  • All the Upgrades Your iPhone's Music App Got With iOS 26
    November 6, 2025, 7:58 PM EST. Apple's iOS 26 brings notable upgrades to Apple Music, including the upgraded AutoMix crossfade, which times and blends tracks for smoother transitions. In testing, AutoMix's effectiveness varied by genre, pairing well with pop and rap but sounding odd with rock or alternative tracks. It can be turned off in settings if you don't like it. iOS 26 also adds Lyric translation and pronunciation features to help you understand songs in other languages. Apple Music remains behind Spotify in paid subscribers, but these updates help narrow the gap by adding new capabilities. Some features are limited to select tracks, so results may vary. Overall, iOS 26 signals progress for Apple Music.
  • iOS 26.1 adds swipe-to-skip gesture in Apple Music MiniPlayer
    November 6, 2025, 7:56 PM EST. Apple's iOS 26.1 introduces a new swipe gesture for the Apple Music MiniPlayer, letting you change tracks by swiping left or right. The gesture works whether the MiniPlayer is fully expanded above the tab bar or tucked beside it, with Liquid Glass visuals and subtle haptic feedback when the track changes. Swiping left goes to the next song; swiping right goes to the previous one, offering a quicker alternative to the normal Now Playing controls. If you've updated to iOS 26.1, give the new gesture a try in the Music app.
  • OpenAI's $38 Billion AWS Deal Signals Diversified AI Infrastructure
    November 6, 2025, 7:54 PM EST. OpenAI has struck a $38 billion cloud deal with AWS, expanding beyond its prior Azure ties and signaling a broader AI infrastructure strategy. Led by Sam Altman, OpenAI aims to diversify compute by engaging all three major cloud hyperscalers-to reduce reliance on any single provider. The arrangement with AWS will give OpenAI access to hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GB200/GB300 GPUs across AWS clusters, accelerating both training and inference. This follows OpenAI's Bedrock onboarding and its 2025 push to partner with Google Cloud and other clouds (including Oracle), mirroring rivals like Anthropic. In short, the deal underscores the urgency of diversified cloud capacity in AI development and could reshape competitive dynamics among cloud giants.
  • Blue Origin targets second New Glenn launch on November 9 from Cape Canaveral
    November 6, 2025, 7:52 PM EST. Blue Origin plans a second attempt at its New Glenn mega-rocket, targeting Sunday, November 9, from Cape Canaveral's Launch Complex 36. After a mostly successful January flight, the second stage reached orbit but the first stage exploded on return. This mission will carry paid cargo, including NASA's ESCAPADE twins to Mars and a Viasat tech demonstrator, underscoring the test's mission-critical nature. The cautious approach reflects safety and reliability as Blue Origin progresses toward routine heavy-lift launches. If successful, the flight would demonstrate orbital capability for commercial customers and bolster the company's path toward more ambitious missions.
  • West Hollywood Cancels Citywide Fiber Expansion as Costs Balloon to $42 Million
    November 6, 2025, 7:50 PM EST. West Hollywood's City Council canceled a plan to expand citywide broadband after the projected cost ballooned to tens of millions. The effort comes from a 2016 plan to pursue a municipally driven fiber network, with fiber already along Santa Monica Boulevard but not citywide. In 2023, the city began negotiating with Plenary to extend the network, initially expecting to contribute about $25-$28 million, a figure later rising to as much as $42 million due to construction costs and labor. The council dropped the agreement at the Oct. 20 meeting. Despite near-universal access in theory, digital equity gaps persist: many residents still face limited, unreliable, or unaffordable fiber-based service, according to IT manager Eugene Tsipis.
