The group compares weight, comfort, thermal balance, strap systems, and software ecosystems. Marty shares his early hands-on impressions with the Galaxy XR—including its lighter design but occasional light leakage—while Ben and Jill discuss how purpose may determine market success: Vision Pro for spatial productivity, Galaxy XR for approachable consumer entry.  The discussion moves to VisionOS Beta 4, where developer-focused updates aim to improve stability and groundwork for more immersive experiences. The consensus: incremental but necessary.   Then comes one of the show's most passionate sections: Apple's decision not to allow trade-ins of the first-generation Vision Pro. The panel debates how this affects:     •    customer loyalty     •    early-adopter trust     •    whether the Vision Pro is being treated like a dev kit vs. consumer product. Reactions range from “understandable” to “rough look for a $3,500 device.”  From there, the conversation shifts to the GM / CarPlay breakup, which inspires instant groans. Everyone shares personal and community stories confirming that CarPlay is no longer a luxury—it's baseline expectation. One panelist notes even non-tech friends refuse to buy a car without CarPlay, which says more than any product review ever could.   iPhone Air production and strategy concerns, tied to mid-tier pricing pressure  YouTube's new AI deepfake likeness detection, and what it means for creators and security Topics and Links In Touch With Vision Pro this week.  visionOS 26.1 Beta 3 Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation  New Samsung Vision Pro Killer?

OpenAI launched the ChatGPT Atlas browser, featuring always-available chat, adaptive browser memory, and task automation. HSBC analysts reported that these features are similar to those in Google Chrome, which uses Gemini AI for automation and content management. ChatGPT has about 800 million users, while Chrome has nearly 3 billion. HSBC maintained a Buy rating and $285 price target for Alphabet, citing its resources and ownership of Google DeepMind. Gemini has doubled its generative AI market share in the past year. The release of ChatGPT Atlas does not alter Alphabet's investment outlook but raises interest in the timeline for further AI advancements from Google.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I look at how Google Cloud is helping businesses create their futures — not just optimize their past — through Gemini Enterprise.Highlights00:14 — Google Cloud really stepped out here with the launch of Gemini Enterprise, and I would like to share with you eight reasons why I feel that the launch of Gemini Enterprise now makes Google Cloud the number one player in the world for AI for business. So first, I think the end-to-end capabilities that are resident within the Gemini AI platform are essential for customers01:16 — It's a little hard to know where to start and really hard to figure out: How do I put together the right mix of piece solutions from lots of different vendors? Now, Gemini Enterprise here offers the full set of end-to-end capabilities Two: While Gemini Enterprise does offer all the pieces, it also gives customers complete choice to use third-party solutions.02:34 — Flexible pricing: There's Google Enterprise, which is $30 per user per month. And then there's Google Business, that's $21 per user per month. It's got massive data access, right? So the need to ensure that these tools have access to the right data in a secure and fully integrated fashion is key. It's got that. The whole notion of governance and security.03:37 — The ecosystem that's been built out, that's been a huge part of Google Cloud's success. And it ties in with the openness for customers, giving lots and lots of different choices here — of who, of what Gemini Enterprise works with. And then a little bit of a not-so-secret secret here: the Delta team within Google Cloud Consulting and Professional Services.04:24 — What the most successful tech companies today are doing is helping companies create their futures, not just perfect what they've done in the past. And this is a long-standing thought here that Kurian has made. I've talked about this a number of times, and it goes back to six years ago when he took over as CEO of Google Cloud.

This week, the boys sling hot takes like baristas slinging lattes, diving into HR tech, AI, and corporate shenanigans with their signature wit. Kicking things off, they set the stage with a vibe check, chuckling over the wild ride of recruitment tech while side-eyeing the economic chaos of startups chasing venture capital like kids chasing ice cream trucks. No military leadership talk here, but they roast corporate missteps with the gusto of drill sergeants. The spotlight lands on JuiceBox, an AI-powered recruiting tool that snagged $36 million, including a $30 million Sequoia-led Series A. Chad's jazzed, calling it the “Capri Sun of HR tech” for its catchy name and $10 million revenue rocket. He wonders if they'll build a platform or get gobbled up in an acquisition faster than you can say “merger margarita.” Joel, the grumpy cat of the duo, sniffs history repeating, comparing JuiceBox to 2010s sourcing flops like Entelo. “Build fast, sell faster, or get squashed by LinkedIn,” he grumbles, predicting a big-tech beatdown. Next, they geek out over AI agents revolutionizing recruitment. Chad raves about Hackajob's agents that dig through applicant databases like treasure hunters, saving cash and recruiter sanity. Joel dreams of Chrome's new free Gemini AI turning browsers into job-search genies, scaring HR tech vendors like a horror flick. Chad warns, “Free? You're the product, kids!” as they lament job scams and hope AI security saves the day. LinkedIn's new Learning Career Hub gets a roasting—Chad calls it a “half-baked LinkedIn loaf” compared to slick competitors like Degreed. Joel likens it to Apple's VR headset: a panicked hedge against being left behind. They also torch Reid Hoffman's claim that work-life balance is a “red flag,” with Chad snapping, “Want me to work like a CEO? Pay me like one!” Joel laughs it off as Silicon Valley hot air, like a CEO dropping truth bombs after one too many kombuchas. Ford's CEO Jim Farley's $5 million pledge to train 15,000 workers by 2026 gets a collective eye-roll. Chad calls it “couch cushion change,” comparing it to Apple and Tesla's billion-dollar China training sprees. “Farley's begging for government handouts like a kid at a candy store,” he scoffs. Joel agrees, noting it's chump change next to a Super Bowl ad, and both warn U.S. companies are losing the EV race to China's manufacturing muscle. Finally, a Waymo self-driving car's illegal U-turn leaves cops stumped—no driver, no ticket! Chad, fresh off a Spanish speeding ticket by camera, wonders why the U.S. can't keep up with “Star Trek-level” tech. Joel predicts local governments will milk Google for fines to fund football fields. With automation on the rise, they're all in—just don't expect Robocop to sort it out anytime soon.

