Sonos gets to keep its CEO, as a treat

The company was then forced to delay two product launches in order to fix the botched software that its devices are so reliant on. And in the wake of the mess, the company’s then CEO Patrick Spence stepped down at the beginning of 2025. He was replaced by Tom Conrad on an interim basis, but after seemingly steadying what looked like a sinking ship, th

A year later, the Sonos Ace is finally fulfilling its potential

2024 was an awful year for Sonos. Its long-awaited entry into a crowded headphones market was eclipsed by a bungled app launch which had a knock-on effect that impacted everything the company had planned to do for the rest of the year.

And with that update, Sonos added a few more improvements to the Ace, including two-person TV Audio Swap, adaptive noise cancellat

Google is bringing its AI-powered photo-to-video capability to more apps

Google is adding new AI-powered features to Google Photos and YouTube Shorts that allow users to transform their photos into videos.
