cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-25 20:00:04

Can generative AI animate a decent movie? That question's getting an early test. OpenAI and production studio Vertigo Films have announced a plan to create a feature-length adaptation of a 2023 short film made as a demonstration for OpenAI's Dall-E image generator. The film, called Critterz, will have a budget of less than $30 million. Producers hope to make the movie in about nine months, in time for the Cannes Film Festival next May, according to The Wall Street Journal. The original short

The Apple Watch SE 3 May Be the Biggest Underdog of Apple's Entire Fall Lineup

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-25 20:00:05

Apple debuted a new lineup of iPhones, Apple Watches, AirPods Pros and even a brand new thinner-than-ever iPhone Air. But the real headliner (at least in this frugal girl's book), was the one I least expected: the Apple Watch SE 3. I usually overlook Apple's SE model because it lacks many of the powerhouse features of the flagship and Ultra editions, like an always-on display or temperature tracking. But this year, the underdog Apple Watch SE 3 is closing the gap, and at $249 for the base model

Can we please keep our broadband money, Republican governor asks Trump admin

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-25 02:01:05

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has a simple request for the Trump administration: Don't take our broadband money away. Trump's Commerce Department rewrote the rules of the $42 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) grant program, forcing states to change how they spend money earmarked for expanding broadband access. The overhaul led states to reduce spending on fiber networks and increase spending on satellite—although not to the extent sought by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who is de

Crispr Offers New Hope for Treating Diabetes

Crispr gene-editing technology has demonstrated its revolutionary potential in recent years: It has been used to treat rare diseases, to adapt crops to withstand the extremes of climate change, or even to change the color of a spider’s web. But the greatest hope is that this technology will help find a cure for a global disease, such as diabetes. A new study points in that direction.

Status Audio Pro X Review: The Best High-End Earbuds?

Never heard of Status Audio? I don’t blame you. The New York City-based company has been essentially operating under the radar ever since founder James Bertuzzi launched its first product, the wired CB-1 headphones, in 2016. Several wireless headphones followed, and Status eventually created two wireless earbuds, the Between Pro ($169) in 2021 and Between 3ANC ($249) in 2023. They were both well received and proved popular with buyers, perhaps helped by their quirky yet super-comfy square shape

Samsung calls iPhone 17 keynote a ‘Zzz-note,’ forgets Galaxy S25 series exists

TL;DR Samsung has criticized Apple’s iPhone 17 series launch as a “Zzz-note.” The company made the comments as part of a competition announcement on Twitter. This comes despite Samsung’s own Galaxy S25 phones being conservative upgrades. Apple announced the iPhone 17 series this week, and there are a few reasons to be excited about these devices. All models have a nifty square selfie camera, there’s a super-slim iPhone Air (if you care about a slim and light design), and Pro models get a 48MP
