The Technology section pulls from the tech wire hourly — product news, industry moves, and the culture around computing.

Announcements are not products The tech industry announces far more than it ships. Dates slip, features get cut, and demos are staged under ideal conditions. Coverage of an announcement tells you a company's intent; coverage of a shipped product in reviewers' hands tells you what is real.

Reading AI news AI coverage deserves particular care: benchmark results and lab demonstrations often outpace what deployed products do day to day, and both enthusiasm and alarm sell headlines. The steady signal is what tools people actually use, and what they measurably change.

The hype cycle is real Most technologies are overestimated in the short run and underestimated in the long run. When every headline says a technology will change everything by next year, the truth is usually slower and stranger.
