The Fed's interest rate decisions impact mortgages, but the relationship isn't straightforward. Tharon Green/CNET On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve is expected to extend a pause on interest rate cuts for a fourth consecutive time this year. Though mortgage rates could see some volatility, many economists expect them to stay somewhat flat until the economic picture drastically changes. Rates will stay in the 6.75% to 7.25% range unless the Fed signals multiple cuts soon and backs it up with dat

It's been almost three years since Apple updated its AirPods Pro, and all signs point to a new version releasing sometime in 2025. Last year was a bit of a mixed bag: Apple introduced the all-new AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Canceling, but only gave its AirPods Max a light refresh with USB-C charging and new colors. This year, as companies navigate the impacts of the Trump tariffs, the Cupertino company could throw another curveball. Here are the latest AirPods Pro 3 rumors and what

Professional chefs understand the value of kitchen real estate like New Yorkers understand rent -- every square inch better be pulling its weight. Walk through the swinging doors of most restaurant kitchens and you won't likely spot an avocado slicer or dedicated egg cooker lying around. Nope, every tool has a job, and if it doesn't earn its keep, it's out the door faster than last week's unsold seafood.

David Attenborough at 99: 'I will not see how the story ends'

My earliest memory of the ocean is of a tropical lagoon. Ammonites rose and fell in the warm water column, occasionally propelling themselves forwards, their curled ram’s horn shells surprisingly streamlined in the water. This tropical lagoon was in fact in my imagination, fired as I explored the old limestone quarry near my childhood home in Leicester, some 60 miles from the coast. For a small boy in the 1930s this was a marvellous place for adventures, and the knowledge that millions of year
