The significance of the sale, which sees SpaceX paying a mix of $8.5 billion in cash and $8.5 billion in SpaceX stock, centers around a finite resource: spectrum. Spectrum refers to the range of radio frequencies that carry wireless signals for everything from phone calls to texts to GPS and…
The signature of an American president is one of the planet’s most powerful symbols. It can set your tax bill, your immigration status and who does or does not get aid from the world’s largest economy.Now, though, Donald Trump’s distinctive signature is being scrutinized for a decidedly unpresidential reason.Two documents in Jeffrey Epstein ‘s 50th-birthday album purportedly include Trump’s signature — one on a risque line drawing of a female body and one on a picture of Epstein holding up a novelty check bearing Trump’s name. A House committee released the 2003 book Monday, with some members insisting the multi-peaked…
LONDON (AP) — When David Bowie died in 2016, he left a vast musical legacy – and a trove of unrealized projects.Tantalizing details of those abandoned and unfinished ideas are revealed in Bowie’s archive, which opens to the public this week.The 90,000 items acquired from Bowie’s estate by London’s Victoria and Albert Museum include handwritten notes for a movie in which Major Tom, the fictional astronaut “floating in a tin can far above the world” in Bowie’s song “Space Oddity,” is sent to “a disgruntled America.”Curator Madeleine Haddon said the never-made film — titled “Young Americans,” like Bowie’s 1975 album…

It’s my fifth year in a row writing about Apple’s annual iPhone event, and I have never actually been tempted to buy the latest and greatest iPhone. Like my colleague Julie Bort, I’ve always waited to upgrade my phone until it’s absolutely necessary. But then the iPhone Air came along. I want it. Apple’s new iPhone 17 line is impressive in its own right, but this generation of devices marks the first time that Apple has made an iPhone Air. Like the MacBook Air, it’s a thinner, sleeker device, which emphasizes style over its tech specs. While I can appreciate…
