This Mom Is Getting Back Into Running Shape With a Jogging Stroller, Fitness Apps and Tech

As an active mom, I enjoy doing a variety of activities to stay fit. I lift weights to get stronger (carrying a toddler around challenges your overall strength), go for walks to clear my mind, run to get my heart rate up and take a fitness class here and there. Before having my son, I completed my first marathon, several half-marathons and shorter races in between. But running took a backseat after my second trimester because I was advised not to do activity in the summer heat while heavily pre

“Yikes”: Internal emails reveal Ticketmaster helped scalpers jack up prices

The Federal Trade Commission sued Live Nation and Ticketmaster on Thursday, alleging that the companies tacitly worked with scalpers to profit from jacking up ticket prices on the secondary market. As the FTC alleged in a press release, Ticketmaster's years of turning a blind eye to scalpers violated the FTC Act and the Better Online Ticket Sales Act, costing customers "billions in inflated prices and additional fees." Further, artists' efforts to keep event costs low were repeatedly frustrated

Your very own humane interface: Try Jef Raskin’s ideas at home

In our earlier article about Macintosh project creator Jef Raskin, we looked at his quest for the humane computer, one that was efficient, consistent, useful, and above all else, respectful and adaptable to the natural frailties of humans. From Raskin's early work on the Apple Macintosh to the Canon Cat and later his unique software implementations, you were guaranteed an interface you could sit down and interact with nearly instantly and—once you'd learned some basic keystrokes and rules—one yo

The 9 Best Grills of 2025

Frequently Asked Questions What Should You Look for in a Grill? AccordionItemContainerButton LargeChevron Take a trip to your local big-box home improvement store and you'll see dozens of grill models not mentioned here. Are they any good? Most of them are probably fine, but we suggest sticking with brands you recognize. The nice thing about shopping in person is you can get a better sense of the grill's sturdiness. Give it a good shake, and make sure it seems well put together. If it's a brand

Meta CTO explains why the smart glasses demos failed at Meta Connect — and it wasn’t the Wi-Fi

Meta chief technology officer Andrew Bosworth took to his Instagram to explain, in more technical detail, why multiple demos of Meta’s new smart glasses technology failed at Meta Connect, the company’s developer conference, this week. Meta on Wednesday introduced three new pairs of smart glasses, including an upgraded version of its existing Ray-Ban Meta, a new Meta Ray-Ban Display that comes with a wristband controller, and the sports-focused Oakley Meta Vanguard. However, at different points

Dark Smoke Billows After Horrific Collision Between Flying Cars

Ouch. Two flying cars collided with each other during an airshow rehearsal in Changchun, a city in northeastern China. Videos on social media show emergency response vehicles at the scene as a big plume of dark smoke billows from one of the wrecks. Fortunately, it doesn't sound like anybody involved in the crash between the two electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, developed by the Xpeng AeroHT subsidiary of EV giant Xpeng, was seriously hurt. However, one unnamed company

CMF offers sneak peek of its first-ever over-ear headphones

TL;DR CMF is teasing a new pair of headphones called the “Headphone Pro.” It appears the device will be customizable, but it’s unclear how far this customization will go. The headphones will launch on September 29. Nothing released its first pair of headphones earlier this year, called the “Headphone 1.” Now the company’s sub-brand, CMF, is about to launch a pair of headphones as well. Through a couple of teasers, we now have our first look at the device. Don’t want to miss the best from And

Next year’s MacBook Pro sounds like the huge upgrade I’ve been waiting for

Apple’s last MacBook Pro redesign was in 2021, and rumors indicate the next all-new design is coming in late 2026 with touch support and a whole lot more. Here’s why I’m more excited than ever for Apple’s forthcoming MacBook Pro upgrade. Two new MacBook Pros might launch in 2026, but the M6 model is the one I want Recent Apple news has understandably focused a lot on the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, AirPods Pro 3, and other brand new products.

CISA exposes malware kits deployed in Ivanti EPMM attacks

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has published an analysis of the malware deployed in attacks exploiting vulnerabilities affecting Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM).

Trevor Milton's Nikola Case Dropped by SEC Following Trump Pardon

The US Securities and Exchange Comission (SEC) has dropped its fraud case against Nikola‘s founder and former CEO Trevor Milton, after Trump’s pardon six months ago. Trevor Milton, who had been convicted of securities fraud, received a pardon from the US President Donald Trump in March, a month after the Phoenix-based electric and hydrogen truck maker Nikola filed for bankrupcy. The full and unconditional presidential pardon overturned a four-year prison sentence, imposed in December 2023, for

Slow Liquid

September 18, 2025 After updating to iOS 26, I will add my voice to the chorus of dismay: this thing makes my phone run like shit! I recognize that mine isn’t the latest and greatest, but it’s only four years old — an iPhone 13 mini — and the pre­vious iOS ran perfectly: snappy and practical. I hope Apple can (literally) smooth things out. I realize there’s always an under­cur­rent to these releases of “maybe you should get a new phone … ” but in this case the per­for­mance hit feels either (1

The EU Just Killed ARR

The EU Just Killed ARR Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) has been the backbone of SaaS for two decades. It gave investors predictable growth curves. It gave founders leverage in fundraising. It let boards sleep at night. But ARR was never a really well defined metric. And now, it may be practically dead in Europe. With the EU Data Act (effective September 2025), every SaaS contract with an EU customer becomes a “cancel anytime” subscription. Customers can walk away with two months’ notice. No e

