A Google breakup is a step closer, but what would it mean for you?
|
The judge has yet to make a final decision, and Google can also appeal, so the issue will continue to rumble on
|
The U.S. Department of Justice indicated on Tuesday that it's considering a possible breakup of Google to end its monopolistic practices. But how would such an outcome affect you? Well, depending on the exact nature of the breakup, it could lead to more competition via new independent companies, potentially resulting in better online services and innovation as they compete for users. You might also see the emergence of a wider range of specialized online services as smaller firms focus on niche areas. Companies could adopt better privacy practices regarding data collection and usage, too. On the flip side, competition could lead to pricier online services, and you might need to use multiple platforms to access services that were previously part of Google, resulting in a more complex user experience ... |

iOS 18 can aid hurricane prep. iPhone users should make sure they have it
|
Whether for Hurricane Milton or any other approaching storm, here’s a valuable tip for iPhone users facing such hazardous weather
|
iPhone users close to an approaching storm should make sure they have iOS 18 loaded on their handset. That’s because it includes a new Messages via satellite feature that lets you send and receive text messages without cellular and Wi-Fi coverage. It means you can stay connected with friends, family, and emergency services even in areas where power might be lost. To access Messages via satellite, you’ll need an iPhone 14 or later running iOS 18. Due to the limitations of satellite communication, sending and receiving messages via satellite could take longer than traditional texting. The feature is free for two years after activating your supported handset. Android phones such as Google's new Pixel 9 range also have emergency satellite features in the continental U.S. ... |

Dali’s IO-8 headphones promise ‘audiophile’ active noise cancellation |
The Danish brand's new ANC headphones come with a more reasonable price tag than the company's $1,300 flagship IO-12 cans |
The new IO-8 wireless headphones have been designed to cancel noise without affecting sound quality, Dali claims. The IO-8's acoustic architecture borrows heavily from the company's IO-12 flagship headphones, which are among the best wireless cans around, according to Digital Trends' review. The new headphones’ frequency response has been pegged at an excellent 10Hz-43kHz, offering more than enough low-end room to deliver plenty of sub-bass. Design-wise, the IO-8 headphones use premium materials that include anodized aluminum and ear pads made of leather. They can be preordered for $900 starting October 8 in Iron Black and Caramel White, and will ship in late November ... |

Details about the storyline are under wraps, though Matt Damon is apparently in talks to star in the film — Damon and Nolan previously worked together on Oppenheimer and Interstellar ... |

Alien: Isolation sequel announced on game's 10th anniversary
|
Some are expecting a survival-horror game played in first-person where you're stalked by a highly intelligent Xenomorph |
Alien: Isolation is surely one of the best horror games out there, partly for the way it perfectly captures the mood, environment, and creeping dread from the first film. To the delight of fans, the Xenomorph is ready to burst once more in a sequel, as revealed in an announcement on the game’s 10th anniversary. Alien: Isolation creative director Al Hope announced Alien: Isolation 2 on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, saying that the title is “in early development.” But as Digital Trends noted, “early development” is a vague term, but it’s likely to be several years from launch. Still, here’s what we know so far about Alien: Isolation 2 ... |
