While Tinder's outgoing CEO, Renate Nyborg, lasted less than a year on the job, she was not Match Group's only high-profile female executive to depart in recent months. In a letter to shareholders that outlined his "observations" from 62 days on the job, Tinder's newly tapped CEO Bernard Kim announced Tuesday that Match Group has tapped a new CEO for the dating app and laid out plans for a new product direction for Tinder. The changes include an integration with Spotify called "Music Mode," which allows people to share a music "Anthem" on their profile, and "Blind Date," a feature that pairs people based on interests before revealing their photos. The letter went with the dating application monster's profit for the three months finishing off with June, which sent Match Group stock down ...

You're not alone if you have one or more drawers filled with old gadgets and wires. Decades of the tech sector's pressure to "innovate or die" have led to a long list of useful and flashy household tech products, but many of these same devices also have a need to be replaced at almost the same rapid rate that new technology emerges. The result of this so-called planned obsolescence, combined with a limited number of options to repair older devices over the years, is a tsunami of electronic waste—also known as e-waste. And the fallout from it extends far beyond the headache of figuring out what to do with the clutter tucked away inside your home.   The latest United Nation's information shows the world created a stunning 53.6 million metric lots of e-squander in 2019, and just 17...

A judge on Tuesday ruled that Twitter's lawsuit against Elon Musk over their $44 billion acquisition agreement should go to a five-day trial in October. The decision came at the end of the first hearing in the case over whether to expedite the proceedings. Twitter filed a motion to expedite the proceedings and requested a four-day trial in September. Musk's legal team opposed the motion. Tuesday's hearing featured sharply worded arguments from both sides — including Twitter's lawyer at one point referring to Musk as a "committed enemy" — setting the stage for what is almost certain to be a contentious legal battle. Twitter's lead counsel William Savitt showed up cocked and locked against Musk toward the beginning of the consultation as he contended for a rapid preliminary. Savitt said t...

Elon Musk needs to terminate his agreement to purchase Twitter, but Twitter is not budging. Twitter's legal representatives hit back in a letter to Musk's lawyers Sunday, calling the billionaire's claims "invalid" and demanding that he follow through with the takeover. "Mr. Musk's and the other Musk Parties' purported termination is invalid and wrongful, and it constitutes a repudiation of their obligations under the Agreement," reads the letter, which was signed William Savit, a lawyer at Wachtell, Rosen, Lipton and Katz. Musk has publicly expressed concerns that there are a greater number of bots and spam accounts on Twitter than the company has said. In his Friday letter, his lawyer alleged that Twitter has "not complied with its contractual obligations" to provide Musk with suffi...

Lori Garver was the mission architect who helped NASA pave the way for SpaceX to return to human spaceflight in the United States after a decade. In her new book and in a recent interview, she reflects on that success, the colorful personalities driving this new space race, and the philosophical problems that permeate the aerospace industry at large. CNN Business asked the former NASA deputy administrator whether SpaceX's possible future would entail massive risks, and he had a message for Elon Musk: "Maintaining the premise that the space industry is difficult and inherently risky, in and of itself, will not lead to future success; try to enhance your enterprise in a healthy manner."   In her new diary, "Getting away from Gravity," Garver expounded on her sentiments watching...

Friday's ruling by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade is likely to unleash a wave of new state legislation taking aim at abortion rights, and to reinforce existing laws that prohibit and in some cases criminalize abortion. Among the wide-ranging potential implications of the decision are concerns about the potential use of personal data to punish people who look for information about or access to abortion services online. In a number of the most restrictive states, privacy advocates warn that current affairs, travel plans, and other digital information could be utilized by law enforcement investigating the circumstances surrounding abortion cases. On Friday, the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Swim, the 50-year-old decision that reliable an individual's Constitutional right t...
