- CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida — SpaceX successfully launched an uncrewed Dragon spacecraft for NASA today (March 6), sending fresh supplies toward the International Space Station (ISS) — and also sticking another rocket landing, the 50th for the company overall.

- Quibi is finally almost here, and in an effort to entice people who are probably already spending too much on content every month, the short form video streaming service is giving people a 90-day free trial for a limited time.
- Quibi’s goal is to offer high-production, premium content to people who spend time on their phones flipping through apps like Instagram and TikTok. Founder Jeffrey Katzenberg doesn’t see Disney Plus or Netflix as competitors, but the free apps that gobble up people’s attention.

- Nvidia posted on its forums on Friday that "per publisher request, please be advised 2K Games titles will be removed from GeForce Now today," the latest in a series of losses for the promising cloud streaming platform.
