Running Gear Guide: Keep Training Through the Worst of Winter

cnet.com Bree Fowler 2025-06-05 10:00:00

I'm not going to lie. Bitterly cold temperatures and windchills, not to mention snow and ice, have made it tough to get out for my scheduled runs recently. Don't get me wrong. Winter training in New York City is always hard and this isn't my first rodeo, but I don't remember it being this cold when I trained for the Boston Marathon last winter. Regardless, the TCS London Marathon is about two months away and my training for it is about to kick into high gear. Having friends to run with a coupl

The Next iPad Needs an iPhone 16E Moment. But Will Its Cost Go Up, Too?

cnet.com Scott Stein 2025-06-05 10:00:00

Apple gave us a February surprise this year, launching a new entry-level iPhone ahead of schedule. The iPhone 16E is full of most of the things people want in an iPhone, plus hosts many features of the iPhone 16. But, while it's entry-level, it's not low-cost. As I wait for a new iPad to replace Apple's 10th-gen iPad base model, likely coming in the next month or so, I'm encouraged and concerned that Apple will follow a similar path as the 16E. Actually, it seems inevitable. But maybe I'm wrong.

Nissan’s latest desperate gamble—see if Tesla will buy the company

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-06-05 12:10:00

Senior politicians in Japan are not going to let Nissan die easily. The automaker has been struggling for some time now, with an outdated product portfolio, ongoing quarterly losses, and soon, the closure of factories and thousands of layoffs. The Japanese government has been trying to find a suitor and had hoped that Honda would do its patriotic duty and save its rival from extinction. That deal—one branded "a desperate move" by former Nissan CEO and fugitive from Japanese justice Carlos Ghosn

SpaceX CEO and unelected White House advisor Elon Musk unexpectedly said today that he wants the International Space Station destroyed "as soon as possible." In a tweet today, the mercurial entrepreneur asserted that it's "time to begin preparations for deorbiting the space station," arguing that "it has served its purpose," with "very little incremental utility." Instead, Musk argued, the station should be destroyed within two years — but left the final decision "up to the President." It's a

NASA Makes Big Update to Asteroid Potentially on Collision Course With Earth in 2032

The potentially hazardous asteroid 2024 YR4 caused consternation over the last few weeks as its odds of hitting Earth in 2032 dramatically rose. Now, those odds have plummeted to near-zero, as astronomers’ calculations of the asteroid’s path have been updated to indicate that Earth is almost certainly not in the space rock’s plans. Almost. According to NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the asteroid’s current chance of hitting the planet in 2032 is 0.28%, or a 1-in-360 shot. T
