Threads started off strong, with more than 100 million people signing up for the social media app within the first week or so. The app is Zuckerberg's...

In a new paper, scientists do not rule out that horizontal protrusions that were photographed by NASA's Curiosity rover could have come from an alien spacecraft. The image in question was taken by Curiosity between sol 3786 and 3800 during its time in Mars' Gale Crater with its ChemCam.

One of the many reasons why the Steam Deck has been so popular is because of Valve's aggressive pricing. As we saw early on, competitors had a difficult time offering compelling alternatives in the same pricing category, but that's starting to change. First there was the ASUS ROG Ally we reviewed last month, and now...

Some used-phone sellers are trying to cash in on certain iPhone models still bearing the now-defunct Twitter logo, and for quite a load of money. With Elon Musk rebranding Twitter to X, something to match his sub-brands' naming convention, a trend to obtain older iPhones still with the Twitter app installed could be...

Earlier this week, SpaceX had anticipated launching two rockets back-to-back just 44 minutes apart, which would set the record for the fastest time between launches.

Hard drives are dead, right?
