When asked about product-market fit, Spiegel said he believes mass-market consumer adoption won't occur until the end of the decade.

Google is rolling out an update that will finally allow you to connect your Fitbit workouts, steps, vitals, and other data to Apple Health, as reported earlier by 9to5Mac. With Google Health's 5.05 update, you can now tap your profile icon, select "Partner apps," and choose Apple Health to link your data directly. Previously, you […]

Apple’s long-awaited AI overhaul finally makes Siri the assistant it was always supposed to be. But after years of delays, the launch lands in an AI landscape where chatbots have evolved into agents that can code, reason, create media, and complete complex tasks. Siri AI is genuinely useful, yet it arrives at a moment when simply being a capable AI assistant no longer feels revolutionary.

Founded by the creators of viral offline events like San Francisco’s citywide scavenger hunt Pursuit, Outernet's app helps users save places and events they discover online, then nudges them to actually go.

Meta says it’s restoring access to WhatsApp accounts that were mistakenly flagged and placed “under review” after users reported being unexpectedly locked out of the messaging app.

Wispr Flow's new terms of service indicate it will introduce a notetaker that generates meeting summaries and action items.

Despite predictions that AI agents could make traditional apps obsolete, developers are shipping new software faster than ever. From smarter bookmarking tools and neighborhood marketplaces to digital pen pals and nature journals, here are the latest App Store finds worth adding to your Home Screen.

If you’re looking to cut back on screen time and get a little more active, here’s a roundup of the apps that might help.

India's app market generated a record $345 million in Q2.

Google has shut down Google Earth feature it launched Thursday that allowed users to edit satellite images with text prompts using AI. The tool essentially let users create AI deepfakes of the real world using text prompts; Digital Digging's Henk van Ess, for example, intentionally generated images adding things like refugees near the Mexican border […]

Snapchat has adjusted its recommendation systems to ensure that only videos created by real people are eligible for Spotlight recommendations, taking a stance against AI slop.

New York is suing Kalshi over claims the prediction market is running "an illegal gambling operation." In the lawsuit, New York Attorney General Letitia James accuses Kalshi of violating state laws by accepting wagers without a license from the state's gaming commission, as reported earlier by CNBC. An investigation from the Office of the Attorney […]

An ad for Orchid suggests the AI agent can fix relationship problems by simply doing everything for inconsiderate partners.

WhatsApp will automatically move messages from large businesses to a new folder a few hours after you receive them.

Here's the thing nobody wants to hear: we already know how to break systems where components blindly trust each other's output. We've known for twenty-five years. We just gave it a new name and forgot the lesson. Context An "AI harness" is orchestration glue. Take an LLM, wrap it with a bunch of connectors, plugins, and tool-calling scaffolding so it can actually do things (query a database, hit an API, write a file), and you've got a harness. The Dark Reading piece points out something structurally obvious once you say it out loud: these components form a chain of trust boundaries, and a lot of them don't verify what the component next to them is handing over. If that sentence gives you deja vu, it should. Deserialization bugs, SSRF via internal service calls, XML entity injection through a "trusted" upstream parser — the entire history of appsec is a history of Component A assuming Component B already did the validation. We keep rediscovering this pattern every time a new architecture pattern gets hot enough to attract production traffic before anyone's threat-modeled it. The new part isn't the trust boundary problem. The new part is that the thing sitting in the middle of the chain is a probabilistic text generator that can be talked into doing weird stuff by its own inputs, and it's now wired directly into tool execution. Hype check What's overstated: the framing that this is some novel AI-specific exploit class requiring AI-specific defenses. It's not. It's an integration security problem wearing an LLM costume. The moment you have plugins and connectors passing data between components without verification, you have the same problem you'd have gluing together any set of microservices with implicit trust. The attack surface is old news; the payload delivery mechanism (prompt-driven tool invocation) is what's new. What's understated: how fast harnesses are being shipped without anyone doing basic component-boundary threat modeling, because everyone's racing to sh

Give me a mixtape, and hold the tape.

Apple said a slowdown in mobile gaming and changes to the App Store’s business model — including court-ordered payment rule changes in the U.S. — weighed on its services business, even as the company topped 1.5 billion paid subscriptions.

Every i18n setup I've seen has the same three-way standoff. Developers want type-safe JSON in the repo. Translators want a familiar tool, not a pull request. Product wants to fix a typo without a deploy. So you either pay $50–$500/month for a localization SaaS, or you copy-paste strings between a translator's spreadsheet and your JSON files until something silently breaks. For projects under ~1,000 keys, there's a better middle: the spreadsheet is the database. Translators edit a Google Sheet; an Apps Script endpoint serves it as clean locale JSON; your app pulls that at build time. Here's the whole pattern, with the code. Why a sheet beats a translation service for small projects A localization SaaS earns its price at scale — dozens of translators, thousands of keys, screenshots and review workflows. A 300-key marketing site doesn't have that problem; it has a coordination problem. A Sheet solves coordination for free: translators already know it, it has revision history and suggested edits built in, and product can change a string in ten seconds. You only add the two things a raw sheet lacks — a clean JSON API and a fallback for missing translations. The schema: one tab, one row per key A strings tab, with the key in column A and one column per locale: key en tr es fr hero.title Welcome Hoş geldiniz Bienvenido Bienvenue hero.cta Get started Başla Empezar Commencer Use dot-notation keys ( hero.title ) so the JSON nests naturally in your i18n library. Keep a tiny meta tab too: B1 = default locale ( en ), B3 = version ( 1.0.0 ). The Apps Script endpoint Deploy this as a Web App (same mechanics as any Apps Script webhook ). doGet serves one locale — or all of them — as JSON, and the fallback lives right in the query: an empty cell resolves to the default locale, so a half-translated key never ships blank. // Code.gs const SHEET_ID = ' your-sheet-id ' ; function doGet ( e ) { const locale = ( e . parameter . locale || ' all ' ). toLowerCase (); const result = buildLoca

Spotify says the new feature is designed to let users add personal captions to their favorite songs, such as noting why a track was added to a playlist or when they first discovered it
