Google is testing a smaller, more reachable Gemini overlay on tablets

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is rolling out a UI update for the Gemini app on Android tablets that shrinks the size of the overlay. The new overlay is about one-third the width of the screen instead of two-thirds and is anchored to the right side. This updated interface only applies to the standard Gemini experience and seems to be part of a slow server-side rollout. There are a lot of AI chatbots you can talk to these days, but I personally use Google Gemini on all my dev

An Algorithm for a Better Bookshelf

Drop in at a library, and you’ll likely notice that most shelves aren’t full—librarians leave some empty space on each shelf. That way, when they get new books, they can slot them into place without having to move too many other books. It’s a simple-enough idea, but one that arises in a host of settings in computer science that involve sorted data, such as an alphabetically ordered census repository, or a list of connections between members of a social network. In such situations, where the ent

Provider of covert surveillance app spills passwords for 62,000 users

The maker of a phone app that is advertised as providing a stealthy means for monitoring all activities on an Android device spilled email addresses, plain-text passwords, and other sensitive data belonging to 62,000 users, a researcher discovered recently. A security flaw in the app, branded Catwatchful, allowed researcher Eric Daigle to download a trove of sensitive data, which belonged to account holders who used the covert app to monitor phones. The leak, made possible by a SQL injection vu

Final GOP bill kneecaps renewables and hydrogen but lifts nuclear and geothermal

Republican legislators Thursday passed a reconciliation act that, among other things, unwinds much of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The bill, which passed 218-214 with two Republicans voting no, now awaits President Donald Trump’s signature. Trump is expected to sign it. Solar, wind, and clean hydrogen will all lose incentives under the new bill, while nuclear and geothermal see some IRA benefits preserved. The final bill is largely what emerged from the Senate Finance Committee in mid-Jun

New Research Debunks Myth That Brain Cells Stop Growing After Childhood

You’ve probably heard the old canard that new brain cells simply stop forming as we become adults. But research out today is the latest to show that this isn’t really true. Scientists in Sweden led the study, published Thursday in Science. They found abundant signs of neural stem cells growing in the hippocampus of adult brains. The findings reveal more about the human brain as we get older, the researchers say, and also hint at potential new ways to treat neurological disorders. “We’ve found

Google rolls out its new Veo 3 video-generation model globally

In Brief Google on Thursday said it has begun rolling out its Veo 3 video generation model to Gemini users in more than 159 countries. Video generation via the new model is available only to paying subscribers of Google’s AI Pro plan and is capped at three videos per day. Veo 3, which Google showed off in May, lets users generate videos up to eight seconds long using text prompts. Google’s Josh Woodward has said that the company is working on adding image-to-video generation capabilities to

Stalking the Statistically Improbable Restaurant with Data

Last summer, I wrote about the statistically improbable restaurant, the restaurant you wouldn’t expect to find in a small American city: the excellent Nepali food in Erie, PA and Akron, OH; a gem of a Gambian restaurant in Springfield, IL. Statistically improbable restaurants often tell you something about the communities they are based in: Erie and Akron have large Lhotshampa refugee populations, Nepali-speaking people who lived in Bhutan for years before being expelled from their county; Sprin

Meta’s “AI superintelligence” effort sounds just like its failed “metaverse”

In a memo to employees earlier this week, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared a vision for a near-future in which "personal [AI] superintelligence for everyone" forms "the beginning of a new era for humanity." The newly formed Meta Superintelligence Labs—freshly staffed with multiple high-level acquisitions from OpenAI and other AI companies—will spearhead the development of "our next generation of models to get to the frontier in the next year or so," Zuckerberg wrote. Reading that memo, I couldn'

Big Tech’s Mixed Response to U.S. Treasury Sanctions

In May 2025, the U.S. government sanctioned a Chinese national for operating a cloud provider linked to the majority of virtual currency investment scam websites reported to the FBI. But a new report finds the accused continues to operate a slew of established accounts at American tech companies — including Facebook, Github, PayPal and Twitter/X. On May 29, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced economic sanctions against Funnull Technology Inc., a Philippines-based company alleged to pr

A Samsung Tri-Fold Phone Could Be in Your Future, if This Leak Is to Be Believed

Samsung has been showing off mobile display concepts with three screens at trade events such as CES for several years, but it might finally bring one to market soon if a leaked UI animation is any indicator. As reported by Android Authority, an animated image from a software build of One UI 8 appears to show what some are dubbing a "Galaxy G Fold" device with three display panels. The screens would be capable of displaying different information or working in unison as one large display. The new
