YouTube’s mobile video editor is coming to iOS

Google is preparing to bring YouTube Create to iOS devices nearly two years after the video editing app launched exclusively on Android. Job listings reviewed by TechCrunch reveal the company is actively hiring engineers in India for the iOS development project. The job postings show Google is recruiting software engineers in Bengaluru specifically to build the iOS version. The original Android app debuted in the U.S. and seven other markets in September 2023, then expanded to 13 more markets b

As job losses loom, Anthropic launches program to track AI’s economic fallout

Silicon Valley has opined on the promise of generative AI to forge new career paths and economic opportunities – like the newly coveted solo unicorn startup. Banks and analysts have touted AI’s potential to boost GDP. But those gains are unlikely to be distributed equally in the face of what many expect to be widespread AI-related job loss. Amid this backdrop, Anthropic on Friday launched its Economic Futures Program, a new initiative to support research on AI’s impacts on the labor market and

YouTube adds more AI, but not everyone's happy about it

The big picture: Is YouTube becoming harder to navigate as the platform increasingly embraces AI-generated "slop"? As many users start to ask that question, the Alphabet-owned company is doubling down, introducing even more AI-powered features aimed at enhancing search and enabling conversational interactions. Google recently confirmed that two new AI features are coming to YouTube. The company says the updates are aimed at helping users find what they're looking for more quickly and efficientl

MacBook Air Diary: iPadOS improvements haven’t tempted me back

I wrote a year ago that I hardly use an iPad any more. With one small exception, that remains the case – but iPadOS 26 did have me revisit the question. That’s because this transforms the device so much that, for the first time, I considered it impossible to argue that the iPad isn’t now a (proper) computer … Why I (almost) stopped using my iPads I said there were five reasons, four of which were that Apple Silicon MacBooks effectively closed the gap between the two device types, and for me t

Apple shells out US$350M to acquire yet another office campus it was already leasing

It’s been a good week for Apple’s real estate team. Just days after finalizing a $166.9 million deal for the Cupertino Gate office complex, the company has closed another major acquisition, pushing its South Bay real estate tab to over half a billion dollars in a single week. US$516 million in South Bay acquisitions As reported by SilliconValley.com (via AppleInsider), Apple has just closed a $350 million deal to purchase Mathilda Commons, a two-building 382,500 square feet office campus in Su

I recommend this Asus laptop to creative professionals and business users alike. Here's why

ZDNET's key takeaways The Asus ProArt P16 is available now, starting at $1,900. It pairs powerful hardware with a suite of customizable options designed for creatives. The deep personalization requires engagement from the user, the huge trackpad won't be everyone's cup of tea, and the ultra-glossy display tends to glare. $1,899.99 at Best Buy Asus' ProArt series consists of sleek laptops with high-end hardware for creatives. At the top of the line is the new AMD-powered ProArt P16, which exud

Slightly better named character reference tokenization than Chrome, Safari, FF

Slightly better named character reference tokenization than Chrome, Safari, and Firefox 2025-06-26 Note: I am not a 'browser engine' person, nor a 'data structures' person. I'm certain that an even better implementation than what I came up with is very possible. A while back, for no real reason, I tried writing an implementation of a data structure tailored to the specific use case of the Named character reference state of HTML tokenization (here's the link to that experiment). Recently, I to

Google’s carbon emissions just went up again

Google’s carbon emissions jumped yet again as the company continues to push ahead in AI. The company’s 2025 sustainability report emphasizes that its “ambition-based emissions” grew 11 percent last year to reach 11.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide pollution, marking a 51 percent increase compared to 2019. That puts Google farther away from its goal of slashing planet-heating pollution in half by 2030 compared to a 2019 baseline. But what it calls “ambition-based” emissions excludes certa

