Third-party app stores are about to become more visible in Google Play.

Apple is asking a federal judge to allow it to charge commissions of up to 15% on purchases made through external links in iOS apps.

Apple has reportedly trained a custom AI model for the China market alongside domestic tech giant Alibaba, a rare cross-border partnership that cuts across growing tensions between Beijing and Washington. The China-focused large language model was developed in partnership with Alibaba and trained with the company's support, Reuters reports, citing three unnamed people familiar with […]

This week I spoke to scientists who have found a way to turn male mouse embryos female. They’ve developed a CRISPR-based approach to essentially cut out the Y chromosome. It allowed them to create female clones of male mice. That’s right: female animals that are genetically identical to males, except for the missing Y chromosome.…

Roman Chiporukha has long turned wild travel dreams into reality. Over two decades as co-owner of the luxury lifestyle firm Roman & Erica, he has orchestrated everything from the construction of a client’s superyacht to vacations in the Bahamas at a location so private that guests must sign an NDA. The experiences earned him “the…

In 2017, Deanne Taylor attended a presentation at the University of Pennsylvania, just a short walk from her office. A researcher was there to unveil the Human Cell Atlas, an ambitious project that aimed to map every cell in the human body. Taylor was floored, and then concerned. As details emerged, she discovered that the…

Apple and Google still aren't done facing Epic Games in court.

In a new filing in its long-running legal dispute with Epic Games, Apple has proposed a structure that would allow it to collect fees on digital purchases made via external links that don't use the company's in-app purchase system. Epic has already responded, saying that Apple's request is "far outside of the bounds" of the […]

One month after Epic Games and Google seemingly stopped fighting over the future of Android app distribution, they were back in a San Francisco courtroom today - where Judge James Donato just ordered Google to make it easier to install rival app stores on Android. It's been nearly three years since a jury unanimously decided […]

X is expanding the open source code behind its 'For You' feed and launching new transparency tools that show users when its ranking systems have affected their accounts or posts.

Apple appears to be trying to secure access to new content and other information for Siri AI.

The social media giant says it was time for a sharper and more modern look after a decade.

Microsoft is simplifying Copilot by combining its consumer and business apps, and dropping AI-generated podcasts, Group Chats, Deep Research, and its Mico character.

The tech giant has considered a nine-figure budget for the payments, according to the WSJ.

The police-tech giant Flock is announcing today that it will change officers’ access to its nationwide network of license plate readers, in an apparent effort to quell a growing backlash and win back contracts lost amid concerns about mass surveillance and police abuse. Several changes aim directly at a problem that has made recent headlines:…

Learn how startups use GPT-5.6 to build faster, more cost-efficient AI agents with smarter model selection and new Responses API capabilities.

This summer has been a scorcher for much of the Northern Hemisphere. June and July marked the hottest two-month stretch in Europe since record-keeping began. The contiguous US endured its hottest month on record in July. South Korea saw its highest-ever recorded temperature. The heat isn’t over yet, but some scientists are already looking ahead…

Split the instruction, split the blame Here's the part that should bother you: nobody had to find a clever new exploit primitive to pull this off. They just chopped a sentence in half. That's the whole technique. And it worked up to 100% of the time on some models. If your safety story depends on the model recognizing a bad instruction in one shot, you don't have a safety story. Context: we've seen this movie before Prompt injection via untrusted tool output isn't new. Anyone who's spent time red-teaming agentic systems has known for a while that if you let a model ingest text from an external source and then act on it with privileged tools, you've built an injection vector, full stop. What GhostSplice adds isn't a new vulnerability class, it's a demonstration that current defenses are pattern-matching on the wrong granularity. Single-prompt refusal training assumes the malicious ask arrives intact. Split it across two or three innocuous-looking tool descriptions and results, and the model reassembles the intent internally without ever seeing a chunk that trips its own guardrails. MCP (Model Context Protocol) makes this worse structurally, not because MCP itself is flawed in some novel way, but because it formalizes exactly the trust relationship that makes injection dangerous: an agent pulling in tool descriptions and results from a server it doesn't fully control, then acting on that content with local file access, SSH keys, and shell execution. We built a nice clean protocol for connecting agents to tools. We didn't build a nice clean way to know if the tool is lying to you. Hype check The framing "malicious MCP servers exfiltrate secrets" is accurate but it undersells the boring, structural nature of the problem. This isn't a zero-day. It's a logic gap that was always going to be there once you combine untrusted content ingestion with tool-calling agents that have real filesystem and network access. Calling it a "technique" with a name gives it more novelty than

When we set out to talk to kids about artificial intelligence, we thought we knew what we’d hear. We expected some to tell us they were using it to cheat a little, the way Millennials and Gen Xers opened up CliffsNotes or programmed formulas into their TI-82s, and others to share inspiring ways they were…

According to an Economic Daily News report spotted by MacRumors, executives for Apple supplier Pegatron confirmed during an earnings call that the iPhone 18 Pro series phones will launch this fall, but the base iPhone 18 won't arrive until the first quarter of next year. The more affordable iPhone 18e and a new iPhone Air […]
