  • M5 iPad Pro Review: Tomorrow's tablet today
    November 12, 2025, 6:26 PM EST. The M5 iPad Pro replaces the M4 iPad Pro, maintaining most specs while upgrading the processor, adding Wi-Fi 7 support and fast charging. A 60W adapter can bring the tablet to about 50% charge in ~30 minutes.

  • Google Unveils Private AI Compute: Cloud-Powered, Privacy-First AI
    November 12, 2025, 6:24 PM EST. Google reveals Private AI Compute, a cloud-based processing platform that brings on-device privacy to the cloud. By pairing Gemini models with strict privacy safeguards, it aims for faster, smarter AI without exposing user data. The system resembles Apple's Private Cloud Compute, underscoring a industry push toward privacy in large-scale AI. Key components include a unified Google tech stack powered by custom TPUs, Titanium Intelligence Enclaves (TIE) for added protection, encrypted connections with remote attestation, and a zero access assurance that even Google cannot view processed data. Built on the company's Secure AI Framework (SAIF) and Privacy Principles, Private AI Compute promises improved device features while keeping data private, potentially delivering quicker responses, smarter suggestions, and more personalized results without data leaving your control.
