Date: Dec. 2, 1964 Where: San Francisco Bay Area At a low-key talk for a local professional society in 1964, computer scientist and chemist Gordon Moore laid out a prediction that would define the world of technology for more than 50 years. In the presentation for The Electrochemical Society, titled, "The Evolving Technology of the Semiconductor Integrated Circuits," Moore predicted that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every year. The final version of this prediction would become known as "Moore's law," and it would drive progress in the semiconductor industry for decades. Although it's called a law, it was a prediction based more on economic dictates and…...

This is because IMEI numbers are generally treated as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and there's a possibility that they could be misused by hackers or even law enforcement agencies in many cases. Code within the new app suggests that Google is adding a Device info option to this screen, which can be accessed by tapping the three-dot menu on the top right. This will then reveal the IMEI numbers of the phone. We managed to activate this screen, as visible in the second screenshot below: Google will also display this text alongside the IMEI: As the user noted: Ironically, Google closed the feature request as "Won't Fix (Intended Behavior)." The rationale given was that IMEI is a sensitive PII, and malicious…...

39+ min ago (526+ words) Hackers poking around in iOS 26 recently uncovered something Apple definitely didn't intend anyone to see: every modern iPhone is running the operating system Apple's upcoming "iPhone Fold" will likely use. Which means these phones are'right now'already capable of running a full, fluid desktop experience. For years, Apple has insisted that iOS and iPadOS are distinct, despite sharing code and habitually borrowing each other's features. But a self-proclaimed "tech geek" on Reddit who got iPad features running on an iPhone claimed they're not merely similar'they're essentially the same: "Turns out iOS has all the iPadOS code (and vice versa; you can for instance enable Dynamic Island on iPad)." The exploit is already patched in the iOS 26.2 beta, and the Redditor accused Apple of locking out iPhone users and artificially limiting older devices to push upgrades. But are things really that simple?...
