If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to get into the Mac ecosystem (or retire an aging Intel iMac or laptop), this is it. The latest Mac mini with M4, 16GB unified memory, and 256GB SSD is down to $479, which is wild value for a brand-new Apple desktop “built for Apple Intelligence.” You’re getting Apple’s newest chip, plenty of RAM for everyday multitasking, and the usual tiny footprint that fits almost anywhere. What you’re getting This Mac mini uses Apple’s M4 chip, which brings faster CPU and GPU performance plus a more powerful Neural Engine for all the…
Apple on Wednesday released its annual list of the most downloaded apps and games for the year. For the U.S. market, OpenAI’s ChatGPT topped the ranks of free iPhone apps (not including games) with the most installs in 2025. The AI app was followed by Threads, Google, TikTok, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, Google Maps, Gmail and then Google’s Gemini. ChatGPT made it to No. 4 last year, but the top spot was taken by Chinese shopping app Temu. In 2023, the AI app didn’t make the top-ten list despite being released on the iPhone in May 2023 to a strong debut.…
I’ve owned a Kindle e-reader since 2009. The E Ink display is timelessly familiar and has allowed me to take hundreds of books on planes, trains, and automobiles — plus keep reading once I arrive at my destination. Well over a decade later, Amazon introduced the very first Kindle Scribe, which sought to replace the stack of notebooks sitting on the corner of my desk. To my surprise, it’s done exactly that. The only thing that could’ve made my workflow even better was if the Kindle Scribe came in color. Back in September, Amazon announced just that: the brand new…
A San Francisco-based startup has demonstrated what it calls a breakthrough in hardware development: an artificial intelligence system that designed a fully functional Linux computer in one week — a process that would typically consume nearly three months of skilled engineering labor.Quilter, which has raised more than $40 million from investors including Benchmark, Index Ventures, and Coatue, used its physics-driven AI to automate the design of a two-board computer system that booted successfully on its first attempt, requiring no costly revisions. The project, internally dubbed "Project Speedrun," required just 38.5 hours of human labor compared to the 428 hours that…
As AI wheedles its way into our lives, how it behaves socially is becoming a pressing question. A new study suggests AI models build social networks in much the same way as humans.Tech companies are enamored with the idea that agents—autonomous bots powered by large language models—will soon work alongside humans as digital assistants in everyday life. But for that to happen, these agents will need to navigate the humanity’s complex social structures.This prospect prompted researchers at Arizona State University to investigate how AI systems might approach the delicate task of social networking. In a recent paper in PNAS Nexus,…
Samsung has kept a consistent approach to cameras on its baseline Galaxy S-series model for a few years. The Galaxy S25 arrived in January with the same triple camera setup as the Galaxy S24, which itself was rocking identical camera hardware to the Galaxy S23. A new report from South Korea’s The Elec suggests that the upcoming Galaxy S26 is expected to reuse the same camera modules as the ones used in its Galaxy S25. This means a 50MP main (1/1.56”), a 10MP telephoto (1/3.94″) with 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide (1/2.55″). But that was not the initial…
Windows 11 has a new preview buildIt fully removes AI actions if you’ve disabled them all in File ExplorerThis means there will no longer be an empty folder in the right-click menu for AI actions that have been turned offWindows 11 just got a change for the better in terms of AI – albeit only in testing for now – which removes some clutter related to the AI actions feature.That functionality pertains to File Explorer’s right-click context menu, but it’s more of a refinement to existing options than anything else (and I’ll come back to why later). Even so, it’s…
Presented by BlueOceanAI has become a central part of how marketing teams work, but the results often fall short. Models can generate content at scale and summarize information in seconds, yet the outputs are not always aligned with the brand, the audience, or the company’s strategic goals. The problem is not capability. The problem is the absence of context.The bottleneck is no longer computational power. It is contextual intelligence.Generative AI is powerful, but it doesn’t understand the nuances of the business it supports. It doesn’t have the context for why customers choose one brand over another or what creates competitive…
OpenAI has long made it its number one goal to realize artificial general intelligence, which it described in a 2023 blog post as “AI systems that are generally smarter than humans,” and which will benefit “all of humanity.” Since then, experts have often accused the company of repeatedly shifting the goalposts, greatly watering down its original goal of an AI truly capable of surpassing the intellect of a human being. And now, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is reportedly setting aside what was once his firm’s top priority in an effort to stop the company from succumbing to its steep competition.…
