Last Chance Prime Day Deal: The M4 Mac Mini Is the Best Value I've Found From Apple and Now It's $100 Off

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-08-08 14:39:00

I bought the M4 Mac Mini last month after reading CNET laptop expert Joshua Goldman's review of the tiny machine. I was looking for a computer that would increase my productivity and better organize my workflow. During four weeks of use, I've found it to be the best value for money among Apple's lineup. For less than $600, you can get a more powerful computer than the $999 MacBook Air. Even better, it's now selling for $100 off for Amazon Prime Day. As a result, you can buy an M4 Mac Mini for a

The smartphone-sized Boox Palma 2 is cheaper than ever for Prime Day

theverge.com Brandt Ranj 2025-08-08 15:00:00

The Boox Palma 2 looks like a smartphone, and it even runs Android 13. But it’s meant to be used primarily as a pocket-friendly e-reader with an ePaper screen, one that’s much easier to hold in one hand than a Kindle or Kobo. Some of us at The Verge have a Palma, and you can see what all the fuss is about, too, for an all-time low of $269.99 ($30 off) at Amazon and Boox during Prime Day. Be mindful that Prime Day ends today, so time is running out to grab this deal. Verge editor-at-large David

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-08 18:28:32

The scientific community was appalled by the news that president Donald Trump's administration was looking to deal a devastating blow to NASA's science budget. In its 2026 budget request, released last month, the White House announced it was looking to more cut funding for NASA's science directorate by more than half, leading to overwhelming criticism from the scientific community, as well as from both Republican and Democrat lawmakers.

Walking every street in New York City

Today I walked my final blocks of Staten Island, the only borough I had left to complete. I was quite surprised to find the sign below waiting for me at the finish line, 4300 Amboy Road, which was the randomly selected point where I started the walk back on the last day of 2011. After spending 12+ years reading every dinky little plaque or marker I found across the city, I became genuinely emotional when I saw my own name on one of them.

As AI agents move from research demos to mission-critical applications, researchers and practitioners are building benchmarks to evaluate their capabilities and limitations. These AI agent benchmarks are significantly more complex than traditional AI benchmarks in task formulation (e.g., often requiring a simulator of realistic scenarios) and evaluation (e.g., no

Meta’s Obsession With AI Will Make Smart Glasses Finally Click

Meta made some pretty major moves in AI this week, and some of them were supremely expensive. According to Bloomberg, Meta spent a whopping $200 million trying to poach just one person from Apple (Ruoming Pang, the former lead in charge of developing the large language models behind Apple Intelligence), and that’s just one person it scooped up in its flurry of AI talent acquisitions—there are several others from OpenAI that also jumped ship just this week.
