Apple released emergency security updates this week for iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple TVs, patching a vulnerability that the company says may have already been exploited in targeted attacks. The flaw is real. The exploitation is confirmed. And millions of devices remain unpatched. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-24201, exists in WebKit — the browser engine

Notion, the $10 billion productivity company that built its reputation on elegant software design, is making a dramatic internal bet — one that says as much about the state of AI-powered development as it does about the company itself. The firm is actively transitioning its engineering organization away from its own homegrown coding tools and

For as long as wireless communication has existed, the ground beneath our feet has been its natural enemy. Radio waves, the workhorses of everything from Wi-Fi to cellular networks, attenuate rapidly once they encounter soil, rock, and the complex mineralogy of Earth’s subsurface. This isn’t a minor inconvenience. It’s a hard physical constraint that has

TP Vision, the company that manufactures Philips-branded televisions for markets outside North America, is making a decisive break from Google.

For the better part of a decade, the smartphone industry marched in one direction on storage: kill the microSD card slot, sell more expensive models with higher internal memory, and never look back. Samsung did it. Google did it before anyone else. Even Motorola, long a holdout for budget-conscious buyers, started trimming expandable storage from

OpenAI has hired a senior advertising executive from Meta, signaling that the maker of ChatGPT is preparing to build an ad-supported business that could fundamentally reshape how artificial intelligence companies generate revenue. The move, first reported by The Information, marks a concrete step toward a strategy that CEO Sam Altman has publicly resisted for years

A plume of smoke rising from the basement of the air traffic control tower at Newark Liberty International Airport on Thursday afternoon did more than halt flights at one of the nation’s busiest hubs. It laid bare, in a matter of minutes, just how thin the margin of safety is in American aviation infrastructure —

For years, Meta promised its users a future where every message, every photo, every fleeting confession shared across its platforms would be shielded by end-to-end encryption.
