About a year before the Federal Trade Commission first opened its antitrust investigation into Meta’s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, CEO Mark Zuckerberg internally suggested “the extreme step of spinning Instagram out as a separate company.” In a 2018 email to his executives, Zuckerberg wrote that, “while most companies resist break-ups, the corporate history is that most companies actually perform better after they’ve been split up.” The memo was displayed in court on Tuesday as he

Adobe’s foray into the Twitter alternative Bluesky quickly backfired. Frustrated by the company’s business practices, users on the platform flooded its posts with backlash, ultimately prompting Adobe to delete all of its content. “Hey, we’re Adobe! We’re here to connect with the artists, designers, and storytellers who bring ideas to life,” read Adobe’s first post which has since been deleted. “What’s fueling your creativity right now?” It was an innocuous enough post that Adobe sent out on Tu

A customer checks Apple's latest iPhone 16 Plus (right) and Apple's latest iPhone 16 Pro Max (left) series displayed for sale at Master Arts Shop in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on September 26, 2024. President Trump's reciprocal tariffs could lead Apple to raise the price of the iPhone 16 Pro Max by as much as $350 in the U.S., UBS analysts estimated on Monday. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is Apple's highest-end iPhone on the market, and currently retails for $1,199. UBS is predicting a nearly 30% i

If you want to see the original source code that started Microsoft, Bill Gates is now sharing it. On Wednesday, the Microsoft co-founder posted it on his Gates Notes blog, reminiscing about the company's early days for its 50th anniversary. Gates has written plenty of code in those five decades but he called this "the coolest code I've ever written." Sharing a photo of himself holding a huge pile of paper showing the code, Gates wrote that he was inspired by the January 1975 copy of Popular Ele

1. At the Art Institute of Chicago, Joan Didion and her daughter, Quintana, were looking at a painting by Georgia O’Keeffe. The work, Sky Above Clouds IV, hung across a landing, so they had a gulf of air between themselves and the flat white shapes that span a long wall at the museum. It is a giant painting, practically a mural, as wide as the abstract Barnett Newman canvases that you can walk along and let fill the whole of your vision. But this work floats at a distance, celestially, and you

The Bondsman follows Hub Halloran (played by Kevin Bacon), a down-on-his-luck bail bondsman who gets a second chance at life after a brutal attack. The only problem is that to stay alive on Earth, he has to hunt down demons who escaped hell. His boss? The devil. I think any normal person would probably be a bit freaked out by this predicament. Still, for Halloran, it's just one more inconvenience he has to add to his list of daily responsibilities. I spoke with Bacon over Zoom about the role, a

Elon Musk today said he has merged X and xAI in a deal that values the social network formerly known as Twitter at $33 billion. Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion in 2022. xAI acquired X "in an all-stock transaction. The combination values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion ($45B less $12B debt)," Musk wrote on X today. X and xAI were already collaborating, as xAI's Grok is trained on X posts. Grok is made available to X users, with paying subscribers getting higher usage limits and m

Elon Musk’s role overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is likely a violation of the U.S. Constitution’s appointments clause, a federal judge wrote Tuesday. Theodore Chuang, a judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, wrote in an opinion there is more than enough evidence — mostly from statements made by Musk and Donald Trump — that shows the world’s richest man is really acting as the head of DOGE despite the government’s claim he is merely a “special ad

The short-seller assault on AppLovin is getting ratcheted up a notch. A week after Fuzzy Panda Research put out a report alleging that AppLovin's ad-tech software is the "nexus of a house of cards," and accusing the company of violating Google and Apple's app store policies, the short-seller firm is urging the S&P Index Committee to keep AppLovin's stock out of the benchmark index. "We are writing to the committee regarding very serious allegations that have been raised against a company that

That's gotta hurt. With a whopping seven recalls in just over a year — and a fire fatality rate exceeding the infamous Ford Pinto— it's never been a particularly great time to be a Cybertruck owner. But now, thanks to the political meddling of billionaire Tesla owner Elon Musk, it might be worse than ever. That's what some Cybertruck drivers discovered firsthand at a Lundi Gras parade on Monday — the "Fat Monday" preamble to the famed Mardi Gras — when their hulking electric tanks were endless

In the logic of the machine learning gold rush, the next breakthrough offering in the industry will be "AI agents" — personal assistants, basically, that can use apps and computers to do tasks on your behalf. If that actually happens — a serious "if," but not a completely far-fetched possibility, as early efforts have already started to hit the market — there a major side effect: it'll totally change the ecosystem of information online if it's mainly being consumed by neural nets instead of hum

Edward Gorey's friends apparently called him "Ted". But, in our family, he was always "Mr. Gorey". My father chanced on his works during a business trip, back when they were small, slight booklets that seemed handmade. With them came an entire world, curious and enticing, fashioned out of the finest and most meticulous pen strokes. It was focused on luckless protagonists with preposterous names, languorous figures who proved surprisingly gritty. Their startling encounters and unforeseen fates so

Jeff Bezos is exerting more influence over the content of the Washington Post opinion pages, as he announced Wednesday that its editorials will now focus on “defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.” But Bezos also made clear that alternate views will not appear on the pages. “We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others,” Bezos wrote in a memo to staffers this morning.
