It's often the first visual impression someone has of your brand, so getting the style right really matters.

Color isn't just decoration. Long before someone reads your tagline or understands what your business offers, they feel something about your brand, and color plays a major role in shaping that first impression. Our brains are wired to react emotionally to color, often without us even realizing it.

By now, it's no secret that scam ads are everywhere on Meta's platforms.

Google Translate has been around for so long that many of us take it for granted. It's the app you open when travelling, reading foreign websites, or trying to figure out what that oddly worded message really means.

A newly released security advisory from AKATI Sekurity is raising concerns over a high-risk vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook that could allow attackers to run malicious code on a victim's system.

AI-powered browsers are quickly becoming a familiar idea. We've already seen experiments from players like Perplexity and OpenAI, and Google has been quietly moving in the same direction for a while by weaving Gemini into different parts of the web experience.
