    Apple One got three recent additions you might have missed, heres whats new
    Apple One launched in 2019 as a bundle for Apples various services. Fresh content is always being added to the likes of TV+, Arcade, and Music, but actual service upgrades or changes are rare. Recently though, Apple introduced three new benefits among the various Apple One services. Heres whats new.Advance access to Apple TV+ original podcastsId bet the majority of readers have no idea that Apple produces original podcasts, and that Apple TV+ subscribers get advance access to them.Apple has experimented with podcast production in the past, like with companion shows for TV+ series. But in the second half of 2024, the company started branching out.Apple now releases podcasts branded Apple TV+ that actually have nothing to do with the TV service. Its confusing, I know. Examples include:Scamtown, a true crime seriesMy Divo, a dual-language podcastand moreApples original podcasts are released weekly, with fresh drops every week even to non-subscribers.But Apple TV+ subscribers get a special perk: the full set of episodes are made available immediately on day one.So while non-subscribers can only hear the first one or two episodes of a show, TV+ (and Apple One) subscribers get to binge-listen right from the start.Sudoku puzzles in Apple News appiOS 18.2 debuted last month with some big upgrades for iPhone users, including Genmoji, ChatGPT integration, and a Mail app redesign.Also introduced in iOS 18.2 was a new benefit for Apple News+ (and Apple One Premier) subscribers: daily Sudoku puzzles.Apple has been regularly expanding its collection of puzzles inside the Apple News app, and all of them are exclusive to News+ subscribers.Daily Sudoku joins the existing roster of Crossword, Quartiles, and Mini Crossword puzzles available with an active News+ subscription. Basically, Apples following a big competitors playbook by hooking news readers with fun.Fitness+ upgradesPerfect for any 2025 health goals youve set, Apple Fitness+ has just launched a Strava integration plus several new curated programs:Both of these additions make Fitness+ a more compelling option heading into the year ahead.Apple One new benefits: wrap-upApple One doesnt upgrade its offerings very often, but its great to see continued investment from Apple. Providing more value at the same subscription price is always a win with customers, and Im eager to see how the company might expand Apple One in the futureperhaps with more Home-focused efforts soon.What changes do you hope to see from Apple One in the future?

    Elon Musk Trying to Scrap NASA's Moon Program
    SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is calling for NASA to ditch its Artemis program, arguing that the "Moon is a distraction" and that "we're going straight to Mars" instead in a recent tweet and directly contradicting the agency's long-established plans.In a separate tweet on Christmas Day, Musk accused the space agency's Moon program of being "extremely inefficient as it is a jobs-maximizing program, not a results-maximizing program."The broadsides once again highlight the mercurial entrepreneur's obsession with establishing a city on Mars, a starry-eyed vision he wants to see facilitated by his space company's next-generation heavy-lift rockets.And while the idea of ditching the Artemis program which was officially formed by Musk's new ally, president-elect Donald Trump, in 2017 seems bafflingly counterintuitive and shortsighted, his emboldened calls to skip the Moon can't be dismissed given his immense new influence.Musk now holds huge sway not only over the fate of his many businesses, but the political landscape as well, most recently helping Trump win the electionand even playing a major role in the torpedoing of a US Congress funding bill last month.Consequently, the South African billionaire has been put in charge of a so-called "Department of Government Efficiency" to excise $2 trillion from the national budget. Whether this advisory group will be able to take aim at the Artemis program remains to be seen.Nonetheless, now that Musk has a significant foothold in Washington, DC, NASA's efforts to land the first astronauts on the surface of the Moon before the end of this decade could be in serious trouble or at least look dramatically different after some high-powered meddling.What's perhaps most likely, at least in the short term, is that instead of scrapping NASA's plan,the Trump-Musk alliance could make significant adjustments instead, perhaps by ditching the agency's expensive and inefficient Space Launch System in favor of SpaceX's reusable Starship or Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, as Ars Technica's Eric Berger suggests.One unknown is NASA's incoming administrator Jared Isaacman, a billionaire and private astronaut who has been to space twice with the help of SpaceX but who so far has expressed support for NASA's existing lunar gameplan.In a statement Isaacman tweeted following his nomination, the billionaire proclaimed that "Americans will walk on the Moon and Mars and in doing so, we will make life better here on Earth."That vision directly contradicts Musk's desire to aim our sights exclusively at Mars, a striking difference in tune that will be fascinating to watch play out.Will Trump's administration and Isaacman bend the knee, calling off upcoming Artemis missions or will it be a matter of appeasing Musk's plans while simultaneously pursuing American boots on the Moon?Chances are, we'll have to wait quite some time until we get a definitive answer. The Artemis program has formed an intricate web between NASA and its private contractors, SpaceX included, which likely can't be ripped apart or burned down overnight.More on Artemis: NASA's Moon Landing Gets Pushed Back Yet AgainShare This Article

