'Feeling Is Believing:' Samsung Shares Exclusive Details About Its Super Slim Galaxy Z Fold 7

Don't Miss This Iconic Conspiracy Thriller That's Now Streaming on Netflix

We may be past the era of Peak TV, but it's always fun to look back at the plethora of shows that hit television, propelled unknown actors to superstardom, and dominated the conversation. There are so many good ones, with obvious examples like Lost, Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad. When Vince Gilligan's hit drug drama came to an end in 2013, I was left wondering what series would capture the cultural zeitgeist next. I never thought it would be a show about the internet, of all things, but it w

Fortnite Maker Epic Games Settles With Samsung Following App-Blocking Lawsuit

Epic Games says it's reached a settlement after taking legal action against Samsung, which it sued last year along with Google over antitrust issues. In a motion filed in a California district court, Epic requested a dismissal of its claims against Samsung, saying Epic, "has reached a settlement agreement with Defendants Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc." Epic did not disclose the terms of the settlement, but the original suit focused around Samsung blocking th

Nissan feels the effect of US-China trade war

Nissan's third-generation Leaf sounds like it will be quite the attractive electric vehicle. Smaller but more spacious than the car it will replace later this year, it should be more efficient and at last feature proper thermal management of the battery. But now it seems that Nissan will build fewer Leafs than it planned, thanks to Chinese restrictions on the export of certain rare-earth elements that are critically important for electronics and electric motors. The export restrictions mean a l

This browser-based Apple Lisa simulator takes you back to 1983

Before the original Macintosh made history in 1984, there was the 1983 Apple Lisa, one of the first commercial personal computers to feature a graphical user interface (GUI) rather than a command-line prompt. Provided you had $9,995 to spare, that is. If you’ve always heard about it on podcasts but never played around with it, here’s your chance. Never heard of it? Here’s a quick summary New Apple fans probably don’t know this story, and die-hard Apple fans are probably already pointing out c

Adam Breeden/ZDNET The Google Pixel 9 Pro is currently marked down to $749 at Amazon during its Prime Day sale, a $250 discount from retail price. Last year, I was emphatic that my time with Pixel phones was over because Google had announced it was planning to inject even more AI "goodness" into Android. I saw that as an opportunity to jump ship. My goal was to buy the Nothing Phone 3. Then, as fate would have it, Nothing CEO Carl Pei announced that his company was going all-in on AI, and the

Local Grifters Discover Superman Is From Another Planet

It is unsurprising to anyone with even an iota of experience with Superman—whether they’ve picked up a comic, watched a TV show, or seen a movie at any point over the last nearly 90 years—that the character has had an immigration parallel at the heart of his story. A child of two worlds, created by immigrants, Kal-El’s escape from Krypton to find a home where he is raised to embrace the values of the American ideal is a touchstone that has been woven through almost a century of storytelling.

MIT Economist Warns AI Is Poised to Turn Economy Into "Mad Max" Scenario

MIT economist David Autor is warning that AI could create a "Mad Max" scenario, in which the job market becomes dominated by cheap and commoditized labor. Autor made his grim prediction during an interview on the "Possible" podcast, hosted by LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman and his chief of staff Aria Finger. When asked whether he thought society is headed towards a "Wall-E" scenario — where "people sit around on hovercraft armchairs watching holographic TV" — or much grimmer alternative, Auto
