The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), public health and regulatory officials, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are investigating an outbreak of Salmonella Oranienburg infections in two states linked to Emek branded pistachio cream.
On Monday, the CDC issued a food safety alert warning consumers not to eat—and businesses not to sell or serve—the nut butter spread used in desserts and other dishes. As of June 13, four people in two states, three in Minnesota...
Wireless charging is showing up everywhere these days, promising a life without tangled cords and cluttered outlets. Still, as cool as it sounds, today’s wireless charging often feels a little underwhelming. You have to find the exact spot on the pad, and your device needs to be pressed right up against it. Most of the time, it is just enough to top up your phone, but not much else.
For those dreaming of a world where you can drop anything on your desk and watch it light up, the wait...
In an era where smartwatches increasingly adopt sleek, minimalist aesthetics and glossy facades, designers are exploring alternative paths that celebrate character over conformity. The Retro?Future Wrist Tech concept challenges conventional norms with a rugged, industrial silhouette and a deliberately pixelated font that evokes the vibe of early digital watches. This design reframes wearable tech with nostalgic cues and tactile authenticity, diverging sharply from the polished, edge?to?edge...
Graphics cards are usually seen as sidekicks for your computer, responsible for making games look stunning and videos run smoothly. Still, if you take a closer look, these beefy components are practically computers all by themselves, with processors and memory dedicated to crunching numbers at lightning speed. Some of today’s most jaw-dropping tech, from AI to 3D design, wouldn’t even be possible without the raw horsepower that graphics cards bring to the table.
Now, imagine flipping...
I’m not really particular when it comes to furniture design as I’m the kind of person that would go for something that is functional and when needed, comfortable. But there are a lot of product designers out there that would continue to push the boundaries of traditional forms and use new techniques and materials to craft something different. It’s minds like this that come up with pieces that can be both avant-garde and familiar at the same time.

You can stay at Trump hotels, play golf at Trump courses, and could, for a short time in 2007, buy Trump steaks. But MAGA-maniacs now have a new tchotchke they can buy to support the 47th U.S. president: a $499 cell phone sold by the Trump Organization, the family business run by the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr. The device will run on a specialist Trump Mobile network.
“We are going to be introducing an entire package of products where people can come and they can get...
Millions of Americans are seeing their credit scores suffer now that the U.S. government has resumed referring missed student loan payments for debt collection.
After 90 days of non-payment, student loan servicers report delinquent, or past-due, accounts to major credit bureaus, which use the information to recalculate the borrower’s score. Falling behind on loan payments therefore can affect an individual’s credit rating as severely as filing for personal bankruptcy.
A lower credit score...
Brussels negotiators hope that offering to accept U.S. tariffs of 10% across all of the European Union’s exports into the United States will avert any higher duties on cars, drugs and electronics, newspaper Handelsblatt reported on Monday.
Citing high-ranking EU negotiators, the paper said the offer to U.S. counterparts would come only under certain conditions and would not be billed as permanent.
Handelsblatt also said the EU was, in return, ready to cut its tariffs on U.S.-made...
Summer is almost here, at least if you live in the U.S or the Northern Hemisphere. This also means that brands will be going all out when it comes to all their summer-themed campaigns and products. If you’re the kind of person who likes to change gadgets and devices to match the season, then you might want to pay attention to Bose’s latest drop.
The audio device giant has dropped a fresh lineup of summer-ready audio gear, spotlighting next-gen earbuds and portable speakers that promise...
Shipping container homes have captured the imagination of architects and homeowners alike, offering a sustainable and flexible approach to modern living. These compact dwellings transform industrial steel boxes into stylish, functional spaces that challenge traditional notions of what a home should be. In 2025, designers are pushing boundaries even further, combining smart layouts, clever insulation, and thoughtful finishes to create tiny homes that feel surprisingly spacious and...
BYOK is an ultra-minimalist distraction-free writing device with a curious twist. With so many gadgets shouting for your attention, there is a growing number of devices promising a quiet space for words. From chunky electronic typewriters to sleek E Ink tablets with keyboard cases, the options seem endless. Yet as focused as these tools may be, there is often one big catch: they all come with someone else’s choice of keyboard, and that can make every sentence feel like a struggle.
The...
The Imago Dei Festival redefines the experience of sound. Bridging early music, avant-garde, and global influences, it transforms sacred spaces into stages of sonic exploration. At its heart: the Minorite Church in Krems ? not just a venue, but a resonant space for bold ideas, interdisciplinary formats, and unexpected connections.
If artificial intelligence is going to take over the world, it may need a rebrand. Not only do many of the company logos look like swirling vortexes, but because no one has the patience for its name, a mouthful of eight syllables, we have fallen back on the now-ubiquitous initialism: AI. Those two letters have been on everyone’s lips for the last several years, but they don’t exactly roll off the tongue. Try saying them without sounding like an awkward amalgam of Fonzie (“Ayyyy!”)...

PU foam is a petrochemical product that requires isocyanates as a propellant during manufacturing. It is widely used in upholstered furniture and is a big problem in the furniture industry. It off-gases, loses support over time, is flammable and therefore dangerous, has a short lifespan, and poses environmental hazards when downcycled or incinerated. Of course the industry cannot stop producing things like sofas and chairs so it’s better to find an alternative to this material.
The...
“The best laid schemes of mice and men [often go awry],” wrote the poet Robert Burns in 1785. In other words, even our most carefully crafted plans rarely unfold as expected. Nearly two and a half centuries later, in the fast-moving age of AI, that insight feels more relevant than ever.
For entrepreneurs, staying competitive means building a business plan that can keep pace with evolving technology. After nearly two decades as CEO of a SaaS company, I’ve learned that planning...
When was the last time you identified as human? Typically, we identify with who we are as it applies to our career (accountant!), family dynamic (mom!), sports (Pacers!), and arts and culture (deadhead!). Rarely have we ever felt or had the need to make the distinction between human or . . . not. But in the age of AI, it’s increasingly become a priority.
Back in April, Tools for Humanity—a start-up cofounded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman—unveiled its solution to this problem. It’s a...
Both sides are missing the point entirely as Congress debates the proposed 10-year ban on state AI laws contained in the “Big, Beautiful Bill.”
The current wrangling over who should regulate privacy, deepfakes, and bias in AI confuses the forest for the trees because it solely focuses on who decides what we should not do.
In contrast, state AI leaders from across the country are gathering this week in New Jersey to ask the critical question: What can we do to responsibly...
We’ve become accustomed to seeing rainbows as a symbol of Pride. But for Levi’s 2025 Pride collection, the brand’s LGBTQ+ designers wanted to shake up the status quo. They’ve delved into their history, tapping into another well-known icon of gay liberation—the inverted triangle.
The rainbow flag was created in 1978 as a symbol of freedom and dignity. But in the 1970s, the gay liberation movement often deployed the pink triangle—which the Nazis used to brand homosexual men and...
