AI Is a Lousy Chef

After my sage plant struggled for years in a shadowy corner of my roof-deck planter garden, I moved it into the sunniest spot up there. Boy did that make a difference. It also meant I needed to figure out what to do with all the leaves it produced. As luck would have it, I was also trying out AI cooking platforms. That night, I plugged the prompt “recipe using brats and lots of sage” into an AI recipe generator and it gave me what it called “sage infused brats skillet with caramelized onions.”

COO exit creates unanswered questions about Apple Watch and Health future

Apple made an interesting omission in yesterday’s chief operating officer transition announcement. Design, which previously reported to COO Jeff Williams, will soon report to CEO Tim Cook, but the press release stopped short of explaining where Williams’ other product responsibility will go when he leaves. What happens to Apple Watch and Health after the COO transition? Operations veteran Sabih Khan will take over as COO later this month, but Jeff Williams will hang around the company throug

Tim Cook has a new deputy but Apple’s next CEO is probably still someone else

Jeff Williams, often considered Tim Cook’s successor, is leaving Apple. Sabih Khan, a 30-year veteran of the company, is Apple’s next chief operating officer. Does Khan taking Cook’s old job make him CEO-designate? Jeff Williams retiring certainly clears the path for Khan to climb up the succession planning ladder. However, I would wager that Apple’s CEO succession plan isn’t changing. Jeff Williams retires and Sabih Khan steps up Jeff Williams, who has been called Tim Cook’s Tim Cook, has alw

Apple COO Jeff Williams is retiring this year

Jeff Williams is stepping down from his post as chief operating officer at Apple, the company announced today. Sabih Khan, senior vice president of operations for the company, will take over the COO title later this month. Following Williams' retirement later this year, the design team that he had overseen will report directly to CEO Tim Cook. He also leads the teams for the Apple Watch and the company's Health initiatives, but no details have been shared yet about who will head up those section

Apple back in the White House’s crosshairs as Trump aide slams Tim Cook over China

On today’s “Squawk on the Street” on CNBC, White House Senior Counselor for trade and manufacturing Peter Navarro reignited criticism of Apple’s dependence on China, calling out CEO Tim Cook for what he described as years of delayed efforts to move iPhone production elsewhere. Here’s the full quote. ‘The longest running soap opera in Silicon Valley’ During a wide-ranging exchange on tariffs, the FED and Apple, CNBC’s Jim Cramer and Navarro discussed Tim Cook’s recent challenges in pleasing the

Everyone Is Yelling at Apple

Apple just cannot make anyone happy right now—and that’s not even taking into account the tepid response to its new “liquid glass” design principles. Its stores have become the latest target of climate activists looking to hold corporations for their role in the ongoing climate crisis, while it’s also getting hammered by the Trump administration for its failure to quit China cold turkey. The first hit of the recent barrage of blows that Apple has taken came over the weekend when protesters with

"I mean it's the longest-running soap opera in Silicon Valley." CNBC has reached out to Apple for comment on Nava

Using an electric stove can take longer than you'd like, making a gas range the preferred choice -- not to mention they usually heat your pots and pans more evenly, too. And with
