Apple vs. generative AI: Who needs who?

zdnet.com Jason Hiner 2026-03-15 20:03:00

Tim Cook at Apple WWDC 2025. Jason Hiner/ZDNET One of my editors once told me that a cynic will always sound more rational, but that doesn't mean they're right. French statesman Francois Guizot basically said the same thing from the other POV: "The world belongs to optimists. Pessimists are only spectators." Apple's AI strategy has a lot of cynics and pessimists -- and they sound pretty rational based on what we've seen over the past year. The long-awaited revamp of Siri has never materialized

Let’s Talk About the Ending of ’28 Years Later’

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-03-15 18:00:30

One of the few flaws in Danny Boyle’s new film, 28 Years Later, is that it ends a chapter, not a full story. That’s because this new zombie tale is the first film of a proposed trilogy, one that has its second film coming in January of 2026. With at least one sequel guaranteed, Boyle and his writer, Alex Garland, can safely leave several threads lingering, offering hints of what’s to come. Let’s break it down with full spoilers. One of the biggest shocks in 28 Years Later is its manic ending. A
