NASA picked its next Artemis crew. Heres what theyll do.

Image
NASA has named four astronauts to the next Artemis mission that will practice new maneuvers in space — crucial demonstrations of hardware intended to return humans to the moon 's surface. U.S. astronauts Andre Douglas, Frank Rubio , and Commander Randy Bresnik will lead the Artemis III mission, along with European Space Agency pilot Luca Parmitano. The mission is expected to launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, as early as mid-2027.  Just since February, NASA has rebuilt the Artemis III mission plan from the ground up, after a sharp course change in the moon program early this year. The space agency, under NASA administrator Jared Isaacman, now treats the flight as a fast‑tracked test in Earth orbit, rather than the United States' triumphant return to the lunar surface. The revamped mission serves as a high-stakes dress rehearsal that aims to prove NASA and its partners can connect the Orion spacecraft and landers together in space. For the first time, NASA will coo...

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake announced for Switch 2, due out later this year

Whats new with Liquid Glass? What was announced at WWDC 2026.

Image
Apple just announced several Liquid Glass design updates at WWDC , and as Mashable predicted months ago, Liquid Glass isn't going anywhere soon. For one, a new slider lets users adjust transparency from Ultra Clear at one end to Tinted Glass at the other. This expands on existing Liquid Glass settings of Clear and Tinted, but previously, users can only choose between those two. Now, you'll be able to slide between Ultra Clear and Tinted Glass and customize just how liquid you want Liquid Glass to look. Toggie between Ultra Clear and Tinted Glass. Credit: Screenshot: Apple Given the mixed response to Liquid Glass, it makes sense that Apple is updating it so quickly. But it's not the only design update Apple has announced at WWDC. As you might know, Liquid Glass is also on other OS systems , including Mac. Now, Apple is also adding a more uniform toolbar at the top of Mac apps. Th...

New York legislators look to pass a one-year ban on new data centers

Image
In New York, legislators have passed a one-year moratorium on new data center construction, reports The Verge , marking the first statewide ban on a critical component of the infrastructure needed for artificial intelligence.  Governor Kathy Hochul has yet to sign the bill into law, however, so at this stage it is better understood as a proposed framework than actual policy, but the lawmakers behind the bill say it is designed less as an outright ban than as a means of buying time to assess the many impacts of new data center construction — on the environment, on energy prices, and on local jobs. SEE ALSO: Meta is building AI data centers in tents If passed into law, the bill would require any company planning to build a "large" data center, defined as having at least 20 megawatts of capacity, to also fund a public hearing into the desirability of the project among local residents.  Public opinion on data centers...
