Musk vs. Gates Elon Musk just confirmed he and Bill Gates have beef. Yesterday a Twitter user who focuses in part on electrical vehicle news leaked several text messages supposedly exchanged between Tesla and SpaceX CEO and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. Gates asked Musk about some philanthropy opportunities, but Musk shut it down quick. “Sorry, but I cannot take your philanthropy on climate ch



They say the best camera is the one you have with you, and I have a camera with me all the time. It's right here in my pocket. It's... my new Ricoh GR III X. Of course, in my other pocket is a smartphone, even though I'd rather it was the Ricoh GR III . Both the GR III X and my Google Pixel 4a boast incredibly capable cameras, yet I spent around three times more on the camera than I did on my pho

I will, in fact, not survive. Celebrity pals and feather boa enthusiasts Lizzo and Harry Styles shook Coachella on Friday with a cover of the 1978 Gloria Gaynor classic "I Will Survive." The strutting. The tense gazing into each other's eyes. The pure joy. Why am I still talking? Just watch below. The pair went a little more contemporary for their second song, channeling Harry's boy band past wit

29Mashable / 9h
If you've scheduled your weekend around the all-private Axiom Mission 1, we have bad news: The undocking has been postponed to Sunday. Because the weather has been shifty, with marginally high winds at the splashdown sites, NASA, Axiom Space, and SpaceX teams decided not to undock today, according to NASA . As long as the weather starts acting right, the crew will close the hatch at 6:45 p.m. eas

My family members know me as someone who is, shall we say, not the biggest fan of waiting in line. Not many of us are. My particular affliction makes me less willing to wait in line for a roller coaster, or most recently (and to my wife’s disbelief) for an ice cream cone at a popular ice cream spot near home. As you might expect, then, even as travel has rebounded in a big way this year, it’s to

At the start of April I wrote about an offer to earn 465 American AAdvantage miles - and elite status miles - per Uber trip up to 4 times via SimplyMiles. That's 1,860 elite status miles for taking Uber and charging the trip to a Mastercard registered on the SimplyMiles site by May 31, 2022. I now see that I have two other Uber offers as well, which I've now activated. Continue reading ...

Close Call Space vacations may not be as fun as we thought. Imagine being the first space tourist to land on the International Space Station only to get stuck for days and then narrowly avoid colliding with a piece of satellite Russia blew up — scary. Yet that’s exactly what’s happening to several crew members, because CBS space news reporter William Harwood broke the news yesterday that the ISS

I'm going to say something bold: Sponsored posts can be annoying. I don't want to see a brand in my feed, especially if it's a brand I'm not even following. No matter for Tumblr , though. On April 20, the blogging platform launched Tumblr Blaze for all users over 18 in the U.S. The feature is a way for users to increase the reach of their posts, which show up as a sponsored post to a random broad

Slow Ride Everybody knows better than to park next to the most expensive car in the lot. If you ding the door, you’re gonna have to pay. That’s what makes it so incredulous one Tesla owner used the Smart Summon feature, which is supposed to let Teslas navigate parking lots on autopilot, but ended up crashing the driverless vehicle into a private jet worth millions.
