Apple Intelligence actually shines in Apple Maps

Perhaps Apple’s AI fiasco wasn’t so much an issue with Apple Intelligence as much as it was Apple not understanding the assignment. Look at what Google has done with AI on its Pixel phones. The point of the Camera Coach is to be helpful to Pixel users who are shooting a photo or video. The Gemini AI model used will analyze the scene and will position the user to give the photo a better chance of becoming an epic shot. Examples of useful AI on the Pixel are the Camera Coach and the Magic Cue The Camera Coach will move the user which results in optimal framing of the photo. The Coach will also make suggestions about making adjustments to the settings to improve the lighting or the zoom level. This is a useful AI feature unlike, say, Apple’s Image Playground which really is not a useful AI tool for iPhone users. And then there is the Magic Cue which Google promoted heavily during its most recent Pixel event. While Jimmy Fallon might not have been the best choice to host the event, Google’s Senior VP of Platforms and Devices Rick Osterloh did a good job verbalizing what Google wants from its AI which is to be proactive, not reactive. And that takes us to the Pixel 10’s Magic Cue feature. When it starts working like it should, Magic Cue could be a game changer While it has had an auspicious start and hasn’t consistently turned up when and where expected, the Magic Cue is supposed to figure out what it is you are trying to do and help you do it. For example, let’s say you are calling Puddle Jumpers Airlines to make a change to your reservation. The Magic Cue will know what you are doing and will automatically bring up your reservation information so that this information is right at your fingertips when needed. Or suppose you’re texting your friend Jimmy Olsen, a photographer at a local newspaper in Metropolis where you’re flying into tomorrow. In his chat with you, Olsen asks what time your plane is supposed to arrive so he can pick you up. The Magic Cue is supposed to understand the request for this information and create a tap-to-insert text chip in Google Messages with all of your arrival info. See how useful and timesaving this is? Apple finally gets the point that AI needs to make features useful to users Perhaps Apple is finally getting the point. Apple has added Apple Intelligence infused search to several apps improving search on the Photos app, Apple Music and the Apple TV app. With iOS 26, Apple has added some new AI capabilities to Apple Maps including AI infused search. If you’ve updated your iPhone to iOS 26, when you open Apple Maps you might receive a popup that says, “Search The Way You Talk.” Underneath it reads, “Use natural language for searches like “Find cafes with free Wi-Fi.” The advantage with this feature, as we mentioned when we first brought it to your attention this past August, is that you can use conversational language to make requests. For example, instead of typing or speaking “Restaurants open late,” you might narrow your search to receive a more precise response by typing, “Show me some highly rated Italian restaurants that have outdoor seating and are open after 10 PM.” The bottom line is that the new feature allows you to give Apple Maps your query exactly as you might say it. As a result, the task is more easily understood by Apple Maps without requiring the use of filters to get the answer that you want. Do you find Apple’s AI infused Search to be useful? Absolutely as it makes it easier to find something in a app. No, I don’t notice any improvement. It’s too early to tell. Absolutely as it makes it easier to find something in a app. 100% No, I don’t notice any improvement. 0% It’s too early to tell. 0% Have you used “Search The Way You Talk” on Apple Maps yet? Did you find that it was a useful AI tool making it easier to request exactly what you’re searching for? The advantage is that instead of having to repeat your search request multiple times to receive a specific answer, you just have to type your search request as though you were having a conversation with the app. This way you can ask it to search something one time and get the answer you need.

Oscar Piastri breaks silence on controversial social media repost about McLaren favoring Lando Norris

