Long before Taco Tuesday became part of the pop-culture vernacular, Tuesdays were synonymous with security — and for anyone in the tech world, they still are. Patch Tuesday, as you most likely know, refers to the day each month when Microsoft releases security updates and patches for its software products — everything from Windows to Office to SQL Server, developer tools to browsers. The practice, which happens on the second Tuesday of the month, was initiated to streamline the patch distribution process and make it easier for users and IT system administrators to manage updates. Like tacos, Patch Tuesday is [...]
Microsoft released 63 patches for Windows, Microsoft Office, and developer platforms in this week’s Patch Tuesday update. The February release was a relatively light update, but it comes with significant testing requirements for networking and remote desktop environments. Two zero-day Windows patches (CVE-2025-21391 and CVE-2025-21418) have been reported as exploited and another Windows update (CVE-2025-21377) has been publicly disclosed — meaning IT admins get a “Patch Now” recommendation for this month’s Windows updates. (All other Microsoft platforms can be handled with a standard update schedule — and there were no updates for Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server.) To navigate these changes, the [...]
In a landmark shift, Arm has secured Meta as the first major customer for its internally designed server CPUs, a move that signals its entry into direct chip sales and places it in direct competition with its biggest customers, including Qualcomm and Nvidia. The company, known for licensing its chip designs to industry heavyweights like Apple, Nvidia, and Qualcomm, is now stepping directly into the silicon market, a move that could put it in direct competition with the very customers it once served. This strategic shift marks one of the most significant transformations in Arm’s history, potentially destabilizing long-standing partnerships [...]
Apple has made a small but significant move by introducing its Apple TV app to Android. It might seem like a minor step, but it marks a major pivot in strategy as the company expands its services beyond its own ecosystem. Across the years, rumors and recruitment ads show it has been putting this plan together for some time. Outside the walled garden That all this speculation has become reality shouldn’t be a big surprise. It’s not as if Android is the first platform to see Apple services support. Windows has many, including iCloud, Music, TV — and Apple Music is already available on Android. What this [...]
Pixar Animation Studios has an unusual logo. The basic logo is the word “Pixar.” But sometimes, an animated lamp named Luxo Jr. hops into the frame and jumps on the letter “i.” The lap exudes personality and represents Pixar’s ability to turn any object into a compelling character. Inspired by Luxo Jr., Apple’s Machine Learning Research division decided to create a personality-expressive lamp of their own. Apple’s ELEGNT research project explores what’s possible with an expressive physical user interface for non-humanoid robots. Based on the situation and context of the user, as well as voice interaction, gestures and touch, the [...]
It may seem like a paradox, but notifications are both the best and the worst part of owning an Android device. On the one hand, notifications let us stay on top of important incoming info — be it a critical Slack message, a personal family text, or an email from a high-priority client or colleague. On the other hand, man alive, can they be menacing — both distracting and also sometimes ineffective, when something significant comes in and you don’t notice it right away. To be fair, Android’s got all sorts of smart systems for taming your notifications and making [...]
Microsoft never sleeps. In addition to its steady releases of major and minor updates to the current version of Windows 10, the company frequently rolls out public preview builds to members of its Windows Insider Program, allowing them to test out — and even help shape — upcoming features. Although Windows Insiders can choose to receive Windows 11 preview builds in one of four channels — the Canary, Dev, Beta, or Release Preview Channel — Microsoft currently offers Windows 10 Insider previews in the Beta and Release Preview Channels only. The Release Preview Channel typically doesn’t see action until shortly [...]
Adobe has released a video generator in public beta in its generative AI (genAI) tool, Adobe Firefly. The company calls the tool the first “commercially safe” video generator on the market. It has been trained on licensed content and public domain material, meaning it should not be able to generate material that could infringe someone else’s copyright. Firefly can generate clips either from text instructions or by combining a reference image with text instructions. There are also settings to customize things such as camera angles, movements, and distances. A paid subscription is required to use the video generator. Firefly Standard, [...]
Chatbots quickly surpassed human physicians in diagnostic reasoning — the crucial first step in clinical care — according to a new study published in the journal Nature Medicine. The study suggests physicians who have access to large language models (LLMs), which underpin generative AI (genAI) chatbots, demonstrate improved performance on several patient care tasks compared to colleagues without access to the technology. The study also found that physicians using chatbots spent more time on patient cases and made safer decisions than those without access to the genAI tools. The research, undertaken by more than a dozen physicians at Beth Israel Deaconess [...]
OpenAI will integrate “o3” into GPT-5 instead of releasing it separately, streamlining adoption while signaling a shift toward fewer, more controlled AI models amid rising competition and cost pressures. “In both ChatGPT and our API, we will release GPT-5 as a system that integrates a lot of our technology, including o3,” CEO Sam Altman said in a post on X. The decision marks a departure from OpenAI’s recent strategy of offering multiple model variants, suggesting the company is prioritizing ease of deployment and product clarity for enterprise users. “We want AI to ‘just work’ for you; we realize how complicated [...]
