9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-19 08:31:11

Who is the next senior level executive planning to leave Apple? Mark Gurman dropped a clue in his Power On newsletter this week. Responding to a question about Apple’s current succession plan, especially after Jeff Williams’ upcoming retirement, Gurman says there is pretty explicit talk within the company about more senior level departures coming. I am hearing pretty explicitly that there are more departures set to come from the most senior levels of Apple. So I’d expect at least one other maj

Scientists Taught a Robot to Play the Drums and He Is Shockingly Horrible at It

When it comes to robot musicians, talent runs the gamut about as much as it does for humans. From the bizarre double-armed machine that made a guest appearance in Sweden last fall when it played cello with the Malmo Symphony Orchestra to the poorly-disguised, tunic-wearing humanoid robot seen playing keytar at a festival in China, we've seen some incredible examples of robotic artistry recently.

Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x Review: Great, Not a Must-Have

You can also pair it with Dyson's app, which offers tutorials based on your hair type and goals. Dyson also moved the fan and heat controls to the base of the handle.

As part of this push, the Federal Aviation Administration is directed to "eliminate or expedite" environmental reviews — an obstacle that has been a persistent thorn in Musk's side.
