The PGA Tour did not wait long to offer its second signature event of the season as the circuit will bring the best players in the world down the California coast to Los Angeles, where they will compete in Tiger Woods’ tournament making its return to Riviera Country Club. In 2025, the Genesis Invitational had to move to Torrey Pines due to the devastating fires in L.A., so Riviera will certainly be a welcome sight for all involved. There are four past champions of this event in the field this week — Ludvig Åberg (the reigning champion), Hideki Matsuyama, Max Homa…

No one can say exactly when, or if, gay men started running Silicon Valley. They seem to have dominated its upper ranks at least the past five years, maybe more. On platforms like X, the clues are there: whispers of private-island retreats, tech executives going “gay for clout,” and the suggestion that a “seed round” is not, strictly speaking, a financial term. It is an idea so taken for granted, in fact, that when I call up a well-connected hedge fund manager to ask his thoughts about what is sometimes referred to in industry circles as the “gay tech mafia,”…

Sickness and death are inevitable, but many of us will never get the chance to know exactly when our worst health ailments will strike. Someday soon, though, that might not be true for people with Alzheimer’s disease, research out today shows. Scientists say they’ve devised a model that can narrow down the onset of Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia. Based on simple blood test results, they were able to predict the age, within several years, that someone would develop symptoms. In the short term, this work could improve clinical trials for Alzheimer’s, the researchers say, and down the…

Sam Marsden and Moises LlorensMultiple AuthorsFeb 18, 2026, 03:00 AM ETEverything appeared to be falling into place for Barcelona in their quest to retain their LaLiga crown this season. Bitter rivals Real Madrid underperformed for much of the first half the season, to the point where they fired coach Xabi Alonso last month, and Atlético Madrid failed to take advantage and mount their own title challenge.But in the past week, Barça suffered a 4-0 thrashing at Atlético that has all but dumped them out of the Copa del Rey, and Monday’s shocking 2-1 loss at Catalan neighbors Girona allowed Real to go…

Amazon has hundreds of thousands of robots in its warehouses, but that doesn’t mean all of its robotic initiatives are a success story. The e-commerce giant has halted its Blue Jay warehouse robotics project just months after unveiling the tech, as originally reported by Business Insider and confirmed by TechCrunch.

At the time, the company was testing the robots at a facility in South Carolina and said it took Amazon significantly less time to develop Blue Jay…

Google debuted the Pixel 10a phone today. Pre-orders are open now and the smartphone will be available starting March 5. Although it’s the new 2026 addition to the A series lineup, the Pixel 10a invites many comparisons with last year’s Pixel 9a. For starters, the price is identical at $499.Design-wise, not much as changed. The back of the phone can lay flat, which has become a hallmark of the Pixel A collection, rather than wobbling around on a bulky camera housing. The screen is still 6.3 inches with an Actua display. The phone’s insides are also the same; the 10a…
