I tried Google’s secret, open source, offline AI app to see if it’s better than Gemini

Its current public-facing headliner is Gemini, which also doubles as its virtual assistant on its myriad products.

Apple's Liquid Glass is Windows Vista done well

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-22 02:19:54

It's hard to look at Apple's new "Liquid Glass" aesthetic and not think about Windows Vista, Microsoft's much-maligned OS which also touted transparencies and glass-like effects as a bold new vision for computing. You can see the similarities between Apple's UI and Vista's "Windows Aero" design language everywhere, from the glassified app icons in iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe 26 which look a lot like VIsta's glossy icons, to the transparent backgrounds used in drop down menus, which hearken back to VI

M3 iPad Air running iPadOS 26 Developer Beta. Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET My biggest takeaway from WWDC 2025 is that I can finally use my iPad Air to its full potential. For the longest time, the iPad has been a product that I've wanted to add to my workflow but couldn't due to its rigid operating system -- one that doesn't necessarily complement the iPad's flexible hardware.

The update is rolling out now to the Pixel 6 and later, and the update’s source code is now available to developers on the Android Open Source Project. While Android 16 is classified as a major update, it certainly doesn’t look or feel like one on the surface.

Air-gapped systems, commonly deployed in mission-critical environments such as government facilities, weapons platforms, and nuclear power plants, are physically isolated from external networks to prevent malware infections and data theft.
