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 [...]

Generative AI (genAI) agents are changing language translation, with actions, emotions and diagrams now driving communication across languages. Translation agents from a few companies go beyond text and use voice, image, and video to communicate across languages in real time and with high accuracy. “You need to be able to deal with multimodality. It’s not just plain text. There’s a lot more relevant data that you have to ingest,” said Mark Lawyer, president of linguistic AI at RWS. Computer translation isn’t new. But with genAI agents talking and automating actions in productivity and customer service, the stakes are higher. There’s [...]
Windows 10 on Tuesday reached its end-of-support deadline, meaning businesses will no longer receive free security patches or technical support from Microsoft for devices running the operating system. Those that continue with Windows 10 past the deadline must pay $61 per device for the first year of additional support via Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates (ESU) program. The program will be in place for three years, with the yearly cost doubling every 12 months to reach $244 in the final year. Without extended support, businesses risk exposure to cyberattacks and data breaches as new security vulnerabilities will no longer be patched. Microsoft [...]
In what may become another strategically positive moat around its business, Apple has announced a huge 650MW European energy investment to ensure the energy required to use its devices and services is offset with renewable power. The move forms part of a global commitment as the company moves to build a circular business by 2030. Apple dramatically cuts Scope 3 emissions The energy used to charge Apple devices accounted for around 29% of the company’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2024, contributing a large amount to its Scope 3 emissions. The company is working toward becoming completely carbon neutral across its business, [...]
The launch of a major Windows 10 update isn’t the end of a process — it’s really just the beginning. As soon as one of Microsoft’s feature updates (such as Windows 10 version 22H2) is released, the company quickly gets to work on improving it by fixing bugs, releasing security patches, and occasionally adding new features. In this story we summarize what you need to know about each update released to the public for the most recent versions of Windows 10 — versions 22H2 and 21H2. (Microsoft releases updates for those two versions together.) For each build, we’ve included the [...]
Generative AI has gone from curiosity to core capability in less than two years. Companies across sectors now face an urgent skills shortage — not just of AI specialists, but of employees who can use generative AI tools in everyday work. In industries ranging from IT services and software development to staffing, travel, and industrial solutions, technology leaders are experimenting with new ways to prepare their people for an AI-first economy. Taken together, their experiences highlight five big ideas for closing the skills gap. Shift the focus from skills to mindsets At UST, a global digital services company with over [...]
Windows 11 24H2 has been released, but behind the scenes, Microsoft is constantly working to improve the newest version of Windows. The company frequently rolls out public preview builds to members of its Windows Insider Program, allowing them to test out — and help shape — upcoming features. Skip to the latest builds The Windows Insider program is divided into four channels: The Canary Channel is where platform changes (such as major updates to the Windows kernel and new APIs) are previewed. These changes are not tied to a particular Windows release and may never ship at all. Little documentation [...]
Slack is turning its Slackbot helper into a more capable, personalized AI assistant that can perform actions such as drafting content and scheduling meetings. Users have long been able to interact with Slackbot from channels and direct messages, where it can be asked to send reminders or notifications, or provide a preset response to keyword prompts such as what the Wi-Fi password is, among other tasks. The revamped Slackbot, which is currently in pilot, will be accessible from a button at the top of the app. Once invoked, it will answer user queries based on information in conversations, files and [...]
