Alterego’s demo landed like a mini cultural earthquake: a behind‑the‑ear headset that its founders billed as a “near‑telepathic wearable” — capable of turning the silent motions of speech into typed text, AI queries, and spoken replies — and the internet responded with equal parts awe and alarm...

Microsoft Azure users experienced widespread performance degradation after multiple undersea fiber-optic cables in the Red Sea were cut, forcing Microsoft to reroute traffic, warn of increased latency for routes through the Middle East, and reigniting urgent questions about cloud resilience...

Microsoft Azure experienced measurable increases in network latency after multiple undersea fibre cuts were detected in the Red Sea, forcing cloud traffic between Asia, Europe and the Middle East onto alternate, longer paths and exposing brittle points in the world’s physical internet backbone...

Microsoft’s Azure cloud experienced measurable performance degradation after multiple undersea fiber‑optic cables in the Red Sea were cut, forcing traffic onto longer detours and producing higher‑than‑normal latency for customers whose data traversed the affected Middle East corridor...

Microsoft confirmed that parts of its Azure cloud experienced higher‑than‑normal latency after multiple undersea fiber‑optic cables in the Red Sea were cut, forcing traffic onto longer detours and prompting rapid routing work while carriers schedule repairs.Background / Overview The global...

Microsoft confirmed that Azure continued to serve customer workloads after multiple undersea fiber-optic cables in the Red Sea were cut, but the cloud giant warned of higher-than-normal latency for traffic routed between Asia and Europe as engineers rerouted and rebalanced traffic across...

Microsoft has warned that users of its Azure cloud may see higher-than-normal latency and intermittent disruptions after multiple undersea fiber-optic cables in the Red Sea were cut, forcing traffic onto longer alternate routes while repair work and global rerouting continue. Background The Red...

The NFL and Microsoft have dramatically expanded a partnership that has already reshaped sideline technology, upgrading the league’s Sideline Viewing System with Copilot-powered Surface devices, integrating Azure AI services into scouting and operations workflows, and rolling out new tools...

Microsoft and the NFL have turned a long-running sideline hardware deal into a full-scale, AI-first operational platform: Copilot assistants are being delivered to coaches’ Surface devices, Azure AI Foundry-powered tools are being piloted for scouting and operations, and a hybrid cloud‑plus‑edge...

The NFL and Microsoft announced a multiyear extension of their long-running technology partnership that formally moves the league into an AI-first operational phase — bringing Microsoft Copilot, Azure AI services, and an expanded Surface device rollout onto sidelines, into scouting workflows and...

Microsoft’s announcement that it was named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management arrives at a moment when containers, Kubernetes, and cloud-native AI workloads are reshaping enterprise architecture—and Azure’s product playbook for containers is one of the clearest...

OpenAI’s new open-weight model suite landed squarely in the spotlight — and when I ran the smaller gpt-oss:20b through a real-world school test designed for 10‑ and 11‑year‑olds, the model proved interestingly capable on paper, but ultimately fell short of beating an actual 10‑year‑old at their...

Artificial intelligence has become a defining force in modern computing, with consumer awareness largely focused on high-profile online platforms like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and other prominent chatbots. Yet the horizon of AI innovation extends well beyond these familiar...
