    Disney is throwing stacks of cash — and stock — at the fix-it man.

    New-old CEO Bob Iger will get $27 million a year, including $1 million annual salary, $1 million in bonus, and $25 million in Disney stock and stock options.

    Yes, Bloomberg’s right that it’s less than the $46 million he made in 2021, or even the $32.5 million his successor Chapek got. But, uh, Iger was one of the highest paid execs in the world making hundreds or even a thousand times more than his own median employees. Plus, Disney’s stock price has fallen by nearly half since its 2021 peak, meaning the $25M in stock could be worth way more soon.

    Bask in the glow of Samsung’s enormous Odyssey Ark.

    Every year now, Samsung pushes out a massive, droolworthy, jawdroppingly curved gaming monitor like this Samsung Odyssey Ark, or the Odyssey G9 and Odyssey Neo that came before. But despite costing as much as an entire gaming PC, they always ship half-baked. LG, if you’re reading this, give ‘em a nudge with some competition? Say, a curved version of your 42-inch OLED with the tweaks PC gamers need.

    Unreleased Xiaomi folding phone design leaks out.

    Three years ago, phone design got wacky as big manufacturers raced to figure out the best way to use bendy screens — and Xiaomi had the coolest-looking designs by far. Then, Samsung made the Fold and Flip and a bunch of that spark disappeared in favor of practicality. But Xiaomi made another prototype back then that it never showed, according to a new leak.

    If I had to guess, it got axed for being too similar to Huawei’s Mate X.
