Every year around this time, Apple announces new iPhones. The products go on sale soon after, usually ranging from a base model to more premium and more expensive Pro models. But this year will likely be different—not just because the company has a brand-new CEO.Apple’s iPhone event will be held on September 9 at 10 am Pacific (1 pm Eastern), announced last week with the title “Surprise and Shine!” If you tune into the livestream, expect the announcement of an iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and, if all the rumors and widely held analyst expectations are true, the first…

Developer Shapefarm’s debut release is more than just a stellar couch co-op adventure: Orbitals is a celebration of vintage anime that wears its inspirations on its sleeve. It’s Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion and Sailor Moon stuffed into a high-concept sci-fi story, with lovingly crafted animated cutscenes to boot. And while Orbitals never truly breaks away from these visual touchstones to blossom into a stand-alone masterpiece, it’s aping so many nearly perfect hits that the sugary nostalgia will probably be enough to keep you satiated during the game’s short playtime. The elephant in the room is Hazelight Studios’ string of award-winning hits,…

An old ownCloud vulnerability is back in the spotlight after researchers linked it to the reported theft of sensitive Philippine nuclear research data. The flaw had been fixed for nearly three years before the intrusion came to light. CISA added CVE-2023-49105 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on Aug. 27, 2026, one day after Hunt.io published evidence tying the flaw to a Philippine nuclear research organization. The researchers said attacker-controlled infrastructure contained nuclear-material records, reactor-related data, personnel files, and credential material, underscoring the risk posed by unpatched internet-facing file-sharing systems. The listing confirms that CVE-2023-49105 has been exploited in the…

Most enterprises now have post-quantum cryptography initiatives underway. The problem is that very few have implemented quantum-safe protections across their infrastructure. This gap was highlighted recently in a survey released by digital trust company DigiCert Inc. The report’s findings indicated that 87% of organizations were planning, testing or implementing post-quantum cryptography initiatives, while only 7% had deployed quantum-safe or hybrid cryptography across most of their digital certificates. The survey offered one more example of the challenges ahead for enterprises seeking to protect critical systems in a world where cryptographic algorithms may become obsolete, leaving systems vulnerable to attack. “Post-quantum migration…

Forbes has released its 2026 list of Singapore’s 50 Richest on Thursday (Sept 3), and while most of the city-state’s wealthiest got richer, their combined fortunes remained flat at US$239 billion. 35 of the 50 listees saw their fortunes grow, buoyed by Singapore’s strong economic performance and gains in sectors such as banking, property and retail. But a sharp decline in tech-related wealth, including Meta co-founder Eduardo Saverin, wiped out much of those gains, leaving the collective fortune unchanged from last year. Still, the losses have done little to dent Saverin’s lead. Despite seeing his net worth fall by US$10.1…

Customer journey orchestration is about building genuine connections with prospects and customers. Why is a customer-centric approach crucial in today’s omnichannel environment? B2B buying journeys rarely follow the path marketing teams expect. A champion may start the search. IT may shift the focus to security. Finance may test the business case. Procurement may then push on terms. Each stakeholder can change the direction of the deal. Their actions leave clues across many channels. These include websites and events. They also include email activity and sales calls. Product trials and third-party research add more context. Most marketing stacks record these signals.…

This week on the GeekWire Podcast: The NBA suspends former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for a year and hits the Clippers with $30 million in fines and five lost draft picks over allegedly sham endorsement deals for Kawhi Leonard, drawing comparisons to the Microsoft antitrust era. A new Redfin report says San Francisco’s housing market is booming on AI wealth while Seattle slumps, with the Bay Area-to-Seattle migration pipeline nearly dried up. And the Seahawks sale to the Khosla family officially closes, ending the Paul Allen era, with two familiar Seattle tech names surfacing in the new ownership group. Plus,…

Comparing the Best Alexa SpeakersHonorable MentionsWhile I wouldn’t call these smart speakers my absolute favorites from Amazon, they have some excellent qualities that make them stand out among the vast lineup of Echo models.The Echo Studio (2nd Gen) is the best Alexa speaker for sound quality. This is the second version of the Echo Studio to be our audiophile pick. The current version is a similar size to the old Echo (4th gen), but the musical power on this speaker is almost ridiculous. It filled my entire second floor’s long great room with music, and I didn’t even need to…

A horror story of sorts is unfolding in the United States. It goes like this: AI has made it so effortless to access information, and short-form video has made it so easy to entertain ourselves, that nobody reads anymore.If you’re familiar with this tale, it’s possible, ironically, that you read about it. A viral Atlantic story from earlier this summer put a chilling headline on trend: “The End of Reading Is Here.” Teachers and professors, the magazine reported, don’t even bother assigning entire books to their students, because excerpts are good enough to prepare for standardized texts. The piece said…

A group of AI safety researchers says a fleet of autonomous agents that identified themselves as OpenAI systems left about 18,000 posts on a dormant 25-year-old German wiki between May and July 2026, using the site as a shared board to pool answers to a timed web task and pass around a way out of their sandbox. The activity was concentrated on DSEwiki, a German software developer wiki that runs on the ProWiki farm at wikiservice[.]at and had been edited about 20 times over the previous decade. The researchers, led by Sydney Von Arx of the AI safety nonprofit Nightingale Collective, reconstructed the…
