Shadows Fall - Sounds like we will be getting that new album SOON-ish. Brian told WSOU 89.5 FM that there might be a different release strategy this time around since there is no label pressure. So far the band claims to have around 6 or 7 new tunes recorded so far, with a vinyl planned in the end.

Snapdragon - Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 as a more affordable alternative to its flagship 8 Gen 3 chip. While less powerful, the 8s Gen 3 retains most key features and introduces an updated CPU and on-device generative AI support. Positioned between the budget and premium tiers, it succeeds last year's 7 Plus Gen 2 chip. However, Qualcomm's confusing naming conventions for its processors continue to lack clarity.

The art looks like the powers that be at Marvel are trying to shrug off some of the socio-political agenda from the recent past.

Space Ghost - Dynamite Comics has secured the rights for the good old talk-show host. But the serious version. From the team of David Prepose (Punisher) and Jonathan Lau (Vampirella Strikes), Dynamite’s new series looks like it’s taking an edgier turn than the Hanna-Barbera cartoon that befits its period, and the studio’s tongue-in-cheek style.

Meta Quest 3 - Alleged leaks about Meta's upcoming Quest 3 virtual reality headset surfaced last week, with conflicting details emerging. Initial leaks seemed to depict a budget-friendly "Quest 3 Lite" without augmented reality capabilities. However, more recent alleged screenshots from an internal Meta meeting showed a headset with a front-facing camera array and marketing focused on "mixed reality," suggesting augmented reality features. The authenticity of these leaks remains uncertain, as the level of detail in the latter leak has raised doubts about its legitimacy, given the potential legal risks of leaking internal documents.

Foldable Phones - Leaks suggest Samsung will cater to different segments of the foldable phone market with its upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6, offering both a budget version around $800 and a high-end model, with the former making compromises like no S Pen support and a smaller battery. Meanwhile, an unconfirmed roadmap points to Apple joining the foldable fray in 2026 with its own foldable iPhone, which is expected to carry a premium price tag higher than Samsung's budget offering.
