With the deal stuck in legal limbo, T-Mobile on Thursday used its latest Un-carrier event and the promise of a combined 5G network to make its most compelling …

The core wars are incomprehensible to many people. But those people don’t need to work in four (or more) of Adobe’s applications at the same time, encode and decode 4K (or bigger) video, render high-quality 3D stills or animations, mix complex multitrack audio or perform any number of other tasks that absorb CPU cycles like a power sponge. If you …

Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 augmented reality headset, which was introduced at Mobile World Congress back in February, is now available to buy, the company announced Thursday. Earlier this year, Microsoft showed CNET the next-generation headset up-close. The self-contained, comfortable flip-up device has no controllers.

The Matrix PowerWatch 2 is the sequel to a watch I wore a couple of years ago made by Matrix Industries, a thermoelectrics startup in Menlo Park whose headquarters I visited last year. The original PowerWatch worked, but wasn’t great. This version, which I first got a peek at nearly a year ago, feels a lot better. It’s finally close to being an everyday watch …

YouTube is offering desktop users a way to take the wheel that steers what YouTube plays next, and it’s also morphing the look of its homepage on desktop web browsers and its tablet apps.

In a statement provided to CNET, an AT&T spokesperson called out T-Mobile’s newest pledges for first responders and education as a “marketing stunt.” “We have a deep and genuine commitment to connecting first responders and using technology to enrich …

Microsoft has been using artificial intelligence technology to teach computers to automatically create closed-captions for voice chats and meetings, teach apps to create to-dos just by listening to you talk, and translate what people are saying in different languages in real time. Now the company is taking on background noise. The software giant said Monday that it’s come up with new …

Google just announced quantum supremacy, a milestone in which the radically different nature of a quantum computer lets it vastly outpace a traditional machine. But Microsoft expects progress of its own by redesigning the core element of quantum computing, the qubit.
