Intel has finally crossed the last threshold of artificial intelligence — re-creating the adorably grungy and slightly out-of-sync sounds of your high school rock band. The chipmaker pulled out all the stops at its Computex keynote in Taipei on Tuesday, with its senior vice president and GM of client computing, Gregory Bryant, unveiling brand-new eighth-gen …

Good day, cheeps! A few housekeeping notes before we dive in… First, CNET has added a new button to my toolset, one designed to make the reading experience easier. So, for example, I might tell you that GOG has the X-Com-style strategy game Xenonauts (Win/Mac/Linux) free for a limited time. (Steam sells it for $25.) You can click that link, …

This story is part of WWDC 2022, CNET’s complete coverage from and about Apple’s annual developers conference. The Apple TV 4K and iTunes are getting support for Dolby Atmos. Should you care?

This story is part of WWDC 2022, CNET’s complete coverage from and about Apple’s annual developers conference. If you were looking to Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference for big game-changing leaps or new hardware, you might have walked away a little disappointed.

Odds are that you’ve been using the same version of Gmail for the past few years, but Google is coming out with a new version of Gmail that looks and feels very different from the current one (though with features reminiscent of Google Inbox). It’s got new buttons, new “hover actions” and new features like the ability to snooze an email …

More battery life. We all want it, but batteries aren’t improving, at least not quickly enough. So companies have to find battery savings elsewhere. But when it comes to laptops, chipmaker Intel may have just found a veritable jackpot. According to the company, Intel’s new Low Power Display Technology will let a standard lightweight laptop run up to 28 hours …

Oculus says it’ll preview the next five years of Virtual Reality at Oculus Connect 5, on Sept. 26-27 in San Jose, California.