The Defense Department's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) effort has uncovered that many contractors are unaware of export control violations, which could lead to significant legal and financial penalties. As the certification becomes mandatory, early assessments indicate common violations of the International Traffic in Arms Regulation and Export Administration Regulations. Contractors are urged to map controlled, unclassified information and review data controls to identify and mitigate these violations before audits occur. This highlights the critical need to integrate export compliance with cybersecurity measures.Meanwhile, Congress is experimenting with Microsoft's AI chatbot, CoPilot, as part of an initiative to incorporate artificial intelligence into legislative operations. This move has sparked concerns among critics regarding the potential risks of misinformation and privacy hazards associated with using experimental technology in governance. Additionally, Congress faces challenges in renewing a vital cyber threat information sharing program, which is set to expire soon, raising alarms about the implications for national cybersecurity efforts.On the cybersecurity front, artificial intelligence is increasingly being exploited by criminal hackers, leading to a new era of sophisticated attacks. Generative AI technologies are being used to craft convincing phishing scams and manipulate everyday tools to execute attacks without triggering security alerts. Recent incidents have demonstrated the effectiveness of these tactics, emphasizing the need for heightened vigilance and advanced security measures to protect against evolving threats.In the realm of technology, companies like Notion, Google, and Zoom are embedding powerful AI features into their platforms, fundamentally changing how users interact with these tools. Notion's new AI agent can autonomously perform tasks, while Google has integrated its Gemini AI into Chrome for enhanced usability and security. Zoom is set to introduce photorealistic AI avatars for meetings, showcasing the rapid adoption of AI in everyday applications. As these tools become the new baseline, IT service providers must adapt by focusing on governance, compliance, and security to ensure that their clients can safely navigate this evolving landscape. Four things to know today 00:00 Compliance Blind Spots, Political Delays, and AI Experiments Show Why IT Providers Must Be the Steady Hand05:02 Generative AI Fuels Phishing and Supply Chain Attacks While SonicWall and WatchGuard Struggle With Flaws09:08 Notion, Google, and Zoom Push AI Deeper Into Everyday Tools12:43 Ingram Micro Credits Xvantage for Ransomware Recovery, but MSPs Should Focus on Client Continuity This is the Business of Tech.  Supported by:  scalepad  Webinar:   https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Join me as I chat with Cody Schneider about AI Search. Cody explains that while AI search (GEO) is generating buzz, it currently represents a small portion of overall search volume compared to traditional search engines. The value lies in highly qualified leads, with conversion rates of 10-40% from AI search traffic. To optimize for AI search, businesses need to identify which URLs are being referenced by AI for relevant queries and work to get their brand mentioned on those pages. Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 00:51 - What is GEO/AI search? 02:18 - Who GEO is most effective for? 08:16 - How AI search actually functions 12:31 - Tools and strategies for optimizing for AI search 16:45 - Why are people obsessed with GEO 19:56 - Discussion of available tracking tools 22:41 - Final Thoughts on AI Search and GEO Key Points: • GEO (AI Search) refers to search queries through AI platforms like Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Gemini • AI search works by expanding user queries into multiple derivative searches, then scraping top Google results • Most effective for businesses with long purchasing decision timelines (SaaS, local service businesses) • Success requires getting your brand mentioned on multiple high-ranking pages that AI references The #1 tool to find startup ideas/trends - https://www.ideabrowser.com LCA helps Fortune 500s and fast-growing startups build their future - from Warner Music to Fortnite to Dropbox.
