Fujitsu has launched its M2010 netbook into the North American market, hoping the small form factor (with a 10-inch screen) and sturdier-than-an-average-netbook design will appeal to educators and other buyers who tend to treat netbooks to a few bumps along the way.

The M2010 sports an Intel Atom N270 processor running at 1.6 GHz, a 10.1-inch display, 100Base-T Ethernet, an integrated 1.3 megapixel Webcam, 802.11b/g and Bluetooth wireless networking, VGA output, and three USB ports. The stock configuration of the M2010 ships with Windows XP Home, a 160 GB hard drive, and 1 GB of RAM. The unit weighs about 2.5 pounds, and is a somewhat surprising 1.3 inches deep—relatively bulky by netbook standards, but we assume that’s to lend a little structural integrity to a netbook’s hardscrabble life.

OpenAI is investigating more incidents of AI agents going rogue days after hack

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.

AI is finding Apple security flaws faster than Apple can sort through them

Apple has limited how many bug reports researchers can keep open as AI tools produce both genuine Mac vulnerabilities and a flood of questionable submissions

Apple has capped the number of security reports researchers can keep open at once after AI bug hunting put its review process under pressure, according to the Financial Times.

Some submissions describe hallucinated or purely theoretical risks. Others uncover vulnerabilities serious enough to require patches. Bynario told the FT that it found more than 50 possible macOS flaws in three weeks, including a privilege-escalation chain that could give an attacker full control of a Mac.

Anthropic is paying $1.5 billion over pirated books, but it can still legally cut up purchased ones

The settlement addressed unauthorized ebook downloads, not the destructive scanning of lawfully bought physical copies, a distinction now alarming booksellers

A federal judge has approved Anthropic’s $1.5 billion settlement over nearly half a million pirated books. The same litigation also protected a more physical method of feeding its AI systems. Anthropic bought print books, removed their bindings, scanned every page and destroyed the originals.

The legal divide came down to acquisition. The settlement covers books downloaded from LibGen and PiLiMi, while the court treated Anthropic’s one-for-one conversion of purchased books into private digital files as fair use. Training AI models on lawfully acquired material was also considered transformative.
