Mortgage Rate Forecast Clouded by War Moves, Tariffs and the Federal Reserve

Buyers should keep an eye on the possibility of rate cuts in the next few months. Tharon Green/CNET The housing market is hardly immune to political and economic volatility, yet mortgage rates have been eerily calm over the last period. Since the spring, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage has moved in a mostly narrow range around 6.8% and 7%. Mortgage rates were expected to gradually improve in 2025.

RFK Jr.’s CDC panel ditches some flu shots based on anti-vaccine junk data

The vaccine panel hand-selected by health secretary and anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday voted overwhelmingly to drop federal recommendations for seasonal flu shots that contain the ethyl-mercury containing preservative thimerosal. The panel did so after hearing a misleading and cherry-picked presentation from an anti-vaccine activist. There is extensive data from the last quarter century proving that the antiseptic preservative is safe, with no harms identified beyond sl

Apple details new fee structures for App Store payments in the EU

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-16 02:42:53

Apple has introduced new fee structures for developers using the App Store in the EU in order to meet the requirements of the bloc's Digital Markets Act. Last month, the European Commission ruled that Apple was not in compliance the legislation and ordered the company to make changes within 30 days. Apple can still file an appeal of the decision until July 7. The new terms make things a little complicated. When apps promote offers for digital goods or services in the EU, they'll be subject to a

There Has Never Been a Better Time to Revisit the Original ‘Gundam’

Gundam has spent nearly 50 years reinventing itself across myriad side stories, new universes, and reimaginings of the story that started it all in the events of the “Universal Century” that kicked off in the original 1979 series Mobile Suit Gundam. There are so many ways to get into the franchise, newer starting points, perhaps less intimidating starting points than a 43-episode TV series.

These Smart Glasses Are Already Kicking Meta Ray-Bans’ Ass

Meta clearly has more competition than ever in the world of smart glasses, and that field of competitors isn’t getting any slimmer. The most recent company to join the smart glasses fray is China’s Xiaomi, which just unveiled a pair of frames that, if I’m being totally honest here, puts Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses to shame—at least on paper. The first thing I noticed about Xiaomi’s AI Glasses, which costs around the same price as Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses at $280, is that it does something that I’ve be

Tesla Robotaxi Safety Monitor Forced to Clamber Into Driver's Seat and Take Over, Passenger Says

Earlier this year, Elon Musk promised that Tesla's robotaxis would launch offering fully "unsupervised" rides with "no one in the car." That turned out to be a lie. And less than a week into the robotaxi service's debut, which is currently limited to a tiny geofenced area in Austin, Texas, it's already become apparent that the self-driving cars are very much reliant on the human supervisors — or "safety monitors" — that Musk was adamant he wouldn't need.

Tiny orange beads found by Apollo astronauts reveal Moon's explosive past

The Apollo astronauts didn't know what they'd find when they explored the surface of the moon, but they certainly didn't expect to see drifts of tiny, bright orange glass beads glistening among the otherwise monochrome piles of rocks and dust. The beads, each less than 1 mm across, formed some 3.3 to 3.6 billion years ago during volcanic eruptions on the surface of the then-young satellite.
