Apple typically pushes out major iOS upgrades every September, alongside new iPhones--you may recall the launch of iOS 18. Those big software upgrades are followed by'point' releases that squash outstanding bugs, improve security and stability, and occasionally introduce new features. That's the case with iOS 18.4, which brings more with it than most minor iOS updates. From extra tools in Image Playground, to ambient music to relax you or send you off to sleep, here's what's new in the iOS 18 update. Apple Intelligence can now prioritize iPhone notifications, selecting which you need to see first and create AI-written summaries.

Tech expert Kurt'CyberGuy' Knutsson joins'Fox & Friends' to discuss the future of AI development in the United States. Vice President JD Vance honored his mother, Beverly Aikins, at the White House Monday to commemorate her reaching 10 years of sobriety. "I remember when I gave my (Republican National Committee) convention speech, which was the craziest thing, and I even said during the speech that we would have your 10-year medallion ceremony at the White House," Vance said in the White House's Roosevelt Room, according to the Washington Examiner. Vice President JD Vance, pictured here with his wife, Usha Vance, outlined his mother's battle with sobriety and substance abuse in his book, "Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis." "Well, here we are," Vance said.

For a show that clings to a six-decade-old premise -- it's about the Doctor, an alien time traveler who can regenerate their body before death, the TARDIS, a time-and-space machine that's bigger on the inside, and the human companions along for the ride -- Doctor Who can seem surprisingly fresh when it's done right. Not because of the Doctor, as magnetically charming as the lead usually is (current charmer: Ncuti Gatwa). The Doctor may have doubts, setbacks, and mysteries to solve, but as any actor will tell you, very little in the way of character development. Freshness arrives via the companions, who provide the ever-shifting perspective of present-day culture. If the audience is not on board with a new companion by the time they step aboard the TARDIS, many will decline to take the trip.

Have you heard about the new Minecraft movie? The teens have -- and they're involving themselves in screenings of the movie at the theater a la The Rocky Horror Picture Show. According to IGN, teens attending screenings of A Minecraft Movie screamed "CHICKEN JOCKEY!" along with Jack Black's character, Steve, threw their popcorn around, and, in some theaters, police were even called. You can't actually spend much time on TikTok without being bombarded with proof. X is also full of reactions -- although most posts are admitting to the complete shock they experienced upon seeing all the pandemonium, the disappointment in the actual quality of the film, and, well, our ages.

Experts agree that artificial intelligence (AI) will change the workplace forever, but there's little consensus on how employees will cope with this transformation. Research suggests only 30% of C-suite leaders feel confident in their change capabilities, and even fewer (25%) believe their teams are ready to embrace change. Also: Is your business AI-ready? So, how can senior executives embrace the AI transformation successfully? Five business leaders share their strategies for managing teams effectively in an AI-enabled enterprise.

With the last Mission: Impossible film, Dead Reckoning, the long-running franchise officially entered science fiction territory by making intelligent AI its villain. We've seen Tom Cruise's Ethan hunt jump off of buildings and hang from the side of planes, but how can he fight a computer program? The latest trailer for the series' next film, and potentially the last to feature Hunt, doesn't answer that question, but clearly it will involve even more death-defying stunts (like hanging on to a flipping bi-plane!), As I wrote in my review of Deck Reckoning: "As much as I love other action film franchises – like John Wick's increasingly elaborate choreography, or the sheer ridiculousness of the Fast and the Furious – Mission: Impossible remains uniquely enjoyable. It's committed to delivering astonishing practical stunt work. And a part of me hopes that somehow, a team of geeks can also fight back against the excesses of AI." Mission: Impossible -- The Final Reckoning hits theaters on May 23.

Google has dominated the search engine market for decades. However, the rise of generative AI has presented a new form of competition -- AI search engines. With its AI Mode, Google provides users with exactly that: an AI chatbot that understands and outputs conversational search queries. As you might expect, it looks less like a traditional Google search and more like ChatGPT Search. Google's AI Mode was met with such high interest that the feature went from being exclusive to Google One AI Premium users who pay 20 monthly to any Google account user via Google Labs.

SAVE 800: As of April 7, Amazon is selling the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra for 999.99, down from 1,799.99. The Roborock is one of our favorite robo-vac brands, but its top-of-the-line models usually come with a hefty price tag that puts them out of reach for many.

Right now, you can grab the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra robot vacuum and sonic mop at Amazon for just 999.99, down from 1,799.99.

An underwater robot can delicately propel itself in any direction with its 12 flexible arms, inspired by the flagella of bacteria. Its creators claim it can carry out underwater inspections without endangering humans or wildlife, as propeller-driven robots would. Flagella are tiny, hair-like protrusions found on many bacteria that can spin clockwise or counterclockwise to create propulsion. "[Bacteria] have something called a biological motor, which rotates this elongated structure, and this elongated structure produces thrust, and that's how bacteria is propelled," says Anup Teejo Mathew at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi,…
