Tech & InnovationThe Ternus Era At Apple Begins, But Cook Isn’t Leaving
Apple is shifting from a Cook-led operations and services era to a Ternus-led hardware and platform era—without losing Cook’s board-level influence. If you build on Apple’s ecosystem, assume tighter integration between silicon, devices, and on-device AI, and expect platform policy changes to be more tightly coupled to hardware roadmaps.
Tech & Innovation'Unarguably one of the very best wireless stereo speaker systems you can currently buy': KEF's LS Luxe is the real deal, if you can accept the placement fussiness and 'visual drama'
High-end consumer audio is drifting toward 'design object' status—performance plus visual drama and placement constraints as part of the value proposition. If you're building premium hardware, assume buyers will tolerate more setup friction when aesthetics and perceived tier jump meaningfully.
Tech & InnovationI hit 40 and knew my lifestyle had to change. This app is helping me power up, take more steps, and supercharge my water intake

Tech & InnovationI tested Sony's affordable RGB mini-LED TV, and it's the TV that finally convinced me the next-gen tech could beat OLED
Mini‑LED pushing into ‘good enough vs OLED’ at the entry level is a margin story, not just a picture-quality story. If you build apps or experiences for the living room, plan for a wider installed base of high‑brightness, high‑contrast panels over the next 1–2 upgrade cycles without the OLED price premium.
