You’ve probably heard of vibe coding — novices writing apps by creating a simple AI prompt — but now Microsoft wants to introduce a similar thing for its Office apps. The software maker is launching a new Agent Mode in Excel and Word that can generate complex spreadsheets and documents with just a prompt. A new Office Agent in Copilot chat, powered by Anthropic models, is also launching today that can create PowerPoint presentations and Word documents from a “vibe working” chatbot.“Today we’re bringing vibe working to Microsoft 365 Copilot with Agent Mode in Office apps and Office Agent in…
Seiko has joined forces with Bamford Watch Department for the first time, creating a watch that’s equal parts heritage and imagination. The Seiko 5 Sports x Bamford Limited Edition (SRPL95) takes inspiration from George Bamford’s vision of a “journey to paradise” and reinterprets Seiko’s classic SKX series with a bold retro-futuristic twist. The design blends two eras of Seiko’s sports archive – the rugged SKX divers of the 1980s and the original 5 Sports models of the 1960s. Up front, a translucent blue skeleton dial nods to the ocean, complete with retro-style indexes and hands lifted straight from the ’80s.…

Our pick of the best gifts for music lovers for Christmas 2025 Teenage Engineering OB-4 Part radio, part speaker, and part alien artefact, the OB-4 is a portable FM radio/Bluetooth speaker that’s unlike anything else out there. It can record up to two hours of whatever’s playing, for a start, letting you relive the mixtape era of yesteryear. It can also rewind live radio or create bizarre ambient soundscapes, if that takes your fancy. The motorised dial and industrial design are an engineer’s dream, and its dual drivers pump out a surprisingly punchy 38 watts per channel. Utterly mad, completely…
The CMF Headphone Pro are available starting today in the EU and UK, but US customers will have to wait until October 7th, 2025, to grab a pair. At $99 they’re much cheaper than Nothing’s $299 Headphone 1 and offer more customizability.

In addition to…
They might look a bit like you’ve strapped a pair of Mentos to your head, but CMF’s first ever pair of over-ear headphones are smarter than their candy-inspired exterior suggest.

These cans aren’t just a more colourful version of the Nothing Headphones 1; the CMF Headphone Pro has a unique set of on-board controls, including an Energy Slider that lets you tweak bass or treble without…

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman Apple is testing Siri’s upcoming revamp using an internal chatbot called Veritas. The company’s struggles as it tries to keep pace in the AI race are no secret. The next-gen Siri has been delayed multiple times and the debut of Apple Intelligence was met with a tepid response. Veritas gives Apple the ability to quickly develop, test, and collect feedback on new Siri features like “search[ing] through personal data… and perform[ing] in-app actions like editing photos.“According to Gurman Veritas resembles other chatbot apps like ChatGPT and Gemini. Employees type requests, have back and forth conversations,…
For most of his career Larry Ellison has been content to quietly let Oracle be the company, behind the company, behind the technology that makes headlines.

But, now in his 80s, Ellison has begun a second act shifting from Silicon Valley pioneer, to media mogul.Compared to many of the other people at the top of the Forbes Billionaires list, Larry Ellison tends to keep a low profile.

Donald Trump is no stranger to outlandish conspiracies or strange social media posts. But, by any measure, his post on Saturday night was particularly bizarre. The president posted (and later removed) a clip on Truth Social of a Fox News segment with Lara Trump detailing the White House’s announcement of the world’s first MedBed hospital and a national MedBed card system (two things that very much do not exist). There was no additional context, no text to explain things. Confusing matters more, the video appears to be completely AI generated, including Trump himself discussing the program in the Oval Office.…
As the nation’s foremost FineWoven hater, I have some great news about Apple’s follow-up: it doesn’t suck. I’ve been using a TechWoven case on an iPhone 17 Pro for the past week and I have no complaints. I took it up a mountain; I stored it in the sweaty back pocket of my yoga pants on a bike ride. I carried it next to my keys, gave it to my toddler, and handled it while measuring out ingredients for banana bread. It’s fine. Fine is good.Remember FineWoven? Apple introduced the material in 2023 when the company discontinued its leather cases…
