WhatsApp began letting its three billion users reserve a username on Monday, ahead of a feature that will allow messaging without sharing a phone number.

Knuckling shots aren't luck. NASA's wind tunnels and space-station experiments explain how the four-panel Trionda ball swerves through this World Cup.

Even the company that builds the most AI infrastructure on Earth is rationing it. Google's cap on Meta's Gemini use shows where the real bottleneck sits.

The rover's laser found large carbon molecules sitting in ancient riverbed rock. What made them, biology or chemistry, is exactly what no one can yet say.

Rockstar set Grand Theft Auto VI at $80 for the standard edition and $100 for the Ultimate, but the disc-free box is the more telling change.
