NEW DELHI: Six months since social media major Facebook rebranded itself to Meta, and announced plans to build a future where the internet will be made of many interconnected virtual spaces, top industry executives already seem to be starting to lose interest in the concept. The metaverse, which is build using blockchain, augmented reality and virtual reality technologies, among others, drew attention at first, but chief executives from top firms don’t see short-term value in it.

A NASA spacecraft on Mars is headed for a dusty demise.The Insight lander is losing power because of all the dust on its solar panels. NASA said Tuesday it will keep using the spacecraft's seismometer to register marsquakes until the power peters out, likely in July. Then flight controllers will monitor InSight until the end of this year, before calling everything off.“There really hasn't been too much doom and gloom on the team. We're really still focused on operating the spacecraft,” said Jet Propulsion Laboratory's…

If you had invested £100 (US$122) in the cryptocurrency Luna a month ago, you might have been quietly confident you’d made a sensible bet.

Some have recovered to a certain extent, but this still represents an aggregate seven-day loss of over US$500 million (£410 million), prompting existential questions…

Of all the movies I watched at the Sundance Film Festival this year, the one that stuck with me the most is Resurrection. That’s mostly because of just how intense and unsettling the film is — and now you can get a taste of that via the first trailer. Resurrection stars Rebecca Hall as a woman whose well-ordered life is upended after a former partner (Tim Roth) unexpectedly appears. In some ways, it’s a standard thriller, with pressure steadily mounting on Hall’s character until it’s almost too much to take. But what…

While the crash of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is terrible news for investors, it’s also a worrisome development for Matt Damon and his  reputation as a nice-guy movie star. “The Martian” actor is getting roasted on Twitter for a now infamous 60-second TV ad featured during NFL playoff games and the Super Bowl earlier this year, encouraging people to invest in cryptocurrency.

Google finally announced the Pixel 6a today at Google I/O. Following up on both the Pixel 5a and Pixel 6, the new Pixel promises to bring the best of what Google has offered in the past year at a lower price. With Tensor powering the 6a, this is set to be the most powerful cheap Pixel yet. But despite what Google says, the Pixel 6’s battery life for many is bad — and the same Tensor that’s in the Pixel 6a could be to blame. When I reviewed the Pixel 6 over a long-term period for Digital Trends, I noticed that the…
