cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-07 06:33:03

Apple unveiled the iPhone 17 at its "awe dropping" event along with the super skinny iPhone Air and the powerful iPhone 17 Pro/17 Pro Max. You may be wondering whether to get the new shiny standard iPhone 17 or buy last year's iPhone 16 which is $100 less. To help with that decision, here's a breakdown of how the two handsets compare. The iPhone 17 starts at $829 (or $799 if you activate with a carrier), the same as the iPhone 16 when it came out -- with the caveat that the iPhone 17 starts wit

In his first NFL start, J.J. McCarthy led the Vikings to a furious fourth-quarter comeback, throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for a third to beat the Bears in Chicago. Now, McCarthy gets his first home start in primetime against the Falcons. The Falcons dropped their opener last week, but second-year QB Michael Penix Jr. looked good in defeat, passing for nearly 300 yards and a touchdown while also running in another, all without turning the ball over.

Indoor plant care is always tricky. While it's all fine and dandy to take care of them when the summer sun is shining, keeping your plants alive in winter can feel like a whole ’nother story. Being a houseplant enthusiast is akin to having several silent children, all with finicky needs and limited ways of communicating them.

OpenAI board chair Bret Taylor says we’re in an AI bubble (but that’s okay)

In Brief Bret Taylor, board chair at OpenAI and CEO of AI agent startup Sierra, was asked in a recent interview with The Verge whether he agreed with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s declaration that “someone is going to lose a phenomenal amount of money in AI.” Taylor echoed Altman’s sentiments, suggesting that we are indeed in an AI bubble — but like Altman, he didn’t sound too worried about it. “I think it is both true that AI will transform the economy, and I think it will, like the internet, crea

But the wonders of the internet has brought an entire economy built on outrage and conspiracy theories, enabling even the most crackpot grifters and fringe scientists to reach a wide audience and easily make a quick buck.

In a hilarious counter to a fan's AI-generated image of actor Brandon Sklenar dressed as the DC Comics' Batman, DC Studios filmmaker and "Superman" director James Gunn quipped in a Threads post that "it would be weird to cast an AI Batman with a 14 inch arm."
