Google’s secret AI strategy came out in court. Why the media should worry

One of the central arguments in the ongoing antitrust trial against Google revolves around its deals to secure default search engine status on various devices, such as the iPhone. Most consumers simply want their devices to work out of the box and rarely adjust default settings.

This week, it was revealed that despite the looming threat of a potential break

Elon Musk is leaving government. But what does he leave behind at DOGE?

It has taken a little over five months and has been anticipated for several weeks, but it now appears increasingly likely that the bromance between Elon Musk and Donald Trump is nearing its end. Musk is reportedly planning to step d

Here’s how top chief product officers are getting AI right

The AI revolution is redefining business and tech leadership—and no one is standing more squarely on the front lines than product leaders.

Once seen as a behind-the-scenes role, the CPO is now one of the most powerful voices in the executive suite. In 2020, only 4% of the Fortune 1000 had a CPO, a number that has since ballooned to almost 50%. In the next few years, we expect to see that figure grow to 70%.

Dubai is opening an influencer academy—and they’ll pay you to join

Roblox faces backlash after a report uncovers games simulating real-life school shootings

A new report has uncovered a community of Roblox players who digitally re-create and “play” through real-life school shootings.

Apple plans to dodge tariff impact on iPhones with this major change, source says

Apple aims to make most of its iPhones sold in the United States at factories in India by the end of 2026, and is speeding up those plans to navigate potentially higher tariffs in China, its main manufacturing base, a source told Reuters.

Gen Alpha may need a financial reality check

Let’s be clear: We shouldn’t expect kids to be experts in financial literacy. As much as they love YouTube, I doubt many spend their time watching videos of Warren Buffett.

However, the oldest members of this Gen Alpha group will become adult consumers soon enough, and between the way they approach money and their perception of spending, two things are qui

The ultimate guide to cheap (or free) streaming, news, and media subscriptions

Remember when Netflix cost $9 per month and The New York Times website was free? Well, the days of online media feeling like a bargain are long gone. Today, it’s become a costly convenience.

But there are still great deals to be had, thanks to cheap yearlong introductory subscriptions, budget bundles, and libraries. One thing to skip: those one-month free trials that are easy to sign up for but even easier to forget to cancel.

How to delete your personal info from the internet for free

For years, Google made it incredibly easy to look up someone’s address, phone number, age, and other personal info.

All you had to do was type in a person’s name and where they live, and you’d get all kinds of details from sites like Whitepages and Spokeo, which pull together that info from public and private sources.
