FAA grounds all US flights due to 'telecommunication outage' — won't rule out a cyber attack yet
For only the third time in 25 years, the FAA has called a ground stop for all air traffic in the US. US officials said a telecommunications issue has hampered Air Traffic Control Centers across the US and their ability to communicate with planes in the air. Around 4:30PM ET, the FAA issued, according to ABC News, an extraordinary alert to pilots that reads in part: "Due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety. Attention all aircraft operators.

The Jensen Huang saga isn’t just a tech-world soap opera — it could change the entire future of AI
Update: Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO at 9:00 AM ET. The company's CFO, Colette Kress, is the interim CEO. The Jensen Huang scandal is one of the most remarkable tech stories in recent memory, and, in my view, it’s less about the now ex-Nvidia CEO’s alleged affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy than the tsunami-grade ripple effects of one man’s questionable choices.
'Certainly, we're not trying to make any statements' — Ring's CEO: AI pilot is not about AI or SI
Ring just launched AI Pilot That should not be read as long-term support for the term 'artificial Intelligence', though Company CEO Jamie Siminoff insisted it was not tying "to make any statements" In its struggle to deliver an effective home-surveillance drone to consumers, Ring struggled with how to balance local intelligence with consistent flying skills. Turned out that the answer was in the cloud, or more specifically, cloud AI.

Snap Specs are big, bold, and quirky, but now that I’ve tried them, I don’t see them turning me into Tony Stark
I’ve gotta hand it to Snap. Making Robert Downey Jr., A.K.A. Tony Stark/Iron Man, the honorary Chief Customer Experience Officer for its sixth-generation Specs AR glasses, is a stroke of genius. The move instantly transformed the chunky glasses from an object of derision to one of possible envy.

‘Let's take all the intelligence out': How Ring finally built its home surveillance drone
Ring is finally ready to ship its home-surveillance drone The Ring Drone Cam is lighter than some smartphones A cloud-based AI Pilot does all the driving Third time may be the charm for Ring's long-gestating security drone efforts — and Ring CEO Jamie Simioff insists that the new Ring Drone Cam is just what his customers want. "When people stop me on the street, it's what they ask, 'Where's the drone?'" Simioff told me.
Apple TV is adding American Sign Language to some films — and you don't need a browser extension

The iPhone Duo with an Apple Pencil is as good a drawing platform as an iPad mini

Apple's iPhone Duo and the Apple Pencil (USB-C) are the perfect doodling duo, and now I only wish I had a place to put the Pencil
Apple is firmly in rule-breaking mode, which has led to the introduction of the first touchscreen MacBook, and an iPhone that accepts Pencil input. These rules, as set by Apple co-founder and former CEO, the late Steve Jobs, are now quickly becoming footnotes in the tech giant's history, and consumers are the beneficiaries of this outside-the-box thinking.
The MacBook Pro PROLED XDR 14-inch is my favorite MacBook ever, and it should leave many MacBook Air users feeling jealous
It wasn’t until I unboxed the all-new touchscreen MacBook Pro that I understood the enormity of what Apple had done. They’d told me it was now a 3lb system that was both thinner and smaller than the MacBook Pro M5 (and the recently released M6 model), but it wasn’t until I put the new laptop next to the M5 and then compared it to the MacBook Air M5 that I knew Apple had changed its laptop game. Image 1 of 6 Here's what you should know about me: I hate a heavy backpack.

Meta's VR glasses strike a balance between Vision Pro's wow factor and Galaxy XR's simplicity — and I wish I didn't have to take them off
Experience counts for something, and nowhere is that more evident than on the Meta VR Glasses I finally wore this morning. These lightweight, intuitive, and engrossing VR glasses shed the weight and overdesigned fussiness of previous VR and mixed reality headsets to deliver a subtle, smart, eminently comfortable and fun wearable experience that is equally at home entertaining you with wild VR movies or expansive, productivity-enhancing virtual desktops.

Meta's rumored humanoid robot is another AI services Trojan horse
Meta might be building a 4.5ft-tall, 106lb humanoid robot that could look you in the eye, mimic human expression, and be a help around the home — a description that would fit almost any consumer-grade, humanoid robot from almost half a dozen companies.

