According to this weekend’s Power On newsletter, Apple’s image generation models – used in Genmoji and Image Playground – will be receiving a ‘big boost’ in visual quality. Currently, they’re far from anything to write home about. We’ve recently heard that Apple will be implementing new suggested Genmoji based on your photo library and other key details – but that won’t be the only upgrade coming to Genmoji this year. According to Mark Gurman, Apple’s models will be receiving a ‘big boost’ in visual quality: I’ve also reported that Apple is preparing to support third-party AI models — beyond OpenAI’s…
Cost efficiency and speed of operations are the two main reasons companies continuously enlarge and upgrade their digital ecosystems with new solutions. While there are numerous enterprise-level software applications that can help with unit processes, e.g., customer management or stock tracking, they may often lack the overall process control system. That’s why many businesses include business process management (BPM) practices in their work and add various BPM applications to their software stacks. A solid BPM system can help companies of any size efficiently streamline their business, cut down on expenses, and do many other things above that. In this article,…
Years ago, I saw blues legend Pinetop Perkins perform in Austin. He was 95 years old and still playing incredible boogie woogie piano.What’s remarkable is that Perkins hadn’t started as a piano player. He’d been a guitarist until an injury forced him to stop playing guitar entirely.So he adapted.I love that story because it reflects something important about agile teams as well as life in general: the need to inspect and adapt while staying true to what matters most.Over the years, Mountain Goat Software has taken many forms: books, public classes, coaching, video courses, podcasts, online communities, and AI tools.But…
Physicists have directly imaged a novel laser-driven plasma wakefield, taking a large step towards compact, ultra high energy particle accelerators A map of the electron density in the flying focus setup – linked to the acceleration gradient of the plasma wakefield (Credit: A. Liberman). Conventional particle accelerators use radio frequency cavities to push particles to high energies, but these machines are vast and expensive. Laser wakefield accelerators (LWFAs) offer a radically different approach. When an intense laser pulse travels through a plasma, it drives a rippling disturbance called a wakefield. Electrons can be trapped in this plasma wave and surf…
Organizations have invested heavily in observability platforms, yet a quiet crisis is undermining every dashboard, and every digital experience initiative: too many endpoints remain unmanaged, and under-instrumented. Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) is not a peripheral Information Technology (IT) concern; it is the foundation that determines whether observability produces real intelligence or expensive noise. Without comprehensive endpoint coverage, even the most sophisticated monitoring architecture is answering the wrong question. Reach out to discuss this topic in depth. The observability imperative has reached the edge The pressure to deliver always-on, frictionless digital experiences has pushed observability from a niche concern to a board-level priority. The ability to understand the internal state of a system based on the data it generates has become…
Two years ago, IBM realized there was one glaring omission in its roster of sports partnerships: Formula One. Formula One has become one of the world’s most popular sports, especially in the U.S., where Netflix’s “Drive to Survive” documented the working lives of F1 drivers and turned them into mainstream celebrities. The tech-centric sport has also become a hot ticket for tech companies like AWS, Oracle, and Anthropic, which partner with teams for sponsorship visibility and to provide data analytics and AI tools that can deliver a competitive edge. So when IBM went looking for its next major sports partnership,…

The project…
Eighty years after the creation of ENIAC, the world’s first general-purpose electronic computer, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are exploring a new way to power the future of computing. Instead of relying entirely on electrons, which have formed the backbone of computers since the 1940s, scientists are now turning to light. ENIAC, developed by Penn researchers J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, helped launch the modern computing era by using streams of electrons to solve complex mathematical problems. That same electronic approach still powers today’s computers, smartphones, and AI systems. But as artificial intelligence grows more demanding, the limits…
Key Takeaways: What is Agentic-Ready Data? It’s the highest-quality data that is integrated, governed, and enriched for AI, automation, and analytics initiatives across the enterprise. Who should apply for the Agentic-Ready Data Awards? Any organization actively operationalizing AI, strengthening data governance, unifying data across systems, or using enrichment to improve outcomes – whether or not your program is complete. When and how? Nominations are open May 20 through July 24, 2026. Self and peer nominations are both welcome. As organizations race to operationalize AI, one truth is becoming impossible to ignore: AI can only move as fast, as far, and…
We are excited to announce the general availability (GA) of Entra-Only identities for Azure Files SMB. With native Microsoft Entra ID authentication, organizations can now grant secure, identity-based access to SMB file shares using cloud-native-only identities. We are excited to announce the general availability (GA) of Entra-Only identities for Azure Files SMB. With native Microsoft Entra ID authentication, organizations can now grant secure, identity-based access to SMB file shares using cloud-only identities. This means no Active Directory, hybrid sync, or managed domain controllers required, significantly simplifying architecture while reducing ongoing management and maintenance costs. Entra-Only identities elevate Azure Files with…
