Webtoon Wants Video and Licensed Comics to Capture a New Generation of Readers

Webtoon is adding a new short-form video feature on its digital comics platform to continue to build out its multifaceted storytelling offerings. Many of Webtoon’s heavy hitters will get companion video episodes to supplement ways to experience its vast library. The English-language version of the app will kick off this feature with voice-acting narration, motion, and a score to highlight visual storytelling in a new way. Fourteen Webtoon originals will now include five-minute video episodes in

First images from Fallout season 2 tease New Vegas

The second season of Prime Video's Fallout is coming this December and the marketing machine is just starting to ramp up. The streamer has released some light plot details and, more importantly, several cool images. Two of these photos reference the franchise's iconic New Vegas location, which was teased at the end of the first season. Prime Video says that season two will take "audiences along for a journey through the wasteland of the Mojave to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas." However

Counter-Strike: A billion-dollar game built in a dorm room

Late one night in his dorm room, Minh Le, a computer science major, was having a hard time concentrating on his studies. Le was a whiz with computers and had little trouble with the material at Simon Fraser University, a public research school just outside Vancouver, British Columbia. But a video game he had designed in his spare time was earning Le and his co-creator more than $20,000 every month from advertising. More than 100,000 players at a time — terrorists vs. counterterrorists — were b

Google's AI Filmmaker Program Flow Helped Creators Make 100 Million Videos

Dead Take’s best scares come from real-life performances

is a reporter who covers the business, culture, and communities of video games, with a focus on marginalized gamers and the quirky, horny culture of video game communities. Dead Take, the second game from Tales of Kenzera: Zau developer Surgent Studios, is a quiet horror game where the monster is ambition and the lengths a person will go for stardom. Like a lot of horror games, Dead Take relies on jumpscares to get the heart pumping. But playing this game, my deepest, most upsetting scares didn

YouTube Is Drowning in AI Slop Channels

YouTube is nothing without its advertisers. The beating heart of the video platform, big box companies have been locked in a historic game of Whac-a-Mole against low-quality YouTube content, which they say leads to a lowered perception of brands when paired with their ads. In the past, these high-risk videos took the form of right-wing conspiracy theorists, medical misinformation, and child exploitation. Now, in 2025, it's AI slop. Recent reporting by The Guardian details the staggering rise

I wasn’t using NotebookLM for YouTube research, but this extension changed all that

Andy Walker / Android Authority NotebookLM is by far the best AI project Google has piloted, and you can’t convince me otherwise. Sure, there are flashier examples, but none match the practical, everyday usefulness of this research and notebook app. Whether it’s for analyzing insurance or legal documents or helping me navigate my car’s user and care manual, this is one AI product I use almost every day. While importing various documents into the service is straightforward, uploading online medi

Insta360 Antigravity A1 drone preview: A 360-degree FPV drone unlike anything else

If DJI is entering the 360-degree action camera market, why shouldn't Insta360 venture into drones? That was my immediate thought when the company announced its first drone, the A1, from a spin-off brand and team called Antigravity. So, what is the A1? Is it an entry-level device? A camera for creators looking to spice up their videos without years of practice? A competitive POV drone? It’s a bit of all three, but the Antigravity A1 isn’t just a drone. It will eventually launch in a three-part

Fighting with YouTube to show a preview image

TLDR: Click here for code to implement a lightweight, resilient clickable YouTube preview. YouTube videos are expensive to load on a web page. This compounds if you want your page to display many videos at the same time for the user to choose from. Before the user even plays the video, it loads 4MB onto your previously zippy page. Of course, YouTube does a decent job of caching these resources, but your browser is still doing all this work, creating another complete page context per video, exe

A bump in iPhone storage is coming, but Apple already made it irrelevant to me

We were already expecting higher iPhone prices this year, but it now seems that one of the four models will get a bump in storage in return. That’s always welcome, of course, but a move Apple made two years ago already made it irrelevant to me … iPhone 17 Pro storage bump With Apple facing import tariffs on iPhones manufactured in China, it had always seemed likely that it was going to pass on at least some of these costs to iPhone buyers. My own guess back in May was a $50 price raise, and a

