Nvidia has spent the last decade building the data-center AI market into a $5 trillion business. Now it is coming for your desk. At Computex 2026 in Taipei on Monday, CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the RTX Spark superchip — Nvidia’s first processor designed specifically for AI workloads on personal computers. The chip will power a […]

Attackers compromised official Red Hat NPM accounts on June 1 and pushed malicious versions of more than 30 packages under the @redhat-cloud-services namespace, distributing a self-replicating worm designed to steal cloud credentials and spread to connected systems. A trusted namespace turned weapon The @redhat-cloud-services scope on the NPM registry […]

In 1946, Paul Erdős — the most prolific mathematician in history, with over 1,500 papers to his name — posed a simple question about geometry. Given n points on a flat plane, what is the maximum number of pairs that can be exactly one unit apart? The problem looks […]

For five decades, the logic of semiconductor scaling was simple: shrink the transistor, get more performance, lower power consumption, and reduce cost per transistor. At the 14-angstrom (1.4 nm) and 16-angstrom nodes, that logic is breaking down. The industry faces a paradox summarized in a single phrase from a […]

For the past decade, Apple has been perfecting a specific kind of product play: take a mature accessory category, add just enough iPhone integration to make the combination irresistible, price for the mainstream, and watch the ecosystem effect do the rest. The Apple Watch proved the model works — it now generates an estimated $17 […]

You close your laptop. Your AI keeps working. That, in a sentence, is the pitch behind Google’s Gemini Spark — a personal AI agent that runs on dedicated cloud virtual machines, not on your phone or laptop, and continues monitoring your inbox, tracking prices, and running multi-step tasks whether your devices are on or off. […]

Apple’s multi-billion-dollar deal with Google to power Siri with Gemini was announced in January. The hard part is just beginning: shrinking a multi-trillion parameter model to fit inside a phone. When Apple and Google announced their multi-year AI partnership in January 2026, the headline was simple: Google’s Gemini would replace the underlying intelligence powering Siri […]

The defining trend of 2026 in software engineering is “tokenmaxxing” — burning as many AI tokens as possible as a proxy for productivity. The data suggests it is making code worse, and developers less capable without it. In May, TechCrunch reported that developers are increasingly refusing to take on coding tasks without access to AI […]

At Computex this week, Microsoft and Nvidia are expected to unveil the first Windows PCs powered by Nvidia’s own ARM processor. It would be Nvidia’s first consumer CPU in over a decade. The PC industry has been here before. Microsoft has attempted ARM-based Windows laptops multiple times — the Surface RT, the Surface Pro X […]

The clock is ticking on Q-Day. Google now estimates it will arrive by 2029, and most organizations haven’t started migrating. Quantum computing does not yet exist at the scale needed to break modern encryption. But that has not stopped adversaries from collecting encrypted data today, waiting for the day it does. The strategy has a […]
