What do you do when your electric vehicle company is flailing, your shareholders are ready to mutiny, and your self-driving car venture is the laughingstock of Austin? If you're Elon Musk, apparently, you open a burger restaurant. Called Tesla Eats, the fast food joint made its debut this week next to a Supercharger lot in Los Angeles, seven years after it was first announced. Situated on a corner lot in Santa Monica, the restaurant sports a curved and sterile chic which Eater LA says makes it

Here are the details. In a new filing submitted to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals this week (via Reuters), Apple argues that a June Supreme Court decision in Trump v.

An unproven small launch startup is partnering with a severely depleted SPAC trust to do the impossible: go public in a deal they say will be valued at $400 million. Innovative Rocket Technologies Inc. (iRocket) and BPGC Acquisition Corp., a special purpose vehicle company founded by former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, is aiming to close the transaction in the fourth quarter of this year.

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR A new report reinforces previous iPhone Fold leaks about a 5.5-inch cover screen and 7.8-inch inner display. The outer screen would be smaller than the first-gen Pixel Fold’s and a full inch smaller than that of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The iPhone Fold isn’t expected to launch before the second half of 2026.

There's hope that the gaming industry won't follow Nintendo's lead with $80 pricing. (Well, at least not yet.) On Wednesday, Microsoft backtracked on the price increase for The Outer Worlds 2. The game now costs $70, which itself was considered outrageous only a few years ago. Microsoft told Windows Central that those who already pre-ordered Obsidian's shooter at $80 can get refunds at the point of purchase. Unfortunately, you can't simply get a $10 price adjustment.
