Apple has filed for a patent for “Secure Audio Indicators For Electronic Devices.”One of the problems with smart glasses with cameras is that immoral folks wearing them can secretly film others. Apple wants to avoid such issues when (if?) it releases its own smart glasses — likely to be dubbed (d’uh!) “Apple Glasses.”The tech giant has filed for a patent for “Secure Audio Indicators For Electronic Devices.” In the patent filing Apple notes that electronic devices are often provided with cameras and microphones, with which images, vid...

Asset managers face a structural margin problem that conventional cost-cutting cannot solve: costs have scaled with assets, leaving margins little-changed despite AUM more than tripling over 15 years. Autonomous AI agents break this link. But the opportunity extends well beyond cost reduction.In distribution, AI can drive incremental annual inflows of 0.5% to 1% of AUM within three to five years. More efficient workflows can unlock new revenues, such as custom mandates for smaller clients.Capturing this opportunity means rebuilding core work...

Technology plays an important role in daily life for people of all ages, but the reasons people use it often vary by generation. Children use technology to learn, play and socialize. Parents rely on connected devices to manage busy households and stay informed. And grandparents increasingly use technology to keep in touch with family, access services and stay engaged with the world around them.To better understand these different habits, the team at Ooma reviewed current research on how children, parents and grandparents interact with techno...

MIT researchers developed FloatForm, a swarm of small aquatic robots that snap together like ants forming a raft, assembling into reconfigurable structures on the water.You don’t have to watch Kevin Costner’s Waterworld to know that for much of the world, the future will be increasingly flooded. As climate chaos causes oceans to swallow coastlands, and as surging water displaces and devastates communities, social survival will demand that people find ways to live and work with – and on – the water.Fortunately, scientists at the Massachus...

In a recent study, pupils using AI saw their average homework score rise by 18% across all subjects after six months. But come exam time, the same students scored 20% below their classmates who had not called on AI’s help.Task Output Surge: AI adoption increased homework scores by 18% while reducing completion time by 30%.Exam Score Drop: On unassisted, closed-book evaluations, AI users experienced a 20% decline in test scores within six months, with performance on high-stakes national exams dropping by 18% to 24% over two years.The Outsour...

ZHA’s Baku Expo City masterplan begins with 18,000 existing trees across a 198-hectare site beside the Baku Expo Center, and 92 percent of them are set to stay. The pine forest becomes the structure for a new urban district, with residential areas arranged as interconnected neighborhoods within the existing landscape. Landscaped corridors move between them, preserving much of the canopy while forming routes through the development.The plan responds to Baku’s population growth with housing that ranges from one-bedroom apartments to larger f...

Priced out of the American dream, Gen Z and millennials are delaying traditional milestones like homeownership, marriage, and starting families.For generations, the American Dream was clearly defined by a predictable sequence of milestones: buying a home, getting married, and raising a family. Today, skyrocketing living costs and shifting societal values have fundamentally disrupted this trajectory. According to recent data highlighted by [Fitt Insider](https://www.instagram.com/p/DcMmctIh4-i/?igsh=dXh1eXFubGdneWlo), homeownership among adul...
