Multiple undersea fibre‑optic cables in the Red Sea were severed in early September, producing widespread slowdowns for Internet users and measurable latency for cloud customers — a disruption that exposed how the physical backbone of the Internet can become a single point of failure for modern...

Microsoft’s Azure engineers told customers to expect higher latency after multiple international subsea cables in the Red Sea were cut, then updated their status to show no active Azure platform issues — a rapid swing that highlights both the resilience of modern cloud routing and the fragility...

Multiple undersea fiber‑optic cables in the Red Sea were cut on September 6, 2025, triggering widespread latency and connectivity problems for traffic between Asia, the Middle East and Europe and forcing cloud operators — most visibly Microsoft Azure — to reroute traffic while repair and...

Artificial intelligence would have told Pete Carroll to hand the ball to Marshawn Lynch. The verdict — blunt, repeatable and nearly universal among modern analysts — is now being echoed by the same generative models that pundits and teams are experimenting with at the edge of NFL operations. Yet...

Microsoft Azure users experienced elevated latency and disrupted connections after multiple undersea fibre-optic cables in the Red Sea were cut on September 6, 2025, forcing cloud traffic to be rerouted through longer, more congested paths and exposing fragilities in the global internet backbone...

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’s decision to deploy Microsoft Copilot across every club sideline this season marks one of the clearest inflection points yet in the marriage of professional sports and artificial intelligence, trading manual film-scrubbing and static stat sheets for AI-assisted filters, Excel-powered...

Microsoft's HoloLens may have been sidelined, but a Microsoft designer's fan-made vision — the Copilot Veja — shows how the next wave of mixed‑reality thinking could trade heavy headsets for discreet, AI‑supercharged earbuds that "see" the world and speak answers back in real time. Background...

The U.S. defense establishment has entered an unmistakable pivot: artificial intelligence is no longer an experimental add‑on but a strategic backbone for everything from logistics and predictive maintenance to intelligence analysis and battlefield decision support. This shift—energized by the...

A Microsoft designer’s fan-made concept imagines Copilot as a truly wearable, audio-first assistant — ear-worn “stems” called the Copilot Veja that trade a heads‑up display for stereoscopic cameras, tactile controls, and spoken feedback, inviting a fresh debate about the future of on‑body AI...

Microsoft’s Copilot is moving from meeting rooms to locker rooms, as a renewed NFL partnership elevates Windows-powered tools from simple sideline devices to full-blown, AI-augmented decision systems that promise faster insights, richer scouting, and—most provocatively—assistive playcalling...

The NFL and Microsoft have quietly but decisively moved a decade‑long sideline relationship into an explicit “AI‑first” operational phase, rolling Microsoft Copilot and Azure AI into the league’s Sideline Viewing System (SVS), scouting workflows, and club operations in a multiyear extension that...

Microsoft’s expanded partnership with the National Football League brings Microsoft Copilot, Azure AI, and more than 2,500 Surface Copilot+ devices to the sideline — a move that aims to put real-time game analytics, faster scouting, and workflow automation directly into the hands of coaches...

Microsoft’s Azure Local is a clear signal that hybrid cloud is no longer a stopgap—it's an operational imperative for many enterprises, and Microsoft has repackaged and extended its Azure Stack HCI lineage into a unified, Azure-native platform designed to run cloud-managed services inside...
