The Alphabet-owned company announced the latest effort today, teaming up with Visa to offer a discount on robotaxi rides when they use Waymo to connect with transit.

EssilorLuxottica, the company that Meta partnered with for its Ray-Ban smart glasses, announced a new version of its Nuance Audio glasses that are designed to double as discreet over-the-counter hearing aids.

The new M6 model is even better, but it starts at $899, and its 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU might actually be overkill for someone who just wants macOS and mostly does web stuff. That's why we need a Mac Neo. The MacBook Neo proves Apple can get good-enough laptop performanc

GoPro’s first foray into the world of cinema cameras isn’t perfect, but it sure is a lot of fun to shoot with.
