WWDC 2025: What to expect
The conference is expected to showcase major software updates including iOS 19, iPadOS 19, macOS 16, watchOS 12, tvOS 19, and visionOS 3. Industry reports suggest Apple may unveil significant design overhauls across its operating systems, potentially borrowing visual elements from the Vision Pro interface with new frosted glass aesthetics and muted colours.
Apple Intelligence enhancements are also anticipated, though the company faces pressure to deliver on AI promises made at last year's conference. Developers will have access to over 100 technical sessions throughout the week, along with group labs and one-on-one appointments with Apple engineers.
Tim Cook pays tribute to Bill Atkinson
Bill Atkinson, the Apple Computer designer instrumental in creating the graphical user interfaces that made the Lisa and Macintosh computers accessible to millions died last week. Paying tribute to Atkinson, Cook wrote on X:
'We are deeply saddened by the passing of Bill Atkinson. He was a true visionary whose creativity, heart, and groundbreaking work on the Mac will forever inspire us. Our thoughts are with his loved ones.'

CEO Sundar Pichai reveals Google's ‘Most Important Metric' and how company is tracking it
Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed that AI has boosted software engineering productivity by 10%, a metric the company actively tracks. Google measures this by assessing the increase in engineering capacity, in hours per week, gained through AI tools. Google CEO Sundar Pichai has claimed that artificial intelligence (AI) is increasing the productivity of the company's software engineers. He also noted that the Alphabet-owned tech giant is actively measuring the impact of AI on its engineers. During a recent episode of the "Lex Fridman Podcast,' Pichai explained that Google is closely observing how AI is boosting the output of its software developers. As per Pichai, it is "the most important metric,' and the company 'carefully measures it.' He even mentioned that Google actively measures 'how much has our engineering velocity increased as a company due to AI?" Pichai noted that the company currently estimates a 10% boost in engineering velocity attributed to AI. How Google tracks AI's role in increasing productivity of its engineers According to a report by Business Insider, a Google spokesperson explained that the company tracks AI's role in improving productivity of software developers by measuring the increase in engineering capacity created, in hours per week, through the use of AI-powered tools. To put it simply, it's a way of measuring how much extra time engineers are gaining for using AI tools by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo As for whether Google expects that 10% figure to continue rising, Pichai didn't clarify. However, he noted that agentic capabilities, where AI can take actions and make decisions more autonomously, will unlock the "next big wave." Google has also developed its internal tools to assist engineers with coding. Last year, it launched an internal coding copilot named "Goose," trained on 25 years of Google's technical history, Business Insider previously reported. While AI is playing a growing role, Pichai said during the podcast that Google still plans to hire more engineers next year. 'The opportunity space of what we can do is expanding too,' he said, adding that he hopes AI will reduce some of the grunt work and free up time for more enjoyable aspects of engineering. Meanwhile, the company is also monitoring the volume of code being generated by AI within Google, a figure which is reportedly on the rise. At Alphabet's most recent earnings call, Pichai mentioned that more than 30% of the company's new code is now generated by AI, up from about 25% in October 2024. Apart from Google, Microsoft UK CEO Darren Hardman said its GitHub Copilot coding assistant now writes 40% of the company's code at London Tech Week this week. He noted that this change is 'enabling us to launch more products in the last 12 months than we did in the previous three years.' In April, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg predicted that AI could handle half of Meta's developer work within a year.

IGNOU launches MBA programmes in Hindi and Odia
New Delhi: In a move aligned with National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) announced the launch of its MBA programmes in Hindi and Odia mediums, with corresponding study materials now available in both languages. This initiative is part of a larger collaboration with All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) under the E-Kumbh project, a national effort to translate core academic content into twelve Indian languages. Using AICTE's advanced machine translation tool, Anuvadini, IGNOU successfully localised its MBA curriculum to better serve learners who prefer to study in their native languages. The university also plans to roll out MBA programmes in 10 more Indian languages, making a significant stride toward eliminating linguistic barriers in management education. "This initiative marks a milestone in our pursuit of educational equity," said Mrutyunjay Behera, joint secretary, department of higher education, ministry of education. "By offering MBA programmes in regional languages, IGNOU is bringing professional education closer to the grassroots, in full alignment with NEP 2020's emphasis on multilingual and inclusive education. This is more than a policy implementation, it's a cultural transformation in education." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Professor Uma Kanjilal, vice-chancellor, IGNOU, expressed gratitude to the dignitaries and partners, adding, "Technology is the key enabler here, allowing us to create high-quality educational experiences across languages.

Apple WWDC 2025: CarPlay Gets New Updates With iOS 26
Apple has updated its CarPlay, which will come along with iOS 26 set to arrive later this year. Revealed at the annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), this version brings multiple new things to the table. In other words, the users will now get a fresh look and more useful widgets on the car's infotainment system. Furthermore, the users will get better connectivity and safety for drivers across the globe. Starting with the most notable change, it comes in the form of a complete visual overhaul that aligns CarPlay with the new "Liquid Glass" aesthetic introduced in iOS 26. This transparent, dynamic interface will make app icons and controls appear more lively and interactive, adapting to both light and dark themes. Additionally, the updated design creates a more unified experience between your iPhone and your vehicle's infotainment display, with elements seemingly emerging from the screen. Drivers will also get notifications for incoming calls that have been adjusted into a smaller view, ensuring they do not interfere with navigation information. The messaging features also receive an upgrade, now including support for "Tapbacks" (quick emoji responses) and the capability to pin key conversations, facilitating easier and less distracting communication while driving. The addition of widgets is another beneficial improvement, offering quick-access information such as weather forecasts, calendar alerts, and even smart home controls directly on the CarPlay interface. Now, "Live Activities" from the iPhone will also extend to CarPlay, enabling real-time updates of flight statuses or delivery progress, which can be safely viewed within the dashboard. All of these updates are meant to make CarPlay more intuitive.
