So, things like images, scripts, and cookies that your browser saves on your phone to make pages load faster the next time you visit. Also: How to clear your Android phone's cache and make it feel like new Over time, though, those files can add up, taking a large bite out of your device storage and slowing things down.

Apple Ads Aren't Cool Anymore. Here's What I Think Changed

Nothing about Apple's latest promotional video felt like Apple. For over 7 minutes, an awkward comedian explains to a sleepy audience of disinterested teens that the only way parents will buy them an expensive MacBook for college is to make a convincing PowerPoint business presentation. Problem was, the presentation wasn't convincing -- and it was hard to tell who the video was even targeting. Do the parents who raised the iPad generation need to be swayed to buy Apple products? Or was Apple tr

As ‘F1’ hits theaters, how big does it need to be to count as a hit?

Apple Original Films just had its biggest theatrical debut ever, with F1 The Movie. The movie reportedly had a budget of $300 million, which puts it in the same territory as Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. But how big must the premiere box office be to count as a blockbuster in 2025? We did the math. Unlike these mega-franchises, F1 is trying to launch a new movie IP, and it’s doing so with a tech company behind the wheel. Or is it Apple who is trying to

An exceedingly rare asteroid flyby will happen soon, but NASA may be left on the sidelines

A little less than four years from now, a killer asteroid will narrowly fly past planet Earth. This will be a celestial event visible around the world—for a few weeks, Apophis will shine among the brightest objects in the night sky. The near miss by the large Apophis asteroid in April 2029 offers NASA a golden—and exceedingly rare—opportunity to observe such an object like this up close. Critically, the interaction between Apophis and Earth's gravitational pull will offer scientists an unpreced

I chatted with five AI bots - these made the best conversations

Lance Whitney/ZDNET Many popular AIs offer a voice mode that enables you to carry on live conversations with a chatbot. Often, chatting by voice is more convenient, more natural, and more fun than trying to converse through text prompts. Plus, you can typically review a transcript of the conversation after you're done, so you still have access to the actual text. But which AIs are the best conversationalists?
