Google really whiffed with the new logos for its “reimagination” of G Suite as Google Workspace, replacing icons that are familiar, recognizable, and in Gmail’s case iconic if you will, with little rainbow blobs that everyone will now struggle to tell apart in their tabs. Companies always talk loud and long about their design language and choices, so as an antidote I thought I’d just explain why t

AI Watch an army of Spot and Pepper robots cheerlead a baseball game in an empty stadium NPB games are known for engaging antics that extend well beyond the play on the field.

Have you ever wondered why online ads appear for things that you were just thinking about? There’s no big conspiracy. Ad tech can be creepily accurate.

Reveal News reports the whistleblower’s account of Phillip Lee Terry’s death in 2017 an
