You Can ‘Fix’ Apple’s Liquid Glass Transparent Design

Change isn’t always easy. Case in point: “Liquid Glass.” Apple’s upcoming “26” updates for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Vision Pro introduce this new design language that adds a transparent, glassy look to icons, menus, and windows. Some people are digging it, while others are hating on it. And the haters are hating.I generally like the new look, though perhaps what I like best is that it matches across all of Apple’s products. It’s also nice to have a fresh look on Apple devices—especially the iPhone—for the first time in years. That said, I understand some of the criticisms: In the right conditions, these icons and menus look great, but depending on the background, it can be very difficult to read text or view certain elements.  Unless you download the latest Apple betas...

B.C. Sikh temple whose president was murdered calls for Modi’s G7 invite to be pulled

The British Columbia Sikh temple whose president was allegedly murdered by agents of the Indian government has written to Prime Minister Mark Carney expressing “deep disappointment” that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been invited to the upcoming G7 meeting. Last week, Modi confirmed he would attend the meeting, to be held in Kananaskis, Alta., from June 15 to 17.The move comes amid elevated tensions between the two countries following allegations of foreign interference and former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s public claims linking “agents of the Indian government” to the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, president of Surrey’s Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara and prominent advocate for an independent Sikh state. 2:05...

Apoorva Mukhija calls Maheep Kapoor `traitor`: `You’re literally Bollywood Wives

In the latest sneak peek from Prime Video’s upcoming reality show, The Traitors, tensions reach a fever pitch as players begin to turn on each other, and the paranoia starts to take its toll. The fight to unmask the Traitor has officially begun, turning allies into threats and doubts into daggers. Apoorva Mukhija calls Maheep Kapoor a traitor Apoorva turns the tables with a chilling accusation, “100&#37 Maheep is a traitor.” What begins as a pointed suspicion soon unravels into something far more personal. “Get some acting classes. You’re literally Bollywood Wives.” The words hit hard—sharp, intentional, and impossible to ignore. Is Maheep really the Traitor? Or has Apoorva misjudged her? The truth is still buried and only time will say. Maheep, meanwhile, remains composed. “Sabki a...

Poilievre calls for ‘severe limits’ on Canadian population growth – National

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says the Canadian population has grown out of control and is calling on the Liberal government to further reduce immigration. “We want severe limits on population growth to reverse the damage the Liberals did to our system,” Poilievre said during a press conference Tuesday in the foyer of the House of Commons.“The population has been growing out of control, our border has been left wide open.

AI minister says focus is more on economic benefits, less on regulation – National

Canada’s new minister of artificial intelligence said Tuesday he’ll put less emphasis on AI regulation and more on finding ways to harness the technology’s economic benefits. In his first speech since becoming Canada’s first-ever AI minister, Evan Solomon said Canada will move away from “over-indexing on warnings and regulation” to make sure the economy benefits from AI.His regulatory focus will be on data protection and privacy, he told the audience at an event in Ottawa Tuesday morning organized by the think tank Canada 2020.Solomon said regulation isn’t about finding “a saddle to throw on the bucking bronco called AI innovation. That’s hard. But it is to make sure that the horse doesn’t kick people in the face. And we need to protect people’s data and their privacy.”The previous governm...

‘Scant progress’ offloading federal office space for affordable housing: AG – National

The federal government has made little headway on its pledge to get rid of unused office space and transform some of it into affordable housing. A report released Tuesday by Auditor General Karen Hogan found that Public Services and Procurement Canada has made “scant progress” on that commitment, reducing its office footprint by only two per cent between 2019 and 2024.The department planned to cut office space by 50 per cent by 2034, estimating it could save nearly $4 billion over the next decade.But Hogan says there has been little movement on the initiative, which could also alleviate the housing crisis. The auditor general blamed the inaction “mainly on a lack of funding.” 1:36 Report gives ...

Oral, gut bacteria may worsen Parkinson`s disease: Study

Bacteria in the mouth and gut may play a significant role in the progression of cognitive decline in Parkinson`s disease, according to a study. Specific changes in the gut microbiome have been associated with the shift from mild memory issues to dementia, a common and distressing symptom of the disease. While Parkinson`s is currently very difficult to diagnose in its early stages, these changes in the microbiome could potentially act as early warning signs of Parkinson`s, said the researchers from King`s College London. It may help doctors detect and treat the disease before symptoms become severe. "The human gut and oral bacterial communities are increasingly linked to neurodegenerative diseases. Disruptions in the gut-brain axis could trigger inflammation and immune responses that co...