CarPlay in iOS 26 enables ‘video in the car’, but support may take a while

Apple is making a major U-turn with CarPlay after a decade of not allowing video playback. Starting with iOS 26, Apple will allow apps to display video through the CarPlay screen while parked. Support, however, is a big question mark for now. The new capability falls under the name ‘video in the car’ and is mentioned on Apple’s developer website for CarPlay: AirPlay video in the car enables people to watch their favorite videos from iPhone right on their CarPlay display when they aren’t drivin

You’re not making the most of YouTube and YouTube Premium if you’re not using this trick

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Back in April, I watched dozens of YouTube videos about Budapest before traveling there. When I returned home, my YouTube home page was still full of Budapest videos, and although I haven’t clicked on any since then, I still get them in my recommendations to this day. The same happened when I obsessed over lawnmowers before buying one, and the Ninja Woodfire grill before I splurged on it. YouTube keeps recommending videos for things I was momentarily intrigued

Cassette brings VHS nostalgia to your iPhone’s camera roll

Developer Devin Davies is out with a new app today that can add a nostalgic twist to videos saved on your iPhone. Cassette, which is available on the App Store today, is described as a “VHS player for your home videos.” Cassette pulls in videos from the Photos app on your iPhone, grouping them by year and album and presenting them as separate VHS tapes. You can choose to browse through your library of videos manually, or you can tap the “Take Me Somewhere” button at the bottom to watch a random

Cassette’s new app turns your videos into retro, VHS-like home movies

Longing for the nostalgia of watching home movies, like in the VHS days, but stuck with all your personal videos saved on an iPhone? Sure, you can AirPlay them to the TV, but the experience is not the same. This struggle inspired developer Devin Davies to create Cassette, a new iOS app that plays back videos in a format similar to VHS, making your iPhone videos feel more like old home recordings. To use the app, you virtually “load” one of the tapes laid out across the screen by selecting the y

Cloud vs. Local: What’s the Best for Security Camera Footage? (2025)

Whether you want to keep tabs on your kids, package deliveries, or pets when you’re away from home, security cameras and video doorbells are an affordable and easy way to do so. But there’s one important question to settle before deciding on your ideal home security setup: Where will you store those videos? Cloud convenience can be perfect for some, while others may prefer to keep things local and subscription-free. I’ve been testing security cameras and video doorbells for many years now, and

Here’s How to Watch All of the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World Movies in Order

I first saw Jurassic Park one fateful day during middle school when my teacher rolled in a cart topped with a CRT television, popped in a VHS tape and pressed play. I was instantly hooked and I've since watched the film countless times, including on a 2013 trip to see it in 3D on the big screen at my AMC theater. Jurassic World: Rebirth hit cinemas on July 2, and I've been rewatching the entire series to get in the mood. With run times ranging from 1 hour and 32 minutes for Jurassic Park III to

If Weapons has you in the mood to take in more tales of freaky children, the horror genre has many to choose from. Here are 10 cult classics featuring that same theme, which remains as evergreen as it is consi

Scientists hid secret codes in light to combat video fakes

It's easier than ever to manipulate video footage to deceive the viewer and increasingly difficult for fact checkers to detect such manipulations. Cornell University scientists developed a new weapon in this ongoing arms race: software that codes a "watermark" into light fluctuations, which in turn can reveal when the footage has been tampered with. The researchers presented the breakthrough over the weekend at SIGGRAPH 2025 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and published a scientific paper in Jun

A Global Look at Teletext

Brief explanation Teletext is a weird technology. Although often ridiculed as completely archaic, it’s very popular in many countries still today. It seems like the public broadcasters in Europe just can’t get people to stop using it, no matter what new services they provide. You most likely know teletext in the British version, with blocky text graphics in few colours, that came intertwined with the analogue TV-signal. This is called World System Teletext. But that was only the beginning. T

I Tried Midjourney's AI Video Generator, and It's Hard to Beat the Value for the Price

Midjourney has come a long way. As one of the original AI image generators, the popular service is no longer Discord-exclusive. It's expanded its offers with new features and models, including its most recent seventh-generation image model. Now, Midjourney has joined the pool of AI companies that support AI video generation. As CNET's resident AI creative software reviewer, I knew I had to try out its V1 video model. I was most curious to see if the creative, detailed quality I had come to enjo
