Terence Eden noticed something odd in his inbox. Targeted spam — the kind that doesn’t arrive by accident — started showing up at an email address he’d used exclusively with BrowserStack, the cloud-based browser testing platform used by millions of developers and some of the world’s largest enterprises. The implication was immediate and uncomfortable: someone,

For years, switching from Android to iPhone meant friction. Data loss. Workarounds. A process so deliberately cumbersome that regulators on two continents took notice. Now, under mounting legal and legislative pressure, Apple is preparing to let Android users transfer their files directly to iPhone — no cables, no third-party apps, no jumping through hoops. The

For decades, vaccine development has operated on a one-pathogen, one-vaccine model. Measles gets a shot. Polio gets a shot. COVID-19 arrived and, after a frantic global sprint, it got several shots. But a growing cadre of researchers is now pursuing something far more ambitious — vaccines designed not against a single disease, but against entire

Meta Platforms has paused a significant artificial intelligence data-training operation after discovering that its staffing partner, Mercor, suffered a data breach that exposed the personal information of thousands of contract workers. The incident has thrown a spotlight on the sprawling, often invisible workforce that underpins the development of AI systems — and the uncomfortable questions

Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of Telegram, publicly blamed Russia’s campaign against virtual private networks for triggering a significant disruption to the messaging platform’s internal payment system — a rare direct accusation against Moscow from the Franco-Russian billionaire who has spent years cultivating a careful neutrality between Western governments and the Kremlin. The problem

Google is making its most aggressive move yet to embed AI-generated video into the daily lives of ordinary consumers — and it’s doing so at precisely the moment its chief rival is pulling back from the same ambition. At its annual Google I/O developer conference this year, the company unveiled a sweeping expansion of its

Somewhere beyond the protective cocoon of Earth’s magnetosphere, four astronauts aboard NASA’s Orion spacecraft crossed a threshold on Thursday that no human has reached since December 1972. The Artemis II crew passed 100,000 miles from Earth, hurtling toward the Moon at thousands of miles per hour in a capsule roughly the size of a large

The City of Paris is rolling out a zero-interest loan program of up to €50,000 for small businesses crushed by soaring energy costs — a direct consequence of the war in Ukraine and the broader European energy crisis that has rewritten the economics of running a bakery, a restaurant, or a dry cleaner in one

For two decades, the United States built an almost untouchable lead in artificial intelligence — a supremacy rooted not just in Silicon Valley’s engineering talent but in a dense, globe-spanning network of chip fabrication, cloud infrastructure, and academic research pipelines. That lead is now under siege. Not from a foreign competitor, but from Washington itself.

Goldman Sachs has turned heads again. The Wall Street titan’s research arm recently signaled that Bitcoin may be approaching a cyclical floor, a call that carries unusual weight given the bank’s historically cautious—sometimes dismissive—stance toward cryptocurrency. The timing is deliberate. With macroeconomic crosscurrents intensifying and digital asset markets still nursing wounds from a turbulent first
