A little over a year ago, Marvel spent the better part of an entire day slowly revealing the massive cast for Avengers: Doomsday. More recently, the studio started dropping teaser trailers featuring some of the movie's more notable superhero team-ups and returning characters. There was already plenty of hype around the project, which seems poised to rework a significant chunk of the MCU....
It looks like the wave of campaigns against data centers are getting under big tech companies' skin - and Microsoft is the latest giant to promise to address frustrations on the ground in communities around their data centers. The company announced a five-point plan today that it calls "Community-First AI Infrastructure." That includes paying more to try to prevent data center energy...
The Verge CES ground crew posing for a group photo in the Linq Promenade during CES 2026. We spent last week running to meetings, demos, and the convention floors to see as much as we could at CES 2026. And now that we've (sort of) recovered, it's time to answer any questions you still have. Did we replace Dom with his clone? Did Jen survive a robot falling on her? Is Vee tired of talking...
For years, Apple and Google have had a will-they-won't-they type of relationship, as far as which AI company Apple would pick to underpin its Siri virtual assistant and give it new AI-fueled personalization and agentic capabilities. Apple has spent the last year or two playing the field, reportedly considering working with OpenAI or Anthropic to support the new Siri. But in a multiyear...
The most interesting story at this year's CES was just a little tiny bundle of technology. One way to look at Lego's new Smart Brick is as something like a Raspberry Pi, an endlessly remixable gizmo with infinite hacking potential - it can be anything, in the best possible way. Another way to look at it is as a crushing blow to creativity, a new way for things to break or be paywalled, and...
Insta360’s webcams are now going pro. | Image: Insta360 Insta360 has announced new Pro versions of its Link 2 and Link 2C webcams that first launched in September 2024. As with the previous versions, the new Link 2 Pro and 2C Pro can track the movements of onscreen subjects to ensure they're always in frame, making them ideal for those presenting on a video stream, or who need to move...
Lenovo is the top PC manufacturer worldwide. The PC market is bracing for a turbulent year ahead, but shipments managed to exceed expectations in the recent holiday quarter. IDC reports that shipments grew nearly 10 percent year-over-year in the fourth quarter of 2025, reaching 76.4 million in total. Microsoft's end of Windows 10 support undoubtedly helped push PC shipments up, but IDC...
The Office Lens app launched in 2015. Microsoft is removing its Lens scanner app from iOS and Android in the coming months. Microsoft Lens, or Office Lens as it's known to most, will no longer be supported on February 9th, and the app won't be functional after March 9th. The portable scanner features of Lens are available in OneDrive instead, making a dedicated app redundant for Microsoft....
Robot vacuums are impressive devices that will clean your floors well and — thanks to bigger batteries and better robot brains — rarely get tired of doing their job. Over the last few years, these floor-sweeping bots have gone from utilitarian devices to full-fledged home robots that vacuum and mop your home, clean themselves, and trundle off to prepare themselves for the next run. I’ve...
A UK employment tribunal rejected a request from fired Rockstar Games employees to receive interim pay while waiting for a full hearing about their dismissal, according to Bloomberg and IGN. After Rockstar fired 34 employees last year - 31 from the UK and three from Canada - the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) accused the company of "union busting." Rockstar claims that...
