Apple’s first foldable goes on sale this Friday, October 23. The iPhone Duo costs $1,999, pre-orders opened on October 16, and stores in more than 70 countries get stock on the day. That alone would lead any mobile technology news roundup, but it isn’t the only thing going on. Qualcomm just showed off its first 2nm chips, Google’s Pixel 11 has been in shops since August, and a memory shortage is pushing up what every phone costs. A lot at once. Most of it ends up on your receipt. The Duo Is Late, Expensive, and Probably Fine Apple announced the…
An AI Agents Cyberattack just moved from conference slides to real headlines. On October 19, 2026, Reuters and security firm NorForge reported that a single hacker used AI agents to attack more than 1,200 websites and break into over 100 company sites. What makes this AI Agents Cyberattack stand out is the price tag: researchers estimate roughly $50 per successful intrusion. No big team, no deep pockets, just a few short instructions and a lot of machine patience. One Hacker, One Open-Source Platform, 1,200 Targets NorForge researcher Snorre Fagerland began spotting exposed control panels for Cairn around October 2. Cairn…
The MacBook M6 release date looks close to settled. Apple is expected to unveil its M6 14-inch MacBook Pro on or around Tuesday, October 27, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, which is eight days away. Apple has since invited selected media to an all-day launch experience in Los Angeles on October 28, which fits that timing. If you’re weighing a base MacBook Pro right now, that window matters more than any spec sheet. It decides whether you’d be buying a laptop that is about to be replaced. October 27 or 28? Pinning Down the Announcement Gurman first reported on October…
AI superintelligence stopped being a lab buzzword this month. In late September the White House pushed federal agencies to rename AI as super intelligence, then tech leaders signed a voluntary safety pledge, and on October 4 the president announced a Super Intelligence Force to coordinate the government’s response. That is a lot of official language for something nobody has built. The older meaning of the word is far narrower, and the mismatch is already causing confusion. Here is what AI superintelligence really means, who is chasing it, and why so many people want it paused. First, What Does Superintelligence Even…
Huawei didn’t make anyone wait this time. The Huawei Mate 90 was announced and put on sale on the same day, October 1, which has never happened with a Mate flagship before. The base model costs 5,999 yuan for 12GB + 256GB, and it comes with the Kirin 9030 chip, HarmonyOS 7 and a 6,600mAh battery. That’s a big jump from the 5,750mAh cell in the Mate 80. Tracker RDObservation says around 270,200 units of the series shipped in the first ten days. The bigger story is price. Memory chips have gotten expensive, phone makers are passing that on, and…
Nine months is a long time to wait for a letter. That’s roughly how long passed between a Virginia law firm noticing something wrong on its network and telling the public that files had probably been stolen. Midkiff, Muncie & Ross PC says its systems were disrupted on December 8, 2025. A Virginia woman has now filed a proposed class action accusing the firm of failing to protect her personal information. If you’re trying to work out whether this Mid Atlantic law firm data breach touches you, the timeline is the place to start. Why Did It Take Until September…
Okay, so GR HiTech. If you follow Indian mid-cap stocks, you’ve probably seen the name popping up everywhere lately. It’s the market name for Garware Hi-Tech Films, and the stock sat around Rs 6,970 on 16 October 2026. A year ago it was nowhere near that. Over the last 52 weeks it has bounced between about Rs 2,690 and Rs 7,990, which is a huge range for a company that makes plastic film. And that’s the thing people forget. It’s not just plastic film anymore. A quick look at what they actually do The company dates back to 1933 and…
Microsoft shipped the Windows 11 26H2 update on September 29, and if you blinked, you might have missed what it actually does. Not much, on the surface. The company itself called it “a predictable and low-disruption update.” But there’s a deadline buried in here. Installing 26H2 gives Home and Pro users a fresh 24 months of support, and the October 13 Patch Tuesday release was the last one ever for 24H2 Home and Pro. So if you’re on 24H2, this stops being optional pretty quickly. Let’s go through what’s in the update, who can get it, and what could go…
If you’ve ever borrowed from OneMain Financial, go check your mailbox. On September 25, 2026, the lender told the Texas Attorney General that hackers had taken customer names, addresses and Social Security numbers, and notice letters started going out around September 28. The OneMain Financial data breach itself happened back in May. Customers are only hearing about it now, and the lawyers showed up almost as fast as the letters did. Four Months Is a Long Time to Wait OneMain says it noticed suspicious activity on its network in May, shut it down, and hired an outside forensic firm. The…
If you’ve typed write for us technology into Google lately, you’ve probably noticed how samey the results look. Same template, same Gmail address, same promise of “exposure.” I went through a dozen of these pages, and while I was at it, Google quietly changed the ground underneath them. On August 28, 2026, its Search Central blog announced that site reputation manual actions would stop affecting searchers in the European Economic Area from August 30. Everywhere else, nothing changed. Add the August 2026 spam update, which reached every language and location on August 18, and the picture is clear enough. Editors…
