9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-10-14 19:32:41

’Think different’ was an iconic Apple ad campaign, and it might just be the best way to summarize the company’s new Apple TV+ strategy for movies. Here’s why recent debuts like Highest 2 Lowest and F1 reflect a growing trend of Apple making movies that Hollywood won’t. Apple has found success with big-budget, original films in an industry of sequels and remakes Just one short year ago, Apple’s movie strategy was in disarray.

The Day I Kissed Comment Culture Goodbye

It started out harmlessly, a comment on hacker news roughly 16 years ago. From there it expanded to reddit, substack, twitter. And it increased in frequency, from every few months to every week, peaking at several times a day. It became an addictive, productive habit—I would scan the headlines for a catchy title, quickly skim the piece, and then race to the comment section and type one out. Sometimes the comments were insightful or funny. At other times, curt or nitpicky. It was an exercise of

With Hollywood video game adaptations surging, it was only a matter of time before Life is Strange got the treatment. After all, even platformer and sandbox game adaptations have (shockingly) found success in this new era. A well-written adventure game seems like a much shorter leap. Amazon announced on Friday that Prime Video has ordered a series based on the 2015 game. Like Don't Nod's classic, the series will blend angsty teenage realism with supernatural elements and moral choices. And Amaz

Prehistoric Skull Found Fused to Cave Wall May Have Belonged to Mysterious Ancient Hominid

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-14 23:56:20

In 1960, a villager found something terrifyingly creepy in Greece’s Petralona cave—a humanoid cranium with a protrusion on its forehead, fused to the cave wall. Since then, researchers have been trying to date the strange specimen and understand how it got there, but these efforts so far have yielded only a frustratingly broad age range of between around 170,000 and 700,000 years. The skull’s ambiguous stratigraphic position is also less than helpful. So a team of researchers took a slightly di

Tesla Announces Plans to Give Elon Musk $1 Trillion

Tesla's board has proposed an unprecedented pay package for its CEO Elon Musk: around $1 trillion worth of shares, Bloomberg reports. It's a major escalation in the firm's increasingly desperate attempts to encourage its highly divisive leader to stick around and stay attentive. That's despite Tesla's core business imploding over the past year, largely the result of Musk's alienating behavior and surging international competition.
