It’s happening all over the internet right now. You see a great deal on name-brand stuff, a new smartwatch, fancy cookware, maybe some designer jeans, and you click.
The amount of time teen drivers are actually watching the road. The rest? Spent on their phones. Most of that screen time isn’t for directions. It’s music, texting and social media.

That’s how much Figma could raise in its IPO, if Wall Street swipes right. That would match CoreWeave for biggest tech IPO of the year. Still a bit of a haircut, given that Adobe tried to buy it for $20 billion in 2022. Now it’s flaunting 91% margins like it’s back on the dating scene with a six-pack.
How long it took AI to figure out why some superbugs are immune to antibiotics. The shocker? A team of microbiologists spent 10 years getting to the same answer. The bot even came up with four new ideas they hadn’t considered. And get this: It couldn’t have copied them … their research wasn’t published.
