Microsoft revealed a laptop back in May that still lacked a price and a ship date. On October 7, the missing numbers showed up. Surface Laptop Ultra starts at $2,599, pre-orders are open now, and the first units ship on October 16. Buyers at that entry price get a rather strong package, including an 18-core […]
Battersea Power Station has loomed over the Thames since Giles Gilbert Scott finished the last of its brick towers in 1955, a coal plant so large it later sat empty for decades and still owes half its fame to the inflatable pig Pink Floyd parked between the chimneys for the 1977 Animals sleeve.

Luca Guadagnino directed the 140-minute film from a screenplay by Simon Rich. It covers the five days in November 2023 when OpenAI’s board removed Altman as chief executive and then brought […]
Crowds on Shanghai’s Wujiang Road have a new reason to stall outside the Dairy Queen at No. 169, across from Louis Vuitton’s ship-shaped flagship.