Oscar Piastri has addressed his controversial Instagram repost of Bernie Ecclestone’s comments about McLaren favoring Lando Norris in the F1 drivers’ championship. The Australian driver couldn’t offer a concrete explanation for his action, which he claimed was accidental. Ecclestone had made his comments around two weeks ago. The ‘F1 Supremo’, who founded the Formula One Group in 1987, accused McLaren of a ‘British bias’ “McLaren prefers the English driver Norris,” the 94-year-old told Sport. de. “He has more star quality and marketing appeal for them, has more camera presence and publicity. That’s probably why it’s better for McLaren.” Oscar Piastri reposted an Instagram post on day one of the Las Vegas GP weekend, which had those quotes, before deleting it shortly after. It sparked controversy on social media, and after the qualifying session on Saturday, he was asked to address the matter. “I don’t know,” he told RN365. “I woke up this morning and saw it, so I don’t know, maybe I accidentally did it. Obviously, it was not intentional. But yeah, I didn’t know what had happened. So I don’t know.” Bernie Ecclestone’s comments came in the aftermath of the flipping of fortunes at McLaren. Oscar Piastri, the championship leader for most of the season, witnessed a mysterious drop in performance, while Lando Norris scripted his path to the top to lead the championship by 24 points. On Saturday, Norris clinched pole position for the Las Vegas Grand Prix in wet conditions, while Piastri could only manage P5. However, this time around, the Australian driver was affected by some misfortune in the form of yellow flags, which forced him to abort his final flying lap in Q3. Oscar Piastri admits to more complication in the championship fight after Las Vegas qualifying Coming into the Las Vegas GP weekend, Oscar Piastri knew he needed to finish ahead of Lando Norris at all three remaining races and the Sprint in Qatar to have a shot at winning the drivers’ championship. However, he encountered a big hurdle at the very first step, qualifying four positions behind his McLaren teammate in Sin City. But it’s Las Vegas after all, so a lot could happen. We’ve seen pretty entertaining races here the last couple of years, a lot of action, so hopefully I can get myself involved on the right side of that action and make up some ground tomorrow.” Piastri was surprised by the behavior of the tires in the wet qualifying session. The wheelspin, even in fifth and sixth gears, caught him off guard. However, the 50-lap race on Sunday is expected to be in dry conditions, with the 24-year-old hoping for at least a podium finish.

US government shutdown: why the Democrats ‘caved’

The longest government shutdown in US history ended with a whimper, said Nitish Pahwa on Slate. For 43 days, Congress had been in a stalemate as Senate Democrats withheld support for a government funding bill in a bid to force the Republicans to extend Covid-era healthcare subsidies. The subsidies are set to expire next month, at which point the average health insurance premiums of millions of Americans will more than double. But last week, enough Democrats eight senators “caved”, allowing the budget to pass in return for the mere promise of a future vote on whether to revive the subsidies. ‘Angry activists’ How pathetic, said Jamelle Bouie The Democrats had been winning the stand-off. Polls showed that many voters blamed the GOP for the shutdown. Even as senators were preparing to capitulate, President Trump was booed by a crowd at an American football game. Talk about stealing defeat from the jaws of victory. The Democrats were right to back down, said Michael Powell in The Atlantic. The shutdown was hurting too many people. Poor families were going hungry without food stamps. Federal employees were struggling to pay mortgages and bills without paycheques. Unpaid air traffic controllers meant flight cancellations. The Democrats, who take pride in defending the less fortunate, couldn’t sustain their position. It’s always the way with government shutdowns, said The Washington Post. Parties instigate them to placate “angry activists”, only to have to fold, prompting a backlash from those same activists. Democrats ‘may have dodged a bullet’ The recriminations among Democrats have indeed been bitter, said Ed Kilgore in New York Magazine. There have been calls for the replacement of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. But “losing” the subsidy-extension battle is no disaster for the party. On the contrary, the Democrats “may have dodged a bullet”. Securing the extension would have neutralised one of the GOP’s key political vulnerabilities: the Republicans have “emerged from the shutdown row having abundantly displayed their lack of interest in soaring healthcare costs”. That’s not a good look at a time when “affordability” has become such a big election issue, and voters will remember it when their insurance premiums soar. “The short-term stakes of the shutdown fight may soon be overshadowed by more enduring public perceptions” of what the two parties stand for.

Weeks after John Elkann’s ‘talk less’ remark to Ferrari drivers, Charles Leclerc doesn’t hold back in his criticism of the car

