Ever wonder just how powerful Apple’s market status is? To give you an idea, here’s a passage from a searing report published by The Wall Street Journal published a few days ago: “Around the end of 2015, Sandisk refused Apple’s requests to send additional supply because it already had customers willing to pay more. Blevins threatened a Sandisk salesman with retaliation, saying he would have Sandisk’s chief executive, Sanjay Mehrotra, “crawl on his knees” back to Apple, according to a person familiar with the call.” For years, I’ve heard anecdotes about Apple’s immense bargaining power in the supply chain. After…

A security researcher has uncovered a serious vulnerability in Android that allows an attacker to remotely crash a smartphone using a specially crafted text message. Dubbed “SMS of Death,” the flaw can disrupt cellular services, disconnect ongoing calls, and even leave a phone stuck in a reboot loop. The troubling part is that the recipient doesn’t have to interact with it at all. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-58882, was discovered by security researcher Mark Blaszczyk, who first notified Google about it in May. On October 29, he published his findings alongside a working demonstration, after successfully reproducing the attack on…

Microsoft is giving Windows 11 Search a sizeable upgrade, turning it into something more useful than a place to hunt for missing files and applications. The company has announced new Insider Preview builds for the Beta and Experimental channels, bringing expanded Search capabilities alongside a new privacy policy for commercial customers. The update is part of Microsoft’s effort to make Windows Search more action-oriented. Instead of simply showing links to settings or applications, Search can now let users perform certain tasks directly from the results panel. That could mean adjusting screen brightness, changing cursor size, or even sending a text…

AI has managed to do something rather unexpected: it is making people afraid of sounding like themselves. As detection tools such as Pangram increasingly influence debates over whether a piece of writing was created by a human or a chatbot, authors and students are changing their language to avoid raising suspicion. That means fewer familiar writing habits, more deliberate imperfections and, in some cases, people second-guessing perfectly ordinary sentences. A Bloomberg report has highlighted how AI detection has moved beyond catching machine-generated content. It is now influencing the way people write, even when they claim they have never used AI.…

Samsung‘s first AI-powered smart glasses are finally getting closer to store shelves. According to a new report from South Korea’s ChosunBiz, the company is planning to launch its Intelligent Eyewear in mid-December, and if you’re waiting to get your hands on them outside the US or South Korea, you might be disappointed. For those catching up, we reported earlier in October that Samsung was planning a November launch. However, the latest report suggests the release has been pushed back by a few weeks. Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed the new date, and there’s still no word on how much the glasses…

Motorola seems to have decided that playing it safe is terribly overrated. Its upcoming Signature 27 flagship is shaping up to be a serious piece of hardware, with a reported 12,000-nit Tandem OLED display, a 200-megapixel periscope camera, and enough memory to make most everyday users feel slightly spoiled. The phone is set to launch on November 5, but a new hands-on video from YouTuber Danny Winget in collaboration with Motorola has already spilled several of its biggest secrets. And there is quite a bit to get excited about. The Signature 27 could be Motorola’s attempt to muscle its way…

WhatsApp is introducing four new features to group conversations, aimed at making it easier for users to manage important messages and catch up on conversations they may have missed.

The updates address a common problem with busy WhatsApp groups, where conversations can accumulate hundreds of messages within a few hours, making it difficult to find important information or keep track of messages that actually need your attention.
