Opera is resurrecting Opera Neon, a browser concept first introduced in 2017, and equipping it with the latest tech trend: agentic AI--an assistant you can assign tasks to, which it will carry out autonomously. Opera Neon will work like a normal browser. Opera, however, is integrating local AI that you can chat with privately and ask to do tasks and combining it with an interface to a remote server that will serve as a workspace of sorts for Opera Neon's AI creation tools. Most browsers are free; the twist here is that Opera Neon will require a paid subscription of an unknown amount, and potential users will be subject to a waitlist. Opera has a history of experimenting with innovative concepts--it was an early proponent of VPNs, for example.

Tech columnist Marc Saltzman gives tech ideas to keep you entertained during your "staycation" if you're home for the holidays. Don't be jealous if your snooty friends won't stop talking about their upcoming holiday vacation. Let them deal with crowded airports, sunburns, and watered-down booze at all-inclusive resorts. Instead, having a "staycation" has never been more fun – especially if you consider all the awesome home tech you can pick up for you and the family. From big-screen televisions and smart speakers that play millions of songs (simply by asking for it) to deals on video game consoles and curling up with a great e-book on a tablet, there's never been a better time to be home for the holidays.

Startup Forward's agency, dubbed the'doctor's office of the future,' promises to learn about you over time with the internet of things, administering custom health benefits and leading the medical care transformation from our current reactive approach towards a more preventative one. The Bay Area-based flagship, a state-of-the-art 3,500 square foot layout with six exam rooms decked out in the latest medical instruments and an onsite lab for running tests in-office reads'Design Your Health' in bold blue letters along the wall. Blending artificially intelligent systems with various connected tools, the company's tech solutions will help expedite a trip to the doctor as healthcare professionals will be able to quickly source medical information for comparison with your health data. For checkups, the space will be equipped with a proprietary digital stethoscope, strong enough to hear your heartbeat without you needing to remove your shirt, alongside an infrared light that'll reveal your veins when they'll need to sample some blood. In the lobby, a large body scanner will ask you to place two of your left middle fingers into a sensor for a few seconds, calculating metrics such as height, weight, body temperature, blood pressure and heart rate which will all sync back with the A.I. and mobile app.

Amazon is launching its Spotify rival, Amazon Music Unlimited, in the UK with a headline price of £9.99 a month and access to a library of "over 40 million" songs. Those figures are comparable to competitors like Spotify and Apple Music, but where Amazon is focusing its competition is on a pair of special offers, as well as the tight integration with its own hardware ecosystem. The service is cheaper for those with an Amazon Prime subscription, the company's all-you-can-eat free delivery package. The monthly cost drops by £2, to £7.99, and an annual payment plan is available for £79 a year, taking the equivalent monthly fee to £6.58. That's how Amazon is hoping to entice users to upgrade from its other free streaming service, Amazon Prime Music.
