The island nation of Samoa is in the midst of a truly devastating measles epidemic. Over 2,600 confirmed cases of the disease have been tallied, with hundreds of new cases being added by the day. A total of 33 people have died at last count, including dozens of children.

When disease begins to spread across an isolated population, the effects can be brutal. Many of the 200,000 people who call Samoa home are now scrambling to receive vaccinations, but it’s a recent anti-vaccination trend that may best explain how the outbreak happened in the first place.

Sony announced the lineup of PlayStation Plus free games for December on Wednesday, and one of my favorite games of 2016 is the star of the show. Titanfall was a great game, but without a single-player campaign or the cache of a franchise like Call of Duty, it never really took off like it deserved too. Thankfully, Respawn Entertainment was still given the chance to make a sequel, and it features one of the best first-person shooter campaigns of the generation. If you somehow missed out on it a few years ago, you should definitely grab it for free.

Pre-orders for Tesla’s recently unveiled Cybertruck don’t appear to be slowing down in the slightest. Just last night, Elon Musk hopped on Twitter and relayed that the cumulative number of Cybertruck pre-orders had jumped to 250,000, just a few days after passing the 200,000 threshold last Sunday. Clearly, Tesla’s somewhat unique take on a pickup truck has engendered a lot of interest from prospective buyers, even as many critics continue to lambast and mock the vehicle’s futuristic design.

Though the volume of Cybertruck pre-orders is trailing slightly behind what we saw with the Model 3, it’s far too early to state with any degree of confidence that the Cybertruck will enjoy anywhere close to the amount of success the Model 3 has seen. The reason for this is that securing a Cybertruck pre-order simply requires a fully refundable $100 deposit. The Model 3, in contrast, required prospective buyers to put down $1,000.

While making the rounds with the press in recent days to promote next month’s release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, director J.J. Abrams acknowledged an embarrassing slip-up behind the scenes that could have spelled disaster for the movie’s studio and its promotional efforts. One of the actors apparently lost their script, which ended up on eBay, but was thankfully recovered before it could be sold and make its way into the wild.

And now we know who the guilty party was. Actor John Boyega offered up the mea culpa during an appearance on Good Morning America, confirming that he’d left his script under his bed, went out partying, and promptly… forgot about it.

India was poised to make history in September by becoming one of just a handful of nations to achieve a soft landing on the Moon. Everything was going smoothly… until it didn’t. Just moments before the Chandrayaan-2 lunar lander was supposed to touch down, its handlers back on Earth lost all contact with the spacecraft.

It wasn’t immediately clear what had happened to the lander, and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) was hopeful that the spacecraft survived its impact. It tried to spot the lander on the surface but failed to detect it and, even after NASA’s own orbiter scanned the surface, the fate of Chanrayaan-2 remained unknown. Now, two months after the lander was presumed destroyed, ISRO is acknowledging that the spacecraft is gone forever.

Comcast has confirmed it’s going to be giving itself an early Christmas present. How, you might ask? Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: By raising prices yet again, with TV and internet bills due for an increase that will go into effect in three weeks.

Smartphone owners these days are holding onto their devices for longer periods of time than ever before, which is why it’s not all that surprising that iPhone sales have been on a little bit of a decline in recent years. In spite of that, Apple has managed to keep quarterly revenue steady — and at times, increase it — thanks to tremendous growth from two areas: Services and its burgeoning Wearables, Home, and Accessories division.

That said, the success of Apple’s AirPods warrants some specific attention, especially given that the wireless earbuds continue to be incredibly popular with consumers. Recently, Apple updated its AirPods line with the AirPods Pro, a new pair of wireless earbuds that feature active noise cancellation, along with improved audio performance and a new design that promises to be slightly more comfortable than the previous iteration.

The PS5 and Project Scarlett may share much of the same hardware, but that doesn’t mean you should expect exactly the same experience from Sony and Microsoft’s next-gen consoles. Xbox Scarlett is expected to let gamers transition between PC and console when it comes to certain games, something the PS5 likely won’t offer.

But the PS5 might ship with a feature nobody saw coming, a special type of virtual assistant that would focus on gaming and gameplay, and one that might not have an equivalent on the new Xbox.