Charles Leclerc shared flat-out criticism about Ferrari’s years-long issue with its F1 car, which has denied him performance in wet conditions, such as those at the Las Vegas GP qualifying on Saturday. The Scuderia had mixed but dismal results in qualifying, with Lewis Hamilton eliminated in Q1 in dead last, while Leclerc made it to Q3, but could only manage P9. After the team’s double DNF at the Brazilian GP two weeks ago, Ferrari chairman John Elkann had criticized the drivers, urging them to ‘talk less and focus on driving.’ Ahead of the Las Vegas GP weekend, both Leclerc and Hamilton had highlighted that the criticism was in a positive light and promised better results. Unfortunately, it all went downhill this weekend. Ferrari had decent pace in the practice sessions, with Leclerc topping FP1 on Friday. However, none of the three free practice sessions had wet conditions. FP2 was a slightly damp session, but nowhere near the qualifying conditions. In qualifying, both Ferrari drivers had trouble with getting their tires in the right window, especially Charles Leclerc, who found himself in the runoff areas more often. In a post-qualifying interview, the Monegasque blamed Ferrari’s lack of adaptability to wet conditions, stating that it has been an unsolvable problem that has existed since he joined the team in 2019. “Since I joined the team, we’ve been struggling massively at finding the grip in those conditions. It’s usually frustrating because it’s probably been my biggest strength in the junior categories. We are doing something wrong. I have no idea what that is because we’ve turned the car upside down.” Charles Leclerc expanded on how former teammate Carlos Sainz, who had driven for Red Bull, Renault, and McLaren, and current teammate Lewis Hamilton, who brought a wealth of experience from his time at McLaren and Mercedes, gave their inputs to help Ferrari’s setup in wet conditions, but to no avail. “We’ve had Lewis and obviously Carlos before that, who joined from the other teams that will tell us the fittings they had with the other cars, but it’s just extremely difficult to find the grip with our car, and very unpredictable as well, which causes us to do a lot of mistakes. It’s not that we are not trying because we’re the team which tried absolutely everything, but for some reason, we haven’t found our way yet.” Charles Leclerc ‘won’t miss’ the Ferrari SF25 in the new technical era from 2026 Charles Leclerc found the cold and wet conditions during the Las Vegas GP qualifying to be too tricky. However, he eventually made peace with the underwhelming result, stating, “It is what it is.” The Monegasque also spoke about Ferrari’s pursuit of second place in the constructors’ championship, which now feels far-fetched. Mercedes built a 36-point lead over the Scuderia after the Brazilian GP, and on Saturday, George Russell qualified in P4, ensuring a great starting position to extend its lead in the race on Sunday. “I mean, we’re fighting for third or maybe second, but honestly, second is going to be difficult for the constructors’ [championship]. What I want to do is to be fighting for wins, so surely it’s not a car I will miss.” Though Kimi Antonelli qualified in P17, he will start ahead of Lewis Hamilton. So, the best result for Ferrari at the Las Vegas GP would be minimizing the extension of Mercedes’ lead, with Charles Leclerc needing to do the heavy lifting.

Spivey: The Hurts disrespect must cease

“Uncompromising”. It was the first word that came to mind after a report surfaced about players and coaches being frustrated with Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. Before the season, I interviewed Birds legend and radio analyst Mike Quick. Here’s what Quick said about Hurts. “He’s uncompromising in who he is and he’s going to be that person. And if the coaches don’t like it, even if it’s some of his guys don’t like it, he’s an uncompromising, excellent leader.” Someone at NCC doesn’t like the Super Bowl MVP’s meticulous mentality. They’re not a fan of how a bona fide, perennial winner moves. He ticks off individuals who have benefited from his success but in essence, also accuses the QB of insubordination. This is all while his squad is 8-2, running away with their division, and currently the NFC’s number one seed holding head-to-head tiebreakers over all the conference’s contenders. Detroit, Green Bay, Tampa Bay, and the L.A. Rams were all losers to Philly. Yet, the sixth-year field general’s character has been questioned despite his résumé and current position in which the team currently sits. Don’t get me wrong, no QB is above critique and the offense needs some work. That being said, Hurts has earned and deserves much more respect than he has been given. Especially more than most other QBs who haven’t won a damn thing in the NFL. “He does things the right way. The way he comes to work, the way he goes about his work”, Quick added. He’s the kind of dude that you would want to have to run anything. If you have something that you really covet, this is the kind of guy that you could put in charge of.” I paraphrase a reference from the show “Raising Kanan” when Raq told her then-teenager, “You may hate my methods, but you love the results!” But around here unfortunately, it’s not if you win, it’s how you win. Perhaps there’s too much heat on first-year offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, who has been getting grilled like slabs of ribs at a cookout on Belmont Plateau. Therefore, aim the barrel of the gun back at the QB, whom many still believe his accolades are one too many. For a quarterback who has won as much as Hurts, ‘Iggles’ fans who still haven’t gotten over replacing him with Carson Wentz would much rather take their chances with backup Tanner McKee. Some are even looking for ways to dump the 27-year-old’s contract. It is similar to the fans of James Bond 007 clutching their pearls, envisioning the spy cast as a Black man. The thought of actors like Idris Elba, Damson Idris, Aaron Pierre, or Regé-Jean Page taking over such a role would be deemed as sacrilegious. Of all people, former NFL QB and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky candidly echoed the lack of respect for Hurts. “All this dude does is literally everything that everybody begs every other QB to do or knocks them for not doing”, Orlovsky said, also referring to the 51-14 record since 2022. “We kill guys. Joe Burrow, does he win enough? Dak Prescott, does he win enough? Matthew Stafford didn’t win enough in Detroit. Josh Allen doesn’t win enough”, Orlovsky continued. “He can’t win the big game. Lamar Jackson can’t. All Hurts does is everything that we beg for those quarterbacks to do.” Winning comes in many different sizes, shapes, and packages. This fanbase, let alone society, still has such a long way to go to understand that, especially with such a spotlighted position as quarterback. And as for the ones who don’t like it down in South Philly, if Jalen Hurts is so stubborn, so insubordinate, I dare Eagles ownership and management to find a team where he would be open to waiving his no-trade clause. If not, the disrespect must cease.

