Exclusive: Shanaya Kapoor`s Student of the Year 3 set to go on floors

Will it happen? Will it not? For the past six years, the question has loomed large over Student of the Year 3 (SOTY 3), which was to launch Shanaya Kapoor in Bollywood. Now, mid-day has learnt that the third instalment of the Karan Johar-backed campus caper is set to go on floors later this month. No prizes for guessing that Kapoor will headline the project that will roll in Mumbai. While some things remain constant in SOTY 3, some aspects have undergone an overhaul. The latest edition of the campus drama will be a web series, unlike the first two film instalments. Debutant director Reema Maya, who previously helmed the 2023 acclaimed short Nocturnal Burger, will be in charge of the six-episode show. “SOTY 3 has been taking shape for the past six years. Finally, Karan has given the gr...

Siri’s Apple Intelligence Upgrades Are Likely Delayed Until iOS 19

When Apple first revealed Apple Intelligence, its slate of generative AI features, a huge part of that announcement was a super-charged Siri. No longer would Apple's digital assistant be lagging behind competitors like Google: With the power of AI, the new Siri might actually be useful.When Apple Intelligence drops in full, Siri will reportedly be much more contextually aware, and be able to scan what's on your phone to understand and answer questions you ask. If your friend sends you their new address, you can ask Siri "add this address to their contact card." You don't need to specify which address or which contact, because the assistant will, according to Apple, be able to understand that by what's currently on-screen. Another huge feature is the ability to ask Siri to take action for y...

Before election, feds urged classified briefings for opposition leaders – National

A newly released memo shows federal officials recommended almost a year ago that leaders of major opposition parties receive regular classified briefings — not only on foreign interference but also violent extremism and overseas conflicts. The internal memo says the proposed briefings, to be co-ordinated by the Privy Council Office, would ensure security-cleared leaders, as well as designated alternates, are offered an “intelligence-informed understanding” of the threats facing Canadians.The PCO, the federal unit that supports the prime minister, recently released the memo to The Canadian Press in response to an Access to Information request filed last year.It comes as Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre continues to face questions on the campaign trail about his refusal to seek the top s...

U.S. President Donald Trump has picked a side in the long-standing debate over daylight saving time, saying Friday he wants to see clocks in the U.S. permanently sprung forward. Trump posted his take on Truth Social a day after U.S. senators held a hearing on eliminating the twice-annual time change and whether to keep more daylight in the morning or evening hours.“The House and Senate should push hard for more Daylight at the end of a day,” Trump wrote. “Very popular and, most importantly, no more changing of the clocks, a big inconvenience and, for our government, A VERY COSTLY EVENT!!!”The new comment marked a change from last month, when Trump declined to weigh in on the debate, calling it a “50/50 issue.”“If something is a 50/50 issue, it’s hard to get excited about it,” he told repor...
