Let’s not sugarcoat it: Meta has been knowingly profiting from scam ads on its platforms, and new internal documents show just how deep the rabbit hole goes. According to a bombshell Reuters investigation , Meta (yes, the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp) internally projected that 10% of its 2024 revenue — roughly $16 billion — would come from ads promoting scams, fraud, or banned products. Not suspected scams. Not accidental ones. These are known  bad acto

At 1:01 p.m. Eastern, the storm everyone feared finally crossed the line. Hurricane Melissa — the once-theoretical “worst-case” storm for Jamaica — made landfall near New Hope, St. Elizabeth Parish, with maximum sustained winds of 185 mph and a central pressure of 892 millibars.

COVID did for remote work what the Russia-Ukraine war is doing for drone warfare. The pandemic didn’t invent Zoom, Teams, or Slack — it simply forced every organization on Earth to use them. Overnight, “digital transformation” went from strategy deck buzzword to survival tactic. Warfare is now having the same moment. From Platforms to Packets In June 2024, Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb  didn’t just destroy aircraft — it rewrote doctrine. Drones launched from inside Russia’s b

So… OpenAI just dropped Atlas , their brand-new AI-powered browser . And somewhere out there, a thousand Chrome extensions just quietly curled up and died. Copy helpers, summarizers, productivity widgets, those sidebar AI things everyone rushed to build last year — all gone in one press release. Atlas basically did to browser plug-ins what the iPhone did to the flip phone industry: it smiled, waved politely, and rewrote the rules of the game. But under the hood, this isn’t ju
