Hackers left empty-handed after massive NPM supply-chain attack

The largest supply-chain compromise in the history of the NPM ecosystem has impacted roughly 10% of all cloud environments, but the attacker made little profit off it. The attack occurred earlier this week after maintainer Josh Junon (qix) fell for a password reset phishing lure and compromised multiple highly popular NPM packages, among them chalk and degub-js, that cumulatively have more than 2.6 billion weekly downloads. After gaining access to Junon’s account, the attackers pushed maliciou

Perseverance Rover Finds Potential Sign of Ancient Life in Martian Rock

Today, NASA officials unveiled intriguing new findings from “Sapphire Canyon,” the 25th geological sample collected by the Perseverance Mars rover. This rock core has captivated scientists ever since Perseverance extracted it in July 2024, as it may help them determine if microbial life ever existed on the Red Planet. Now, NASA has revealed that the initial analysis of the Sapphire Canyon sample could not rule out a biological origin for its distinctive features. “This very well could be the cl

The AirPods Pro 3 Can Read Your Heart Rate During Workouts, Without the Need of an Apple Watch

The latest iteration of the Pro earpods has improved noise cancellation, the ability to translate other languages in real time, better and clearer sound quality, and water resistance, so it can handle your sweatiest workouts.

AirPods Pro 3 vs AirPods Pro 2: Here’s everything new

AirPods Pro 3 are finally here, arriving three years after their predecessor. But is Apple’s new model worth the upgrade? Here’s how AirPods Pro 3 compare vs. AirPods Pro 2. Audio feature upgrades AirPods Pro 3 offer strong improvements to the core audio features that AirPods users know and love. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) can impressively remove up to 2x more noise than AirPods Pro 2, and up to 4x more than the original AirPods Pro. Apple says it’s “the world’s best ANC of any in-ear wi

Welcome to the era of thin smartphones (whether you want it or not)

We knew it was coming, and now it’s here. The iPhone Air, as rumored, is only 5.6mm thick and has fewer features than the base iPhone 17, which is $200 cheaper. Sure, it’s not the first slimline reinterpretation of a major smartphone — Samsung beat Apple to the punch with the Galaxy S25 Edge earlier this year — but the influence of Apple can’t be underestimated. It’s too early to tell if the iPhone Air will shake up smartphones as the MacBook Air did with laptops, but it’s definitely a safer evo

iPhone Air vs. Samsung S25 Edge: I compared both thin phones, and there's a clear winner

Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. The market of ultra-thin and lightweight phones is officially at its tipping point, as Apple threw its hat into the ring this week with the new iPhone Air. The newest and arguably most innovative iPhone features the company's slimmest design yet, measuring at around 5.6mm thin. How did the folks at Cupertino achieve such a record? By opting for a smaller battery, fewer cameras, and some design elements that disrupt the norm, especially by i

AirPods Pro 3 vs. AirPods Pro 2: Which Wireless Earbuds Are Better?

After years of speculation, Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 are finally here, and while we haven’t tried them for ourselves, they look like they were worth the wait. This generation brings new hardware, features, and some impressive improvements on paper over the last generation, which was refreshed in 2023 with USB-C and a few other features. If you’re in the market for new AirPods, you’re probably already wondering whether you should rush out to scoop up Apple’s long-awaited third-gen, but before you do

iPhone Air Hands-On: It’s So Hard to Resist the Reality Distortion Field

Okay, so I’ve had some sleep to rest up (just a little) from the craziness of yesterday’s Apple Event, but also time to collect some thoughts on the iPhone Air (starting at $999) that I got to try out after the keynote. There’s no doubt in my mind that Apple has captured the same type of attention with the iPhone Air’s super-thin design as it did when Steve Jobs pulled out the original MacBook Air from a manila envelope. The iPhone Air is just so unbelievably thin—I felt like I could easily snap

iPhone Air vs. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Begun, the Thin Phone Wars Have

The future of thin phones is up in the air, leaving me on the edge of my seat. Apple’s latest smartphone redesign is epitomized by the $1,000 iPhone Air, while Samsung is still trying to sell consumers on a slim $1,100 Galaxy S25 Edge. Tales as old as good versus evil—or Android versus iOS—don’t ever have an expected outcome, and we doubt either device will make you want to change ecosystems. Still, we know you’re curious about how the devices stack up, and we finally have the specs to compare t

AirPods Pro 3 have less overall battery life than AirPods Pro 2

The new AirPods Pro 3 have better battery life than AirPods Pro 2 on a single charge, with the buds lasting up to 2 hours longer on one charge. But here’s a curveball. The overall battery life of AirPods Pro 3 is actually less. Including the charging case, Apple says AirPods Pro 3 are good for 24 hours of listening time, whereas AirPods Pro 2 actually last for 30 hours. That’s a surprising 20% reduction … This means for one continuous session of music and podcast listening, AirPods Pro 3 are s

Jesse Eisenberg Hints at Magical Fun Coming in ‘Now You See Me 3’

It’s been almost a decade since the last Now You See Me movie, but the franchise is coming back with a third installment that sees old and new magicians team up for a series of heists.

I think the iPhone Air is going to be a bigger hit than anyone expected – including Apple

It’s long been clear that the iPhone Air was going to be a beautiful device, but based on reactions so far, it seems that people are even more impressed than expected by the sleek look of the all-new iPhone. It’s usually the two Pro models that get all the love, but this year it seems all anyone wants to talk about is the iPhone Air … I said beforehand that I very much expected to be admiring the aesthetics of the new phone.

Apple failed to solve my biggest fear about the iPhone Air

Joe Maring / Android Authority The rumors about the iPhone Air were true. Just a few months after Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Edge, Apple has thrown its hat in the ring with its own ultra-thin iPhone. At first glance, the iPhone Air does look impressive. The 5.6mm body is shockingly thin, the display looks great, and having the latest A19 Pro chip is quite the achievement. However, there was one aspect more than anything else that I was curious to hear about: battery life. The Galaxy S25

The iPhone Air's top wireless charging speed is 20W

The announcement of the iPhone Air surprised exactly nobody during today's Apple "Awe dropping" event.
