Scarlet turns Shakespeare into an animated fantasy epic

Well, I was wrong, and I did manage to make it to one last day at the Toronto International Film Festival. One of the movies I wanted to see the most this year was Scarlet, the latest from Mamoru Hosoda, whose most recent film was the metaverse fairy tale Belle. Whereas that film was a reimagining of Beauty and the Beast, Scarlet is a twist on Hamlet that’s full of bold, creative ideas. I mostly enjoyed it, but unfortunately it’s saddled with an ending that doesn’t really fit. I also managed to

I compared the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max: Here's who should upgrade

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Apple's iPhone 17 lineup has officially arrived, bringing four new devices to the table. As expected, the series consists of upgrades to past models such as the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. But this generation is shaking things up by introducing the iPhone Air -- a new addition that Apple says is "the thinnest iPhone ever made." And for the first time in several generations, there will not be a "Plus" model. Also: Apple iPhone 17 event recap: iPhone Air pr

Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis

Medical procedure for the eye Medical intervention Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP), also known as "tooth in eye" surgery,[1] is a medical procedure to restore vision in the most severe cases of corneal and ocular surface patients. It includes removal of a tooth from the patient or a donor.[2] After removal, a longitudinal lamina is cut from the tooth and a hole is drilled perpendicular to the lamina. The hole is then fitted with a cylindrical lens. The lamina is grown in the patients' ch

Missed Apple's iPhone 17 Event? Here's a Quick Recap of Every New Announcement

The most recent "awe dropping" Apple event keynote has come and gone once more, with reveals of the latest iPhones, AirPods and Apple Watches. As it turns out, many of the leaks and rumors that widely circulated before the event turned out to be fairly accurate, though there were still a good amount of surprises. We were treated to a presentation that included new information about the AirPods Pro 3, three new Apple Watches (including an Apple Watch SE and an Apple Watch Ultra), the iPhone 17,

iPhone 17 vs iPhone 15 Pro: What’s more worthwhile?

Apple recently announced its latest iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and iPhone Air models – and as we’ve seen, the base iPhone 17 gained a plethora of upgrades that have made it quite a compelling package. That begs the question, does a 2 year old ‘Pro’ iPhone still have a leg up, or should you just go with the new base model iPhone 17? Displays iPhone 17 gains ProMotion for the first time, something that you previously had to buy an iPhone Pro for. On top of that, it isn’t a compromised ProMotion display

For the first time, iPhone 17 Pro truly feels deserving of the ‘Pro’ moniker

Apple introduced the Pro moniker for iPhones six years ago with the iPhone 11 lineup. However, with the iPhone 17 lineup in particular – it feels like Apple truly developed a professional iPhone for the first time. I’ll explain. ‘Pro’ is no longer just flashy First things first, this year’s iPhone 17 Pro is no longer the flashy model, unlike previous Pro iPhones. With this years switch from Titanium to Aluminum, the iPhone 17 Pro simply uses the same material as the standard iPhone 17 model.

AirPods Pro 3 have a special new ability from an upcoming Apple product

Earlier this week, Apple introduced a new version of its most popular wireless earbuds: AirPods Pro 3. While you’ve likely heard of its headlining features like the heart rate monitor and 2x the noise cancellation, there’s another interesting feature beneath the surface. With AirPods Pro 2, Apple introduced a long-requested feature: the ability to track the case location on Find My. Prior to these AirPods, if your AirPods weren’t in the case – you couldn’t find them. Now, you can, thanks to App

Visual programming is stuck on the form

Underlying great creations that you love—be it music, art, or technology—its form (what it looks like) is driven by an underpinning internal logic (how it works). I noticed this pattern while watching a talk on cellular automaton and realized it's "form follows function" paraphrased from a slightly different angle. Inventing a form is a hard task, so you must approach it obliquely—by first illuminating the underlying function. This made me realize something crucial about visual programming: it’

PSA: You’ll need a new charger to take advantage of iPhone 17 Pro’s fast charging

With the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, Apple announced that they’ll be capable of charging even faster than previous iPhone models: up to 50% in just 20 minutes. While that is true, it’s thanks to a brand new USB-PD specification, which isn’t widely available on the market yet. In short, you’ll need to buy Apple’s new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter if you want to charge your iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro Max as quickly as possible, at least for now. This is because Apple’s charging brick is

iPhone 17 Pro Max vs. Google Pixel 10 Pro XL: I compared both and here's the winner

Jason Hiner and Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. It feels like yesterday when I sat in a Brooklyn warehouse to watch Jimmy Fallon introduce the Google Pixel 10 series to the world. Since then, Apple has joined the fray with the new iPhone 17, and now I've got a few too many new handsets on my mind.

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Apple's long-awaited iPhone 17 lineup has arrived, and as speculated, it replaces the Plus model with an iPhone 17 Air. However, the focus remains on the more expensive Pro series. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max now offer better thermals to keep the device cool, an aluminum build for more funky colors, and a few other essential quality-of-life improvements.

Java 25's new CPU-Time Profiler

This is the first part of my series; the other parts are Back to the blog post: More than three years in the making, with a concerted effort starting last year, my CPU-time profiler landed in Java with OpenJDK 25.

