Apple has a big fall launch season up ahead, with 15+ new products coming. But per various reports and rumors, there are three particular products launching that we’ve been waiting a long time for. #1: AirTag 2 AirTag first arrived over four years ago, and it hasn’t had a single hardware revision since then. But rumors about an AirTag 2 have been circulating for a long while. Based on recent reporting, it sounds like we’ll finally get a new AirTag this fall. New features are expected to incl

Colon cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and it's important to be aware of the symptoms as well as what you can do to prevent this deadly illness. Colorectal or colon cancer (not to be confused with stomach or gastric cancer) has become a hot topic in recent years with news of celebrities -- such as Chadwick Boseman and Kirstie Alley-- passing away after battling the disease. In 2025, the American Cancer Society estimates that there will be about 107,320 new cases of c
Hackers are targeting a previously reported bug in the Signal clone app TeleMessage in an effort to steal users’ private data, according to security researchers and a U.S. government agency. TeleMessage, which earlier this year was revealed to be used by high-ranking officials in the Trump administration, already experienced at least one data breach in May. The company markets modified versions of Signal, WhatsApp, and Telegram for corporations and government agencies that need to archive chats

atopile brings the power of software development workflows to hardware design. By describing electronics with code, you can leverage, modularity version control, and deep validation. Capture design intelligence and constraints directly in your code, enabling auto-selection of components, embedded calculations checked on every build, and reliable, configurable modules. This allows for rapid iteration, easier collaboration, and robust designs validated through continuous integration. Quickstart
Back in 2016, the original A1 Bluetooth speaker (8/10, WIRED Recommends) was one of the first from Bang & Olufsen under its more affordable Beosound sub-brand. The stylish puck of brushed aluminum was a welcome antidote to all the rubberized Bluetooth boxes, and as a testament to good design, aesthetically it has changed little through three generations. The third-generation Beosound A1 has just been launched, and while the design remains instantly recognizable and effortlessly cool, internally
Introduction The rapid development of electronic products results in a significant need for either upgrading existing electronics production lines (EPLs) or designing newEPLs. Changes in product orders also lead to a frequent reconfiguration of electronics production lines. However, due to unreasonable design, many EPLs fail to meet the initial objective. This recommended practice addresses a preferred technique to help practitioners efficiently design a high-performance EPL. Overview of the S

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority TL;DR Gboard is getting a subtly redesigned emoji picker interface. With this refresh, Google reverts the recent design change in beta that introduced broader buttons. This time, the update is rolling out in the stable channel, which means it will be available to a broader range of users. Google is constantly testing new UI tweaks or behavioral changes in its apps. Some of these changes don’t stick, especially when they are limited to beta versions of the app
Jada Jones/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The Dyson OnTrac headphones Impressive sound, adequate noise-canceling, and innovative design choices define the OnTrac headphones. Dyson could spend more time refining these headphones' physical controls, as they can be finicky and unreliable. Who says the same company that made your vacuum cleaner and hairdryer can't make your headphones? I'm unsure if anyone has ever said that, but Dyson definitely didn't. That's right -- the company responsible
Scientists at the European Space Agency used a laser to communicate with a spacecraft 165 million miles (265 million kilometers) away in deep space for the first time, marking a major step forward in their efforts to build optical communication systems for future missions to the Moon and beyond. Scientists at the Kryoneri Observatory near Athens, Greece, shot a powerful laser at NASA’s Psyche mission, which then sent a return signal to the Helmos Observatory, which lies some 23 miles (37 km) aw

Joe Maring / Android Authority From blobs to bounce to bright colors, your phone is about to look and feel a lot different, with Google bringing more of an opinionated approach to its design than we’ve ever seen before. In the world of software design, many are used to looking to Apple for inspiration, but Google’s Material Design bucks that trend with its boldest and most daring design strategy yet. Is Google’s more playful approach going to be a hit and entice an entirely new type of consumer
Humans might not know of any intelligent beings beyond Earth, but if they exist, they might already know about us. New research shows that radar systems at commercial and military airports are inadvertently announcing our presence to any aliens with the ability to listen. Preliminary results from a study led by Ramiro Caisse Saide, an astrophysics PhD candidate at the University of Manchester, suggest extraterrestrials up to 200 light-years away could theoretically detect electromagnetic signal
TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 is the epicenter where 10,000+ startup and VC leaders gather to explore the future of innovation — and this year, two AI Stages bring the intersection of design and machine learning into sharp focus. We’re thrilled to welcome Alejandro Matamala Ortiz, co-founder and chief design officer at Runway, to one of the AI Stages at Disrupt 2025, taking place October 27–29 in San Francisco. As part of a can’t-miss panel conversation, Ortiz will share how design principles are gui
Ever had to make a 90-degree turn on a bridge? No? That’s the problem. In India, seven engineers just got suspended for designing exactly that. A brand-new $2.3 million bridge in Bhopal, India, is going viral—not because it solved traffic, but because it bends at nearly a 90-degree angle. Now, seven engineers have been suspended, a retired official is facing investigation, and the construction firms behind the project have been blacklisted.

YouTube is rolling out, or at least widely testing, a new video player design for its web experience that feels much different. YouTube has looked, in many ways, roughly the same for a long time. That includes with the video player, which has had basically the same design for years. When changes do arrive, they’re usually met with passionate response. In some cases, UI changes make it through such as the rounded corners redesign that rolled out back in 2023. In other cases, they’re canned due t

Government employees keep getting calls from Secretary of State Marco Rubio—which would be bad enough, frankly, having to talk to that guy. But making matters worse, it seems that it’s not actually Marco Rubio but instead, an unidentified caller who is mimicking his voice with artificial intelligence software, according to a report from the Washington Post. The technologically advanced crank caller has reportedly contacted at least three foreign ministers, a governor, and a member of Congress,
