The NFL posted that Taylor Swift arrived at the Super Bowl to watch Travis Kelce play. Does that guarantee a third pillar of Swift-obsessed viewers will join those who want to know what happens in the game and those who just want to watch the commercials?
The New York Times looked at this season’s Chiefs games ratings and... maybe?
Tom Cruise posted this 90-second streaming trailer cramming together his first seven Mission: Impossible movies, which are all on Paramount Plus after the most recent movie, Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning, hit the service on January 25th.
There’s plenty of time to catch up before Mission: Impossible 8, which won’t release until May 2025.
Last week, Musk said he wanted to move Tesla’s incorporation to Texas after a Delaware judge struck down his $55 billion pay package, but as Bloomberg notes, that would take a shareholder vote. There’s no such restriction on Neuralink.

Jon Hamm narrates this Super Bowl trailer for Despicable Me 4 that shows the great, erm, promise of AI-generated imagery.

The AI-generated stand-in voice for imprisoned Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan claimed victory on behalf of his party in Pakistan’s parliamentary elections on Saturday, according to The New York Times.

So Mark Gurman wrote in the subscriber version of his Bloomberg Power On newsletter today. Not that we should expect any different. The iPhone, Mac, iPad, and Apple Watch all get their big updates at about the same time.
Historically, that means a September visionOS 2.0 release. Also historically, Apple will crow about Vision Pro features it just can’t wait for you to experience at this year’s WWDC.
Some members of the Vision Pro team inside Apple think that, like the iPhone and Apple Watch before it, the headset won’t hit its stride until its fourth iteration, according to Mark Gurman in today’s Power On newsletter for Bloomberg.