    Former NASA Astronaut Puzzled by Metallic Orbs He Encountered While Flying
    "They came right at me."Orbstacle CourseFormer NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao says he had a baffling encounter when he was flying his private four-seat airplane in 2023.At an altitude of 9,000 feet over Houston, Texas, the former Space Shuttle commander had two "perfectly smooth" and "shiny" spheres, each roughly three feet in diameter, rip by him a mere 20 feet away. He first detailed the unusual encounter in an interview with NewsNation in December, and recently elaborated on the sighting in a follow-up with the New York Post claims from a highly accomplished pilot and space traveler that add fuel to the fire of debates over unidentified objects in the skies."There was nothing around me other than the panhandle of Texas at nine thousand feet on this instrument flight plan and just suddenly these things appeared," he told the publication."They came right at me," he added.Alien Bird StrikeIntriguingly, the Pentagon released a declassified video of a UFO soaring over a military base in the Middle East in April 2023, roughly four months before Chiao's encounter. (Some experts have since suggested it could've simply been an ordinary party balloon.)As the New York Post points out, the object visible in the footage roughly aligns with Chiao's own description."Thats what it made me think of," he told the publication. "I wonder, 'Gosh, I wonder if this is the same thing.'"Officials from the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office also revealed in 2023 that "metallic orbs" are the most prevalent type of UFOs in the sightings the office was studying. However, the panel stressed at the time that there was no evidence that they represented encounters with extraterrestrial technology.A crash with the objects could've ended in disaster, Chiao claimed."Obviously if I collided with them it would have been really bad," he said. "No one wouldve known what happened to me."Chiao could only guess as to what may have been behind the two mysterious orbs, suggesting it could've been "some secret military program."It's hard to make of Chiao's account, especially without any hard evidence. His claims that the two orbs didn't even disturb the "air around my airplane" as they zipped by in complete silence, and that they showed "no visible means of propulsion," are particularly eyebrow-raising.It's certainly not the first account of its kind. A number of former military pilots have come forward over the years, claiming to have made similar sightings. Claims by David Grusch, an Air Force veteran and former member of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, catapulted the topic into the mainstream in mid-2023, sparking sensational claims of an alleged government cover-up of the recovery of alien spacecraft.Universal CoverageAs a NASA veteran, though, Chiao is keeping it real."I firmly believe there is other intelligence in the universe," he told thePost. "I think its the height of arrogance to think that were the only intelligent life in this entire universe."But the "flip side of that is that well never find each other because the universe is so vast," he added. "So I have trouble believing that aliens have visited us."Share This Article

    Sam Altman Explodes at Board Members Who Fired Him
    In a freewheeling interview with Bloomberg, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman unloaded on the company's board members who abruptly sacked him in November 2023 new perspective on the coup that fleshes out both the history of the company and Altman's chaotic character as a leading figure in the explosive AI industry.At the time, the board said it no longer had the "confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI," accusing him of not being "consistently candid in his communications."After being asked if he was "traumatized" by being booted from the company and the chaos that followed, Altman had some choice words for the former board members, many of whom stepped downfollowing his reinstatement just over a week later."And all those people that I feel like really fucked me and fucked the company were gone, and now I had to clean up their mess," adding that he was "fucking depressed and tired.""And it felt so unfair," the billionaire told Bloomberg. "It was just a crazy thing to have to go through and then have no time to recover, because the house was on fire."OpenAI quickly churned throughseveral short-lived CEOs before rehiring Altman shortly afterward, a messy custody battle that shook the company and its public perception to its core.The company's board went through a major game of musical chairs, with esoteric chief scientist Ilya Sutskever who was one of the orchestrators of the coup and was quickly removed from the board as a result quitting in May 2024 in a fit of rage.At the time of Altman's dismissal, the company's board consisted of six people. Four of them voted to remove the CEO, and only one of them, Quora CEO Adam D'Angelo, stayed on the board following Altman's reinstatement.Meanwhile, many signs have suggested that Altman has been attempting to consolidate power at the top of the company's ranks after news emerged last year that the company was moving to restructure its core business into a "for-profit benefit corporation."After Bloomberg insinuated that he was being "sneaky" to turn the company into a competitive for-profit, Altman dismissed the turn of phrase, dismissing 2024 as a "crazy year.""Its a company thats moving a million miles an hour in a lot of different ways," he told the publication. "I would encourage you to talk to any current board member 12 and ask if they feel like Ive ever done anything sneaky, because I make it a point not to do that."Altman, however, did appear more lucid about the chaos following his dismissal in late 2023."The one thing Im more aware of is, I had had issues with various board members on what I viewed as conflicts or otherwise problematic behavior, and they were not happy with the way that I tried to get them off the board," Altman admitted in his interview with Bloomberg. "Lesson learned on that."Just over a year later, there are plenty of reasons to believe that Altman holds more power over OpenAI than ever before. Case in point, weeks after Sutskever left, OpenAI dissolved the safety-oriented Superalignment team he was once in charge of.Less than ten days later, OpenAI announced the creation of a new "safety and security committee" with Altman at the helm.Share This Article

It's likely the Invisible Woman will be a Strategist, making use of her powers to support teammates and get the jump on competitors.The Fantastic Four will be the first new characters on the already packed Marvel Rivals roster, which includes legendary figures like Spider-Man, Wolverine and Captain America, along with lesser-known ones such as Luna Snow, Peni Parker and a new fan favorite, Jeff the Land Shark.
