From The Verge. Best remote ever? Best remote ever. When TiVo first debuted, it felt like magic: You could pause live TV! You could rewind it! The concept immediately became a phenomenon — even though TiVo itself was never as big a hit as you might think. On this episode of Version History, David Pierce,…
From The Verge. Advances in robotics and AI have made robots smarter and more capable than ever. The question is whether they’re now capable enough of doing our chores. We already have robots that vacuum our floors and mow our lawns — but there’s one job they haven’t mastered: laundry. The Verge decided to try…
From The Verge. The Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, is the biggest and buzziest tech event of the year and it just wrapped up. From laptops and AI robot pets to LED masks and trifold phones, and (yes) more robots. The Verge staff saw everything in between. Here are their top picks from CES 2026.…
From The Verge. he theme of CES 2026 is gadgets. It’s always gadgets. This year more than most, though, the world’s biggest tech show is about how fast the hardware world is moving — and how much work the software, and the AI, have to do to catch up. On stage live at the Brooklyn…
From The Verge. 2026 is just beginning, and it’s already time for the biggest gadget event of the year. As the Verge team heads to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show, David and Nilay run through as many of the newly announced products as they can. There are robots, art TVs, phones, more robots,…
From The Verge. Flappy Bird was a mean game. It was extremely simple and yet punishingly difficult; if you could get 10 points, that meant you were pretty good! For a few weeks, the game became an absolute global phenomenon — and in the process, both made its creator a ton of money and kind…
From The Verge. In the mid-1980s, Nintendo pretty much ruled the video game industry. And somehow, a few toymakers and inventors convinced Nintendo that the controller of the future was… this big, clunky thing you wore on your right arm. (Sorry, lefties.) It wasn’t very good, but people loved it anyway. And while the Power…
From The Verge. The world runs on RAM, and RAM is harder than ever to get your hands on. What’s happening here? Every year, the Vergecast team spends the holiday season going deep on a single spec or technology, and this year it’s all about Random Access Memory. (No, that’s not a Daft Punk album.)…
From The Verge. AOL Instant Messenger was, for years, one of the very best things on the internet. Before iMessage and WhatsApp, before Twitter and Facebook, AIM was simply how people talked to each other online. Maybe it was how you casually chatted up your crush; maybe it was how you and your banking coworkers…
From The Verge. Åhead of our last Friday episode of 2025, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr did The Vergecast an enormous favor: he went in front of Congress and said a bunch of wild things about regulation. So, of course, Nilay and David have to talk about them. For a really long time. After that, the…
From The Verge. For the end of 2025, we’re looking ahead into the new year. We asked The Verge reporters to see into the future and to give us their biggest predictions for tech and science trends in 2026. Presented by @T-Mobile The Verge’s sponsors play an important role in funding our journalism, but do…
From The Verge. Who’s going to win the Super Bowl? What about the latest season of Survivor? Or the race to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve? Who will be Portugal’s next president? How many times will Elon Musk tweet in the next week? On Polymarket, and other prediction markets, you can bet…
From The Verge. A year ago, David and Nilay sat down with Wall Street Journal senior tech columnist Joanna Stern to make a bunch of confident predictions about 2025. We got them… you know what, never mind. Let’s look ahead to 2026! This year, we gather again to make increasingly bold bets about the year…
From The Verge. The iPhone 4 was one of the best iPhones ever — and definitely the most dramatic iPhone ever. It was lost in a bar in California, sold to Gizmodo, and published for the world to see months before its launch. The phone itself had a bunch of important new features, and one…
From The Verge. Technically, the Netflix / Warner Bros. news is almost a week old, but what a week it has been! And so, after some follow-up on smart shades and CES, Nilay and David talk through all that’s at stake in the fight between Paramount and Netflix — and whether it’s even possible for…
From The Verge. It’s our favorite time of the year where we sit down with The Verge reporters to hear about the technology that stood out to them the most from 2025. From the bike lane to the smart home, take a watch and see if your favorite tech made it in. Presented by: @T-Mobile…
From The Verge. Well, friends, it’s been a year. And before we turn the page to 2026 and all the stories of 2025 begin to blur together, we decided to take stock of things. Nilay and David are joined by Wall Street Journal senior tech columnist Joanna Stern to debate the best products of the…
From The Verge. AI models are very good at summarizing things, finding other things like those things, and helping you find those things again. But does that mean we should leave all the work of finding and understanding to those models? Sari Azout, the founder of an app called Sublime, doesn’t think so. For this…
From The Verge. Google didn’t invent the concept of smart glasses, but it was one of the first companies to actually put them on people’s faces. It was a revolution, and also a problem: Google made face computers extremely uncool, and its early user base was so off-putting they became collectively known as “Glassholes.” The…
From The Verge. First things first: David and Nilay are both having some TV problems, and they need to talk it out. But then they get to the news of the week, including Samsung’s new extra-foldy foldable phone, and a big change in the design departments at both Apple and Meta. What does it all…
From The Verge. Apple makes a lot of gadgets. You’ve probably heard of some of them. Most of them are very good! Few companies in tech, or anywhere, can claim a track record as impressive and consistent as the folks in Cupertino. But only one Apple product can be the best Apple product. The Verge’s…
From The Verge. Raycast is an unusual app with an unusual amount of access: it’s a launcher and application platform that can directly interact with all the files and apps on your computer. Raycast didn’t start as an AI-centric product, but Thomas Paul Mann, the company’s co-founder and CEO, thinks AI is the key to…
From The Verge. It’s a holiday week for many of us, which means a lot of Turkey Trots and a lot of TV. We have something for both in this episode! First, Nick Thompson, the CEO of The Atlantic and author of the new book, The Running Ground, joins the show to talk about his…
From The Verge. Vine was the original short-form video platform, and pioneered so many of the ideas we now take for granted in reels and TikToks. It was a cultural engine whose executives clashed with the creators who made it famous, before everybody decamped for other platforms. Marina Galperina, Sarah Jeong and Mia Sato join…
