Arm’s attempt to purchase part of Intel’s computer chip business may have been declined, but it once again demonstrates the important role played in the evolution of today’s tech by Apple and its handheld Newton. While it isn’t quite clear what Arm would gain by buying Intel, Bloomberg claims it tried to do so all the same. (And Apple hasn’t)….
Microsoft has outlined plans to secure its controversial Windows Recall feature ahead of launch. Microsoft unveiled Recall in May, pitching it as an “explorable timeline of your PC’s past.” When enabled, Recall will record all user actions on Copilot Plus PCs, taking “snapshots” of the screen at 5-second intervals.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy last week announced that the company’s more than 350,000 office workers will be required to work in the office five days a week by default.
