futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-01 10:26:50

Bomb Squad President Donald Trump is trying to derail Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions by bombing its known nuclear research facilities — but it turns out that's easier said than done. US officials have trumpeted that the recent strikes obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment sites, but satellite images have cast doubt on that claim. And in any case, Trump's bombing camp

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-01 20:27:12

As OpenAI fights a trademark lawsuit over its now-scrubbed “io” brand, new public court filings are giving us the most detailed glimpse yet into what Sam Altman and Jony Ive’s hardware team have been up to behind the scenes. ‘Not an in-ear device, nor a wearable device’ As reported by The Verge and Bloomberg yesterday, the legal battle stems from a case brought by iyO, a Google-backed startup that argues the “io” branding from OpenAI’s newly formed io Products, Inc., is too close for comfort.
