  Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, combines the convenience of a traditional phone with the functionality of a tablet. Its 7.6-inch inner display opens up more space for reading, gaming, entertainment, and multitasking, while the 5.4-inch outer screen keeps the device compact when folded. However, its $1,999 starting price, heavier construction, and visible display crease make it important to evaluate the device beyond its futuristic design. The folding display is undoubtedly the iPhone Duo's biggest attraction, but it also introduces durability and usability considerations. Its precision-engineered hinge, titanium construction, Ceramic Shield protection, and IP68 rating offer reassurance, although the flexible inner screen still requires careful handling. Repair expenses could be higher than those of conventional smartphones, and long-term durability remains uncertain. Users should also consider whether the device's weight, thickness, and smaller outer di...

  What if the most qualified candidate in the room has the least impressive resume? In an era where AI can create polished applications within minutes, recruiters are finding it increasingly difficult to distinguish genuine talent from carefully crafted credentials. A well-written resume may look impressive, but it does not necessarily reflect someone's ability to perform, solve problems, or deliver meaningful results. Remember Suits , where Mike Ross secures a position at a prestigious law firm despite never attending law school? While other candidates rely on impressive degrees and professional backgrounds, Mike stands out through his exceptional memory, analytical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. Although his hiring circumstances were unconventional, the underlying idea highlights an important shift in recruitment: professional capabilities can matter far more than qualifications on paper. With AI-generated applications, keyword optimization, and rapidly changing workpla...

  Rabbit is taking its original AI-agent vision beyond the R1 with a new software-focused approach. The company has launched Rabbit OS3, an agentic operating system designed to work across computers, the web, messaging platforms, connected devices, and the R1 itself. Instead of requiring users to perform tasks manually across different applications, the system is designed to understand an intended outcome and coordinate AI models, tools, files, skills, and connected machines to complete the work. Rabbit OS3 became generally available on September 22, 2026, following an invite-only beta, and users do not need an R1 to access it. At the center of the platform is a conversational AI agent that can work with connected computers through Rabbit Agent, a local program available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Depending on the task and permissions, the agent can interact with files, terminal commands, desktop applications, and websites. Rabbit says one account can connect up to five devices...

  Apple is reportedly experimenting with a screenless fitness band that could bring it closer to WHOOP’s minimalist approach to health tracking. Reports suggest the prototype features a fabric strap and a sensor-equipped computing module designed to monitor metrics such as heart rate and other health data. However, Apple has not confirmed the product, its specifications, pricing, or branding, and reports indicate that a commercial launch may not happen before 2028. The project is still considered experimental, so it remains unclear whether Apple will eventually bring it to market. The idea of removing the screen may seem unusual for Apple, but WHOOP has already built its wearable strategy around exactly that concept. A screenless design can reduce distractions, support longer wear, and allow the hardware to focus primarily on sensors and health tracking. WHOOP 5.0 offers more than 14 days of battery life and focuses on continuous monitoring across sleep, recovery, strain, and other...

  Meta is reportedly testing a new AI feature called “super sensing” for its smart glasses that could make the devices far more aware of their surroundings. According to the Financial Times, the prototype could continuously capture audio and take photos every few seconds, allowing an AI assistant to help users remember things they saw or heard during the day. The reported feature could potentially answer questions such as where a user left their keys or what happened earlier, turning smart glasses into a more persistent memory assistant. However, Meta has not officially announced the feature or confirmed that it will reach consumers. The biggest concern is not what the glasses can remember, but what they could capture without other people knowing. Meta is reportedly considering keeping the recording indicator LED off while super sensing is active, which could make it difficult for bystanders to know when they are being recorded. Privacy concerns are already surrounding camera-equip...

  Choosing between a Gaming PC and a console comes down to how much control you want over your gaming experience. Consoles use fixed hardware, giving developers a predictable platform to optimize games for, while Gaming PCs allow players to customize components such as the CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, and cooling. That flexibility also brings more configuration and troubleshooting. In 2026, the price gap is less straightforward than before, with Nintendo Switch 2 priced at $449.99 in the U.S. through August before rising to $499.99 from September 1, while Xbox Series X and PS5 Pro are priced at $799.99 and $899.99, respectively. Performance is another major difference, but average FPS does not tell the entire story. Modern PC GPUs can deliver substantially higher frame rates, particularly at 1440p and high-refresh settings. For example, Tom's Hardware's June 2026 testing recorded averages of 96.4 FPS for the RTX 5070 and 104 FPS for the Radeon RX 9070 at 1440p Ultra without upscalin...

  Ox Alpha has quickly become one of the most discussed AI models among developers, despite arriving without a public developer name or traditional launch campaign. The model appeared on OpenRouter on August 20, 2026, through an unnamed third-party provider and is designed for coding, complex reasoning, sustained agentic tasks, and production workloads. Its biggest headline feature is a 1,048,576-token context window, along with support for up to 131,072 output tokens. It can process text, images, and video, while also supporting tool calling and structured JSON responses. The model's combination of capabilities and anonymous origins helped fuel its rapid popularity. OpenRouter currently lists prompt and completion tokens at zero cost, while OpenCode promoted free access for a limited period. OpenCode also reported significant usage, including 26 trillion Ox Alpha tokens processed in four days, highlighting the level of interest surrounding the model. However, the current free pric...
