Tomorrow, Nokia is expected to unveil its first round of Windows Phone 7.5 handsets. It’s very likely that one of them will look a lot, or identical, to the star of this video: the Nokia N9. The N9 is Nokia’s first, and last, smartphone running on MeeGo, a fledgling operating system that has already been replaced by a new open-source project called Tizen

We’re not sure why Nokia made this video, but with a little bit of narration it could easily be featured in an episode of How It’s Made on the Discovery Channel. Watch the camera hold being drilled by a machine and the screws being inserted manually by engineers. We have to say, though its screen is a bit small at 3.7 inches, the N9 is a good looking phone. We hope that one of Nokia’s offerings is the N9 and that the company is able to get decent distribution here in the United States.

Everything is not okay with DuckDuckGo and its AI

DuckDuckGo has built its reputation on privacy-first search, but this week, its AI assistant landed in hot water for an entirely different reason. Apparently, Duck.ai confidently claimed that U.S. President Donald Trump had died of rabies earlier this month, complete with fabricated details about Vice President JD Vance, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and fake supporting news reports. None of it was true.

Burger, Food, Food Presentation - Man picking a burger

Artificial intelligence has already helped write code, discover drugs, and generate videos. Now, it's trying to make a better burger. Researchers at Stanford University have unveiled BurgerAI, a new AI system that designs burger recipes by balancing taste, nutrition, sustainability, and cost. The surprising part? In blind taste tests, diners liked some of the AI-created burgers just as much as, and in some cases more than, a popular fast-food burger.

BurgerAI is designed to invent recipes, not copy them

OpenAI ChatGPT 5.6 Sol Terra Luna Announced

OpenAI has officially taken the wraps off GPT-5.6, its most advanced family of AI models to date. There's just one catch: unless you're one of a handful of approved customers, you won't be able to try it anytime soon. Instead of a broad launch, the company is beginning with a tightly controlled preview while it works through a new U.S. government review process.