Eufy’s Omni C20 mopping robovac is $300 off for a limited time

After a long week, the last thing I want to do is clean my floors (they’re seriously overdue for a cleaning). Busting out the vacuum and mopping can be tiring. That’s why I’m a big fan of robot vacuums, especially ones with built-in mops that can handle all the cleaning on their own. Speaking of, you can pick up the Eufy Robot Vacuum Omni C20 at Amazon and Eufy for $399.98 ($300 off), matching its all-time low. This deal may be around for just a matter of hours. The Omni C20 is one of Eufy’s ne

Runway is going to let people generate video games with AI

So far, Runway is known for bringing generative AI to Hollywood. Now, the $3 billion startup is setting its sights on the gaming industry. This week, I was granted access to a new interactive gaming experience that Runway plans to make available to everyone as soon as next week, according to CEO Cristóbal Valenzuela. The consumer-facing product is currently quite barebones, with a chat interface that supports only text and image generation, but Valenzuela says that generated video games are com

Coinbase is the best performing stock in the S&P 500 in June, and may have even more room to run

People watch as the logo for Coinbase, the biggest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, is displayed on the Nasdaq MarketSite jumbotron at Times Square in New York on April 14, 2021. Coinbase is the top performer in the S&P 500 in June, boosted by positive regulatory updates, product launches and, of course, its very inclusion in the benchmark stock index at the end of May. The crypto exchange's outperformance in the S&P 500 extends back to the April 8 market low, just after President Donald Trump's

While Tesla's Robotaxi Program Crumbles, Its Sales Are Falling Apart

Tesla's sales in Europe have officially plummeted for the fifth month in a row in May, delivering a staggering blow to its investors. Per ABC, Tesla's automotive sales dropped a further 28 percent last month across 30 European countries, despite a booming demand for EVs from other manufacturers. As Elon Musk's pet company falters, other companies are making out bigtime. For example, China's SAIC sold over 18,000 vehicles across Europe in May, while Tesla didn't even break 9,000, according to A

James Wan Offers a Mildly Discouraging Update on That ‘Train to Busan’ Remake

Released in 2016, Yeon Sang-ho‘s Train to Busan proved there were still plenty of fresh thrills to be mined from the zombie genre. It spawned an animated prequel and a sequel, and nobody was surprised when an American remake, to be titled The Last Train to New York, was announced. A 2023 release date made things official… almost. Obviously, The Last Train to New York—which at one point had Timo Tjahjanto (May the Devil Take You, this year’s Nobody 2) attached to direct and Gary Dauberman (It an

Trump Kills Trade Talks With Canada After It Hits U.S. With Digital Services Tax

President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he is terminating all trade talks with Canada after the country decided to move forward with a digital services tax on U.S. tech companies like Meta. The president, who also mentioned high dairy tariffs, called Canada “a very difficult Country to TRADE with,” in a Truth Social post. Trump characterized the digital services tax as a “direct and blatant attack on our Country.” The new Canadian measure imposes a 3% tax on digital services revenue mad

Substack Is Having a Moment—Again. But Time Is Running Out

Before June 8, the skilled and respected ABC News television journalist Terry Moran was neither a household name nor political lightning rod. That changed abruptly when Moran posted on X that Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller was “a world-class hater,” followed by an addendum that the president was a hater as well. (The post was later taken down.) While the statements were certainly defendable, they apparently violated ABC policy, and Moran was suspended, then dismissed. Moran,

Transmitting data via ultrasound without any special equipment

There are secret messages flying all around you all the time, being transmitted via, most of the time, electromagnetic waves going from antenna to antenna. ELOs “Secret Messages” is a song about posting conspiracy theories via WiFi.

DOGE Gets the Green Light to Slash Gun Regulations at ATF

Elon Musk may be out of the picture, but the Department of Government Efficiency is still around and being deployed to terrorize the public servants at agencies across the federal government. The latest target: the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, where DOGE will be tasked with slashing gun restrictions, according to the Washington Post. DOGE staff (those who are left, at least, seeing as high-profile figures like Big Balls have tapped out of the operation) are reportedly be
