Apple's mixed reality headset keeps getting delayed.

Apple may not announce its mixed reality headset at WWDC 2023

Apple's mixed reality headset keeps getting delayed.

Apple's highly-anticipated mixed reality headset may not be announced until Q3 2023, according to a tweet from renowned Apple analyst <a href="https://twitter.com/mingchikuo/status/1641406406107758598">Ming-Chi Kuo</a>.
The delay is reportedly due to poor market feedback and concerns over the high cost of the device, which is estimated to be around $3,000.
Also, due to the delay in mass production for assembly, only 200,000 to 300,000 units are expected to be shipped this year. This is less than the market consensus of 500,000 units or more.

The future of E3 is also uncertain because of dwindling interest by gaming companies.

E3 2023 gaming expo cancelled due to lack of interest

The future of E3 is also uncertain because of dwindling interest by gaming companies.

Gaming Expo E3 has been cancelled in 2023 due to lack of sustained interest.
The big three of gaming &mdash; PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo &mdash; had already pulled out of the event in January, leaving only a handful of major publishers interested.
Ubisoft, Tencent, and Sega subsequently confirmed they would skip E3 as well. Instead, companies may look to participate in digital alternatives, such as Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest.
E3 organiser ReedPop said that it would re-evaluate the future of the event.

Bing AI chatbot to soon feature ads

Ads are coming to Microsoft's new Bing AI chatbot.

Microsoft's new GPT-powered Bing, which now has more than 100 million everyday active users, is about to feature ads, the tech giant confirmed.
Although it's unclear how the ads will appear, Microsoft suggested they could be included in the chat experience and that the ad revenue would be shared with partners whose content was involved.
Such a move would help drive traffic to Bing's publishers.&nbsp;

The new Nothing Ear (2) promises to sound better and be superior in every way compared to the Ear (1). Is it refined enough to compete with established rivals at ₹9,999?

Nothing Ear (2) review: A worthy sequel

The new Nothing Ear (2) promises to sound better and be superior in every way compared to the Ear (1). Is it refined enough to compete with established rivals at ₹9,999?

Nothing is still considered a new brand, but it has been around for long enough to launch its second-gen product.
With these new Ear 2s, the company also believes that it can compete with established players in the market, because they are priced at ₹9,999.&nbsp;
Confidence in engineering or just overconfidence? Time to find out!
Design
The Nothing Ear 2 looks almost identical to the Ear 1s, because this time around, the focus has been on refinement, and not breaking new ground with design.&nbsp;
So, you yet again get a semi-transparent aesthetic with these earbuds. In fact, the earbuds are exactly the same as their predecessors, except for the Ear (2) branding.&nbsp;
However, the charging case has shrunk marginally. But it is still too big and thick. This becomes all the more apparent when you compare it to its rivals.&nbsp;
For me, earbuds are considered portable if they pass the coin pocket test, and this case isn't even close.&nbsp;
However, while the case might be bulky, the buds themselves are supremely comfortable, and you can easily wear them for extended periods of time. You also get additional eartips in the retail box to customise the fit to your liking.&nbsp;
Moving on, the Ear 2s have an IP54 rating for water and dust resistance. But what&rsquo;s awesome is that the charging case has an IP55 rating, and that&rsquo;s something you do not find on most TWS earbuds.
Connectivity
The Ear 2s have Bluetooth 5.3, and connect to your Android or iOS device via the Nothing X app. This app is quite intuitive to use, with all the controls laid out in a straightforward way.&nbsp;
These buds also feature Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair for quick connectivity.
When it comes to Bluetooth codecs, you get support for AAC, SBC and the new LHDC 5.0. However, aptX support is still missing.&nbsp;
There is also a low-lag mode on these earbuds. I highly recommend switching it on if you intend to use it with a Windows 11 computer to avoid latency.&nbsp;
Controls
Controls are my favourite part of the Nothing Ear 2.&nbsp;
Gone are the swipe-based gestures of the Ear 1s, you now get pressure sensitive squeeze controls on the stems. Each earbud has a dedicated pressure sensor which can be easily located while wearing since it is slightly recessed.&nbsp;
This leaves zero room for accidental triggers and adds to the overall user experience.
The squeeze-based gestures for each earbud can also be individually customised in the Nothing X app.
You also get wear detection on the Ear 2s, which, in my experience, worked pretty well.
Audio &amp; Call Quality
The Ear 2s come with 11.6 mm custom drivers and are 24 bit hi-res audio certified.
Out of the box, the More Bass setting is enabled by default.&nbsp;
However, the overall sound signature of these earbuds is quite bright. This means that irrespective of the EQ setting you&rsquo;re in, the treble always makes its presence felt.&nbsp;
But, the only time the high frequencies can be overpowering is when you are in the More Treble setting.&nbsp;
Despite the high emphasis on treble, these buds are also capable of producing rich and deep bass in the aforementioned More Bass mode. The balance between bass and treble in this mode will be enjoyed by a lot of Gen-Z folks.
You get 5 EQ settings in the app, including a custom one. The custom setting looks extremely simple with dedicated sliders for bass, treble, and mid frequencies. However, playing around with these sliders does not alter the audio output as dramatically as you might expect.
But, things get really interesting from here. You also have a personal sound profile in the app, for which, you have to take a rather annoying hearing test so that it can adjust the sound profile of these earbuds according to your ears.&nbsp;
It looked very gimmicky at first, but it positively changed the audio performance of these buds for me.&nbsp;
The same EQ setting sounds drastically different with the personal sound profile enabled and disabled, with the former sounding better.
I can just hope this custom sound thing works as well for everyone as it worked for me.
Anyway, at full volume, the sound also does not get distorted at all.
Also, the call quality via the in-built mics of these earbuds was pretty impressive, with good environmental noise cancellation.&nbsp;
ANC
The Ear 2s feature both, ANC and transparency modes. The ANC is also adaptive and can set its intensity automatically.
However, the ANC performance is mediocre at best. It's decent for fans and AC hums, but that&rsquo;s about it.&nbsp;
On the flipside, there is no artificial suction in your ears with ANC on, so there is no ear fatigue.
The transparency mode is also very impressive. It sounds extremely natural, without giving you a feeling that noises around you are force-fed into your ears.&nbsp;
Battery Life
Nothing claims 4 hours of battery life per earbud with the ANC switched on, and I could easily hit that number during my testing period. However, do keep in mind that using the higher-res LHDC codec all the time will have an adverse effect on the battery life.&nbsp;
If you have ANC switched off, and are not using LHDC at all, you can extract a combined 36-hour battery life from these earbuds, but what&rsquo;s the point if the key features of the earbuds are not put to use?
Just like the Ear 1s, you also get wireless charging as standard here.&nbsp;
Verdict
The Nothing Ear 2s are a well-rounded pair of earbuds that excel in most areas, while offering good audio performance.&nbsp;
It is worth noting that achieving the best audio output requires some effort, but this also means you have control over the sound quality.&nbsp;
At ₹9,999, these earbuds offer a fantastic value, especially if you appreciate Nothing's unique aesthetics.

