Another surprising tweet from Elon Musk. This time we find out that Tesla will not be selling two of its three cheapest cars, Model S and Model X, anymore. They are only up for sale for a few more days, ending with January 14th, Monday.

Another piece of CES 2019 news. This time IBM has presented us the first commercially available quantum computer. While the device will hardly be available to an average user and will probably cost an arm and a leg (we do not know the exacy price), it will still be finally available outside the laboratories’ walls. Quantum computing is based on qubits, which allow the data to exist as both 0’s and 1’s simultaneously, which in turn allows for processing much more complex data. No, I do not understand it either – the gist of the story is that the quantum ...

His message has been retweeted 4.5 million times so far, which sets a new Twitter record.And yet, this is not even the most outrageous of billioner’s ideas; on 2023, Yusaku Maezawa will be the first tourist to board Elon Musk’s space ...

Wanted a proper sequel to Alien: Isolation? Well, you will have to wait. Still, Alien: Blackout may be a cool game, even if it is just a mobile one.

A:B’s plot revolves around Amanda Ripley, daughter of Ellen Ripley and the protagonist of Isolation; unlucky Ripley finds herself on a xenomorph-infested Mendel station owned by, of course, Weyland-Yutani ...
