An elderly woman walked by, but stopped when she noticed me and insisted that I help her find her dog. She kept telling me it wouldn’t take that long and that I wouldn’t miss the bus.

• Mathmatical: I had a lot of online boyfriends who had my address and would send me presents like stuffed animals or cute jewelry or video games. That probably was a bad idea. There’s one in particular that looking back I’m like wtf?!

Antarctica’s surface looks motionless, but vibrations from earthquakes constantly travel through the ice and the planet beneath it. At the South Pole, researchers have turned that apparent stillness into a uniquely sensitive listening post by installing two seismometers 8,000 feet below the ice—the deepest instruments of their kind ever deployed.

Techmeme surfaced Thomas Claburn’s report in The Register on a newly published challenge to Microsoft’s topological-quantum-computing claims. The immediate controversy involves two Python mistakes and data that did not appear in Microsoft’s original paper. The larger issue is more consequential: when software decides which experimental regions count as evidence, a plotting or filtering choice can become part of the scientific instrument.

This summary covers The Economist’s June 13th, 2026 Business article listed in the contents as Apple's second bite and published under the headline A second bite.

Apple’s first attempt to add generative AI to the iPhone was a conspicuous failure. Apple Intelligence, announced in 2024, was supposed to turn Siri into a capable personal assistant with access to a user’s messages, apps and other private information. Two years later, many of those promises remain unfulfilled. Apple is now trying again with a strategy that is less technologically ambitious but potentially more commercially effective: let Google supply the underlying AI models while Apple controls how people use them.

Sound with a Destination

Most speakers fill a room. Headphones solve that problem by putting the sound source next to the listener’s ears, but they also isolate the listener and require a wearable device. The Scientific American Advances article “Pocket of Sound” describes a third possibility: delivering audible sound to one small location while leaving the surrounding space quiet.

Software-as-a-Service once appeared to be one of technology’s safest business models. A provider could develop an application once, distribute it cheaply over the internet and collect recurring fees from every employee who used it. Artificial intelligence now threatens that formula from four directions: the largest AI laboratories, AI-native startups, companies building their own software and SaaS incumbents trying to reinvent themselves. The industry is not about to disappear, but its most profitable assumptions are becoming much less secure.
