Yahoo CEO Jim Lanzone on AI, gambling, and the open web
Today, I’m talking with Jim Lanzone, who is the CEO of Yahoo. It’s basically impossible to sum up the Yahoo story, but the short version of it is that a long time ago Yahoo paid Google to run the search box on its website, and basically everything has gone sideways since. You’ll hear Jim refer to that deal as Yahoo’s…

5 romantic comedies on Netflix you (probably) haven’t seen
We’ve seen every Julia Roberts rom-com a billion times. Ditto every Reese Witherspoon charmer, too. And don’t get us started on those Hugh Grant classics. And while there are uber-popular romantic comedies that have stood the test of time and warrant revisiting over and over again, there are just as many that you may have missed the first time around,…

Last fall, President Donald Trump’s executive order raising the fee for H-1B visas to $100,000 — like many of his immigration policies — led to near-immediate chaos. Thousands of workers who had flown overseas to renew their visas ended up stranded abroad. Details about who would be affected only emerged after the fact. Six months later, the disorder from the…

Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro review: the top choice for your Galaxy phone
Samsung promised “more than a design refresh” for its new top-end Galaxy Buds – it added upgraded woofers for improved, dual-amped hi-fi sound, a new blade design, clearer call performance, and better noise cancellation.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra review: show off
“Someone might be watching everything I’m doing on my screen,” I tell myself in public. Even when I’m doing nothing of consequence — just making my little Wordle guesses — there’s a sense of unease that stays with me. It’s never bothered me too much, and I generally save the sensitive stuff like banking for when I’m home, but I…

I’ve been using the Pixel 10 Pro for 6 months — here’s what I love (and hate)
The Google Pixel 10 Pro was first released just over six months ago to solid acclaim. While it’s true that the phone isn’t that much different from its predecessor, the Pixel 9 Pro, it doesn’t change the fact that it is, by most accounts, a very good phone — one of the reasons it’s on our list of the best…

Chief among the virtues of the H95 are their sublime sound quality: clear and expansive treble; punchy but detailed mids; rich yet supremely balanced bass; plus, a…
