Twitter owner Elon Musk may have let the cat out of the bag about Twitter’s current total worth. According to a Sunday report from The Wall Street Journal, Musk told employees some have received stock rewards based on a $20 billion valuation. Just a reminder, Musk bought the platform last year for $44 billion. At the…
Elon Musk’s Twitter hasn’t been going great, and now we’re learning the CEO’s plans to make the website’s code open source may have come to fruition a little too early. Court documents have revealed that portion’s of the platform’s source code leaked on the software development forum GitHub, exposing some of the…
You didn’t have to wait long for Samsung’s latest phones to receive steep discounts. Amazon is running a sale on the Galaxy S23 series that brings the flagship devices to record-low prices. Most notably, the Galaxy S23 Ultra with 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM is down to $1,200 (normally $1,380). You can roll the savings into wireless earbuds, a case and other accessories.
You’re still poised to save money if the Ultra is more than you need. The Galaxy S23+ 512GB is on sale for $1,000 (normally $1,200), while the standard S23 with 256GB is available for $800 (usually $860). You don’t have to skimp on capacity just to get one of the more affordable models.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra is our favorite Android phone, and for good reason. While it’s an iterative upgrade to last year’s model, it delivers improvements where they matter most: better cameras, longer battery life and faster performance. So long as you’re okay with a large screen, this is a versatile device that can handle just about any situation.
Not that the other models are slouches. We liked the Galaxy S23+ for its exceptionally long battery life, vivid display and speedy chip, and the base model won’t be far behind. While the low-light photography isn’t quite as strong as with other high-end phones, this is a straightforward pick if you’re either upgrading from an earlier Samsung phone or want more power than the Pixel 7 line can deliver.

According to a New York Times report, parts of Twitter’s source code were leaked online. Court filings published Friday reveal Twitter claimed copyright infringement to have the code taken down from Github as soon as possible. The code was removed the same day, but there’s no report on how long it was online for – or the leak’s scope or depth. The Twitter executive who spoke with the NYT said the company’s primary concern was that the source code could be used in future hacking efforts.
Twitter executives suspect it’s the work of a former employee who left “within the last year.” That might not narrow down the hunt for the leak. Since Elon Musk purchased Twitter last October, the company has shed roughy 80 percent of its staff.

In timely fashion, Twitter owner Elon Musk says he valued Twitter at about $20 billion, according to an email seen by The Information and The New York Times. (Although this was before the reports of the source code leak.) Musk shared the valuation, a significant drop from the $44 billion he paid to buy the company last fall, in a memo he sent to Twitter employees on Friday announcing a new stock compensation program.
It’s the end of an era: Nintendo is shutting down its Wii U and 3DS eShops today at 5 PM PT (8 PM ET). After that, you’ll no longer be able to purchase new games for those consoles, but you’ll still be able to redownload titles you’ve already purchased. Some games will disappear forever, with 450 digital-only Wii U games, 600 digital-only 3DS games and 530 virtual console titles gone (at least from official channels), according to Video Games Chronicle’s estimates.
All five seasons of Arrested Development, including the two financed by Netflix, were set to leave the service on March 15th. However, the series is now staying put, thanks to a licensing agreement the company reached with Disney-owned 20th-Century Fox, the show’s original rights holder. According to Vulture, the new deal gives Netflix exclusive streaming rights to the series. As a result, the show’s first three seasons will not be available to watch on Hulu as of later this year. Notably, the deal reportedly gave Disney the option to sell the linear TV rights for all five seasons.
Gordon Moore, co-founder and former CEO of Intel, has passed away at 94. He was the last surviving member of the Intel Trinity, which also included his fellow founder, Robert Noyce, and their first hire, Andy Grove. In 1965, Moore wrote a paper that envisioned the miniaturization of computers, introducing the world to his prediction dubbed Moore’s Law.
He predicted the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every year, leading to the creation and production of smaller and more powerful chips that would, in turn, enable advancements in technology. By 1975, he adjusted his estimate for the doubling of transistors to every two years, though top chipmakers disagree on whether Moore’s Law still holds.

If you’ve been waiting to purchase Microsoft 365 Family, now might be the right time. Amazon is offering a 12-month subscription for $100, down from $150 — plus a $50 Amazon gift card. Basically, you save $50 and get another $50 in spending money, not so bad.
Your purchase includes all the usual Microsoft programs — Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook etc. — and 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage for easy sharing of photos and files across your devices.
Microsoft 365 is available to download immediately for up to six family members on PCs or Macs. The Amazon gift card, on the other hand, will arrive in the mail. It has no expiration date so as long as you don’t lose the little card somewhere, you can hold onto it for a while (or spend it right away, no judgement here).
If you choose to buy the family package, do yourself a favor and set a calendar reminder for just under a year from now. The subscription will auto-renew annually and there’s nothing worse than finding out through a credit card statement. If you love it, great. If not, you’ll have the option to cancel.
This deal isn’t completely new as Amazon offered the same one-day discount at the end of January. If you regretted skipping it then, here’s your chance. But, you have to think fast, this deal is literally here today, gone tomorrow.
