On Friday, Itel unveiled its newest midrange smartphones, the Itel S25 and Itel S25 Ultra, in the Philippines. Marketed with a name reminiscent of the flagship Samsung Galaxy S25 series expected in 2025, one can’t help but wonder if this similarity is purely coincidental or part of a larger branding strategy. Despite being an entry
Recent concerns raised by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have thrown Tesla into the spotlight, highlighting serious issues surrounding the promotion of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology. The NHTSA’s warnings suggest that Tesla may be misleading the public about the true capabilities of its vehicles, creating not only a potential safety hazard but
The automotive industry is currently at a transformative crossroads, largely influenced by environmental regulations and evolving consumer demands. Recently, Toyota Motor’s executives voiced serious concerns regarding California’s ambitious electric vehicle (EV) mandates, which are scheduled to roll out in the coming year. The assertion that these mandates are “impossible” to meet raises critical questions about
NASA is on the brink of revolutionizing air travel with its experimental X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology (Quesst) aircraft. Recently, engineers successfully conducted the first engine tests at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works facility in Palmdale, California. This milestone represents a pivotal moment in developing an aircraft engineered not just for speed but for a new standard
Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a complex and often debilitating form of spondyloarthritis that primarily impacts the spine and sacroiliac joints. Patients suffering from this condition experience significant pain and stiffness, which can severely affect mobility and the quality of life. The disease manifests in two major forms: radiographic axSpA, also known as ankylosing spondylitis, and
In a significant meteorological event, Hurricane Rafael took center stage on Friday morning as it traversed the Gulf of Mexico—the first major hurricane to do so in November in nearly four decades. The unusual timing of such a powerful storm poses serious threats to the southern coastline of the United States. As forecasters predicted, the
