Exclusive to Prime members, it offers some of the best Amazon deals of the year, but looming price hikes due to tariffs could leave you wondering how much of a savings you can expect.

Waymo kicked off two “road trips” to Philadelphia and New York City on Monday, signaling the Alphabet-owned company’s interest in expanding into Northeastern cities. Waymo’s branded “road trips” don’t necessarily signal a commercial launch anytime soon. Waymo has announced several other road trips this year, including to Houston, Orlando, Las Vegas, San Diego, and San Antonio.

Why don't we trust technology in sport?

For a few minutes on Sunday afternoon, Wimbledon's Centre Court became the perfect encapsulation of the current tensions between humans and machines. When Britain's Sonay Kartal hit a backhand long on a crucial point, her opponent Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova knew it had landed out. She said the umpire did too. Television replays proved it. But the electronic line-calling system - which means humans have been fully replaced this year following earlier trials - remained silent. Minutes ticked by.

Today, Apple appeared before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in an effort to overturn a ruling that blocked U.S. sales of Apple Watches with blood-oxygen sensors back in late 2023. Here’s how it went. A quick refresher The legal dispute between Apple and Masimo began in 2021, when the medical technology company accused Apple of infringing several of its patents related to blood-oxygen sensing.

But one skeleton was that of a child, between the age of 3 and 5 years old whose features seemed to show a mix of early human and Neanderthal characteristics.
