Bloomberg's Mark Gurman today said that Vision Pro chief Mike Rockwell will be taking over the Siri team at Apple, which until now was led by Apple's artificial intelligence chief John Giannandrea. Apple CEO Tim Cook has apparently "lost confidence" in Giannandrea's ability to "execute on product development," but he will remain at the company for now t...

Nook, line and sinker. Remember two, maybe three years ago when COVID-19 hit and Animal Crossing: New Horizons came out? Hah, what a fun and relatively recent time that was!

The original Den of Thieves was a movie cut directly from the Heat mold: a kitchen-sink heist movie with a little bit of everything. There were wives, kids, crews, and every kind of relationship drama, all held together by the glue of a cat-and-mouse race between cops and crooks — hell, even Heat threw in...

Tesla is recalling more than 46,000 Cybertrucks due to a potential safety issue. According to a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the armored vehicle's cant rail (a cosmetic exterior trim panel) could detach from the truck, potentially leading to injury or a collision. The recall covers all 46,096 Cybertrucks manufactured between November 13, 2023, and February 27, 2025. Given that the vehicle launched in late 2023, that should be, well, just about all of th...

Many Shark robot vacuums and related products have been deeply discounted as part of the Amazon Spring Sale. This includes the well-regarded Shark AI Ultra robovac, which is now $300 instead of $438. That’s a pretty serious deal. The Shark AI Ultra not only made our list of the best robot vacuums, but it was our very favorite. This is a fantastic machine. The suction is strong, particularly for a robot vacuum, and the mobile app is easy to use. The vacuum ships with an extra-large self-emptying ...

Earlier this week, the investment firm GF Securities shared multiple research notes regarding Apple's future chips. In one of these notes, it said the A20 chip for the iPhone 18 series would be manufactured with TSMC's third-generation 3nm process, N3P, and in another it said that the chip would use TSMC's newer 2nm process N2. GF Securities is a large organization with many analysts, and it seems like some wires got crossed. In an email to MacRumors, the firm's lead Apple analyst Jeff Pu has si...

That said, what if it could be even better..? Gosh, wouldn't that be something. The thing is, modder MasaGratoR has discovered that the game features a hidden 60fps mode (thanks, wccftech) that would effectively double the performance from the 30fps currently implemented.

Play ball! Nintendo and professional MLB team Seattle Mariners have had a longstanding connection for a while now, with ex-CEO Hiroshi Yamauchi owning nearly 50% of shares when Nintendo of America bought the team back in 1992. Though ownership hasn't sat with Nintendo since 2016 (with the firm retaining a 10% share following the sale), the pair still share a lot of love, and this will be demonstrated in the upcoming season with a new Nintendo patch adorning the Seattle Mariners jersey, as showca...

In case you need further evidence that companies involved in AI chip manufacturing are looking to give themselves whatever edge they can, SoftBank is adding to its institutional expertise by buying former Intel president Renee James’ Ampere Computing. The conglomerate is paying $6.5 billion in cash for the chip design business. Ampere, which James founded in 2018, focused on cloud-native computing at first. No prizes for guessing which area the company has moved into since then: "sustainable AI ...
