Hoto’s latest electric screwdriver introduces a couple of novel usability improvements. Now, you’ll find a pixelated display on the business end of the driver showing details like its remaining battery life, while a multi-function button lets you adjust its speed and switch directions with just one finger.

It’s been a while since Kodak launched a new film, and even longer since it actually distributed its own. But the company caught people by surprise yesterday when it announced two new film products — Kodacolor 100 and Kodacolor 200.

Microsoft is getting ready to announce an ad-supported version of Xbox Cloud Gaming. Sources familiar with Microsoft's plans tell The Verge that the software maker has started testing ad-supported games streaming internally, allowing employees to play select titles free without a Game Pass subscription.

In August 2002, I was probably back-to-school shopping with my mom at our local mall, bouncing from store to store for backpacks, socks, and a first-day-of-school outfit. Gap was no doubt one of our stops - and thanks to Michael Bise, I now know what music was playing as we browsed.
When Bise first started working at a Gap store in Dallas in 1992, the first thing that struck him was the...

Back in 2023, Telly CEO Ilya Pozin came on The Vergecast and made a surprisingly compelling case for the existence of a TV that doesn't cost you a dime - but shows ads all the time. It's a reasonable business model, and a pretty good deal for consumers! But as The Verge's Emma Roth discovered, the reality of the situation is a bit different.
