Have you heard about Spotify's new AI-powered DJ feature? It's like having a radio DJ in your pocket, except this one won't steal your snacks or play Nickelback (sorry Chad Kroeger). Lean back and relax, Spotify's got your back! The AI-powered DJ offers a curated selection of music that fits your preferences, so you don't have to lift a finger. And to make things even better, it also provides spoken commentary about tracks and artists that you love. The voice used for the DJ feature is based on Xavier "X" Jernigan, the Head of Cultural Partnerships at Spotify.

IS IT a new medium on a par with film and music, a valuable educational tool, a form of harmless fun or a digital menace that turns children into violent zombies? Video gaming is all these things, depending on whom you ask. Gaming has gone from a minority activity a few years ago to mass entertainment. Video games increasingly resemble films, with photorealistic images, complex plotlines and even famous actors. The next generation of games consoles--which will be launched over the next few months by Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo--will intensify the debate over gaming and its impact on society, as the industry tries to reach out to new customers and its opponents become ever more vocal. Games consoles are the most powerful mass-produced computers in the world and the new machines will offer unprecedented levels of performance.