ICYMI: the 7 biggest tech stories of the week, including Apple's first touchscreen MacBook and our favorite tech of 2026
Over the past seven days, the tech world has been inundated with more news, events, and exciting announcements, and you can best believe we've had our ears to the ground to cover as much as we can. Apple kicked off our week of news with another round of announcements, most notably its new M6 upgrades and the launch of its first-ever touchscreen MacBook.
The touchscreen MacBook Pro finger-ready display may be a technological marvel
Now that I've seen and touched the touchscreen MacBook Pro , I'm starting to understand that, despite the invention of a Frankenstein-ed new display term ('PROLED'?), this display might be something special. It looks extraordinary, and when compared visually with, say, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition , which also has a Tandem OLED, it doesn't even seem to be of the same species.

Here's the secret behind the return of the illuminated Apple logo on the back of the new touchscreen MacBook Pro
For Apple fans, the touchscreen MacBook Pro PROLED XDR tandem OLED display may be the gift that keeps on giving. Obviously, new integrated digitizing technology made the touchscreen possible, but the ultra-thinness of the display tech can also be credited with enabling the return of a beloved MacBook feature. The touchscreen MacBook Pro is the first MacBook in almost a decade to feature an illuminated Apple logo on the back.

The news comes just days after Apple unveiled M6-class MacBook Pros. Notably, the new PROLED touchscreen laptops are running M5 Pro and M5 Max Apple silicon.
Sorry, but I'm not buying the iPhone Duo crackgate controversy — here's why
In my review of Apple's iPhone Duo , I noted the engineering and build quality, how easy it is to unfold the phone, and also how solid and sure it feels when you close it. And I have opened and closed the flexible, dual-screen phone many, many times.

Apple iPhone Duo vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8: I've tested both passport-style foldables, and I still can't tell you which I prefer — but that's a good thing
The Apple iPhone Duo isn't the first foldable. It’s not even the second foldable. It’s maybe the fourth, the fifth, or the sixth following in the footsteps of fantastic flexible phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Motorola’s Razr Fold, and so many other really strong, solid, and sometimes excellent foldables. But that doesn’t make it any less special.

Every wild thing I learned about the iPhone Duo by answering your AMA questions
The Apple iPhone Duo is the rare Apple product that has not received universally glowing or negative reviews. Opinions are split over its lack of Face ID support, iPhone 17 Pro-grade cameras (but without the telephoto lens), and slightly hefty frame when folded. It's also generated more interest in an iPhone than I've seen in years, and when I followed my exhaustive, generally positive review with a pair of AMAs (Ask Me Anything) on Threads and X , I was flooded with questions.

It doesn't work: Steve Jobs on a touchscreen MacBook and why I think he'll love a touchscreen Mac
If the rumors are true, next week could mark the introduction of the first-ever touchscreen MacBooks . That's a Mac laptop with a touchscreen. People will probably embrace them and, no, I don't think their arms will fall off. Steve Jobs famously hated the concept of a touchscreen MacBook. During an October 2010 product launch, he famously dismantled the notion "You know, the first thing you think about is this [he gestured toward the image of someone reading out to touch a MacBook screen].

Elon Musk and Anthropic's financial plans fail to address fundamental AI risks
AI development and expansion is rocketing across our society, sparkling and bright like a Roman candle, but with its tail on fire. The disruptions are coming so fast, and the concerns are rising so quickly, that no one, not even those running the biggest AI companies, knows what to do. Instead of addressing issues like AI slop , job loss, self-replicating and developing AI running amok, and data centers, these AI bosses have come up with a better solution: cold, hard cash.

The flying Tesla Roadster is an overbaked idea from my least favorite person
There’s a phrase I often used to use when referring to Elon Musk: Don’t bet against Elon. This stemmed from long before he became a supervillain, and was instead no more than an oddball tech-sector genius primed to become a real-life Tony Stark.

Amazon moved the power button on all its new Kindles and I feel vindicated
Amazon has overhauled its entire Kindle ereader line They have new materials and a repositioned power button There are also new accessories, some of which will turn heads Yes, Amazon has an all-new line of 13th-generation Kindle ereaders. Sure, they're marginally lighter and thinner than ever, with scant display upgrades, newly smooth, flush faces, and some with stamped aluminum unibodies that come in brilliant and quite trendy colors. But can we talk about buttons?
I'm fascinated by the 'Freckle Phone' — a kids' smartphone with no social networks and tools to help your child explore the outside world — so I asked its creator my burning questions
I was a free-range kid before the term existed. Growing up before cell phones, my parents' chief communication device was a very loud voice, and one only used after the sun set and "dinner!!" was served. Freckle Phone creator Sam Terris tells me he, too, was free-range and, as he recalls it, had a lot of sovereignty.
