Apple’s first touchscreen MacBook is now “100% confirmed,” according to the prolific Chinese leaker known as Instant Digital, which appears to have inside information from supply chain sources. The leaker made his definitive statement this morning in a post on Weibo. Instant Digital has a good history when it comes to Apple rumors and has provided surprisingly accurate information in the past. So it’s always interesting to note what they have to say about Apple’s plans. This claim is also supported by several recent reports.

Sega caused a stir during this year’s Summer Game Fest opening showcase, revealing that a digitally resurrected Tupac will feature in the upcoming Stranger than paradise. Snoop Dogg even took the stage to talk about his collaboration with the rapper’s estate. Even if my handling of the game was not a complete dive into the world of Stranger than the sky, exploring one of five cities and eras, it was an extensive demonstration showcasing the combat system. It requires that kind of focus, because it’s an entirely new system compared to decades of RGG Studio. Yakuza series. Attack inputs are…

Tomb Raider is back. Again. Lara Croft is back. Again. This time, his character is set between last decade’s “Survivor” trilogy and his iconic debut in 1996. Yes, 30 years ago. The Legacy of Atlantis is a remake of this very first adventure, focusing on Atlantean mythology, tomb robbing and, well, some dinosaurs. At Summer Game Fest 2026, Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog shared the first gameplay demo, with Unreal Engine 5 adding vivid detail and richness to Lara’s difficulties. The developers made a wise choice by focusing the demo on a first part of the original game. Set…
Apple’s keynote at WWDC 2026 broke with a long-standing format tradition, abandoning the platform-by-platform structure that has defined the annual developers conference for years in favor of a topical presentation. Previous WWDC keynotes were organized by operating system. Last year’s event went through iOS, watchOS, tvOS, macOS, visionOS, and iPadOS in succession before ending with a developer-focused segment. This year, Apple abandoned that structure entirely, dividing the keynote into three broad themes: platform improvements, trust and security, and Apple Intelligence and Siri. The change appears to reflect the degree of cross-platform integration Apple has achieved in this cycle, which has…

Over the past five years, I’ve played it from start to finish twice, and I can once again confirm that it’s my favorite Game Boy Advance game. I hadn’t even heard of Fire Emblem as a series before jumping into it. Advanced Warsanother Intelligent Systems game. From there, I discovered that there was a whole series of fantasy-inspired games with similar gameplay, but which had never been translated into English. Thirsty to know more, but with a distinct lack of Japanese skills, I spent a year delving…
Apple filed a 12-page response to Epic Games’ attempt to have its Supreme Court petition dismissed, arguing that Epic’s own filing “confirms the need for review.” Epic filed a 35-page opposition on June 4, 2026, urging the Supreme Court to reject Apple’s appeal. Apple’s response targets two central arguments put forward by Epic in this case. On the issue of anti-direction, Apple claims that Epic misrepresents the scope of the injunction against it. According to Apple, the order only limited specific anti-management practices and did not address App Store commissions, making Epic’s framework an attempt to rewrite the decision rather…
French music platform Deezer has launched a free online tool capable of detecting AI-generated tracks in Apple Music playlists, as well as in playlists created on other streaming platforms. “No other company has yet followed our lead, so we decided to allow everyone to check if their playlists include synthetic music, regardless of the streaming platform they use,” Alexis Lanternier, CEO of Deezer, said in a statement. “A large majority of people want to know if AI music is recommended to them and our data shows that almost half of users joining Deezer from another platform have AI tracks in…
