RTX 50 SUPER delayed talk is back, and it changes the math for anyone trying to time a GPU upgrade. Rumors from Gazlog say NVIDIA has postponed the GeForce RTX 5000 SUPER series indefinitely, even as current RTX 5000 cards stay scarce and expensive. None of this is confirmed by NVIDIA. But if the refresh really is on ice, ask yourself if you can live with today’s pricing and availability, or whether you should hold off longer. Some of the same chatter also claims the RTX 5000 series could remain the main lineup until the RTX 6000 series arrives in…

Google built its empire on media dollars. Now, it’s eyeing the other side of the equation — creativity — with AI as its way in.The signs have been piling up over the last 18 months but the clearest signal yet came last week at the annual Google Cloud Next. In Las Vegas, the giant unveiled an expanded suite of content creation tools: Veo 2 for video, Imagen 3 for images, Lyria for music and the Chirp 3 model for custom voice tech, all designed to turn minimal input into maximum output. Execs did this throughout the event not just by…

WPP has rolled out more than 28,000 AI agents, but scale is only part of the story. The other: how to hardwire control into these systems even before they’re autonomous.That’s the job of Daniel Hulme, the holdco’s chief AI officer. He’s not focused on flashy demos or one-off tools. He’s trying to engineer the infrastructure to keep tens of thousands of AI agents from drifting out of line — inside the company and beyond its digital walls. This isn’t theoretical. WPP is already deploying agents to handle media planning, content generation, analytics and optimization. For now, their capabilities are limited…

A 610Hz QHD gaming monitor panel is the kind of spec that makes even jaded PC gamers pause. If it ships as promised, it could make motion look cleaner during the moments that decide a round, when you’re flicking, tracking, and correcting in a split second. What makes this one notable is the combo. It’s a 27-inch 2560×1440 LCD panel, so it’s chasing extreme speed without dropping down to 1080p. That matters if you like the sharper look of 1440p but still play competitively. It’s still early, though. This is being shown as a panel demo by Tianma at CES…

If the last five years have taught us anything, it’s that chaos may be tough, trying and certainly worrisome — but it’s ultimately manageable. That’s the general sentiment among brand marketers, ad agency execs and industry analysts when you ask them to make sense of the current economic landscape amid tariff back-and-forth. “I’m expecting chaos,” said Jeremy Whitt, executive media director at Hanson Dodge. “One thing I want to make sure that we don’t have too short of a memory of what happened back on March 15, 2020.”  Marketers should remember what happened in the early days of Covid and operate in…

OpenAI introduced an Instant Checkout feature in ChatGPT last year, letting users browse and buy products without leaving the chat interface. Google soon followed with shoppable product listings in its Gemini app, and now Microsoft has announced a similar checkout experience for Copilot. According to Microsoft, Copilot Checkout lets users browse, compare, and buy products without leaving the chat screen. The company has partnered with Shopify, PayPal, and Stripe to enable the experience and promises a friction-free onboarding process for businesses that want to participate. The feature is rolling out in Copilot on the web in the US, and merchants…

A new addition to the S&P 500 officer class has emerged in recent months: the chief AI officer, a position defined not by control of key budgets or the size of their team, but their expertise in all things generative, agentic and automation. In the last 12 months, brands like General Motors, Mastercard and ZocDoc have each appointed chief AI officers while agency holding companies like Stagwell, subsidiaries like Golin and indie shops like Luckie & Co. and Horizon Media have done the same. Adtech firms are in on the trend – Zefr hired a CAIO in February 2024 –…

The iOS 26 Liquid Glass update has been one of the most troublesome iOS releases ever. It is marred by inconsistencies and design choices that cause several UI and readability issues. One of the issues that was more noticeable on older Apple devices with SDR screens, including the iPad mini, iPhone SE, iPhone 11, and earlier models, was the liquid glow effect that caused text and certain UI elements to become unreadable when you interacted with them. Apple adds a new fix in iOS 26.4 developer beta 4 After the release of iOS 26, Apple has been listening to user…