Safe C++ proposal is not being continued

One year ago, the Safe C++ proposal was made. The goal was to add a safe subset/context into C++ that would give strong guarantees (memory safety, type safety, thread safety) similar to what Rust provides, without breaking existing C++ code. It was an extension or superset of C++. The opt-in mechanism was to explicitly mark parts of the code that belong to the safe context. The authors even state: Code in the safe context exhibits the same strong safety guarantees as code written in Rust. The

My art skills peaked in kindergarten but my portable projector had me covered

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority To set the stage, my artistic ability falls somewhere between a toddler with a crayon and the least helpful player on your Pictionary team. So when faced with the prospect of hand-painting a birthday banner, I was dubious, though still committed. Like any modern adult, I turned to tech, and while projectors may not have been designed for amateur crafters, they’re surprisingly perfect for the job.

AirPods Pro 3 will be available in under a week, but don’t rush into buying them

On Tuesday, Apple held its ‘Awe dropping’ September event – where it announced new iPhone and Apple Watch models, as per usual. It also dropped a new pair of AirPods Pro 3 – which do look quite exciting. That said, if you are going to buy them – you should make sure you’re buying them for the right reasons. Let’s explain. Live Translation One of the headlining features with AirPods Pro 3 – its live translation feature, isn’t actually exclusive. In fact, it’ll work with a couple pairs of older

Trump Clears the Way for a Dystopian Air Taxi Future

Donald Trump, who was backed by a bunch of tech billionaires during this past presidential election, is busy transforming America into a corporate dystopia straight out of the 1980s science fiction films that those billionaires have long admired for all the wrong reasons. For one thing, Trump has fully embraced AI—helping to cut what little regulation existed under the Biden administration, in an effort to further liberate the already blossoming and disruptive new industry. He also recently pave

AI Coding

In my old age I’ve mostly given up trying to convince anyone of anything. Most people do not care to find the truth, they care about what pumps their bags. Some people go as far as to believe that perception is reality and that truth is a construction. I hope there’s a special place in hell for those people. It’s why the world wasted $10B+ on self driving car companies that obviously made no sense. There’s a much bigger market for truths that pump bags vs truths that don’t. So here’s your new

All the 'Awe Dropping' Announcements You Missed at Apple's Event

Each September, Apple's product release playbook dials up the unveiling of the company's newest line of iPhones, along with a variety of complementary gadgets. On Tuesday, the company took the wraps off the iPhone 17 in all its variations, most notably the new skinny iPhone Air, along with new Apple Watches -- Series 11 and Ultra 3 -- and an upgrade to its 2-year-old AirPods Pro 2 earbuds. Along with the hardware, Apple is rolling out the new versions of the devices' respective operating system

Apple Debuts Newest Lineup of iPhones: Expect Premium Prices

Apple's iPhones have never been cheap. On Tuesday, the prices for the new iPhone 17 lineup were revealed at Apple's fall iPhone event, held at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, and... well, in a year of tariffs and other economic turmoil, they could be worse. CNET Senior Editor James Bricknell wasn't surprised by the iPhone prices. "Given the tariffs and all the other stuff that's happened in the past year, the prices are good," he said. "They match what you would expect in terms of inflati

The Free Ride for EVs in the Carpool Lane Is Coming to an End

A rough year for electric vehicle adoption just got a little rougher for owners in some parts of the US. Starting next month, EVs will no longer be able to ride in the fast lane in California, after the US federal government and Congress failed to reauthorize a popular program that has given hybrid and electric vehicles access to state carpool lanes—and worked to promote the sale of electrics for more than 25 years. Under the program, California drivers with qualifying electric, plug-in hybrid,

I tried Apple's 2 big AI features announced at the iPhone 17 event - and both are game changers

Jason Hiner/ZDNET While we didn't hear much about Siri or Apple Intelligence during the 2025 Apple Event that launched new iPhones, AirPods, and Apple Watches, there were two huge AI features announced that have largely slipped under the radar. That's mostly because they were presented as great new features and didn't use overhyped AI marketing language. Nevertheless, I got to demo both features at Apple Park on Tuesday and my first impression was that both of them are nearly fully baked and r

Proton Mail suspended journalist accounts at request of cybersecurity agency

The company behind the Proton Mail email service, Proton, describes itself as a “neutral and safe haven for your personal data, committed to defending your freedom.” But last month, Proton disabled email accounts belonging to journalists reporting on security breaches of various South Korean government computer systems following a complaint by an unspecified cybersecurity agency. After a public outcry, and multiple weeks, the journalists’ accounts were eventually reinstated — but the reporters

OpenAI announces new mentorship program for budding tech founders

OpenAI on Friday introduced a new program, dubbed the "OpenAI Grove," for early tech entrepreneurs looking to build with artificial intelligence, and applications are already open. Unlike OpenAI's Pioneer Program, which launched in April, Grove is aimed towards individuals at the very nascent phases of their company development, from the pre-idea to pre-seed stage. For five weeks, participants will receive mentoring from OpenAI technical leaders, early access to new tools and models, and in-pe
