024, slipped in extended trading as data center revenue came up short of estimates for the second straight period. Shares pared the losses Thursday. Here's how the company did, compared with estimates

I took Gemini shopping with its new visual guidance on the Pixel 10: Here’s how it went

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority Google keeps giving Gemini more tricks on our phones, like a magician stuffing rabbits in a hat. On the Pixel 10 series, Gemini talks to apps, performs unreal voice translations, helps take better photos, and basically shows off its abilities every chance it gets. Visual guidance is also one of Gemini’s newest party tricks to debut alongside Google’s latest flagships. So last week, I grabbed my fresh-out-of-the-box Pixel 10 Pro XL and headed out for some retail

Open Source is one person

The Register recently published a story titled Putin on the code: DoD reportedly relies on utility written by Russian dev. They should be ashamed of this story. This poor open source developer is getting beat up now to score some internet points. It’s very upsetting. But anyway, let’s look at some receipts. If you’re not real smrt, it seems like pointing out an open source project is written by one person in a country you don’t like is a bad thing. It could be. But it also could be the softwar

More than 10 European startups became unicorns this year

Funding season is about to restart in Europe after the summer lull, and if all goes well, it will be counting new unicorns in dozens — plural. While mega-rounds are less common than they were in 2021, this hasn’t prevented 12 European startups from raising rounds at valuations of more than $1 billion during the first half of 2025. As the usual caveat goes, past performance is not indicative of future results, but this bodes well for the rest of the year. Either way, this is also a good indicati

Will Bardenwerper on Baseball's Betrayal of Its Minor League Roots

Journalist Will Bardenwerper joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss his new book, Homestand: Small Town Baseball and the Fight for the Soul of America, which explores the consequences of Major League Baseball cutting 40 affiliated minor league teams, each one only as expensive as an average Major League salary.

With India’s corporate banking lagging decades behind consumer fintech, TransBnk raises $25M to bridge the gap

While digitization has transformed banking for Indian consumers, corporate banking has been left in the slow lane — still relying heavily on clunky infrastructure, paper trails, and spreadsheet-heavy workflows. TransBnk wants to address that gap, and Bessemer Venture Partners has invested in the three-year-old startup in a $25 million round to accelerate its progress. Over the past decade, India has experienced a significant boom in consumer fintech, driven by transformative shifts such as the

Your favorite e-ink sketchbook might be getting smaller

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR A very short reMarkable “special event” on YouTube teases a new device heading to shelves. Interested shoppers can tune in on September 3 at 8 AM ET to find out more details. For now, speculation suggests a smaller form factor. It appears reMarkable isn’t done scribbling in the e-ink margins. The company dropped a cryptic teaser video, showing off what looks like a downsized tablet with familiar Paper Pro DNA. While the clip doesn’t confirm much beyon

AI Bubble Watch: Nvidia Shares Skid on Middling Q2 Results

CDC slashed food safety surveillance, now tracks only 2 of 8 top infections

In July, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention dramatically, but quietly, scaled back a food safety surveillance system, cutting active tracking from eight top foodborne infections down to just two, according to a report by NBC News. The Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet)—a network of surveillance sites that spans 10 states and covers about 54 million Americans (16 percent of the US population)—previously included active monitoring for eight infections from pathog

John Williams Thinks Film Music Is Mid

John Williams is a composer who needs no introduction. Over the span of his 70-year career, he has crafted scores for over 100 films, earning five Academy Awards and 54 Oscar nominations with his work on seminal pop culture films, including Superman, Jaws, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, and Home Alone. However, the legendary composer, now 93, says he doesn’t think too highly of film music. In a recent interview with the Guardian, Williams said that, despite the power film music has as

Meta’s Already Bleeding AI Talent Two Months Into Hiring Spree

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to be the first to achieve AI superintelligence, a type of artificial intelligence that is smarter than the average human, and a concept that some experts are still highly skeptical. To do so, Zuckerberg announced the formation of Meta Superintelligence Labs in late June, a team dedicated to helping AI catch up to and beat its peers in the AI race. With that, he sparked a multi-million dollar hiring frenzy. Meta began poaching talent from competitors, the main ta

Here are the 33 US AI startups that have raised $100M or more in 2025

Last year was monumental for the AI industry in the U.S. and beyond. There were 49 startups that raised funding rounds worth $100 million or more in 2024, per our count at TechCrunch; three companies raised more than one “mega-round,” and seven companies raised rounds that were $1 billion in size or larger. How will 2025 compare? With only a few weeks left in the third quarter, it looks like 2024’s momentum will continue this year. There have already been multiple billion-dollar rounds this ye

Chris Roberts hopes Squadron 42 will be “almost as big” as GTA VI next year

The single-player Star Citizen spin-off Squadron 42 is slated to finally be in players' hands in 2026, 11 full years after its initial 2015 release target. And after all that time, Cloud Imperium Games CEO Chris Roberts says he's hopeful that the title will be received similarly to another 2026 release that happens to be possibly the most anticipated video game of all time: Grand Theft Auto VI. A recent report from France's La Presse (translated) suggests that Squadron 42's launch is being time

New Fossils Reveal Ankylosaur With Armor Unlike Any Other Animal, Living or Dead

Ankylosaurs were squat and thick four-legged dinosaurs with club tails and tough body armor. In other words, invincible Pokémon. A new fossil discovery, however, has revealed that the earliest ankylosaurs were several orders of magnitude more badass than their descendants. In a study published today in the journal Nature, researchers describe the partial skeleton of a Spicomellus, a genus of early ankylosaurs, unearthed in Morocco and dating to around 165 million years ago. The finding includes

Unlocking enterprise agility in the API economy

From CapEx to OpEx: The new connectivity mindset Another, practical concern is also driving this shift: the need for IT models that align cost with usage. Rising uncertainty about inflation, consumer spending, business investment, and global supply chains are just a few of the economic factors weighing on company decision-making. And chief information officers (CIOs) are scrutinizing capital-expenditure-heavy infrastructure more closely and increasingly adopting operating-expenses-based subscri

The new Return to Silent Hill trailer gives us our first look at Pyramid Head

Nearly three years on from its original announcement, Return to Silent Hill finally has a proper trailer. It’s only 40 seconds long, but in that time we get a healthy supply of foggy and eerily empty street shots, terrifying monsters and a very brief glimpse of the iconic Pyramid Head. It looks like a Silent Hill movie alright. Return to Silent Hill is based on the 2001 survival horror classic Silent Hill 2, which got the remake treatment last year and remains one of the genre’s most important

Malleable Software

In the AI era, the winners won’t be the tools you adapt to — they’ll be the tools that adapt to you. Let's take Linear. It is a beautiful, well-designed, simple but inflexible tool with little room for AI to add value. AI thrives in messy, open-ended spaces where it can design, assemble, and adapt — but in Linear, the major design choices have already been made. At best, AI might shave a few seconds off repetitive tasks or auto-fill a few fields, but it can’t reinvent the core process, because
