Apple’s been an evangelist for education in the past, offering students and schools incentives and promotional deals over the years, and 2013 will be no different. Apple launched its new Back to School promotion, targeting students that are interested in both Mac and mobile-based devices.

Starting today, anyone who purchases a Mac will receive a free $100 App Store gift card. This promotion extends to mobile devices too, with the company offering $50 gift cards to anyone who purchases an iPhone or iPad.

This deal is only available at Apple locations, meaning you’ll have to grab your product from a brick and mortar Apple store or an Authorized Apple Campus store. You can also grab the deal direct from Apple’s website, but don’t expect to see it at third party locations like Best Buy or Staples. S

This offer is only available for college students, student’s who’ve been accepted to college, parents of university students, or a faculty or staff member from any grade level. 

But you’d better hurry if you plan on getting this deal, as the promotion only runs from July 2 to September 6, 2013.

Windows 11 Insider builds bring expanded Search features and new privacy controls
Windows Search is finally doing more than helping you find that one missing file
Windows 11

Microsoft is giving Windows 11 Search a sizeable upgrade, turning it into something more useful than a place to hunt for missing files and applications. The company has announced new Insider Preview builds for the Beta and Experimental channels, bringing expanded Search capabilities alongside a new privacy policy for commercial customers.

The update is part of Microsoft's effort to make Windows Search more action-oriented. Instead of simply showing links to settings or applications, Search can now let users perform certain tasks directly from the results panel. That could mean adjusting screen brightness, changing cursor size, or even sending a text message without opening another application.

Writers are now deliberately making mistakes because, apparently, good prose looks like AI
Congratulations, AI detectors: you've made an em dash a potential crime
Representative Image

AI has managed to do something rather unexpected: it is making people afraid of sounding like themselves. As detection tools such as Pangram increasingly influence debates over whether a piece of writing was created by a human or a chatbot, authors and students are changing their language to avoid raising suspicion. That means fewer familiar writing habits, more deliberate imperfections and, in some cases, people second-guessing perfectly ordinary sentences.

A Bloomberg report has highlighted how AI detection has moved beyond catching machine-generated content. It is now influencing the way people write, even when they claim they have never used AI.
