When David Greene, the veteran journalist best known for his years co-hosting NPR’s Morning Edition, surfaced as the host of a Google-backed artificial intelligence podcast, it sent ripples through both the media and technology industries.

For years, iPhone users have engaged in a familiar ritual: toggling off background app refresh, dimming screens, and hunting through settings menus in search of a few extra percentage points of battery life. Apple has made incremental improvements with each iOS release, but according to a new report, the company is preparing something far more ambitious for iOS 27 — a sweeping internal code cleanup that could fundamentally change how efficiently the iPhone’s operating system manages power consumption.

For decades, the semiconductor chip was the undisputed bottleneck of computing power. Nations waged trade wars over fabrication technology, and billions were poured into securing supply chains for the tiny silicon wafers that power artificial intelligence. But as AI models balloon in size and complexity, a different constraint is emerging — one measured not in nanometers but in kilowatts and degrees Celsius.

David J. Farber, the computer scientist, professor, and federal policy adviser whose experimental networking research helped lay the groundwork for the modern internet, died on February 7 at age 91. Known widely as the “Grandfather of the Internet,” Farber’s influence extended far beyond his own technical contributions — he mentored generations of students who went on to build the digital infrastructure that now connects billions of people worldwide.
