What’s behind Nintendo’s 42% drop in profits?

Nintendo’s profits tumbled as sales of its Switch console lost momentum, prompting the Japanese video-game maker to lower its full-year forecasts.

‘I would love to share affection and attention’: This Facebook group connect families with surrogate grandparents

“We want grandparents who want to have pizza nights with us, attend baseball and basketball games, have ice cream dates, take bike rides, just genuinely have fun with us and our boys,” reads one post on the Facebook group Surrogate Grandparents USA, a place where grandparent-seeking families can connect with surrogate grandparents. “One lonely grandma here.

Children’s reading levels are plummeting. Is tech to blame?

In the history of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), eighth-grade reading scores have never been this low.

According to new data, 33% of eighth graders in the United States have “below basic” reading levels. That’s even below the sub-proficient level, “basic,” at which 37% of eighth graders score. The NAEP has been administering their reading assessment since 1992

Twitch has plenty of competition in the livestream economy. CEO Dan Clancy isn’t worried

Business leaders are often reluctant to speak about their competition. It’s rare that you’ll hear Netflix’s Ted Sarandos talk about Disney+, or Skims’s Jens Grede speak about Spanx. It’s uncouth and unhelpful, a good PR will tell you.

That’s why it’s utterly refreshing when Dan Clancy, CEO of the ultra-popular livestreaming platform Twitch, throws out opinions on his competitors with abandon. “[TikTok] was the first platform that didn’t just copy Twitch,” Clancy te

This scrappy search upstart is getting thousands of people to give up Google

Search today sure ain’t what it used to be.

On the one hand, you’ve got the escalating sense that Google’s once-reliable results are stuck in a downward spiral. It’s a perception we’ve been seeing take shape for some time now, even before Google Search started pushing accuracy

‘This made my face feel so much tighter’: TikTok users claim banana peels can act as a natural form of Botox

Botox can be expensive. You know what isn’t? Bananas. 

A new beauty hack making the rounds online involves rubbing the inside of a banana peel all over your face for a few minutes to brighten and tighten skin. You’ve heard of chemical peels for your skin? Now it’s all about the banana peel.

Trump’s tariffs could derail online shopping in the U.S.

A lot has changed since Donald Trump’s first term in the White House. E-commerce’s share of total retail sales has risen from 15% at the end of 2020 to 16.2%—a 1.2 percentage point increase, but a near-10% rise in real terms. The number of packages entering the United States that come under the $800 de minimis threshold that allows imports to enter the country without charge has gone from around 600,000 in 2020 to more than one

Trump signs order to create a sovereign wealth fund that could buy TikTok

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok.

Will a return to OG Facebook appeal to Gen Z?

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg hinted at a “return to OG Facebook” during last week’s Q4 earnings call, listing it as a key goal for 2025. But what exactly does that mean?

So far, Meta hasn’t offered any clear details. Could Zuckerberg mean the millennial meme-filled Facebook of the 2010s or the “masculine energy” of its controversial origins as Facemash (a site that rank

The politics of getting your friends to untag you in photos

There are certain social media rules we can all agree on: Ghosting a conversation is impolite, and replying “k” to a text is the equivalent of a backhand slap (violent, wrong, and rude). But what about the rest of the rules? When can we really remind someone of our old Venmo request? What happens when someone tries to flirt with you on LinkedIn?

The Clicks iPhone keyboard is as powerful as it is frustrating

A funny thing happened after I stopped using Clicks, the keyboard case that effectively turns an iPhone into an oversized Blackberry: The phone by itself suddenly seemed punier.

I mean that in terms of both size and mightiness. Because while Clicks’ four rows of physical keys stretch an iPhone to comical length, they also add a bunch of powerful shortcuts for getting things done. My typing hasn’t gotten any faster with Clicks, but things like copying, pasting, and switc
