In December 2023, I wrote an article exploring Apple CEO Tim Cook’s most likely successors, because there will come a day when he steps aside as chief executive at the iPhone maker. I wrote the piece in response to rare comments Cook had made—to Dua Lipa, no less—revealing that Apple has “very detailed succession plans” in preparation for his departure. Cook tried to alleviate investor fears of a near-term departure by saying that he still planned to be at Apple “for a while.” But as I noted at the time, that’s a subjective phrase—and one Cook used nearly 18 months…

An Nvidia RTX 5090 graphics card. | Photo by Tom Warren/The Verge Every so often, Central Computers – one of the last remaining dedicated Silicon Valley computer stores – lets subscribers know it’s managed to obtain a small shipment of AMD graphics cards. Today, it informed me that I could now purchase a $600 Radeon RX 9070 XT for $850 – a $250 markup. It’s not alone. I just checked every major US retailer and street prices on eBay, and I regret to inform you: the great GPU shortage has returned. Many AMD cards are being marked up $100, $200,…

In one of the strangest launches we’ve seen in a while, Slate Auto, the reportedly Jeff Bezos-backed electric vehicle startup, unveiled its first EV, the Slate Truck. Notably, the vehicle is capable of a claimed 150 miles (241 km) of range at a starting price of less than $20,000, assuming federal clean vehicle tax credits continue to exist. Slate caused a lot of social media froth when it parked a pair of styling concepts (not functional vehicles) in Venice, California, advertising bizarre fake businesses. Today, the company unveiled the vehicle to the press at an event near the Long Beach…

Across both chambers, 58 women — a record high — are serving. This is just two seats away from gender parity, which would make California the largest global economy — and one of only four U.S. states — to have a legislature that is 50% women. In the Assembly, for the first time, a majority of committees are chaired by women. For me, it is a…

There’s a moment in many great recordings where the world just … drops out. Where the silence speaks volumes. Because it’s not silence. It’s subtraction. It’s the intentional absence of sound as a multiplier of mood. But achieving atmospheric recalibration requires dedicated hardware to place you in a space. That’s why Bowers & Wilkins comprehensively re-engineered the latest generation of its Px7 wireless over-ear headphones to actively suppress external distractions without dulling music’s emotional immediacy. The Px7 S3 is a Bluetooth headphone with a lower profile and lower distortion. It’s richer dynamics wrapped in streamlined design language. It’s immediately recognizable…
