On May 14, 2026, the Argentine Air Force retired its last A-4AR attack aircraft from operational service. This marked the end of the Skyhawk’s combat career in one of the two remaining countries that still operated the type in their military aviation inventory. This development provides an opportunity to take a closer look at the history […]

On 28 May 2026, plans were announced for the Ukrainian Air Force to receive Swedish Saab JAS 39 Gripen aircraft. Without going into the broader details already covered in public reports, one specific aspect is worth highlighting – the air-to-air missile package that Ukraine is expected to receive alongside the Gripens. In addition to well-known […]
Middle strike has become one of the defining phenomena of this war – not something conceived in the offices of military theorists, but a capability shaped directly by battlefield pressure. War rarely waits for an army to finish developing the weapons it needs. More often, it forces those weapons to be built in the middle […]

Less than two months after the successful Artemis II mission, which sent four astronauts on a lunar flyby for the first time in over 50 years, the agency announced the first contracts, the […]
Dell, Asus, Lenovo, HP, MSI, Acer, and Gigabyte are among the PC makers that are designing systems around Nvidia's RTX Spark, Nvidia's new Arm-based chip for Windows PCs. But the flagship RTX Spark PC may be from the same company that makes Windows: the new Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra is a high-end RTX Spark system that will offer up to 128GB of unified memory for "creators, developers, and AI builders."
Microsoft says the Laptop Ultra will be available "later this year" but didn't discuss any specific pricing or configuration options.
The Laptop Ultra will slot in above the regular Qualcomm Snapdragon-based Surface Laptops in Microsoft's lineup. Microsoft has made high-end Surface devices with more powerful CPUs and GPUs before, but to date, they've also come with convertible designs that may have limited their appeal. The first was the old Surface Book, with its fully detachable screen and bendy-straw hinge that didn't close all the way; the second was the Surface Laptop Studio, with its chunky design and sliding screen. The Laptop Ultra is Microsoft's first attempt to follow the MacBook Pro formula: it's like the other Surface Laptops, just with more power.

GameStop yesterday made an unsolicited offer to buy eBay for $55.5 billion. GameStop claims that eBay has underperformed and spends too much on sales and marketing and argues that it would become a stronger company if it cuts costs and is combined with GameStop's physical retail locations.
"GameStop’s ~1,600 US locations give eBay a national network for authentication, intake, fulfillment, and live commerce," GameStop Chairman and CEO Ryan Cohen wrote in a letter to eBay Chairman Paul Pressler.
eBay's market capitalization is over four times larger than GameStop's. GameStop faces skepticism about the viability of its offer but says it will obtain debt financing and pay with a mix of cash and stock.
