United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz is being re-accommodated from a seat he was led to believe would be his.
The beleaguered boss, whose fumbled apologies following the David Dao controversy made everything so much worse for United, will not chair the company board in 2018.

Artificial intelligence is hot, and you can tell that because both giant companies and tiny startups are excited about it. Nvidia, which had $6.9 billion in revenues last year, is in touch with more than 2,000 AI startups around the world. And this week, the graphics chip maker and AI company took a step in figuring out which ones are the best.
Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of Nvidia, hosted a Shark Tank style event called Nvidia Inception to find the best AI startups. Huang and a panel of judges lis

The Price is Right is a wholesome television show enjoyed by all ages.
But like all game shows, the program relies on contestants, and not all participants keep things PG for daytime cable. 
Two hopeful contestants in the audience on The Price is Right were spotted wearing shirts that read "Two in the Plinko, One in the Stinko" shirts on Thursday. This wouldn't be a huge deal, except for the fact that the men were placed in the front row.

GUEST: Launching a new product feature is hard — remember Clippy from Microsoft Word?
To follow Windows 8 with a successful new OS was of utmost importance for Microsoft, but when you’re the 800-pound gorilla in the market, you’ve got to take risks even when the stakes are high.
Rolling out Cortana, an interactive digital assistant similar to Apple’s Siri, as part of Windows 10 was a move that could have backfired on Microsoft easily.
Luckily for the Seattle-based softwar

With the release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch just around the corner, Target is getting in the Mario Kart spirit with tricked-out shopping carts.
There's no way this could go wrong, right?
Over 650 Target stores in the U.S. are getting decked out with Mario Kart-inspired shopping carts (also known as Super Target Karts), decorations, and a starting line-like entrance complete with black-and-white checkers, a lakitu, flashing lights, and music. The promotion starts today.

Pete Souza is back at it again with the Instagram shade, and this time he's coming for Sarah Palin and her famous band of sidekicks.
Sarah Palin, Ted Nugent, and Kid Rock (author's note: ⁉️ ⁉️ ⁉️) hung out with President Trump on Thursday. And afterward, the former Alaskan governor shared photos of her visit on Facebook, thanking Trump for the invite. But one picture in particular caught Souza's eye.Standing before Hillary Clinton's official White House po

Take this as something of a PSA for those of you who obsess over keeping your phone scratch-free: avoid the $50 InvisibleShield glass screen protector for the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. Paying $50 for a piece of glass that sticks to your phone is objectively stupid. The thing is overpriced by a mile. But more importantly, it’s just not very good. Best Buy sells it. So do some of the carriers. It will likely be one of their recommended add-on purchases when you walk in to buy the phone. Don&rsq

I’ve borrowed a 2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country for an entire month, and will document my experience every week. Last week I drove to Albuquerque, New Mexico and back for a seven-hour highway test of the V90’s Pilot Assist semi-autonomous technology (and afterwards I stopped by an off-road driving park to get some cool pictures!).
Though Tesla’s Autopilot is perhaps the best-known semi-autonomous technology on the market today, a number of other companies currently or will soon of

Whenever I buy a Raspberry Pi I like to tell myself I'll do all sorts of cool projects with it and reinvent the face of IoT, but usually I just end up with a cheap, underpowered ARM computer that runs Linux and never takes advantage of all the I/O pins.
The new Shuttle XPC nano NS02A and NS02E (via Liliputing) cut through the lies I tell myself and simply offer a relatively high-powered ARM chip in a fairly small box. Android 5.1 is pre-installed, so that's lame, but hopefully you can get regula

Doctor Who, like the best horror films, has always been at its strongest when it performs this one weird trick.
The long-running BBC sci-fi show thrives on taking a single, simple, harmless, ordinary thing you see in everyday life (stone statues, showroom dummies), then tweaking it into a creature so terrifying (the Weeping Angels, the Autons) you will never in your life see that object the same way again.

Samsung’s Bixby assistant on the Galaxy S8 is a little bit hobbled out of the gate. It won’t be able to respond to your voice commands until later this spring, and one of the few tricks it can do at launch isn’t yet fully functional on Verizon Wireless.That trick is called Bixby Vision. Inside the camera app, you can enable Bixby Vision, point the camera at something, and Bixby gets to work. From our review:
It uses computer vision to identify an object or text and then links y

Every week, a slew of new music videos hits the web. Watching them at your desk is not time theft because you deserve it; think of it as a nice reward for surviving another work week.

Browser tabs used to help me stay organized. Now they’re part of the problem. For me at least, it’s become second nature to open a page in a background tab to save it for later. That sounds fine in theory, but then half an hour later, I’m buried in so many tabs I can’t even see their titles anymore. More often than not, tabs end up cluttering up my digital workspace, making it harder to find information when I actually need it. Spawning a mess of tabs had becam

The first images of the Moto Z2 Play — the successor to last year’s battery powerhouse, the Moto Z Play — have leaked out, via TechnoBuffalo.

Visually, the Z2 Play appears to strongly resemble its predecessor, aside from a slightly redesigned home button:TechnoB

Perhaps you've heard of Juicero. It's a company whose name is "juicer" with an attached "o." Their thing is they want you to buy a $399 (formerly $699) juice pressing machine (with wifi, yo) that squeezes out juice from their juice bags. The world recently discovered, though, that human hands can do the same thing as this $399 juicer(o).

With 150 million users, uTorrent is still the most popular torrent client in the world. It’s surprising.

This genre is unusual for consoles, with most city-building games

I was born and raised in Rome, so Italian is my native language. Now I live in the US, and I’m basically bilingual. Yet, when I hear other people speak English with an accent, sometimes I have a hard time understanding what they’re saying. In movies with a character who’s a non-native English speaker — or even has an accent I’m unused to, like an Irish one — I sometimes struggle; if I don’t turn on the subtitles, I’ll miss half of what they’r
