It's not hyperbole to call DualShot Recorder an overnight sensation.
It took only 12 hours from the time it was released to hit number one on the App Store's list of top paid apps. It was a surprise success - but what's even more surprising is the app's origin story: it all started with a cadre of friendly neighborhood squirrels and their favorite caretaker.
Derrick Downey Jr. built a career on short-form videos documenting his interactions with the squirrels that visit his patio in LA. His Instagram and TikTok accounts each have well over a million followers (myself included) who know well the regular cast of characters: Maxine, Richard, …

Outgoing Apple CEO Tim Cook’s swan song sings of success as the company on Thursday announced record revenue in its second quarter, while admitting demand for some products — including the new MacBook Neo — has wildly exceeded expectations.
The company reported a March quarter record of $111.2 billion revenue, up 17% from last year. This follows another strong Q1 and means Apple now has an installed base of an astonishing 2.5 billion devices.
iPhone, MacBook Neo, Mac mini and Mac Studio led the charge during a quarter in which Cook confirmed “record” numbers of new-to-Mac customers. The iPhone 17 family, “is now the most popular line-up in our history,” said Apple CFO Kevan Parekh.
Looking ahead to the ongoing leadership transition, Cook said, “We have the right leader ready to step into the role.” For his part, incoming CEO John Ternus said: “This is the most exciting time in my 25-year career at Apple to be building products and services.”

Crypto swaps let you exchange one digital asset for another directly, without converting to fiat currency first — a method that is faster, increasingly affordable, and now accessible to anyone with a wallet. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins like USDT remain the most exchanged assets in 2026, but the tools available to swap them have matured [...]
Tim Cook plans to step down from his CEO role in September, handing the reins to hardware chief John Ternus. Ternus may be inheriting one of the most durable businesses in tech, but he’s also stepping into a very different ecosystemthan the one Cook spent decades shaping. The App Store’s 30% cut is under pressure, the behind-the-scenes power Apple once […]
Apple Business is aimed at small businesses coalesced around Macs, iPhones, and iPads. If that’s you, and all your systems are made by Apple, the service is likely to be all you need to run a small operation of up to a few dozen seats.
But Apple Business isn’t really designed to handle the advanced needs of larger enterprises. And while it can provide a starting point for Mac deployments in mixed-platform environments, it probably shouldn’t be where you end up.
It doesn’t handle cross-platform device deployments, for which you’ll need full-strength MDM solutions (such as those from up-and-coming vendor Fleet). Another thing Apple Business doesn’t do is cover the full extent of compliance targets you might need to meet at your company. So, if you need to ensure compliance with standards/benchmarks such as HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or CIS, you’ll need to choose something else.
This is also true if you need to ensure your endpoints are secured, or you require automated vulnerability scan
Apple quietly threatened to kick Elon Musk's AI app, Grok, from its App Store in January over its failure to curb the surge of nonconsensual sexual deepfakes flooding X, according to NBC News. It was a muted show of force from one of tech's most powerful gatekeepers, made behind closed doors even as the undressing crisis unfolded in full public view and criticism over Apple's cowardice mounted.
In a letter obtained by NBC News, Apple told US senators it "contacted the teams behind both X and Grok after it received complaints and saw news coverage of the scandal" and demanded that the developers "create a plan to improve content moderation." …
