  • Microsoft Edge's Copilot Mode adds more AI features like Actions and Journeys
    October 23, 2025, 6:38 PM EDT. Microsoft is expanding Edge with Copilot Mode, turning Copilot into a web-facing assistant in a new tab chat window for questions, searches, or URLs. It ties AI responses to Edge results, can summarize across all open tabs, and even compare products. A new agentic Copilot Actions feature can unsubscribe from marketing emails or book a reservation, though Microsoft warns it's for research and may misfire. Preview-style Journeys groups your browsing history into topics and suggests what to search next. You enable Copilot Mode by toggling a switch in Edge (and enable Actions and Journeys in Preview in the US). As with other AI tools, it may make mistakes, so use it with caution.
  • Microsoft Unveils Mico: The Clippy-Inspired AI in Copilot Fall Release
    October 23, 2025, 6:36 PM EDT. Microsoft unveiled its Copilot Fall Release, introducing new features and a face for its AI chatbot: Mico (Microsoft Copilot). The rollout positions Mico as the first official Clippy successor in an AI era, with an expressive, customizable presence designed to make voice conversations feel more natural. It can respond with colors and animation beyond audio, and is marketed around real talk that adapts to your vibe. The character is optional, giving users control over their experience. Reports mention an Easter egg where tapping Mico can temporarily turn it into Clippy. Watch the full announcement at the 42-minute mark to see Mico take center stage in the Copilot Fall Release.
  • Iridium: SpaceX-EchoStar Spectrum Deal Disrupts Satellite Market, Forcing a Pivot
    October 23, 2025, 5:50 PM EDT. Industry watchers say the SpaceX-EchoStar spectrum deal valued at about $17 billion could upend the traditional satellite market, pressuring incumbents and networks to pivot. Iridium Communications argues the agreement will disrupt the status quo, forcing strategic shifts across satellite spectrum, capacity and partnerships. Meanwhile, Apple partner Globalstar is reportedly weighing a sale around $10 billion, adding fuel to a potential consolidation wave. The deal could accelerate moves toward mega-constellations, more flexible spectrum sharing, and new service models for maritime, aviation, and remote connectivity. Analysts say Iridium's stance could be seen as a call for more resilient business models and faster investment in next-gen telemetry, IoT, and broadband via satellite. Expect continued scrutiny of regulatory approvals and who controls critical spectrum in an evolving space economy.
  • AI gun-detection mishap partly caused by human error, officials say
    October 23, 2025, 5:48 PM EDT. Officials say an AI gun-detection system at Kenwood High flagged a bag of chips as a threat, prompting police with guns drawn. The incident was partly due to human error and relied on human verification after the alert. School leadership says the software worked as designed, but ongoing reviews of the program are standard practice. Advocates urge stronger safeguards to prevent similar false positives, and call for accountability to ensure no student is accosted over a snack. The event underscores the tension between AI alerts and cautious response in schools, and the need for clear policies and oversight to avoid harm.
  • How Intel Could Leverage Nvidia's Dominance in Q4 and 2026
    October 23, 2025, 5:46 PM EDT. Intel's strategy discussed centers on making the CPU a pivotal node in AI workloads, leveraging Nvidia's dominance rather than chasing a GPU/AI-ASIC race single-handedly. The speakers suggest CPUs remain essential in data centers and could become the preferred Nvidia-compatible head node, unlocking upside even as Nvidia leads. Intel's foundry ambitions-14A node with Panther Lake and Clearwater Forest on 18A-are framed as critical for external customer wins and wafer-scale traction. Policymaker attention on the foundry business underscores the strategic stakes. The conversation hints that early customer engagement with PDKs, validated process quality, and strong product roadmaps could drive progress, even if Intel maintains some GPU/ASIC plans for inference in parallel.
