MySpace finally dumped the clutch and pinned the throttle open in the race to keep up with Facebook on Thursday, pushing its MySpace Application Gallery out of beta and into widespread public availability, where Facebook Apps have been since last year. Users now have access to over 1,000 applications, from quizzes and polls to video players and games.

The Application Gallery rollout has moved fairly quickly: MySpace opened the platform to developers on February 5, giving them a little more than a month to create test applications before opening a beta version of the Application Gallery on March 13, and now moving out of beta a month and a half later.

“MySpace was the original open platform, and the MySpace Application Gallery is the evolution of that vision, taking MySpace users around the world to the next level and empowering them to take control of their online presence in new and exciting ways,” said Chris DeWolfe, CEO and co-founder of MySpace, in a statement.

Users can immediately access the existing stable of applications by visiting the Application Gallery free of charge.

Apple Home AI features come with a hidden price tag

Your cameras just got smarter, but so did Apple's upsell game.

Apple Home

I previously covered the new Apple Home AI features revealed at WWDC 2026, which include several quality-of-life improvements, including auto-updating notifications, smarter camera search, automatic tracking and stitching of multiple videos for a single event, and higher-resolution recordings, among others.

Like many Apple Home features, these features are only available to iCloud+ customers. However, at the event, Apple didn’t notify which plans will get access to these features. Today, we get the answer in the release notes of macOS Golden Gate beta 3, and you are not going to like it.

Amazon wants to design in-house chips for Kindles, Fire TV, and Echo speakers

Apple did it first. Amazon is doing it now, starting with 40 million chips a year and a partner most people have never heard of.

Apple's decision to design its own chips reshaped the consumer electronics industry. Amazon may be about to make the same call, just about two decades later.

Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that Amazon is preparing to shift away from externally sourced processors for its consumer electronics lineup, marking what he describes as the company's first major processor procurement change in 20 years. The transition is expected to begin in 2027.
