As a user, I love them. Every year I celebrate Settings Day: a day when I take a look at the options and toggles in all the apps I use.

gizmodo.com Gizmodo Deals 2026-03-06 12:10:27

Bose has been a name in the household for decades and it is well known for its speakers and headphones. Some forget, though, that Bose is just as good at home audio as it is at headphones and travel speakers. The best example of this is the Bose TV speaker which offers an easy but effective solution for those who want to get a better sound out of their TV. As part of Prime Day, this soundbar is exclusively for Prime members at a brand-new all-time low price of $199, from its usual $279. See at

Deep inside Alphabet, the parent company of Google, a secretive lab is working on a promise so audacious it sounds like science fiction: to “solve all diseases.” The company, Isomorphic Labs, is now preparing to start its first human clinical trials for cancer drugs designed entirely by artificial intelligence.

Ford Just Made It a Lot Easier to Buy a Car This Summer

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-03-06 14:26:44

On the surface, Ford’s latest announcement is a fantastic deal for car buyers. The company is retiring its “employee pricing for all” campaign and rolling out an aggressive “Zero, Zero, Zero” summer sales event: zero down payment, zero percent interest for 48 months, and zero payments for the first 90 days. It’s a tempting offer, but when you look closer at the economic landscape, it starts to look less like a confident summer promotion and more like a defensive maneuver against a gathering sto

OpenAI is the undisputed poster child of the AI revolution, the company that forced the world to pay attention with the launch of ChatGPT. But behind the scenes, a desperate and wildly expensive battle is raging, and the cost of keeping the company’s geniuses in-house is becoming astronomical. According to a recent report from The Information, OpenAI revealed to investors that its stock-based compensation for employees surged more than fivefold last year to an astonishing $4.4 billion.

Tim Cook has a new deputy but Apple’s next CEO is probably still someone else

Jeff Williams, often considered Tim Cook’s successor, is leaving Apple. Sabih Khan, a 30-year veteran of the company, is Apple’s next chief operating officer. Does Khan taking Cook’s old job make him CEO-designate? Jeff Williams retiring certainly clears the path for Khan to climb up the succession planning ladder. However, I would wager that Apple’s CEO succession plan isn’t changing. Jeff Williams retires and Sabih Khan steps up Jeff Williams, who has been called Tim Cook’s Tim Cook, has alw
