Times of India | Meet Zhou Qunfei: Once she worked in a glass factory, now she runs a $26 billion company and sits alongside Elon Musk and Tim Cook at China’s state dinner AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Zhou Qunfei, who grew up in poverty in rural Hunan and left school at 15 to grind watch glass in factories, used her savings and technical skills to launch a tiny workshop in Shenzhen in 1993, eventually founding Lens Technology. The company first supplied glass for mobile‑phone screens, securing contracts with brands such as Motorola, Nokia and Samsung, but its breakthrough came in 2007 when it became a key supplier for Apple’s iPhone, later expanding to iPads, MacBooks and other devices, which propelled Lens into a global leader in touchscreen glass and helped Zhou become one of China’s richest self‑made women. Valued at roughly $26 billion, Lens now supplies smart‑vehicle components, AI hardware, robotics and aerospace parts to firms like BMW, Mercedes‑Benz and Li Auto, and is positioning itself as a “one‑stop precision manufacturing solutions provider” for emerging technologies. Zhou’s remarkable rise from factory worker to billionaire was highlighted when she sat alongside Elon Musk and Tim Cook at a high‑profile state banquet in Beijing attended by Chinese and American business leaders.

Times of India | Don’t pass final order against Apple till July 15: HC to CCI AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The Delhi High Court has directed the Competition Commission of India (CCI) not to issue any final order in the antitrust case against Apple until July 15, although the regulator may continue to handle the proceedings in the interim. The bench, led by Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia, made the clarification in response to Apple’s challenge to an amendment of the Competition Act, 2002, noting that withholding the final order prevents complications that could arise from an immediate appeal. CCI counsel suggested keeping the order in abeyance, and the court agreed that a final ruling should be postponed until the specified date.

BBC News | Why big tech is betting on cute mascots AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Big tech companies are reviving cartoon mascots to humanize their brands and deepen customer connections. Microsoft introduced “Mico,” a friendly blob avatar for its Copilot AI, while Apple’s blue‑and‑white “Little Finder Guy” appears in promotional videos for its laptops. Experts note that mascots can boost market share and create lasting, warm brand associations, especially when they tap into innate responses to baby‑like features such as large heads and big eyes. Tech giants like Google, Reddit, Mozilla, and Duolingo have also refreshed existing characters or launched new ones, using them to personalize AI interactions and drive social‑media engagement. Critics, however, warn that the trend coincides with rising mistrust of tech firms and raises concerns about persuasive, one‑to‑one AI communication that could feel “creepy.” Despite this, companies report encouraging feedback, and the resurgence of mascots—now extending beyond tech to publishers like Penguin—suggests brands see them as effective tools for building familiarity and loyalty, even as some consumers remain skeptical of their appeal.

BBC News | Why big tech is betting on cute mascots AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Big tech firms are reviving cute cartoon mascots to humanise their brands, with Microsoft unveiling “Mico” for its Copilot AI and Apple introducing the unofficial “Little Finder Guy” for its new laptop. Marketing experts say such characters can boost market‑share growth and create lasting emotional bonds by giving cold, impersonal services a friendly, baby‑like face, a tactic now also being used by Google, Mozilla, Duolingo, Penguin and others. While companies tout the mascots’ expressive, customizable qualities and allow users to turn them off, scholars caution that marrying AI with cuddly avatars may manipulate consumers and heighten mistrust, even as the strategy reflects a broader push for warmth and familiarity amid growing consumer cynicism.

EL PAÍS in English | The future of streaming after boardroom shake-ups by Natalia Marcos AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Recent leadership turnovers at major entertainment firms signal a reshaping of the streaming landscape: Apple appointed hardware chief John Ternus as CEO, promising a more competitive Apple TV while keeping focus on its device ecosystem; Disney installed Josh D’Amaro, formerly head of its Experiences division, who envisions Disney+ evolving into the company’s digital hub that links stories, games and AI‑generated content; Paramount’s successful bid for Warner Bros. Discovery will combine HBO Max and Paramount+ into a single service, though HBO’s production arm may retain some independence; and Spain’s Movistar Plus+ named Alfonso Gómez Palacio—an outsider to audiovisual— as CEO, pointing to tighter financial discipline after a rapid turnover of leaders. Collectively, these changes suggest each platform will adjust its strategy—whether through broader integration, content diversification, or efficiency drives—to remain relevant in an increasingly competitive streaming market.

