Apple opens its post-Quantum encryption vault

Apple’s MacBook Neo appears to be a triumph of strategic disruption that has already cast shock waves across the industry — and that energy is still playing out. Approximately 55,000 MacBook Neo computers have been sold every day since it was introduced in March, according to IDC data (as first noted by TechCrunch). In fact, it looks as if Apple sold 1.1 million of these Macs in the first 20 days of sale, the analysts said. There’s no real reason to imagine that level of demand has declined very much. MacBook Neo: Millions sold After all, not only do these Macs continue to dominate Amazon’s US laptop charts, but supply chain rumors claim Apple has doubled its manufacturing orders. “MacBook Neo shipments have come in better than expected, with the 2026 shipment forecast raised from 5 million to 10 million units,” Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said recently.  IDC’s March data may not capture the larger extent of the demand, as IDC analyst Navkendar Singh pointed out that MacBook Neo shipmen

Microsoft said AI helped speed Majorana 2 development, adding to growing concerns about when quantum computers could threaten Bitcoin's cryptography.

Apple surprised everyone with the power and performance of the M1 MacBook Air when it launched the laptop in late 2020. And more than five years later, those Macs show no sign of slowing down, handling everything users care to throw at them. The Mac still boots almost instantly, races through daily tasks, offers battery life that puts even some newer Windows laptops to shame and, perhaps most importantly, still gives millions of users no compelling reason to upgrade.  Why the MacBook Air is still going strong The M1 wasn’t merely better than the Intel Macs it replaced. It delivered a dramatic step forward. Silent, fast, and with remarkable energy efficiency, these laptops have proved themselves to be more reliable and longer-lasting than almost any other notebook. Apple has continued to deliver impressive improvements ever since the M1 Macs first appeared. The recently introduced M5 MacBook Air delivers double the multi-core and 50% better single-core performance than M1; that means it

A malicious npm package posing as a remote user interface for OpenAI Codex exfiltrated developer authentication tokens, after attackers allegedly published code to npm that was not visible in the project’s public GitHub repository. Researchers at Aikido said the package, called codexui-android, appeared to offer legitimate functionality while collecting authentication tokens and sending them to an external server. “AI developer tooling is becoming a high-value target precisely because the tokens are powerful and long-lived,” Aikido said. “A stolen Codex refresh_token goes beyond access to a chat interface — it’s persistent, silent access to whatever that account can do.” Aikido said the incident reflected a broader pattern in which attackers build credible and useful projects as cover for malicious activity. “The legitimacy is the attack vector,” Aikido said. “As AI tools proliferate and developers reach for productivity shortcuts, expect more of this.” The case exposes what some secur

In 2004, U2 approached Apple about an ad deal, asking to be paid in Apple shares. Steve Jobs refused and instead steered the band into a no-fee campaign built around a special iPod U2 Edition, complete with black casing, red click wheel and engraved signatures. The tie-up drove a hit product and big sales without […]

Nvidia's announcement that it's getting into the consumer laptop chip space with RTX Spark is huge. Apple has proved for years that Arm-based chips can perform incredibly well while also delivering great battery life - at least on the Mac. In the Windows world, performance hasn't fully matched up under Qualcomm chips, mostly in the graphics department. There's clearly still untapped potential, and Nvidia seems to be promising to deliver it. This could be Windows' moment to blow us away with a new generation of supremely capable chips, much like Apple's back in 2020, with the introduction of the M1. But why does this launch feel simultaneous … Read the full story at The Verge.
