Sales went up. Revenue did not follow. And nobody in the room can explain why. The answer is in the formula everyone learned and nobody uses. Sales went up this quarter. Good news travels fast in an organization. Then someone reads the revenue line. It did not move the way the sales numbers suggested it would. And the meeting that was supposed to be a celebration becomes a different kind of conversation entirely. This happens more than anyone wants to admit. And it happens for a reason that is sitting right there in the revenue formula, hiding in plain sight.…

The next time you’re scrolling your phone, take a moment to appreciate the feat: The seemingly mundane act is possible thanks to the coordination of 34 muscles, 27 joints, and over 100 tendons and ligaments in your hand. Indeed, our hands are the most nimble parts of our bodies. Mimicking their many nuanced gestures has been a longstanding challenge in robotics and virtual reality.Now, MIT engineers have designed an ultrasound wristband that precisely tracks a wearer’s hand movements in real-time. The wristband produces ultrasound images of the wrist’s muscles, tendons, and ligaments as the hand moves, and is paired with…

(GeekWire File Photo / Todd Bishop) Bellevue, Wash.-based wireless carrier T-Mobile confirmed it made an unspecified number of layoffs this week. A tipster told GeekWire the number was in the hundreds, which the company did not verify. “To move even faster in a dynamic market while continuing to deliver best-in-class digital experiences for our customers, we’re further aligning our IT organization to support future growth and innovation,” T-Mobile said in a statement to GeekWire on Friday. “This includes the difficult decision of eliminating some roles while continuing to invest and hire in areas.” Posts on LinkedIn referenced the layoffs, with…

The arrival of spring means longer and warmer days. It’s one of those bittersweet connections we have with wanting a greener lawn but dreading the relentless maintenance under the scorching sun. Every weekend ultimately turns into a tug-of-war between wanting a good-looking yard and a simple, relaxing weekend. If you are a homeowner looking to keep your yard sharper without breaking a sweat, the limited-time Spring Sale on Lymow’s latest robotic lawn mower is the perfect chance to upgrade. With sales running from March 27th to April 5th, the ongoing Spring deal presents exclusive pricing with special bonuses, making the Lymow…

I first noticed it when, a few months ago, I opened an email from Ian, my literary agent. Before I’d had a chance to read anything he’d written, Gmail was recommending a full, fleshed-out, AI-generated reply, ventriloquizing ideas for a book and even my feelings about the job transition I’d recently made. It had mined my inbox to infer why Ian was writing to me and ingested bits of my style, even signing off with the lowercase “m” that I use with people with whom I have an easy familiarity.For around a decade, Google had been suggesting very generic, sometimes…

The world’s top AI research conference, the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems—better known as NeurIPS—became the latest organization this week to become embroiled in a growing clash between geopolitics and global scientific collaboration. The conference’s organizers announced and then quickly reversed controversial new restrictions for international participants after Chinese AI researchers threatened to boycott the event.“This is a potential watershed moment,” says Paul Triolo, a partner at the advisory firm DGA-Albright Stonebridge who studies US-China relations. Triolo argues that attracting Chinese researchers to NeurIPS is beneficial to US interests, but some American officials have pushed for American and Chinese…

Enterprises want to move beyond AI experimentation, but most still struggle to bridge the gap between promising proofs of concept and production-ready cloud-native AI platforms. The challenge is compounding as AI workloads converge with cloud-native infrastructure. European services company ITQ Consultancy B.V. is tackling that challenge head-on, using an AI-powered robot dog named Q9 to demonstrate what a full cloud-native AI platform can do when it is assembled the right way, according to Johan van Amersfoort (pictured, left), chief evangelist and AI lead at ITQ. With Red Hat Inc.’s OpenShift under the hood, Q9 is less a demo prop and more…

Proteins are far more than nutrients we track on a food label. Present in every cell of our bodies, they work like nature’s molecular machines. They walk, stretch, bend, and flex to do their jobs, pumping blood, fighting disease, building tissue, and many other jobs too small for the eye to see. Their power doesn’t come from shape alone, but from how they move. In recent years, artificial intelligence has allowed scientists to design entirely new protein structures not found in nature tailored for specific functions, such as binding to viruses, or mimicking the mechanical properties of silk for sustainable materials.…

If you’re still using Crunchyroll after its AI subtitle fiasco and subsequent price increase, there’s a new way to watch. The anime streaming service is now available as a channel in the Apple TV app.That means you can subscribe and stream your favorite anime titles, all within Apple’s video app. No need for the Crunchyroll app or a separate login. (Your Apple account handles your subscription using this method.) 9to5Mac notes that this is the first significant new channel added to the TV app in some time.Crunchyroll starts at $10 per month, after the platform raised all of its monthly…

Hybrid environments combine on-premises data centers with public cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP. This creates complex east-west traffic and north-south flows where advanced cyber threats hide in encrypted tunnels. Fidelis Network® addresses this challenge with patented Deep Session Inspection (DSI) technology. DSI captures communication sessions across monitored network segments, recursively decodes nested protocols, data, and extracts network forensic evidence for hybrid networks.DSI reconstructs communication sessions and unpacks layered protocols like HTTP-over-TLS-over-SMB. This reveals digital forensic artifacts such as embedded files, C2 commands, stolen credentials, and metadata trails that are ready for incident responses and investigations.