Times of India | iOS 27 may let you build your own Camera app interface AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Apple’s upcoming iOS 27 will let iPhone users design their own Camera app layout by adding “widget” controls—such as flash, exposure, timer, resolution and depth‑of‑field—and placing them wherever they prefer along the top of the screen. The new “Add Widgets” tray offers basic, manual and settings categories, with separate widget sets for each shooting mode, while a dedicated Siri mode inside the Camera lets users ask the assistant to identify objects, translate text or fetch information without leaving the viewfinder. Apple is also moving the control‑panel button next to the shutter button, introducing new grid and level tools, and keeping the existing default layout as an opt‑in “advanced” option. Alongside the camera changes, iOS 27 will bring a refreshed Siri animation in the Dynamic Island, a swipe‑down “Search or Ask” bar that integrates ChatGPT and Google Gemini, a cleaner Safari start page, and a Weather app panel that shows rain and wind details at a glance. Apple is expected to unveil iOS 27 at WWDC 2026 on June 8.

Feed: All Latest | Foxconn Ransomware Attack Shows Nothing Is Safe Forever by Lily Hay Newman AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Foxconn, the electronics manufacturer best known for building Apple iPhones, recently suffered a ransomware attack by the Nitrogen group, which claims to have stolen 8 TB of data—including schematics and project details for customers such as Dell, Google, Apple, and Nvidia. While Foxconn confirmed that some North American factories experienced a cyber‑attack and are now resuming normal production, it has not verified the attackers’ claims. The breach underscores the growing trend of ransomware groups targeting supply‑chain giants that store both their own and their clients’ intellectual property. Nitrogen, linked to the ALPHV/BlackCat family, listed Foxconn on its breach site; its ransomware is based on “Conti 2” code and suffers a design flaw that prevents decryption even if the attackers wish to restore systems. Foxconn has faced multiple extortion attempts in the past, including high‑profile incidents in 2020, 2022, and 2024, highlighting the persistent risk of large‑scale data theft and disruption across the tech industry.

US Top News and Analysis | Google races to put Gemini at the center of Android before Apple’s AI reboot AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Google is using its latest Android rollout to embed Gemini, its new AI model, throughout the phone, browser, car, and laptop, turning the operating system into an “intelligence system.” Ahead of the Google I/O developer conference, the company previewed Android updates that let Gemini understand screen context, move across apps, and complete multi‑step tasks such as building shopping carts, booking reservations, or generating a barbecue menu and adding ingredients to an Instacart list. The AI acts as an agent rather than a simple chatbot, but it always returns to the user for confirmation before finalizing actions, keeping the human “in the loop.” The features will debut on the latest Samsung Galaxy and Pixel devices this summer and later expand to watches, cars, glasses, and laptops, with Android Auto receiving a Gemini‑powered redesign that includes a major maps update and in‑car task assistance. Google hopes this deeper AI integration will help it compete with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Apple’s upcoming “Apple Intelligence” initiative while maintaining user control over what Gemini can see and do.

Notable absences were Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Cisco’s Chuck Robbins, while the delegation is expected to discuss potential new “boards of investment” and “boards of trade” and address specific corporate interests such as Tesla’s approval for its full‑self‑driving technology and Boeing’s pursuit of a major Chinese aircraft order.

9News | New AI scam targeting pet owners by 9News AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A Sydney student, 18‑year‑old Sarah Swain, posted on Facebook and put up flyers after her 16‑year‑old black cat, Cinda, escaped in Kingsford on May 5. She soon received an email from someone claiming to have found the cat and sent AI‑generated photos showing a cat that looked similar, but the sender demanded $200 and an Apple gift card, threatening to “sell” the cat if she didn’t pay. Suspicious of the oddly phrased messages and the cat’s appearance, Sarah and her boyfriend realized it was a scam, and when she attempted to meet the alleged finder at a supermarket with her mother, no one appeared. The police said they could do nothing, so Sarah reported the incident to Scamwatch and is warning other pet owners that such extortion attempts are a crime and that they should verify any claims before giving money.
