Apple Is Cool Again! Love for MacBook Neo and Little Finder Guy | One More Thing YouTube video by CNET

Thank you, that means a lot. Just started to explore! youtu.be/wSuwdnM8DZE?...

Apple is showing a thing! Maybe more than one thing! I’ll be going on March 4, stay tuned. 😆

Can Apple's New AirTag Track How Many Fans Tim Cook Just Lost? Apple releases the second-gen AirTag and Creator Studio subscription in the middle of a tricky public relations week for CEO Tim Cook.

Anger and frustration toward Apple grows louder on social media — with some people calling to boycott or stop upgrading their products — after Tim Cook’s actions this week. It’s a tricky PR moment as Apple also launched two new products. I unpack it all in this week’s One More Thing video:

Minnesotans Mourn Pretti's Death and Call for Local Law Enforcement to Step Up “Minneapolis is not the soft target they thought it was,” a local entrepreneur told NOTUS of the Trump administration.

It's been an intense two days. Here are some deeply disturbing details people have shared with me.

But there's also another tale: that of the Battle for Minneapolis and a community that's showing America what it means to resist.

My husband doesn’t like updating his iPhone. But Apple can be sneaky. It updated overnight. He’s assaulted with Liquid Glass, complex screenshots, pointless dizzying animations. I try to help, try to calm and coach him. But I can’t ease his pain. One week in and he is sending me… Android fan memes.

Heading back home after covering another exciting CES exploring future tech, meeting awesome people, and working with the best crew in the biz. ❤️ @cnet #ces2026 #bestofces

Apple Glasses Could Have Something Meta is Missing | One More Thing YouTube video by CNET

Also watch the @bridgetcarey.bsky.social video I drop in for! youtu.be/V_sZ99xVFQ0?...

Got a look at the ROG Xbox Ally X today and Silksong. Controls on the Ally X felt great. Couldn’t explore the OS at all. Silksong was fun too but honestly just a brief demo and I have no idea what comes next -

Clues to Apple's Next TV Box Point to Big Video Game Possibilities I'm not often hyped about a TV streaming box, but the next Apple TV 4K could be different.

I’m not often hyped about a TV streaming box, but the next Apple TV 4K might be different. Could we see a bigger focus on gaming at the iPhone event? Today’s “One More Thing”: www.cnet.com/tech/home-en...

I will miss calling it the Microsoft National Broadcasting Company.

Apple's Rivals Are Betting Big on AI, but Tim Cook Doesn't Need to Worry Commentary: If you think the iPhone is in trouble, you're not looking at the full picture.

Big tech is in a race to make an AI gadget that can take down the iPhone. But Tim Cook doesn’t seem worried. If you look at where Apple is heading, the next stage of AI will still help the iPhone and Apple thrive (even if Siri needs more time): www.cnet.com/tech/apples-...

🤔 oh that would be me 😅

Apple Ads Aren't Cool Anymore. Here's What I Think Changed Commentary: You don't need an 81-slide deck to convince your parents to buy you a Mac for college. Apple should change its tone to get its advertising groove back.

Apple’s recently pulled down video (the parent presentation) is part of a pattern of problematic marketing from Apple, and it got me thinking about what is different now compared to the iconic “cool Apple” ads of the past: www.cnet.com/tech/apple-a...

I Never Saw Animatronics Like This: Epic Universe Team Reveals Challenges of Theme Park Tech Universal's new theme park pushes the boundaries of what's being done with animatronics today -- especially in extreme Florida heat. The design teams behind Epic Universe's attractions talk about brin...

Universal patented new tech to pull off wild animatronics at Epic Universe — and it’s amazing how robots interact with guests (Toothless is wild). Plus so many animatronics exposed to Florida heat! I spoke with Universal about it and, yes, drone dragons are in the works: www.cnet.com/tech/i-never...

My reporting this week has me in Florida at Epic Universe before the grand opening, learning how robot dragons work in 90 degree heat, and how AR visors are used to battle Bowser. The wild future tech you see in your feed is making it into theme parks — stay tuned, more coming soon #epicuniverse

My favorite rides? Wing Gliders left me sobbing happy tears. Monsters Unchained was a blast and animatronics wowed. Felt inspired by video games. Donkey Kong’s broken track effect is perfect cartoon fun. Battle at the Ministry is a technical marvel. I have no idea how that ride works, a true feat.

If you want to see some snippets be sure to check out CNET’s TikTok account where we were posting all weekend. But there are so many gems, I think if people want something different, this is it. The attention to real world detail is wild, and truly transporting.

My Trip Inside Epic Universe: The Line Between Real and Virtual Blurs Even More I got an early visit to one of the biggest new theme parks in decades, and it showed us a bit of the future -- for those who can afford it.

This morning’s written story on our experience by @scottstein.bsky.social — I personally just am wowed by just how many robotics are woven into everything, like seeing baby dragon Dart walk around freely, or how robots become major parts of stage shows blending actors, high-end screens and puppetry.

Our Reactions to Epic Universe Tech: Robots Rule the Theme Park | Tech Therapy YouTube video by CNET

We’re at a new level of tech in theme parks, where the fantastical comes to life by playing tricks on your mind, blending actors, robotics and display tech. In this Tech Therapy, myself and @scottstein.bsky.social go inside Epic Universe before it opens (no on-ride spoilers!)

My Trip Inside Epic Universe: The Line Between Real and Virtual Blurs Even More I got an early visit to one of the biggest new theme parks in decades, and it showed us a bit of the future -- for those who can afford it.

I got to take a look at Epic Universe, which opens May 22 - its best moments made me feel a sense of mixed reality. Thoughts on all of it, and a big video from @bridgetcarey.bsky.social and myself: www.cnet.com/tech/my-trip...
