In brief: Amazon's business has benefitted from the pandemic, and now the company is scrambling to expand its workforce in response to the added demand from consumers.

Amazon has added 175,000 jobs since the start of the pandemic, adapting to the pronounced shift of consumers relying more and more on online retail to purchase essential products as well as non-essential items

In brief: Google became carbon neutral over a decade ago, but today, the tech giant pushed the envelope even further. According to a new announcement, Google has officially eliminated its 'entire carbon legacy,' including emissions generated before it went carbon neutral in 2007.

Forward-looking: LG took a different approach than most when it comes to its new dual-screened phone, which is both interesting and concerning. Whether it lives up to expectations will depend a lot on price and its ability to withstand many thousands of display swivels.

In brief: The first signs of extraterrestrial life could be discovered in a place that scientists have long overlooked - the planet closest to Earth, Venus. The rocky world doesn't seem akin to life considering it is the hottest planet in the solar system, but perhaps life is more resilient than we think?

Astronomers in a paper published in the science journal Nature on Monday said they have identified the apparent presence of phosphine gas in Venus’ atmosphere. This is unusual because, per the paper, any phosphorus in this

In context: Microsoft's cloud gaming service, formerly known as Project xCloud, launches tomorrow. The platform still does not have an official name and is now just a part of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate bundle, so we'll continue to call it xCloud for simplicity's sake.

Microsoft announced on Monday that xCloud would launch this Tuesday with more than 150 playable games. That is quite a competitive start since Google's Stadia platform began with only 22 titles in November of last year and
