iriver has revved up its T10 portable media player: the diminutive units now sport a 2 GB memory capacity, and now offer direct support for spoken word content from Audible.com—and also ship with and offer for a free selected Audible.com book download.

The iriver T10 is a PlaysForSure-compatible flash-based digital media player offering up to 45 hours of music playback time on a single AA battery. The T10 supports music subscription services like Napster and Rhapsody, offers an integrated FM tuner and recorder, a voice recording function, and an integrated color display. The T10 works with MP3, WMA, and Ogg Vorbis audio files (and now with material from Audible.com, but, alas, does not work with AAC or protected content from Apple’s iTunes Music Store), and supports USB 2.0 for transfer to and from Windows XP PCs.

ChatGPT Pro replaced Gemini Notebook as my favorite research app, and I didn’t see it coming

Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

I've been using Gemini Notebook ever since it launched, and for the longest time, it was my go-to app for just about everything. Whether I was researching a topic, organizing work, or studying something new, it became one of those apps I instinctively opened without thinking. When Google kept adding new features, I genuinely believed it had secured a permanent spot in my workflow.

Then, almost without realizing it, ChatGPT Pro took over. I've been using its Work mode for a while now, and somewhere along the way, it replaced Gemini Notebook. Of course, it wasn't an overnight switch. I kept bouncing between the two for weeks, but I gradually found myself reaching for ChatGPT every single time instead. At some point, I realized I hadn't opened Gemini Notebook in days. Now, I honestly don't use it at all.

AI chatbots will happily create fake news articles, and tests show ChatGPT is the worst at it

Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

The biggest AI chatbots are supposed to help people find information, not manufacture misinformation. But a new investigation suggests that separating those two jobs isn't as straightforward as many AI companies would like users to believe. A series of tests found that several leading AI chatbots, including ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Meta AI, could be persuaded to generate fake news stories, fabricated headlines, and even realistic-looking screenshots of well-known media outlets. While every chatbot showed some weaknesses, ChatGPT reportedly performed the worst, producing the most convincing fake content with surprisingly little effort.

The findings come from an investigation by German newsroom CORRECTIV, which tested how the AI assistants responded when asked to create false reports involving sensitive topics such as election fraud, government coups, war, vaccines, climate change, and conspiracy theories.

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

DeepSeek AI chatbot running on an iPhone.

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.