Google reveals Bard, its ChatGPT rival

Google Bard is a new rival to the Microsoft-backed ChatGPT.

Google has unleashed its rival to ChatGPT. The AI-powered chatbot service is called Bard, and it is powered by Google&rsquo;s LaMDA technology that was unveiled two years ago.
Bard has the ability to seek knowledge based on user responses and other information available on the web.&nbsp;
Google is releasing Bard initially with its lightweight model version of LaMDA, since a smaller model requires significantly less computing power, enabling the company to scale to more users, allowing for more feedback.&nbsp;
Google claims that it will combine external feedback with its own internal testing to make sure Bard&rsquo;s responses meet a high bar for quality, safety and groundedness.

Activision Blizzard faces backlash over spying and threatening employees

Activision Blizzard violated US labour law by monitoring and threatening employees during a union organisation, says a federal labour agency.&nbsp;

Activision Blizzard violated US labour law by monitoring and threatening employees during a union organisation, says a federal labour agency. The National Labour Relations Board may file a complaint if no settlement is reached for employees in several states. The Communication Workers of America union accused Activision of illegal labour practices, including surveillance of video game testers during a strike for gender inequality. Activision defended its actions, citing toxic workplace behaviour but was found guilty of violating the law by the labour board. Another complaint from last year alleges Activision used a social media policy to restrict employee reporting. &nbsp; &nbsp;

Twitter opens up code for transparency, includes algorithm for tweet recommendations

Twitter has made a portion of its source code publicly available on GitHub

Twitter has made a portion of its source code publicly available on GitHub, including the algorithm used to recommend tweets in users' timelines. The move is aimed at increasing transparency and addressing concerns from users and lawmakers about how social media platforms select content for their users. The decision was reportedly made at the urging of Elon Musk who believes that code transparency will lead to higher trust among users and improvements to the product. The repositories on GitHub exclude code related to Twitter's ad recommendations and details that could compromise user safety, privacy, or efforts to prevent child sexual abuse material on the platform. Twitter's move towards transparency comes after parts of its source code were leaked on GitHub.

Italy's Data Protection Authority has become the first in Europe to ban the use of ChatGPT due to privacy concerns

Italy's Data Protection Authority has become the first in Europe to ban the use of ChatGPT due to privacy concerns. The Authority will investigate whether ChatGPT has complied with the country's General Data Protection Regulation after a data breach affecting user conversations and payment information was reported on March 20. The Italian watchdog has opened an investigation into ChatGPT and OpenAI with immediate effect temporarily limiting the processing of Italian users' data by OpenAI. The Authority has cited the lack of information provided to users and interested parties regarding data collection, as well as the absence of a legal basis for the mass collection and storage of personal data to train the platform's algorithms, as key concerns. The move follows growing calls for stronger regulation of AI and data privacy worldwide.

Air India is planning a major overhaul of its pricing software system.

Air India is adopting algorithm-driven software to update its decades-old manual pricing system, aiming to drive revenue growth.
The move is part of the carrier's major modernisation efforts under new owner Tata Group, which includes a complete overhaul of existing processes and the integration of various Tata-related airlines.
CEO Campbell Wilson said the carrier was taking a clean-slate approach in select areas, such as technology, enabling it to tap into AI and other innovative tools as it seeks to recapture lost market share from rivals.
The shift enables the carrier to adopt a modern "revenue management" software designed to anticipate passenger demand and set the optimal ticket price, boosting revenue per flight.
