If Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level, then Apple devices will be banned at my companies. That is an…
The United Nations Security Council on Monday adopted a US-drafted resolution supporting a ceasefire plan in Gaza, as Washington leads an intense diplomatic campaign to push Hamas to accept the proposal.

The United States,…
French police were questioning an officer on Monday after the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old man as he fled an attempted control of a vehicle for speeding, prosecutors said.

The driver refused to stop and sped away before being forced to…
There were few positives to advocate as Pakistan suffered second successive defeat of the T20 World Cup 2024 campaign, going down to India by 6 wickets on Sunday. The result puts Pakistan’s Super 8 qualification chances in jeopardy, and the team’s head coach Gary Kirsten admitted that the players put more pressure on themselves than they should have. Jasprit Bumrah’s miserly three-wicket haul which applied pressure on Pakistan batters and a counter-attacking, match-saving knock by Rishabh Pant powered India to a narrow win at a packed Nassau County Stadium which keeps India’s World Cup dreams alive with two more group…