Trump’s Golden Dome Projected to Cost Exponentially More Than the Manhattan Project

Donald Trump has many grand plans for America, one of the more ambitious of which is to create a giant invisible space shield that theoretically protects the country from rockets. In January, Trump announced, via executive order, the creation of a “Golden Dome,” designed to protect Americans from the “threat of attack by ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial attacks.” The project, Trump said, would use a network of satellites to detect and repel aerial attacks on

The Eagles Come Home to Roost in the Most Screwball ‘Peacemaker’ Yet

Peacemaker season two is trucking right along, picking up from its last episode’s big cliffhanger, suspending the situationship of Christopher Smith and Emilia Harcourt for an entire week before viewers can see how the chips will fall. Will Eagly make it out okay? Does bird blindness have a cure? Will the shoe ever drop on the long-held fan theory that Chris’ “best dimension ever” is actually a Nazi dimension? Seeing as how writer-director James Gunn has kept mum about every episode beyond this

Tropical Storm Gabrielle Breaks ‘Unprecedented’ Atlantic Storm Drought

An exceptionally long lull in Atlantic storm activity finally came to an end Wednesday as Tropical Storm Gabrielle took shape. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center expect this storm to strengthen into the second hurricane of the season by Sunday. Gabrielle’s emergence followed 20 days of no named storms in the Atlantic basin—a dry spell that WPLG-TV hurricane specialist Michael Lowry called “unprecedented” for the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season. As of Friday morning, Gabrielle ha

New iPhone 17 or Air on Your Radar? Get Ready for These Prices Today

As the newest iPhones hit the shelves today, the Apple faithful can count their blessings that they aren't paying more for the new phones. iPhones have never been cheap, but it was pretty clear when the prices for the new iPhone 17 lineup were revealed at Apple's fall iPhone event earlier this month that they could have gotten worse, considering the year of tariffs and other economic turmoil. CNET senior editor James Bricknell wasn't surprised by the iPhone prices. "Given the tariffs and all t

If iOS 26 is Draining Your iPhone's Battery, Apple Says It's Temporary

Apple released iOS 26 on Sept. 15, a few months after the company announced this year's iPhone software at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June. The update brings a lot of new features to your iPhone, like call screening, as well as a new Liquid Glass redesign. And Apple wrote online that if you download the update and notice your device's battery is draining faster than usual, that's normal and -- most important -- temporary. Some people notice their iPhone battery drains quickly after

If you own a Volvo EX90, you’re getting a free computer upgrade

If you own a 2025 Volvo EX90, here's some good news: you're getting a car computer upgrade. Even better news? It's free. The Swedish automaker says that owners of model year 2025 EX90s—like the one we tested earlier this summer—are eligible for an upgrade to the electric vehicle's core computer. Specifically, the cars will get a new dual Nvidia DRIVE AGX Orin setup, which Volvo says will improve performance and reduce battery drainage, as well as enabling some features that have been TBD so far

YouTube Thinks AI Is Its Next Big Bang

Google figured out early on that video would be a great addition to its search business, so in 2005 it launched Google Video. Focused on making deals with the entertainment industry for second-rate content, and overly cautious on what users could upload, it flopped. Meanwhile, a tiny startup run by a handful of employees working above a San Mateo, California, pizzeria was exploding, simply by letting anyone upload their goofy videos and not worrying too much about who held copyrights to the clip

ESPN and Fox One net one million signups in under two weeks

It feels like we’ve reached total saturation when it comes to streaming services, but apparently people are happy to sign up for one (or two) more services if they include live sports. According to Antenna, a firm that tracks the streaming industry, the new ESPN service and Fox One signed up about a million new subscribers in just 10 days. And that number doesn’t include those signing in through a cable subscription or coming over from an existing Disney+ sub. Antenna didn’t specify how many pe

Apple CEO Tim Cook says iPhone price hikes are not tied to tariffs

Apple CEO Tim Cook said price hikes on the newest iPhone models aren't tied to President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff plans. "There's no increase for tariffs in the prices to be totally clear," Cook told CNBC's Jim Cramer from Apple's Fifth Avenue store location in New York City, as the latest iPhone model launched in stores worldwide. It is one of the first instances in which Cook has decisively addressed tariffs in relation to iPhone prices. Earlier this month, Apple increased the price o

MIT Researchers Release Disturbing Paper About AI Boyfriends

How would you react if your mother admitted to you she was dating Aubrey "Drake" Graham, the rap superstar from Toronto? And that this new boyfriend wasn't the real flesh-and-blood Drake — oh no — but is instead the AI chatbot version of Champagne Papi. This is an actual situation that was relayed by the Drake-dating mother in question in a Reddit group with the self-explanatory name of r/MyBoyfriendIsAI, which is now the focus of a first-of-its-kind, large-scale study on human-AI companion int

The AI Bubble Bursting Would Actually Be Incredible for the Economy, Economist Says

The US economy is absolutely screaming. Late rent payments and loan delinquencies are skyrocketing, and the top 10 percent of earners account for nearly half of all consumer spending. In early September, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the nation added over 900,000 fewer jobs than previously thought from March 2024 to 2025. Yet, as bad as things might feel for common folk, financial markets have never looked better — the tech-dominated Nasdaq continues to reach record highs, and th
