Why Wait for the Pixel 10 When You Can Grab the Pixel 9 Pro Fold for $600 Off?
Amazon just slashed $600 off the advanced Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which is the biggest straightforward price cut we've ever seen. That drops this foldable model down to a record-low $1,199 -- $100 cheaper than the previous best price. A deal this good will last for long, so be sure to get your order in sooner rather than later.
In our review of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, mobile expert Lisa Eadicicco said the device is "more polished and practical" in terms of design than its predecessor, feeling like "a big leap" forward. As well as the improved physical form, she praised its larger screens and the substantial seven-year software update commitment Google has made for this model. One major issue was the price, but a massive $600 discount goes a long way toward addressing that.

Jackie Bezos, mother of Amazon founder, dies at 78
Jackie Bezos died in Miami on Thursday at age 78. (Bezos Family Foundation Photo) Jackie Bezos, the mother of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, died on Thursday at her home in Miami at age 78. Jeff Bezos shared the news on Instagram, saying she passed away surrounded by family after a long fight with Lewy Body Dementia. Bezos said his his mother 'pounced on the job' of loving him when she gave birth at age 17 and that for the rest of her life, the 'list of people to love never stopped growing. She always gave so much more than she ever asked for.' In an obituary published by the Bezos Family Foundation, the philanthropic organization started in 2000 by Jackie Bezos, her husband Mike and their children, Bezos is described as a devoted mother who made 'countless trips to Radio Shack for Jeff.' Her philanthropic pursuits included spearheading the 2016 opening of the Bezos Family Immunotherapy Clinic, a first-of-it's kind facility that was the result of a collaboration between the Fred Hutch Cancer Center and the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. In 2017, Jackei and Mike Bezos gave Fred Hutch $35 million on behalf of the family — at the time it was the single largest philanthropic commitment in the center's 41-year history. They easily eclipsed that number in 2022 with a 'transformative' $710.5 million gift. 'What we are really giving is the gift of time for all those people who will benefit from new treatments and cures,' Jackie Bezos said in 2017. 'It's the gift of more hugs, more graduations and more moments.' Jacklyn Gise Bezos was born on Dec. 29., 1946, in Washington, D.C. Her family moved to Albuquerque, N.M., and in high school she gave birth to her first child, Jeffrey, her obituary reads. She met Miguel (Mike) Bezos, a young Cuban immigrant and married on April 5, 1968. They had two more children, Christina and Mark, and were married for 57 years. 'We were all so lucky to be in her life. I hold her safe in my heart forever,' Jeff Bezos said on Instagram.

Why the smartest creators are building studios
If the last 10 years were about creators building audiences, the next 10 will be about them building infrastructure. We're entering the era of the creator-led studio. It's already happening. Creators are turning themselves into multi-dimensional entertainment businesses. They're not just building content pipelines; they're building worlds, structuring teams, developing IP, launching products, and curating and hosting IRL experiences. They're weaving content, community, and commerce into something bigger with the mindset of founders and the ambition of studio executives. Creators are becoming studios Not in the traditional sense…not high rises, backlots, or broadcast slots, but in a way that's native to the internet and modern-day technologies: fast-moving, audience-first, built around trust and consistency. It's a shift from: 'I make content' → 'I build programming' 'I do brand deals' → 'I own the formats' 'I am the brand' → 'I build brands' The best creator-led studios aren't just launching formats, they're building systems for turning creative point of view (POV) into repeatable output. Moreover, the creators who scale aren't just building content engines; they're building emotional frameworks. Call it voice, POV, or DNA, it's what everything else ladders up to. And at the very bleeding edge, those doing it the best are expanding those frameworks beyond content into commerce, community, courses, products, and live experiences. They are building full-stack media businesses, looking to own the audience, the formats, and the infrastructure. What's driving it? 1. Creators are maturing into operators Creators who have the desire to go after this opportunity are no longer solo acts. They're founders. They're hiring. Building teams. Thinking in pipelines, product-market fit, and distribution economics. They're not chasing virality, they are building staying power, and it's working. I explored this previously, when I discussed the shift from creator to entrepreneur. Now, it's evolving again, from entrepreneur to studio builder. One important callout, though. This isn't for every creator and isn't to diminish the incredible value to come from remaining small and mighty. There will be a thriving segment of creators who stick to what they're doing. However, I believe that the biggest share of audience and money will be held in the relatively few who become studio builders 2. Trust is becoming the most valuable signal As AI floods platforms with synthetic content, trust becomes the premium. As Doug Shapiro put it: ' Trust is the new oil. ' Audiences won't just want content; they'll want curation, context, and a point of view. The creators who earn and sustain that trust won't just be personalities. They'll be institutions. 3. Audience expectations are shifting We're now in an era where consistency is currency. People want formats they can return to. They want creators they can rely on. They want editorial judgment, recurring presence, and recognizable rhythms. That's not just a creative instinct; it's reinforced by platform algorithms and audience psychology. Recurring formats increase watch time, retention, and subscriber loyalty. When content appears reliably and feels familiar, audiences are more likely to form habits around it. Creators who think in seasons, franchises, and formats won't just gain attention, they'll earn mindshare. 4. Metrics over meaning The traditional media and advertising worlds, in their obsession with hyperperformance, data precision, and efficiency, left behind something essential: emotional connection. In that creative and cultural vacuum, creators stepped in. Not with metrics, but with meaning. Creators are value driven. They're plugged into the nuances of pop culture. And they're intimately connected to their communities through access, respect, and trust. They didn't just inherit the audience. They earned it. Not just as content creators, but creative directors of a new era. Bringing the kind of relevance, emotion, and resonance that modern culture wants. We're still in the early stages of this movement. But this shift is real. The creator economy isn't just growing faster, it's growing up. Over the next few years, I believe we'll see more and more creators evolve from individual success stories into collective media companies. Studios. Networks. Brand ecosystems. Institutions in their own right. Because the future of media isn't just creator-led. It's creator-built.
