Peripheral and accessories maker Keyspan has announced its new TuneView for iPod, a combination iPod docking station and wireless remote which enable users to connect their iPod to a stereo or television and manage it from afar with a wireless remote. Nothing much new there—except the TuneView remove offers a 1.4-inch LCD display which lets users manage their iPod content using the familiar iPod interface.

“TuneView is unique. It’s unlike any iPod remote that you’ve used before,” said Mike Ridenhour, Keyspan’s president, in a statement. “TuneView features a color LCD screen that lets you remotely view the contents of your iPod and control playback—allowing you to manage the iPod as if it were in your hands.”

TuneView for iPod consists of an iPod docking station and remote. The docking station offers a universal iPod dock, a USB power adapter, audio line out, S-Video output, audio and USB cables, and selected dock inserts enabling compatibility with various iPod models (including iPod nanos, video-capable iPods, and iPod minis, but not iPod shuffles). The TuneView’s two-way RF remote offers a 1.4-inch LCD screen enables users to adjust volume, navigate menus, play/pause, and skip between tracks; a “Wizard” button offers useful functions depending on context. The remote operates at 2.4 GHz: in the open, the system has a range up to 150 feet, while indoor range is about half that.

TuneView for iPod is available in North America now for $179, and should be available in international markets in early 2007.

Google has been finding more ways to make Gemini a part of your daily routine, from putting together playlists to ordering groceries through your favorite apps. Now it's expanding those capabilities to more services, with Google Search joining in, too.

The company has announced a new Connected Apps Platform that makes it easier for developers to bring their services to both Gemini and Search. Alongside this, Google is adding new partners to its growing lineup, bringing more of the apps people already use into its AI ecosystem.

AI bots are now trying to sabotage public health policies, like banning disposable vapes

Thousands of AI bots voted in a public health poll to block sales restriction on disposable vapes. It's like Big Tobacco is back from the dead.

In the broad context of AI and its perceived harms, health and medical risks often pop up in the conversation. The warnings even come from frontier AI labs, such as ChatGPT-maker OpenAI and Anthropic, both of which have warned about misusing AI to cook up bioweapons. Security experts have already spotted a few such incidents in the wild, especially with the usage of AI models without any solid guardrails.

Well, it appears that the risks run deeper. As per an analysis appearing in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), AI bots are now being deployed to influence public policies governing health risks to citizens. In this instance, an attempt was made using AI bots to thwart regulations that aim to restrict the sale of disposable vapes, all while disguising the manipulation efforts as a response from real humans.

A tiny smartphone gadget can detect some of the nastiest chemicals in your water

Scientists built a tiny smartphone gadget that can spot toxic 'forever chemicals'

What if checking your drinking water for dangerous chemicals were as simple as plugging a tiny gadget into your smartphone? Researchers in Japan have developed a compact sensor that could make that possible, potentially bringing sophisticated water contamination testing out of expensive laboratories and into people's hands.

Scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) have created a portable device capable of detecting extremely low concentrations of PFAS, commonly known as "forever chemicals." The findings were published in the journal Biosensors and Bioelectronics, which demonstrate how an inexpensive sensor and a smartphone could make identifying potentially harmful chemicals in water a lot easier.
