How much would you pay each month for a Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple home accessories and a handful of Apple services, including health and home security services? More to the point, how many of Apple’s 2.5 billion users would be willing to pay for the Apple Plus Services suite, and how much would this generate each month in high-yield, high-margin predictable income for the former hardware company? Apple-as-a-Service? It’s possible The Apple-as-a-Service idea has hovered at the edge of Apple speculation for years, and while Apple has skirted with the concept (iPhone Upgrade Program), it’s never quite found a way to combine hardware and software [...]
Across industries, CIOs are rolling out generative AI through SaaS platforms, embedded copilots, and third-party tools at a speed that traditional governance frameworks were never designed to handle. AI now influences customer interactions, hiring decisions, financial analysis, software development, and knowledge work — often without being formally deployed in the classical sense. The result is a widening gap between rapid AI deployment and responsible-use protections. Organizations adopt AI faster than they can govern its usage, then scramble to retrofit controls after something goes wrong. Interviews with five practitioners — each working at a different pressure point of enterprise AI — [...]
For years, Amazon Go stores stood at the pinnacle of retail store technology, showcasing a massive number of high-resolution digital cameras in each store that could visually track every customer and how that shopper interacted with every product. The stores showcased Amazon’s technological superiority and brought an eerily human- and friction-free element to convenience store shopping. Unfortunately, the whole setup was also a poster child for technology that isn’t profitable and has no realistic path to get there. (Sounds a lot like all those vendors now selling generative AI (genAI) and Agentic AI systems; the crown for chasing unreachable ROI [...]
A Windows launch isn’t the end a process — it’s really just the beginning. Microsoft continually works on improving Windows 11 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 version of Windows 11 — currently version 25H2 — over the past year. For each build, we’ve included the date of its release and a link to Microsoft’s announcement about it. The most recent updates appear first. The easiest way to install updates is via Windows Update.

Windows developers are now focusing on improving the core experience in Windows 11, with Microsoft reportedly redirecting resources to address the operating system’s performance and reliability issues, according to The Verge. The move follows criticism of Windows 11 over recurring bugs and performance issues. Many users have also reacted to what they perceive as intrusive ads, bloatware, and unwanted AI initiatives. “The feedback we’ve received from our community of engaged customers and Windows Insiders has been clear. We need to improve Windows in ways that actually matter to people,” Pavan Davuluri, head of Windows and devices, told The Verge. “This [...]
It’s easy to fall down the rabbit hole that is the hype surrounding Anthropic’s code agent Claude Code, a hype that really took off during the Christmas holidays and — at least in tech circles — is reminiscent of ChatGPT’s arrival three years ago. Claude Code, already being called both “the new ChatGPT” and “the end of SaaS,” and is considered by many to be the next big step in AI development and AI use. If, like me, you spend a little too much time online, Claude Code has started to completely dominate your feeds lately. Of course, it “helps” [...]
Apple covered a lot of ground Thursday when it announced record Q1 results, but perhaps what mattered most were the insights into how the company now thinks about artificial intelligence, Siri, and Google Gemini. Apple’s forthcoming, existentially significant and much smarter Siri will be powered by Apple’s collaboration with Google Gemini and the company told us a little about how it will work: it will work on-device or use Apple’s Private Cloud Compute (PCC) system. (Apple also confirmed PCC servers are already being manufactured and shipped from a US factory.) Private, integrated, relevant “These AI experiences are personal, private, integrated across our platforms, and [...]
Over the next few years, agentic AI is expected to bring not only rapid technological breakthroughs, but a societal transformation, redefining how we live, work and interact with the world. And this shift is happening quickly. “By 2028, 33% of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, up from less than 1% in 2024, enabling 15% of day-to-day work decisions to be made autonomously,” according to research firm Gartner. Unlike traditional AI, which typically follows preset rules or algorithms, agentic AI adapts to new situations, learns from experiences, and operates independently to pursue goals without human intervention. In short, agentic [...]
We may live in an increasingly digital world, but sometimes — love it or hate it — good old-fashioned pulp-based paper is still a necessity. No matter what type of work you do, you’re bound to encounter the occasional page that needs to be printed or document that needs to be scanned. With your Android phone in hand, though, such scenarios don’t have to be a hassle. In fact, printing and scanning from Android is surprisingly simple these days — if you know where to look. Follow this guide, and you’ll never be caught off guard again. Printing from Android: [...]
