Microsoft snapped up dozens of Google DeepMind staffers in recent months: Report
Google DeepMind has lost over two dozen AI developers to Microsoft in the past few months, according to a report by CNBC. The Windows maker has hired at least 24 former Google staffers to join the AI team within the company that is led by Mustafa Suleyman, who reports to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Interestingly, Suleyman is one of the co-founders of DeepMind which was acquired by Google back in 2014. Demis Hassabis, another DeepMind co-founder, is now at the helm of the Google AI research division. In 2022, Suleyman exited Google to establish his own startup called Inflection. However, he joined Microsoft last year to lead its AI team along with several other employees who had worked with him at Inflection. The migration of talent from Google to Microsoft comes amid a rapidly intensifying AI talent war. It also follows Microsoft's announcement earlier this month that it was laying off around 9,000 employees or around 4 per cent of its global workforce. Some of the engineers who have been part of the movement of talent are Amar Subramanya, Adam Sadovsky, Sonal Gupta, and Jonas Rothfuss, among others. Subramanya reportedly worked at Google for 16 years and most recently served as the vice president of engineering developing the tech giant's Gemini AI assistant. He has now joined Microsoft AI as a corporate vice president, according to a post on LinkedIn. Sadovsky's stint at Google lasted 18 years. His prior position at the company was senior director at DeepMind. He is now a corporate vice president at Microsoft AI. Until June this year, Gupta was an engineering lead at Google DeepMind. Now, her LinkedIn profile says that she is a member of the technical staff on Suleyman's Microsoft AI team. After a year as an AI research scientist at DeepMind, Rothfuss also joined Microsoft AI in May this year as part of its technical staff. While Microsoft does not appear to have actively poached these individuals, it underscores how AI researchers and engineers are increasingly being traded like star athletes. Among the big tech companies, Meta stands out as the most aggressive in poaching talent. The social media giant recently hired Mark Lee and Tom Gunter, two AI researchers who previously worked at Apple. It has also recruited several employees who previously held roles at OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind. Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, claimed that Meta was offering the startup's employees a staggering $100-million signing bonus. The AI researchers who have been poached will be part of Meta's newly formed artificial superintelligence lab that will be led by Alexandr Wang, the co-founder of Scale AI which saw a staggering $14.3 billion investment from Meta last month, along with former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman. Meanwhile, Google successfully hired away the CEO of Windsurf as well as a small group of the AI coding startup's employees in a $2.4 billion deal.

Skullcandy Sesh ANC Active review: Style, bass, and a few shrugs
The Skullcandy Sesh ANC Active has everything you'd expect from a pair of wireless earbuds with 'Skater Goth Energy' in their design brief. Bold branding, rugged build, and punchy specs on paper. But once you've worn them, you realise they're more about balanced comfort than loud flash. After over a week of using them across commutes, meetings, workouts, and weekend runs, here's the full picture. In the box, you get the earbuds, a USB-A to USB-C charging cable (still funky in 2025), extra ear tips, and a chunky but pocketable case. The earbuds are blacked out with a clean Skullcandy logo, nothing over the top. They fit well, look decent, and don't scream for attention. If you're someone who avoids flashy earbuds, this hits the right note. Skullcandy Sesh ANC Active review They feel snug and fatigue-free, even after long stretches of wear. You can comfortably use them for office calls, Netflix sessions, or late-night playlists. That said, after 5–7 minutes of treadmill running, they started feeling a little loose. For cycling or walking, they stayed locked in just they're IP67-rated, so sweat and a bit of rain won't be a problem. Out of the box, the sound leans flat. But once you tweak the EQ (or just crank the volume), it gets immersive. Bass-heavy tracks feel more immersive with that signature Skullcandy thump, clean, not bloated. Other genres still sound detailed, but not as great for hip-hop, solid for podcasts, okay for orchestral scores. The ANC performs decently in most environments like airplane hums, office chatter, or commute rattle get dialled down. But it won't drown out everything, and the intensity is noticeably lighter than other premium ANC buds. Transparency mode works for basic awareness, like hearing traffic or talking to the delivery guy, but it's not ultra-clear. Pairing was quick on both iPhone and Mac, and reconnecting was reliable. No dropouts or annoying glitches. Touch controls are manageable once you get used to the taps. They're responsive and didn't misfire much. Nothing fancy, just works. Skullcandy Sesh ANC Active review With ANC on, the Sesh ANC Active gave around 1.5 days of casual, non-continuous use. The case recharges the buds fairly quickly, and there were no issues with charge drops or battery bugs. No wireless charging support, though, which at this price, does sting a little. Indoor call quality is clean, voices sound clear, and the mic doesn't muffle easily. Outdoors, wind noise creeps in and gets obvious. The ANC doesn't seem to help with that much. Not unusable, but you'll be repeating yourself if it's breezy. You can use the Skullcandy app to tweak EQ, remap touch gestures, and switch modes. It's stable, didn't crash, and setup was painless, but it doesn't offer anything groundbreaking. Most people will use it once, set their preferences, and forget it exists. If you want earbuds that look sharp, sound bold on bass tracks, and work across everyday life without fuss, the Skullcandy Sesh ANC Active is a solid pick. It's ideal for gym-goers, students, or commuters who want reliable audio with just enough features to feel modern. Serious audiophiles or buyers expecting flagship-tier ANC and app polish should probably skip.

Warning: This malware is using a Windows feature to steal your banking details
Security researchers have stumbled across a new variant of the infamous Coyote malware that uses a Windows feature to steal bank credentials. Discovered by Akamai, a cybersecurity firm that helps prevent, detect and mitigate cyberthreats, Coyote is now using a Windows feature called the UI Automation framework to understand which cryptocurrency and exchange websites are accessed by users to steal wallets and banking information. For those wondering, Microsoft's UI Automation framework allows applications to use assistive technologies to interact and control user elements. As for Coyote, the malware uses various techniques like keylogging and phishing overlays to steal banking information using the Squirrel installer, a popular tool that helps install and update Windows-based applications. Cybersecurity researchers say that the malware sends detailed information like computer name, user name, system attributes and information about the financial services used by the victim to its command and control centre. It then invokes a Windows API called GetForegroundWindow() to get control of the currently active window and compares it to a hardcoded list of banking websites and cryptocurrency exchanges. If it is unable to find a target in the window title, it then makes use of the Windows UI Automation service to get the web address and compare it with its list. And while Coyote's use of UIA is currently limited to the reconnaissance phase, security researchers at Akamai have shared a proof-of-concept that shows how the Windows feature can be used to steal login credentials entered on these websites. Currently, the malware is targeting Brazilian users, but researchers say that it is common for cybercriminals to test the effectiveness of a new malware in a specific region before they unleash it worldwide. Recently, cybersecurity researchers came across the first-of-its-kind AI-powered malware called 'LameHug' that hides itself in ZIP archives to infect Windows machines.
