One of my earliest memories as a games journalist  is playing the original Alien: Isolation for one of my first gigs at E3 2014. I’d never been to an industry event before and my nerves were already shot, so by the time I sat down at my demo to play Creative Assembly’s terrifying hide-and-seek horror game, my tolerance for jump scares was at an all-time low. You bet your ass I booked it out of that demo before I could finish it when the titular alien started chasing me around Sevastopol Station.  As a result, when I played Alien: Isolation…

Starlink is a major threat to the “Big 3” carriers in the U.S. With its exclusivity deal with T-Mobile over, Starlink can bypass cell towers and offer its direct satellite-to-consumer mobile service. It can also make a deal with MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) and sell them wholesale cell service, eliminating the Big 3 and completely eliminating the need to hook up with cell towers.              AT&T is teamed up with satellite firm AST SpaceMobileDuring the Mizuho Technology Conference in New York on Tuesday, AT&T Chief Financial Officer Pascal Desroches said that satellite is great, but for…

In the photo array, Dillon’s face was “surrounded by five fillers—chosen to resemble Mr. Dillon, not the suspect,” so “Dillon became, almost by definition, the person in the array who most closely resembled the suspect” recalled by the McDonald’s manager, the lawsuit said. O’Connell did not display the photo array to the victim, the lawsuit said. The 93 percent figure is a confidence score, which “is a measurement of digital proximity between two mathematical templates” and “not a measurement of a probability that the two images depict the same person,” the lawsuit said. Facial recognition algorithms vary based on how…

I’m a Sonic the Hedgehog sicko. If there’s one thing to know about me, it’s that I love rolling around at the speed of sound. I’ve always got places to go and a rainbow to follow. But to this day, I still have trouble getting my friends to play Sega’s platformers, too. Whether it’s because they don’t jive with the speedy guy’s platforming or because they heard someone say 20 years ago that Sonic games had a troubling transition to 3D and just never bothered to consider if that was still true in 2026, some folks aren’t down to get…

Even in mid-2026, multitasking is one of Android’s biggest strengths, and Gemini for Android is likely scoring a very useful feature that could immensely improve its utility. According to an APK teardown conducted by Android Authority, Android’s now-standard Gemini assistant might soon become minimizable so that it can continue working in the background and not impede your browsing experience. Wait, isn’t Gemini already minimizable?Well, not really. After you’ve interacted with the assistant on your device, you can close it from the current screen and access the chat later. However, at the moment you can’t really minimize Gemini while it’s working and continue where…

Think of this little experiment: you can only send five emails per year. Which ones will you send? Which wouldn’t pass the test? And more importantly, what would you change, and why? This small test brings certain practices into the spotlight while questioning others you might be taking for granted. And since such an experiment would massively hurt your bottom line, below, you’ll find email marketing do’s and don’ts to make every email count. Let’s start with the do’s. Email Marketing Do’s: What Brings Results These are the most important tactics to keep in mind to design email campaigns that…

Amid intense backlash, the head of the American Diabetes Association posted a video Wednesday apologizing for the organization’s decision on Friday to forcefully remove five leading diabetes scientists from the association’s annual meeting. The scientists were ejected for handing out copies of an April editorial—published in the ADA’s own journal Diabetes Care—that sharply criticizes the Trump administration for the damage and destruction it’s wreaking on biomedical research. The five scientists included Steven Kahn, professor of medicine at the University of Washington, who is the editor-in-chief of Diabetes Care and a co-author of the editorial. It also included former ADA President Desmond…

Killer Bean was first revealed back in 2023 by its solo developer, Jeff Lew, via a teaser on Twitter that racked up millions of views. It later appeared at Summer Game Fest 2024, promising intense first- and third-person gunplay, Max Payne-like bullet time, vehicular mayhem, open-world chaos, and more. And technically, the finally released Killer Bean game does include all of that, and it’s impressive that one guy mostly made this by himself. But that’s the last nice thing I can say about Killer Bean.  Out now on Steam via early access, Killer Bean is a bad video game that…

I recently shared that the Galaxy Tab S11 is discounted by $100 at both Amazon and Samsung, making it a great deal for shoppers hunting for a reliable device that can be used for both work and entertainment.

Just select “No” in the trade-in section, and you’ll see the system shave $150 off your fancy new tablet. However, if you…
