Craig Federighi explains why it took so long to make the iPad more Mac-like

iPadOS 26 arguably brings the biggest update to the iPad ever seen, turning it into something much more Mac-like in both UI and capabilities. But since iPads have been using the same chips as Macs since 2021, why did it take so long? That’s the question Apple’s software head Craig Federighi sets out to answer in a new interview … iPadOS 26 is so ground-breaking that I argued Apple has finally turned the device into something worthy of the term ‘computer.’ The biggest change by far is proper w

Apple's Liquid Glass is Windows Vista done well

It's hard to look at Apple's new "Liquid Glass" aesthetic and not think about Windows Vista, Microsoft's much-maligned OS which also touted transparencies and glass-like effects as a bold new vision for computing. You can see the similarities between Apple's UI and Vista's "Windows Aero" design language everywhere, from the glassified app icons in iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe 26 which look a lot like VIsta's glossy icons, to the transparent backgrounds used in drop down menus, which hearken back to VI

Experimental retina implants give mice infrared vision

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-06 04:08:21

Human vision relies on photoreceptor cells in the retina that react to visible light and trigger neurons in the optic nerve to send signals to the brain. Degradation of these photoreceptors is the leading cause of vision impairments, including blindness. However, a team of scientists at China’s Fudan University has recently built prototype retinal implants that can replace the failing photoreceptors and potentially provide infrared vision as a bonus. Sadly, they’ve only been tested in animals,

Gaming VC activity settles into a new normal in Q1 | Pitchbook

In the first quarter, gaming VC activity may have finally settled into a new normal — though it’s a leaner, more selective market, according to an analysis by PitchBook. Q1 funding dipped 3% QoQ to $1.2 billion across 134 deals, the lowest deal count since mid-2019. As early-stage investments continue to shrink, investors grow increasingly discerning, and the M&A and exit environment remain muted, there are still bright spots: investment surged into back-end gaming infrastructure and AI-powered

AOSP isn’t dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developers

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google has made it harder to build custom Android ROMs for Pixel phones by omitting their device trees and driver binaries from the latest AOSP release. The company says this is because it’s shifting its AOSP reference target from Pixel hardware to a virtual device called “Cuttlefish” to be more neutral. While Google insists AOSP isn’t going away, developers must now reverse-engineer changes, making the process for supporting Pixel devices more difficu
