Canon is finally stepping into the vlogging camera arena, and it’s doing so with a quirky new point-and-shoot geared toward a mindless “set-it-and-forget-it” crowd I’m not sure exists. The $429.99 Canon PowerShot V10 is an adorable little camera about the size of an extra-thick deck of cards that packs a fixed 19mm equivalent f/2.8 lens and marries it to a 20.9-megapixel one-inch-type sensor.

For more than two decades, the format of the Google Search results page hasn't changed much: type a phrase and get a list of blue links. Now, the most valuable real estate on the internet appears set to undergo a renovation, with Google announcing an opt-in trial for adding generative artificial intelligence (AI) to the results page.

Alongside tireless political lobbying, Big Tech has infiltrated the academic institutions studying and often promoting AI — with little regard for the potentially catastrophic downsides.

Frequent users of YouTube have higher levels of loneliness, anxiety, and depression according to researchers from the Australian Institute for Suicide Research and Prevention (AISRAP).

Many users have been complaining about receiving calls from unknown international numbers.

Inside the many debates swirling around the rapid rollout of so-called artificial intelligence, there is a relatively obscure skirmish focused on the choice of the word “hallucinate”. This is the term that architects and boosters of generative AI have settled on to characterize responses served up by chatbots that are wholly manufactured, or flat-out wrong. Like, for instance, when you ask a bot for a definition of something that doesn’t exist and it, rather convincingly, gives you one, complete with made-up footnotes.

Widespread use of intelligent algorithmics and dynamic pricing by online retailers, puts the public at risk of ‘adversarial collusion’, maintains Dr Luc Rocher, lead author of the paper, ‘Adversarial Competition and Collusion in Algorithmic Markets’.

Holmes told the New York Times she still works on healthcare-related innovations, and plans to continue while serving her 11-year prison sentence.

Gmail is getting more persistent advertisements that have started popping up in the middle of some users’ inboxes, as first reported by 9to5Google. Several screenshots posted to Twitter show promotional messages mixed in with actual emails on Gmail’s desktop site, and users aren’t very happy about it.

There has always been tension between technology and capitalism. On the one hand capitalism rewards innovation and efficiency. That’s why capitalism has always outperformed managed economies. If a company builds a better mousetrap for less money, then people will have a better mousetrap for less money. Without capitalism it’s unlikely we’d all have smartphones in our pockets that we can use to have pizza delivered to our door within the next 30 minutes. I don’t want to live in a world where I can’t have pizza delivered to wherever I happen to be within 30 minutes.

U of A researchers have developed a machine learning program that predicts patients’ risk of death within one month, one year and five years based on the results of routine hospital electrocardiograms and blood tests. This information may help clinicians improve care — and make the health-care system smarter over time.

Brydge, a once thriving startup making popular keyboard accessories for iPad, Mac, and Microsoft Surface products, is ceasing operations. According to nearly a dozen former Brydge employees who spoke to 9to5Mac, Brydge has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs within the past year after at least two failed acquisitions.

The technology, as it’s currently imagined, promises to concentrate wealth and disempower workers. Is an alternative imaginable?

In 2023, Apple is sitting on top of the world. At times ranked as the most valuable company around, its influence in technology and media–and even some realms beyond–exceeds almost any other single corporation. But it wasn’t always that way, and much of where the company is today can be attributed to a product released 25 years ago: the original iMac.

"I console myself with the normal excuse: If I hadn't done it, somebody else would have," says the Godfather of AI Geoffrey Hinton also known as the 'Godfather of AI' has cut off the strings that tied him to Google so that he could openly give vent to his views about the downside of the technology that has taken the world by storm.

Apple and Google on Tuesday proposed a tech standard to make sure people get tipped off when their movements are being tracked with Bluetooth devices like AirTags or Tile. The tech titans behind rival mobile operating systems that, together, power most of the world's smartphones said the "first-of-its-kind" specification has backing of Samsung, Tile and others.

The problem is that no one can guarantee that AirTags or other similar tags will not be used, for example, to track a person’s location. They usually have very little chance of discovering a small tracker on their person. Apple is trying to combat this, and has specifically developed several mechanisms to alert the person being tracked that an AirTag belonging to someone else is in their vicinity. Unfortunately, the notifications only go out automatically to other iPhones, so for Android phone owners, the ability to protect themselves is very limited. Not to mention other brands of trackers.

We don’t know when. We don’t know who will get there first. But Q-day will happen — and it will change the world as we know it.

The ongoing US District Court lawsuit from Masimo against Apple ended Monday with a mistrial after jurors couldn't reach a unanimous vote. Masimo is a medical firm suing Apple for stealing trade secrets to build the Apple Watch. It won its preliminary case with the International Trade Commission, but Masimo also brought its charges in front of the US District Court in April.

It all began one day when I was playing Fortnite with my wife and my son. I was using a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4(opens in new tab) with my favorite mobile controller(opens in new tab) — the GameSir X2 — and I noticed my eyes ached after playing for an hour or so. I had just turned 37 two months prior and knew that as I got closer to that magical age of 40, things like this would just start happening.
