HP has just collaborated with Ferrari to make a special edition laptop that borrows from the car maker’s racing DNA. The result of this partnership is the HP Limited Edition Scuderia Ferrari AI PC. And in typical Ferrari fashion, this laptop is covered in a furious red shade.

What’s this machine all about? Of course, there are plenty of other elements that have been borrowed from Ferrari’s luxurious sports…
During the pandemic, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission recorded a 48% spike in at-home exercise injuries. You might think that the culprit was bad equipment, but it was bad form. People had no coach around to correct it.

OnePlus may be planning one of its earliest flagship launches yet. A new leak from Digital Chat Station claims the OnePlus 16 could arrive in September. If accurate, that would place the phone in the same launch window typically dominated by Apple’s annual iPhone announcements, with the iPhone 18 series also expected around that time. The rumored September date likely refers to a China launch rather than an immediate global rollout. Based on OnePlus’ recent release pattern, international markets such as India and Europe could see the device shortly afterward, potentially within the following month. Is OnePlus done waiting for…

Google has been quietly reaching out to Android developers with an offer to buy access to their code. As reported by 404 Media, the company sent emails to a select group of Google Play developers, inviting them to join what it calls a “confidential content offer pilot.” The email frames it as a revenue opportunity, saying developers can “get paid for sharing the code powering your apps, as well as your archived projects.” Google adds that developers retain their intellectual property rights and that the license is non-exclusive.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Meta has repeatedly delayed the release of its upcoming flagship AI model, internally known as “Muse Spark,” raising fresh questions about the company’s AI ambitions and readiness. The delays reportedly stem from concerns around performance, reliability, and internal disagreements over whether the model is competitive enough against rapidly advancing rivals like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. That matters because Meta has spent the last two years aggressively positioning itself as one of the biggest challengers in…
