Once only found on the shin-level shelves in the “international” section of our local video rental shops, anime as an art form has become a global phenomenon and pillar of pop culture. Its influence

That excess internet speed is going to come in handy next year because many of the most anticipated films — including the Dune reboot, Matrix 4, and Godzilla vs. Kong — are going to be streaming the

DoorDash has been ordered to pay $2.5 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that the company used customer tips to cover drivers’ base pay, which is not even remotely how tipping works. In addition, the delivery driver base rate of $1 has now been increased to a whopping $2 - $10, but drivers will be receiving 100 percent of their tips so be sure to tip big and tip often.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the most popular film franchises in movie history with a total worldwide box office revenue of

Of course, Facebook’s Instagram subsidiary isn’t exactly a paragon of data security either. FB’s legal team spent last week suing the pants off of a third-party developer owner who’d gotten caught scraping profiles from the social media site — that’s a big no-no, says so right there in the Instagram ToS.

The hype surrounding its upcoming Hummer EV launch has apparently shaken something loose in General Motors’ bowels because the company announced last week that it is removing its limiters and going full-bore on electric vehicle tech, similar to VW’s repositioning following Dieselgate. The American car company

Looks like Twitter is finally getting serious about the spread of political misinformation on its platform... well, serious by Twitter’s standards at least. The company announced last week that it had flagged some 300,000 posts during the run-up to this month’s presidential elections — a whopping 0.2 percent of the overall messages posted during that period.

This is sure to turn out well. In our security-obsessed nation where everybody and their cousins are installing networked home security systems and purchasing firearms “for home defense,” we’re going to make a bunch of overworked, underpaid

Speaking of Jeff Bezos getting even more wealthy, Amazon made an extra $26 billion in sales during Q3 2020 thanks to our shelter in place rules and everybody embracing delivery for, well, everything.

Oh the woes of Tesla ownership. First the company offered a $2,500 infotainment system upgrade that gave customers access to YouTube, Netflix, Hulu — none of which should be watched while operating a motor vehicle mind you, unless you spring for the $10,000 FSD mode (though it’s being called is a “distant second” to GMC’s SuperCruise) — but had to ditch the existing

‘90s kids are old enough to remember when Hummers were the Darth Vaders of eco-friendly transportation, seemingly purpose built to guzzle gas. But 12 years after the last one rolled off its assembly line, the Hummer is back as an all-electric supertruck that will cost $112k. Expect to see as many of these hanging around construction sites as you saw H2s rolling around active war zones.

The Squad hopped on Twitch for a couple raucous rounds of Among Us last week, notching nearly half a million viewers during their playthrough. Really excited for the GOP response: video

October 22nd is shaping up to be a big day for Virgin Galactic. The company confirmed last week that it is readying SpaceShipTwo for a new round of flight tests beginning on that date. Should the launch go according to plan, this will mark the first time that the vehicle has operated out of the firm’s new headquarters at Spaceport America.

Remember the Howe brothers? Guys made that DARPA super-tank a few years back called the Ripsaw? Well, tanks aren’t all they make. Their company has designed and marketed a super-powered robotic firefighter as well, dubbed the

Having already banned QAnon, Facebook took another swing with its ban hammer last week taking aim at nearly a dozen mini-networks of misinformation. That included 200 Facebook accounts, 55 Facebook pages and 76 Instagram accounts — but really just a drop in the digital ocean given FB’s massive reach and scope.

Facebook wasn’t the only one busy banning in recent weeks. Twitter has announced that it had recently suspended 1,600 accounts which were allegedly spreading a litany of misinformation campaigns and run by Iran, Saudi Arabia, Cuba and Thailand.

Vizio has certainly come up in

While scoping out a suspected subterranean lake hiding under the Martian soil, scientists stumbled across not one, not two, but three more of them encircling the original. And they’re not puddles by any means. The research team estimates the largest one to measure up to 19 miles across with the others topping out at a few kilometers apiece. But don’t expect to go swimming on the Red Planet in the near future — we’l have to bore through a kilometer of ice to get to it.

The COVID lockdowns have hit the American auto industry hard this
