DLO Wants You To Get Your nanos in a Twist

Add as a preferred source on Google

If you’re the sort of person who can have a fashion dilemma over what case you should use with your iPod nano (purse, shoes, and nano should match! But wait: what if it’s after Labor Day?!) then Digital Lifestyle Outfitters (DLO) might have a solution for you wth its new Twister for iPod nano.

“What you have on the outside of your iPod can say as much about you as what’s inside. Why then should you settle for just one look when searching for the perfect case for your nano?” said Marcia Germ, DLO’s director of product development. “The DLO Twister offers versatility and style that can easily go from the office to weekend wear—with a twist.”

The Twister for iPod nano is a flip-cover case with a unique feature: the cover twists so users can quickly switch between two looks. One site of the cover is a slick black leather, while the other is a “Burberry-inspired” plaid. Switching between the two is a simple matter of grabbing the cover and twisting it around on a swivel hinge near the top of the cover.

Inside, the casing is that same “Burberry-inspired” plaid and there’s nothing you can do about it. However, users have full access to the nano’s Click Wheel (to control the nano without removing it from the case) and a clear plastic window protects the iPod screen.

The Twister for iPod nano is available now for $24.99. And remember: what’s outside your iPod is as important as what’s inside, so load up those Project Runway and America’s Top Model playlists right now, girl!

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 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.
