Parking in a city can be a problem. It’s not just about finding parking—it’s about finding the right parking. Sometimes, there’s a $10 parking spot only a block away from a garage that charges $50!
So how do you know the best place to park—especially if you’re new to an area, as I was a few years ago, or if you’re traveling and aren’t familiar with a city?
For me, the answer is a smart and completely free user-submitted database of parking spots and rates. It’ll
If you’ve ever flown through outer space, at least while watching a documentary or a science fiction film, you’ve seen how artists turn astronomical findings into stunning visuals. But in the process of visualizing data for their latest planetarium show, a production team at New York’s American Museum of Natural History made a surprising discovery of their own: a trillion-and-a-half mile long spiral of material drifting along the edge of our solar system.
“So this is a really fun t
This week, Apple previewed its redesigned (and renumbered) operating systems at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference. While the new Liquid Glass design language was the star of the show across iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26, there were some other standout feature
The latest TikTok trend has people exposing their terrible exes and most toxic relationship stories to Lorde’s new single “ ">Man of the Year“—with receipts.
Since the song dropped at the end of last month, the trend has quickly gained traction on TikTok. Typically following a slideshow format, users post a selfie before revealing a series of text messages or, worse, a voice note from truly the worst villains.
President Donald Trump announced, back on February 25, that his administration would soon debut a “gold card,” an immigration program that would allow wealthy foreigners, for the low, low price of $5 million, to become lawful permanent residents of the United States. At the time, Trump touted the program as a “great” and “fantastic” revenue generation strategy that would help reduce the national deficit, which approached $2 trillion during the most recent fiscal year.

Singles are increasingly turning to AI to boost their odds in the dating world.
According to a new study, just over a quarter (26%) of singles are using artificial intelligence to enhance their dating lives. That’s a 333% increase from 2024.
Match and the Kinsey Institute surveyed around 5,000 U.S. singles between the ages of 18 and 98 for their 14th annual Singles in America study. The findings show that nearly half of Gen
As AI car crashes go, the recent publishing of a hallucinated book list in the Chicago Sun-Times quickly became a multi-vehicle pile-up. After a writer used AI to create a list of summer reads, the majo
The Bible is now on TikTok, vlog-style.
Picture David—yes, that David, of Goliath fame—with an iPhone and influencer energy. “Asked the guy to film it, but guess what? The camera froze,” a wide-eyed David says to the camera. “Threw one rock, dude dropped, no proof. Love that for me.” He then urges his followers to like and comment.

“In three years,” a fellow tech executive recently told me with serene confidence, “Everyone will be able to make a full-length movie in AI, totally personalized for them, by just typing up a few prompts.”
I considered pointing out that this would destroy one of the central functions of art, and one of its greatest pleasures: to connect individuals across time and space through a single act of imagination. But I didn’t bother. The furious debate around AI and art mostly consists of
In 1999, I got to work on a literally once-in-a-lifetime project. As the 20th century was wrapping up, the magazine where I worked declared the personal computer the most important invention of the last 100 years. It wasn’t exactly a contrarian pick: The magazine in question was PC World.
To celebrate, we put together an article looking back at 100 defining moments in computing history. I was assigned to write blurbs on several of them. One was among the most obvious landm
