The reality is that Xbox Game Pass doesn't have enough subscribers and isn't making money the same way Netflix is. Game Pass needs 100 million-plus subs. It might reach 50 million this year.

Fit for Purpose? How Todayโ€™s Commercial Digital Platforms Subvert Key Goals of Public Education Digital educational platforms have become ubiquitous in American classrooms, with tools like Google Workspace for Education, Kahoot!, Zearn, Khan Academy, and many others now structuring curriculum, i...

They have no gods. They work magic, and think they are gods themselves. But they are not. And when they die, they become dust and bone, and their ghosts whine on the wind a little while till the wind blows them away. They do not have immortal souls.

Opinion | Donโ€™t let RFK, Jr. make you feel guilty for having autistic children Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., continues to sow discord and disinformation about autism and characterize autistic people like me as nothing but burdens.

Trump and Robert F. Kennedy's announcement about Tylenol and autism will have tons of negative implications for women's health. But it will also return society to when people blamed unloving mothersโ€“aka "refrigerator mothersโ€“ for their autism.

For comparison, Microsoft Office 365 has 345m paid subscribers worldwide. The idea that ChatGPT will conjure up five times that amount in just a few years isn't just hypothetical, it's fantasy. These people are delusional.
