Microsoft’s Copilot will soon be able to work autonomously on local files in Windows, with Copilot Actions, an “experimental” feature that can perform tasks such as sending emails, updating documents and organizing files on its own. The AI agent relies on a combination of AI vision and advanced reasoning to “click, type and scroll” like a human, Microsoft said. It follows the launch this past summer of a similar Copilot agent (currently available in preview) that can surf the web on its own, booking restaurants or planning trips on behalf of users, for instance. Copilot Actions for local files, is “coming [...]
Well, this is highly irregular. For the first time in many moons now, Google’s giving us not one but two new full-fledged Android versions in a single year. Android 16 officially arrived into the world this summer, and it’ll soon be followed by another release this fall. Keeping up with what’s new and noteworthy isn’t easy at a pace like this — and that’s to say nothing about the ever-streaming updates to core system apps like Gemini, the Google Phone app, and other Android-associated elements. It may be mildly dizzying at times, but it sure is exciting — and an [...]
Microsoft is expected to sidestep a French antitrust probe into its search business after regulators signaled plans to dismiss a complaint by local rival Qwant, easing scrutiny of the US tech giant even as Europe ramps up enforcement of digital competition rules. France’s competition authority is preparing to reject Qwant’s allegations that Microsoft imposed exclusivity restrictions and favored its own services in search and advertising, a decision that could be announced in the coming weeks, according to a Reuters report. Qwant, which has historically relied on Microsoft’s Bing to power search and news results, had accused Microsoft of imposing restrictive [...]
Apple’s alleged decision to suspend development of a lighter and cheaper Vision Pro device sounds a lot worse than it actually is, because in a short time the product will be seen as the Newton of the AR age. Why the Newton? Vision Pro is ahead of its time. To build it, Apple pushed the envelope on operating systems, user interfaces, usability and materials and process design. This resulted in an expensive device that, while cutting edge, hit market far before the applications and experiences to make such devices essential had been born. But lessons have been learned. What we now [...]
Microsoft, which is no stranger to antitrust accusations, is being sued for allegedly manipulating AI prices via its investment in OpenAI. The lawsuit, filed Monday in the US District court in the Northern District of California, argues that Microsoft has used its OpenAI influence to vastly increase AI prices. “ChatGPT prices were inflated since the service’s inception, with price levels reaching an eye-popping 100 to 200 times competitors’ prices on a per-token basis amidst a February 2025 price war,” the filing said. “A secretive agreement struck between OpenAI and Microsoft early in OpenAI’s development allowed Microsoft to control the supply [...]
The global smartphone market grew by 2.6% in the third quarter of the year, equivalent to 322.7 million units, according to preliminary data from IDC. The research firm traces the growth to upgrades to new premium phones and a growing interest in affordable AI-enabled models. Apple and Samsung delivered the strongest results. Apple reported its best July quarter ever thanks in part to the new iPhone 17 series. Meanwhile, Samsung achieved record growth with its latest foldable models, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. Manufacturers like Xiaomi, Transsion, and Vivo also grew strongly. Xiaomi strengthened its position in [...]
Just a day after Microsoft shuttered support for Windows 10, Apple has upgraded the world’s best performing AI PCs with updated versions of the iPad Pro, 14-in. MacBook Pro, and Vision Pro — all now powered by Apple’s secure operating systems and equipped with its industry-leading and astonishingly powerful, 3-nanometer M5 processor. Apple Silicon leads the fleet Significantly more powerful than even the M4 processor, the M5 chip got a press release of its own. That’s because the performance enhancements the 3nm processor introduces are, frankly, so impressive. With up to 10 CPU cores (6 efficiency and 4 performance), 10 GPU cores, [...]
Nvidia’s “personal AI supercomputer,” the DGX Spark, may run fast but it’s been slow getting here. It finally went on sale on Oct. 15, five months later than the company initially promised, and early units are hard to find: Nvidia’s online shop was out of stock on launch day, and retailers have few units in store. When Nvidia unveiled the machine, then known as Project DIGITS, at the CES 2025 electronics show in January, it said it would go on sale in May. But by the time Nvidia gave the product its final name and released more detailed specifications in [...]
If there were anyone who could rest on his laurels, it would be Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who took over the reins from Steve Ballmer in 2014 when the company was at the lowest point in its history. He took the top job after what many people called the company’s “lost decade.” Under Ballmer’s leadership, Microsoft had drifted into irrelevance; Google became a search behemoth, Facebook (now Meta) took ownership of social media, and Apple introduced the iPhone and iPad. Microsoft’s internet presence and influence was vanishingly small. The company had thrown away billions of dollars on an attempt to build [...]
When you live with a folding phone and you’re the kind of person who likes taking total control of your Android environment, you’re bound to realize something pretty quickly: The apps that work brilliantly in a standard Android setup don’t always work so well when you’re dealing with a dual display. Specifically, anything involving your Android home screen is suddenly in a whole new universe. It kinda makes sense, when you really stop and think about it: On a typical Android device — the type 99% of Homo sapiens carry around and that we’ve all traditionally been using for years [...]