AI Crypto Coins vs Community Tokens: 2025 Outlook

Crypto Presales AI crypto coins rise fast, but Noomez shows how community tokens gain strength through structured stages, burns, and growing presale momentum. Some sectors start to heat up long before the rest of the market notices. AI crypto coins have pulled a lot of early interest, but community-driven tokens are beginning to form their own wave of momentum. Traders watching both groups want to know where the next strong move could come from and identify the best AI crypto coins 2025. Noomez enters that discussion as a fresh example of how fast attention can grow when a project builds steady progress from day one. How AI Crypto Coins Built Their Early Momentum AI-linked tokens gained attention because they tie into a clear narrative: traders expect growth around automation tools, faster data processing, and models that can run tasks without manual input. Early AI projects showed quick spikes because the idea was simple to understand and easy to follow. Most of these tokens grew during moments when the broader market wanted something new that felt tied to real utility. AI tags alone didn’t create lasting strength, but the first wave did help show which projects could build long-term traction. Tokens with steady updates, transparent supply, and active development kept more interest than those that relied only on the label. The early surge wasn’t random. It came from traders looking for sectors that felt fresh and had room for new leaders. That search is still active today, which is why AI-linked coins continue to pull attention whenever the market starts heating up. Why Community Tokens Continue to Grow (And How Noomez Coin Fits In) Community-driven tokens often run the strongest when early buyers see clear progress at each step. Noomez has been showing that pattern since its presale opened three weeks ago. The project follows a 28-stage rollout where every stage has a fixed price, a set supply, and burns that remove unsold tokens. Stage 4 is the current entry window, and the cost stays at $0. 0000187 until Stage 5 begins. Once that happens, the price jumps again, and the Noom Gauge locks in another completed segment. Activity in Stage 4 has been rising faster each day as traders try to secure cheaper entries before the next bracket resets. The presale also pays up to 66% APY through Noom Rewards, giving early buyers movement on their stake before launch. With a 250% bonus available through the BONUS250 code and a fixed supply of 280 billion tokens, Noomez is building the kind of early momentum community coins rely on when demand starts picking up. What Current Market Behavior Says About Sector Strength for 2025 Rising Presale Demand Traders are moving toward staged presales as the best AI crypto to invest in because each round creates a clear decision point. Noomez shows that shift with Stage 4 filling faster than the earlier stages as buyers try to lock in the lower price. Clear Progress Markers Tokens with visible milestones tend to gain attention quicker. The Noom Gauge makes every completed stage public, which helps traders see momentum building instead of guessing. Pressure From Price Floors Projects that raise the cost step by step often create stronger early movement. Noomez follows that model closely, with the price locked at $0. 0000187 until Stage 5 pushes it higher. Stronger Interest in Scarcity Markets lean toward tokens that reduce supply as demand rises. Noomez burns unsold tokens after each stage, which tightens the structure and adds pressure for buyers who wait too long. Where Hidden Potential Emerges Before the Crowd (With NZ Coin as a Live Example) Some of the strongest early opportunities form when a project creates anticipation long before launch day. Noomez builds that through two major Vault events that sit far ahead in the rollout. Stage 14 opens the first Vault, while Stage 28 unlocks the final and largest reward. These checkpoints sit on top of the Stage X Million system, where every completed stage triggers its own reward pool. The amounts grow with each round, which keeps buyers active as the Gauge moves from one stage to the next. This setup matters because it gives the presale constant forward pressure. Traders who follow early momentum look for structured incentives that don’t rely on outside catalysts, and Noomez offers them directly in the rollout. Activity in Stage 4 shows that buyers are reacting to these long-term triggers early, not waiting for the late stages to set the tone. Hidden potential usually appears when early progress becomes steady, and Noomez is reaching that point now.
