As SFGate reports, a young Tesla driver walked away with minor injuries after his Model Y careened off the I-5 interstate and crashed directly into a guardrail in the wee hours of morning, becoming impaled all the way through.

This iOS 26 strategy shift could make the next year Apple’s most surprising yet

With iOS 26, Apple has made a key strategy shift: it’s no longer pre-announcing major new features that won’t be available for months to come. Here’s why I think that’s a great decision by Apple, and why it could make for an exciting 12 months. The iOS 26 strategy shift Apple’s change in strategy was clearly driven by what happened at WWDC 2024 and during the subsequent iOS 18 cycle. The company pre-announced major new features for Siri, but failed to actually deliver those features. But iOS

Called "The things we’ll never know," the event was meant to highlight the work of researchers whose grants had been canceled by the Trump administrat

AI-powered coding tools like Cursor, Replit, Claude Code, and Lovable are helping developers write many lines of code every day to ship products faster.
