The next governance challenge that chief information officers (CIOs) can’t ignore in 2026 is the acceleration of artificial intelligence (AI) agent sprawl. The possibility of the uncontrolled expansion of AI agents across an organization is reminiscent of the shadow IT issues that arose in the 2010s when departments disregarded corporate IT and implemented tools they needed without guidance. The shadow IT phenomenon caused security issues and compliance blind spots.  AI agent sprawl is poised to repeat history, but with even more risk and complexity. AI capabilities are increasing, and as AI agents become more accessible, they are added to pivotal…

SpaceX’s Crew-11 is returning from the International Space Station (ISS) early due to a medical concern with one of its astronauts. It’s the first recorded case in which NASA has decided to bring home a crew member ahead of time due to a health issue. Crew-11 comprises Americans Michael Fincke and Zena Cardman, along with Japan’s Kimiya Yui and Russia’s Oleg Platonov. They arrived at the ISS in August last year and were due to return to Earth next month. NASA has declined to reveal any details about the medical issue, and hasn’t said which astronaut is affected. But the…

What was once a simple signal for trust has become a place where potential customers feel like they have to keep a watchful eye. Reviews, including star ratings and written testimonials, have been overtaken by generative AI, automation, and increasingly commissioned reviews.

The rise of fake reviews Fake reviews are no longer only written by paid actors. They have become…

OnePlus turned quite a few heads when it launched the OnePlus 13s, a rebadged version of the OnePlus 13T, outside of its home market. The handset practically reignited excitement in the compact flagship space, offering better value than popular models like the Samsung Galaxy S25, but it remained exclusive to the Indian market. Now, the Indian tipster Yogesh Brar claims that the handset’s successor — the OnePlus 15s — might not make it out of the Chinese market at all. In response to an X user asking whether the OnePlus 15s is canceled, the tipster said there’s a 90% chance…

I’ve spent the better part of a decade preaching the gospel of “build, don’t buy,” but looking at the current state of component pricing, I’m forcing myself to be a realist. When you crunch the numbers on the latest 50-series cards and Ryzen 9000 chips, the math right now overwhelmingly favors the system integrators who locked in bulk pricing months ago. The reality of the gaming PC market We are in a weird market cycle where the sum of the parts is significantly more expensive than the whole. Between the latest surge in RAM prices, the premium attached to the…

Microsoft is quietly killing one of the best features in Edge, and if you’ve ever relied on it to stay organized online, this one hurts. Collections, the built-in tool that lets you save, group, and revisit webpages in a clean, visual way, is officially being retired. Edge has started showing a warning telling users to move or export their Collections before the feature is removed, which is usually the clearest sign that the end is near. Introduced with Chromium-based Edge in 2020, Collections allow you to save webpages, images, and notes into grouped cards that sync across devices. You can…
