Feeling overloaded with AI announcements? Sorry, but it's tech developer conference season and Microsoft Build is next.
Microsoft's annual developer conference is following on the heels of Google I/O and OpenAI's Spring Update, and Apple's WWDC is just a few weeks later. So, for this year's edition of Build, you can expect a lot of AI announcements relating to how Copilot AI is being integrated into Windows.
The event will be held on Tuesday, May 21, but not before Microsoft holds a Surface AI...

The crypto community has witnessed the appearance of yet another meme coin, and this one has a rather peculiar name – WienerAI. This new meme coin has managed to raise over $2 million in its ongoing crypto presale within just a few weeks of its launch.
This milestone highlights the continued interest and enthusiasm surrounding meme coins in this bull run, as we all remember what happened earlier this year with BONK, WIF, PEPE or most recently Slothana.

The following article discusses spoilers for the first season of X-Men ‘97.
I was excited about the return of the ‘90s Saturday morning cartoon version of the X-Men. Still, I wasn’t sure Marvel, under the auspices of Disney, could deliver on the flavor of the original while also making a modern show that older fans, now adults in their 30s and 40s, could enjoy. And X-Men '97 is a total play on our nostalgia, which makes it even odder that it delivers. And is better than the original in...

For most of its first season, Sugar on Apple TV Plus was a fairly typical if slickly produced detective story. It starred Colin Farrell as John Sugar, a private investigator with a number of charming quirks — obsessed with old movies, unable to get drunk, beloved by dogs — who was determined to solve a missing persons case involving the granddaughter of a famous Hollywood director. Then, at the end of episode six, the show introduced a twist that threatened to change...

The GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker delivers on its promise of bringing smoking indoors, but sadly its smarts didn’t make me a better pitmaster.

Delta, an emulator that can play Nintendo games, had to change its logo after Adobe threatened legal action. You'd think it would face trouble from Nintendo, seeing as it has been going after emulators these days, but no. It's Adobe who's going after the developer, which told TechCrunch that it first received an email from the company's lawyer on May 7. Adobe warned Delta that their logos are too similar, with its app icon infringing on the well-known Adobe "A," and asked it to change its...

From time to time, the sun discharges billions of tons of solar matter, traveling millions of miles per hour, straight at Earth.
Yet humans and life on the surface aren't physically harmed by the intense space radiation. That's why, when the strongest solar impact to occur in over 20 years recently hit, you may have been blithely unaware — except for the resulting atmospheric light show, as magnificent glowing auroras appeared in unusual places.
Not all worlds, like the moon and Mars, have...
