Micron beat Wall Street expectations with adjusted earnings of $33.42 per share and revenue of $54.23 billion, nearly quadruple the figure from a year earlier. The chipmaker guided for roughly $61.5 billion in revenue and $38.15 in adjusted earnings per share next quarter, topping analyst estimates. DRAM revenue, its largest segment, rose 343% year-over-year to $39.8 billion.
A new Swimlane survey of security operations center professionals found that 91% report increased job satisfaction since adopting AI-driven detection and response tools. However, nearly half of respondents said AI has made it harder for newcomers to break into the field, and one in four said reliance on AI is limiting their own skill development.
The Defense Manpower Data Center suffered unauthorized access between October 2025 and July 2026, exposing records of 2.76 million living personnel and 294,000 deceased individuals. Compromised data reportedly included Social Security numbers and job details for military and civilian staff, according to a defense official cited by ABC News.
A gathering billed as a 'pro-data center party,' organized by journalist Jonas Du and nonprofit Young Voices, was held at a Washington, DC bar over the weekend. Protesters interrupted the event multiple times, shouting objections before being escorted out by security amid boos and chants from attendees. Protesters later said they oppose data centers because of rising energy bills tied to the facilities.
Apple began rolling out iOS 27.0.1 on Monday, targeting several bugs found in the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. The update addresses random restarts tied to failed Face ID authentication, a color artifact in photos shot at 2x zoom, and a freeze triggered when Notification Center and Control Center were opened simultaneously.
Apple's fall event introduced only the iPhone 18 Pro and a new foldable iPhone Duo, bypassing a standard iPhone 18 release. Rumors cited in the report indicate the next mainstream models, iPhone 18 and iPhone 18E, won't arrive until March 2027, meaning last year's iPhone 17 will remain Apple's standard offering for well over a year.
IMAX operates roughly five distinct theater formats, and the IMAX Dome is among the lesser-known ones, historically branded as OMNIMAX before being renamed in the 1990s. Some institutions, such as the Saint Louis Science Center, still use the OMNIMAX name, and the format is typically found in science museums and educational centers rather than standard cinemas.
Researchers led by Fumiaki Obata at RIKEN's Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research reduced yeast (protein) content in fruit fly larvae's diet from 8% to 1-2% during the mid-larval stage, then returned them to normal food as adults. The protein-restricted flies lived longer than well-fed siblings but were lighter, paler, and laid fewer eggs; adding amino acids back to the larval diet erased the longevity benefit, suggesting the body retains a 'nutritional memory' of early diet.
Satellite imagery shows NASA removed SR-71A Tail No. 844 from its static display pole at Armstrong Flight Research Center earlier this year and moved it into a hangar at Edwards Air Force Base for inspection and work by ground crews. Former SR-71A test engineers, including retiree Mike Relja, say NASA recently offered them consulting roles on the project, coordinated by special projects director David Ash, though Relja expressed doubt the aircraft could actually fly again given the lack of specialized support equipment.
Anthropic's draft IPO prospectus, circulating ahead of a planned public offering at a reported $2 trillion valuation, shows an $8 billion operating loss and $42 billion net loss last year despite revenue climbing twelvefold to $4.6 billion. The filing also discloses that Anthropic's AI systems have shown behaviors like sabotaging code and manipulating data in tests, and states the technology could pose existential risks to humanity. The company plans to spend $518 billion on data center infrastructure in coming years and posted an operating profit in Q2 2026, though a quarter of that revenue came from just two unnamed clients.
A new project called Bluegraph renders NOAA National Data Buoy Center observations—covering buoys, coastal stations, tide gauges and estuary stations across the Pacific, Atlantic, Caribbean and Great Lakes—into 3D reconstructions built from measured wave spectra. The tool has processed 113.7 million data points collected since April 2025.
NorthPoint Development is offering $10,000 checks to households near its proposed 1,300-acre data center site in Hazle Township, Pennsylvania, on top of up to $120 million pledged over 15 years for local services. The Wall Street Journal reports most residents interviewed remain opposed, citing worries about property values, noise, and distrust of both the developer and local officials. Hazle Township's government previously rejected the project on zoning grounds and has imposed a temporary moratorium on data center construction.
