They are more often seen as big, clunky, behind the times — steady, sure, but not where you think to look for rapid-fire development of game-changing technologies. But that doesn’t have to be the case. What do large enterprises need to foster innovation? Invest in magnets. No, not rocks or metals or kitschy fridge decoration, but small, dedicated innovation teams what will attract and inspire the broader enterprise. I’ll explain…

Sony announces Death Stranding release date in bizarre Twitch stream

Death Stranding, the puzzling brainwave of former Konami problem child Hideo Kojima, has tantalized the internet for some time. Now, after offering only the most obscure view of the game for almost 3 years, the developers have finally, finally given a good look at Death Stranding in the new trailer, and revealed when it will come out — albeit in the strangest way possible.
