In an unusual turn of events, President Donald Trump has found himself at the center of a rare moment of unity across America's deep political divide—only this time, the unity is rooted in criticism rather than support. The issue sparking widespread backlash is the president’s willingness to accept a luxury Boeing 747-8 jet, valued at approximately $400 million, from the royal family of Qatar. Though framed as a gift to the US Department of Defense for inclusion in the Air Force

OpenAI has launched its highly anticipated GPT-4.1 model family for ChatGPT users, bringing a new level of performance and functionality in artificial intelligence. The rollout includes three variants: GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and GPT-4.1 nano. However, there's a catch only ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Teams users will be able to access them.

PM Modi was briefed by IAF

President Donald Trump is drawing attention for his possible acceptance of a luxury aircraft from the government of Qatar to serve temporarily as Air Force One, a move that appears to clash with the foundational messaging of his “America First” policy.

In a move that has sparked controversy across the Indian tech community, viral AI-based coding platform Cursor has quietly excluded India from its free one-year Pro subscription plan for students.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has been suspended indefinitely, following growing hostilities between India and Pakistan. The decision, confirmed by a senior BCCI official on Friday, came in the wake of heightened military tension, multiple air raid alerts, and nationwide blackouts that disrupted not just civilian life but also major sporting events. The league’s suspension was triggered by the mid-match cancellation of Thursday’s clash between Punjab Kings and D

The federal government is finally preparing to enforce the Real ID Act after nearly 20 years of postponements and shifting deadlines. Starting May 7, travelers who do not yet have a Real ID will still be permitted to board domestic flights, but they should expect additional steps and delays at airport security.
