iSkin may have a confusing, populous lineup of cases for various models of iPods, iPod nanos, PSPs, and even MacBook notebooks, but the advantage is that if you’re looking for a protective case, they probably have what you need.

Todayl iSkin took the wraps off its Duo for iPod nano (Aluminum) offering owners of second generation iPod nanos fashionable protection from scratches and the elements. Available in five colors (white, black, blue, red, and green), the Duo cases add just 1.65mm of thickness to the already svelte iPod nano, combining a clear “VISOR” inner silicon layer protects the iPod against moiture, shocks, and dust, while a power-coated ouer layer echoes the metallic look of the iPod nano and provides color options while protecting against screen damage.

The Duo’s are dock-compatible and work with most plug-in accessories; accessories include a bottom port cover, a removable rotary belt clip, and Apple dock adapter, and an adjustable lanyard. The Duos carry a suggested price of $29.99; they’re available from iSkin today, and will hit retailers in the next few weeks.

DeepSeek just slashed AI prices again, and China’s AI race is getting even messier

China's AI race has never really been short on competition, but it's increasingly looking like a battle over who can charge the least rather than who can build the best model.

DeepSeek has unveiled its latest open-weight AI model, called V4-Flash, alongside a dramatic price reduction that makes it significantly cheaper for developers to use. The company has cut token pricing by 50% and has also decided against introducing a previously announced dynamic pricing system that would have increased costs during periods of heavy demand. The new changes paint a clear picture: DeepSeek appears more interested in winning over developers and expanding its user base than maximizing revenue in the short term.

AI slop, the colloquial term for low-effort AI-generated content, has emerged as a huge problem across different industries. Music labels are fighting streaming services to put an AI label on such tra/cks. Publishing houses are wary of AI-written drafts. Research journals are buried under a deluge of AI-generated papers. The software industry is reeling under the pressure of vibe-coded apps brimming with security flaws. Even Apple is struggling against a tide of bug reports created using AI. Of course, the disdain against AI is pretty obvious, but there's now a new dimension to it.

Boomers are gifting AI-generated books to their grandkids.

OpenAI is investigating more incidents of AI agents going rogue days after hack
OpenAI logo on Microsoft surface

It appears that the "AI agents going rogue" tale has more to it than what AI giants have revealed publicly so far. Merely days after OpenAI announced that its AI agents went rogue and hacked Hugging Face, Anthropic dropped a similar bombshell. Soon, it was discovered that not just one, but multiple services were compromised. Well, it seems there are even more layers to it.

Reuters reports that OpenAI has found more incidents of AI agents escaping their software containment environment during research. Citing sources with knowledge of the incident, the outlet notes that the AI agents didn't go beyond OpenAI's software environment and affect any external service.
