On Monday after a weekend of demonstrations, hundreds of people flocked to Downtown Los Angeles for another round — to support loved ones who’ve been detained during recent immigration protests or ICE raids, and to face off with National Guard troops...
After staring at, scrolling through, and puzzling over Apple's new Liquid Glass design language on my iPhone for the better part of an afternoon, I don't hate it. But I also think it needs a little more time in the kiln.
Apple announced Liquid Glass on Monday for all of its devices at WWDC 2025. Perhaps the most noticeable thing about it is that app icons, tab bars, and even the text...
Macs equipped with an Intel chip will no longer receive major software updates after the release of macOS Tahoe this fall. During the WWDC Platforms State of the Union keynote, Matthew Firlik, Apple’s senior director of developer relations, announced that macOS Tahoe “will be the final release for Intel Macs.”
After launching its first in-house processor in 2020, Apple completed its...
Microsoft is now allowing Windows 11 testers to try out a new, larger Start menu that includes a scrollable interface, new views, and more customizability. An early version of the new Start menu first started showing up in Windows 11 builds in April, followed by Microsoft’s official announcement in May. Today’s Dev Channel release lets you try it out officially for the first time.

Apple's WWDC 2025 had new software, Formula 1 references, and a piano man crooning the text of different app reviews. But one key feature got the short end of the stick: Siri.

The “Adaptive Power” option will exist alongside “Low Power Mode.”
Apple is working on a new “adaptive power” feature in iOS 26 that aims to make your battery last longer. In the iOS 26 developer beta, Apple describes the feature as a way for the iPhone to make “small performance adjustments to extend your battery life,” including by lowering screen brightness and “allowing some activities to...
Apple just announced the next major software update for iPhones: iOS 26 (a jump from what, until recently, was expected to be called iOS 19), and it’s packed with a whole bunch of new features for your phone. The biggest change is a new design, but there are lots of smaller improvements and additions as well that could make a difference in how you use your iPhone every day.
Here’s a bit more...

The Nintendo DS was a wildly successful console, but emulating its unique dual screen design on modern handhelds is a challenge. You can try to squeeze both screens onto a single touchscreen, attempt to completely recreate the DS’ unique hardware, or do what Retroid is...
With Prey, director Dan Trachtenberg revitalized the Predator franchise and showed us all how wildly thrilling its central conceit could still be with just a little bit of reworking. Prey took the classic Predator story and made it feel new by focusing on the past and framing its alien characters' excursions to Earth as part of a much older deadly tradition. Expanding the Predator series with...
Design, to quote a wildly overused Steve Jobs-ism, is how it works. And if that's the case, Apple's new design language, which the company is calling "Liquid Glass" and just announced at WWDC 2025, is really nothing new at all.
The Liquid Glass look comes largely from VisionOS, which shipped with a particular constraint: it had to layer digital information over your physical world, without...
