9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-28 18:59:30

A couple of years ago, the US labor board accused Apple CEO Tim Cook of breaking federal law after the executive sent an all-staff email threatening to punish leakers. Now, it has dropped the charges. Here are the details. A bit of background In late January 2023, Bloomberg reported that the US National Labor Relations Board had determined that Apple’s “various work rules” were at odds with labor rights, and the complaint was forwarded to administrative law judges.

Get a Fascinating Look at Some of Nacelle’s New ‘Star Trek’ Figures

Even without a single one of them actually released and in our grubby little hands yet, the thing we love most about Nacelle’s line of Star Trek action figures is the company’s willingness to get as weird and dorky about its lineup as any Trekkie would. Picard and Kirk before calling it a day? Not here: how about Tuvix and Weyoun? How about Captain Janeway, but a version of her very specific to one episode? What about Jellico? What about Bem?

Retail Stores May Soon Use Drones to Chase Thieves

gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-09-29 06:35:40

As if we weren’t already tracked enough, malls and stores across the U.S. might soon deploy drones to catch shoplifters. Controversial surveillance company Flock Safety, which supplies drones and other invasive tech to police departments, announced on Thursday that it is now offering its drones to private security firms. Drone use in policing is on the rise, and this move makes it likely that private companies will soon adopt the same tech. But as drones become normalized for public and privat

50+ scientific societies sign letter objecting to Trump executive order

Last month, the Trump administration issued an executive order asserting political control over grant funding, including all federally supported research. In general, the executive order inserts a layer of political control over both the announcement of new funding opportunities and the approval of individual grants. Now, a coalition of more than 50 scientific and medical organizations is firing back, issuing a letter to the US Congress expressing grave concerns over the order's provisions and u

Shoplifters could soon be chased down by drones

“Instead of a 911 call [that triggers the drone], it’s an alarm call,” says Keith Kauffman, a former police chief who now directs Flock’s drone program. “It’s still the same type of response.” Kauffman walked through how the drone program might work in the case of retail theft: If the security team at a store like Home Depot, for example, saw shoplifters leave the store, then the drone, equipped with cameras, could be activated from its docking station on the roof. “The drone follows the peopl

Many people are aware that burning fossil fuels warms the planet, but fewer know that burning them creates fine particulate matter that kills as many as 10 million people every year. “For some time, I’ve been trying to bring more attention t

How does air pollution impact your brain?

Image credit: Ionut Stefan We’ve known for some time that air pollution is bad for human health. However, the focus was mostly on the lungs, and to some extent, the heart. After all, airborne pollutants are inhaled through the lungs and can reach the heart through the bloodstream, so it’s not surprising these take the brunt of the damage. But somewhere along the way, it became somewhat mainstream to consider how air pollution might affects brains too. What I found surprising was the recency of
