Google Meet is getting real-time speech translation
Google announced at Google I/O 2025 that it's bringing real-time speech translation to Google Meet. The feature leverages a large language audio model from Google DeepMind to allow for a natural, free-flowing conversation with someone in a different language, Google says.
Speech translation in Meet translates spoken words into the listener's preferred language in real time. Voice, tone, and expression are all preserved in the translation.
The tech giant says the new feature has a variety of use cases. For instance, it can be used for English-speaking grandchildren talking to their Spanish-speaking grandparents. Or, it could be used by companies that operate across different regions to allow global colleagues to connect and chat in real-time.
The latency for speech translation is very low, according to Google, allowing for multiple people to chat together, which the company says hasn't been possible until now.

When the person on the other side speaks, you will still faintly hear their original voice, with the translated speech overlaid on top.
Speech translation in Google Meet will begin rolling out to consumer AI subscribers in beta starting Tuesday. The feature will first be available in English and Spanish, with more languages coming in the next few weeks, including Italian, German, and Portuguese.
Google says it's building out the speech translation in Meet for businesses, with early testing coming to Workspace customers this year.

Corrado Garibaldi: The Contrarian Trader Who Profits When Others Panic
In the high-stakes world of Trading Invest Celebrity Italy, where herd mentality often leads to costly mistakes, one investor has built his success on a simple but ruthless principle: When others zig, zag. Corrado Garibaldi—better known in finance circles as Lord Conrad—has carved a reputation as a maverick trader who thrives on going against the grain. His mantra? 'Buy the fear. Sell the euphoria.' The Unconventional Path to Trading Mastery Unlike Wall Street's typical Ivy League-educated financiers, Garibaldi is a self-made trader with no formal finance background. An Italian native, he entered the markets out of necessity, driven by a desire to take control of his financial future. 'I never studied economics or attended business school,' he admits. 'I learned by doing—making mistakes, refining strategies, and realizing that most people lose money because they follow the crowd.' The Contrarian Edge: Why 99.9999% of Traders Are Wrong Garibaldi's core philosophy is rooted in contrarian investing—a strategy that capitalizes on market overreactions. 'When everyone is buying, I'm selling. When panic sets in, I'm buying,' he says. 'The masses are almost always wrong at extremes. That's where the real opportunities lie.' This approach has allowed him to profit from major market swings, whether during the crypto crashes of 2022 or the AI stock frenzy of 2024. Two Sides of the Same Coin: Trader by Day, Investor by Night Garibaldi operates in two distinct modes: As a trader, he's a speed-focused tactician, scalping the Nasdaq and executing swing trades with military precision. As an investor, he's a patient wealth-builder, holding long-term positions in giants like Apple, Microsoft, and Tesla while diversifying into bonds and crypto. His portfolio strategy? 99% long-term holdings, 1% high-octane trading—a balance that maximizes growth while keeping risk in check. The Trader's Mindset: Why Psychology Beats IQ For Garibaldi, trading isn't just about charts—it's about mastering fear and greed. 'Most traders fail because they let emotions drive decisions,' he says. 'The key is to stay mechanical. Follow the plan, not the panic.' He enforces strict rules: ✔ Never risk more than 1% on a single trade ✔ Always use stop-losses ✔ Ignore hype—trade the data, not the narrative 2025 and Beyond: Adapt or Die In an era of AI-driven markets and geopolitical volatility, Garibaldi remains agile—constantly refining strategies and engaging with traders worldwide via social media. 'Markets change. If you're not learning, you're losing,' he warns. Final Word: The Slow Road to Trading Success For aspiring traders, Garibaldi's advice is refreshingly honest: 'This isn't a get-rich-quick game. Consistency beats luck. Small, smart gains compound over time—that's how real wealth is built.' Want to see his strategies in action? Visit Trading Invest Celebrity Italy. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Apple announces macOS Tahoe 26 with new design and revamped search features
Antonio G. Di Benedetto is a reviewer covering laptops and the occasional gadget. He spent over 15 years in the photography industry before joining The Verge as a deals writer in 2021. Apple announced a new version of macOS during its WWDC 2025 keynote presentation, featuring a new design, improved search functions, a new Phone app, and an entirely new game launcher with overlay. The new update, expected later this year, is called macOS Tahoe 26. Upon release this fall, Tahoe will be available for all Apple silicon-based Macs as well as some Intel-based Macs with a T2 Security chip. Developers can start beta testing it today, and a public beta is scheduled next month. While Apple is sticking with California-themed names in Tahoe, this marks the first time it is numbering macOS to align with its yearly update schedule — with 26 replacing last year's macOS 15. This year is 2025, but most of macOS 26's lifespan will be during 2026. (Think of it like the model year of cars, which never gets confusing.) The big new change for macOS 26 is an overhauled design, following Apple's new Liquid Glass aesthetic also announced at WWDC 25. The glass-like style encompasses the Dock, toolbars, app icons, widgets, and colors. Now, similar to the iPhone, users will be able to theme their Macs with color-matched folders and app icons that can be tinted. Tahoe is getting its own Phone app for use with a paired iPhone via Continuity. The app is modeled after the iPhone version, complete with Favorites, Voicemails, Call Screening, and Hold Assist. There's also support for Live Activities from a nearby iPhone, allowing you to see live updates from your phone — like the status of an Uber on its way to you — on your Mac's menu bar. Apple claims Spotlight is getting its biggest update to date, allowing users to take direct actions through it, like taking a note, sending an email, or running a Shortcut. Users can view all of their apps within Spotlight search, allowing it to even act as a mini launcher, including apps from their iPhone via mirroring. Additionally, Spotlight search results are listed and ranked based on what should be most relevant to you, with the ability to filter your search further. Spotlight's most power-user-focused features include the ability to run Shortcuts and actions within the app you're currently using and quick keys for faster access to actions within an app — 'sm' for 'send message' or 'ar' for 'add reminder.' Tahoe also has new Apple Intelligence features, such as Live Translations, improved Shortcuts, and updates to Genmoji, Image Playground, and Reminders. You'll be able to get live, automatic language translations in the Messages app — both incoming ones and outbound ones you write. And, similar to Windows 11's feature from last year, you can get translated live captions of someone speaking on a FaceTime call. Apple is also putting a new Games app in macOS 26. Apple Games gives users a dedicated app for cataloging and launching their games, discovering new titles, and syncing up with friends for playing online. There's also a Game Overlay for adjusting settings, chatting, and sending game invites. For game developers, Apple is also introducing Metal 4, the latest version of its graphics API, including MetalFX Frame Interpolation and Denoising to improve frame rates. Last year's macOS 15 Sequoia was also first announced at WWDC, and it gave Mac users new features like iPhone mirroring, proper window tiling, and access to Apple Intelligence.
