100,000 Mattresses Sold on Amazon Are Being Recalled Due to Fire Risk. Here’s What You Should Know

You'll want to check the tags if you purchased a mattress from Amazon within the past couple of years.

Here’s how to check if you have one of these mattresses and how to receive a refund. What products are being recalled?

Bitcoin rises, NYSE battles for Trump ETF, and crypto may be coming to mortgage next

The price of bitcoin rose again on Wednesday, reaching above $108,000 at an intraday high, as investors looked past the recent tensions in the Middle East and the stock market hovered near an all-time record. But the trading in cryptocurrencies was uneven, with ether and solana both slipping modestly in afternoon trading. Washington, D.C., figured in a major way in the latest crypto headlines. Fed Chair Jerome Powell spoke about crypto in his testimony before the Senate Banking Committee on W

All Helix mattresses come with free shipping, a 100-night sleep

Assembly Theory of Time

If the lineages are followed back beyond the origin of life on Earth to the origin of the universe, it would be logical to assume that the memory of the universe was lower in the past, which means that the universe's ability to generate objects of high Assembly is limited by its size in time. Some objects are too large in time to come into existence in intervals that are smaller than their assembly index. For complex objects such as computers to exist in our universe, many other objects had to f

Early US Intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites

CNN — The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by four people briefed on it. The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command

Amazon says it's expanding same-day and next-day delivery to 4,000 more small cities and towns

Something to look forward to: Amazon managed to revolutionize e-commerce with fast and affordable shipping, but it isn't resting on its laurels. The Seattle-based online retailer recently announced plans to further expand the reach of its same-day and next-day delivery services to tens of millions of additional customers in the US by the end of the year. Once the calendar rolls over to 2026, Amazon's speedy delivery options will be available in more than 4,000 smaller cities and towns across th

The xMEMS 'fan on a chip' is ready for smart glasses

As AI reignites Big Tech's push for smart glasses, here's a tech that could play a central role. xMEMS, which debuted a solid-state "fan on a chip" last year, has a new one for wearables. This could help future smart glasses melt your face figuratively — and not literally. Founded in 2018, xMEMS specializes in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. The California-based company started with solid-state speakers. Last year, it introduced its µCooling "fan on a chip" for phones and oth

Goldman Sachs and Citadel back crypto firm Digital Asset in $135 million funding round

Crypto company Digital Asset said Tuesday that it's netted $135 million in funding from a raft of major names in banking and finance. The firm, which touts itself as a regulated crypto player, said it raised the fresh cash in a funding round co-led by DRW and Tradeweb, with Goldman Sachs , BNP Paribas and Ken Griffin's Citadel Securities also investing. The investment highlights how large financial institutions are embedding themselves in the once murky world of cryptocurrencies. Previously a

Meet Google Martha, the company’s Android XR smart glasses prototype

TL;DR Google demoed its Android XR smart glasses prototype at Google I/O 2025. We now learn that this Android XR prototype is called “Google Martha.” Its companion app handles connected features like notifications, settings access, video recording from the user’s perspective, and more. After over a year of teasing with Project Astra, Google showed off its Android XR glasses on stage at Google I/O 2025. My colleague C. Scott Brown even got to try them on, and he was impressed with the demo. Si

Bitcoin briefly sinks below $99,000 as U.S. strikes on Iran trigger crypto market sell-off

Bitcoin fell to its lowest level since May over the weekend, as rising tensions in the Middle East and renewed inflation fears triggered a sharp selloff across digital assets. Bitcoin dropped below the $99,000 mark on Sunday — its lowest point in more than a month — and ether was more than 10% lower at one point, as the digital asset market became the first to react to escalating geopolitical risk. Solana , XRP , and dogecoin also posted sharp losses, dragging the entire crypto complex deep int

Moratorium on state AI regulation clears Senate hurdle

A Republican effort to prevent states from enforcing their own AI regulations cleared a key procedural hurdle on Saturday. The rule, as reportedly rewritten by Senate Commerce Chair Ted Cruz in an attempt to comply with budgetary rules, would withhold federal broadband funding from states if they try to enforce AI regulations in the next 10 years. And the rewrite seems to have passed muster, with the Senate Parliamentarian now ruling that the provision is not subject to the so-called Byrd rule

Yep, GoPro Should Be Really Worried About Meta’s New ‘Performance’ Smart Glasses

Meta’s next generation of smart glasses is here, but it’s not Ray-Ban doing the heavy lifting on design. This go-around, it’s Oakley at the center, which may seem like a strange choice at first but makes more sense once you unpack how Meta is positioning its first new pair of smart glasses since its original Ray-Ban collab. In Meta’s words, these things are all about “performance.” What does that mean, exactly? Sports, mostly. This pair focuses primarily on athletes who want to capture footage

Apple’s push in India continues: Foxconn to start making iPhone casings in the country

Foxconn is taking another step in cementing its rolerole in Apple’s Indian manufacturing strategy. After years of focusing mainly on iPhone assembly, the Taiwanese contract manufacturing giant is now preparing to build iPhone casings locally for the first time. Here’s why that matters.
