The Power On newsletter from Mark Gurman says the internal ad program is gaining traction and could launch in 2026, letting businesses pay for more prominent placements within Maps search. Gurman compares it to App Store search ads, with targeted keywords, while Bloomberg notes AI could help keep results relevant. Critics fear consumer backlash, given the iPhone's existing role as a platform for Apple services and the broader move toward web-like ads in Apple News. A spring debut in iOS 26.x is possible, but timing remains uncertain.

This article outlines 7 practical ways to use AI in a raise negotiation: define your value in business terms, quantify impact in ROI, efficiency, innovation, frame contributions in managerial terms, prepare with data and scenarios, practice with AI-generated simulations, align with organizational goals, and maintain authenticity in every conversation. While AI supports analysis and preparation, the actual negotiation stays between people, requiring trust, honesty, and vulnerability. By mapping projects, presenting evidence, and building a clear investment case, you can enter the conversation with confidence and a stronger position.

Traditional defenses rely on the Whipple Shield, but their aluminum layers add weight, cost, and can loft fragments that worsen debris. Atomic-6 counters with Space Armor, a new protective system built from a proprietary polymer tile composite developed over 18 months. The tiles are self-adhesive, 1 ft by 1 ft by 1 in, and configurable up to 3.3 ft square. They claim protection against impacts above 4.35 miles per second (7 km/s) with far less secondary debris. Variants include a lighter, thinner form for smaller debris (up to 3 mm) and a heavier version for larger debris (up to 12.5 mm). If adopted, Space Armor could reduce armor mass while boosting survivability for satellites and missions.

Apple's iOS 26.1 introduces a new Rapid Security Response system that can push firmware fixes in the background, potentially without reboots, reducing exposure to spyware and mobile threats. The update, part of iOS 26.1, extends Background Security features that work silently, unlike Android's more fragmented update cadence where vendors like Samsung lag behind Pixel's monthly cycle. In addition, iPhone users gain a long-requested control to disable the Lock Screen camera swipe, addressing privacy concerns. As Android battles with One UI 8 and version fragmentation, Apple's move highlights a shift toward seamless, user-friendly security updates across a billion-plus devices.

October 26, 2025, 10:44 AM EDT. India's heaviest launch vehicle, the LVM3, has been rolled to the launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, for the CMS-03 mission. Designated LVM3-M5, the rocket will place the about 4,400 kg CMS-03 into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO), boosting multi-band communication across India and adjacent regions. This fifth operational flight underscores LVM3's role as India's workhorse heavy-lift launcher, following the Chandrayaan-3 success. Pre-launch checkouts, fueling, and rehearsals are underway ahead of the November 2 liftoff. The mission will strengthen space-based communications for civil, strategic, and maritime users and reinforce ISRO's roadmap for future deep-space and human spaceflight endeavors.
