New MacBook Pro models with the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips could arrive as soon as Monday, March 2, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. In today’s ”Power On” newsletter, Gurman said that the release of new MacBook Pro models is tied to the release of macOS Tahoe 26.3. The launch is said to be slated for as early as the week of March 2. He added that the M4 Pro and M4 Max models on sale today remain in short supply, indicating that the launch of new models is close.

Apple’s next iPhone launch is expected to be one of its cheapest. With the new iPhone 17e, a follow up to last years first generation iPhone 16e – the company will add three important upgrades to the device, though one thing won’t be changing: the price.

Hundreds of skills for the AI agent OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot) were laced with malware.

VirusTotal flagged the issue in a recent blog post. OpenClaw is a self-hosted AI agent that runs locally on your machine and can take real actions: executing shell commands, manipulating files, or making network requests. Users can expand what it does by installing community-built skills.

What VirusTotal found was that attackers had been packaging Trojans and data stealers as legitimate skills on the ClawHub platform. The skills themselves often looked clean, but they instructed the agent to download and run external payloads, including the well-known macOS Trojan Atomic Stealer. One user alone uploaded more than 300 infected skills.

It’s easy to forget that Sir Will Lewis’s arrival at the Washington Post in late 2023 provoked cautious optimism: He was an ex-journalist who charmed the newsroom. He was also a source of chaotic, but fresh, energy.

He arrived after years of genteel decline at a newspaper that could go one of two ways: It could be a collapsing metro paper like the Chicago Tribune; or a global powerhouse like the New York Times.

Lewis, who resigned today after overseeing deep cuts to the newsroom, lost his footing over two errors, one of his and one of owner Jeff Bezos’s: First, Lewis blocked the Post reporting on his role in the UK phone hacking scandal, preventing the publication of a story few would have read anyway. Then, Bezos pulled a planned endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris at the 11th hour, for apparent fear of offending Donald Trump. That endorsement wouldn’t have made much of a difference politically, but hundreds of thousands of subscribers canceled over what they saw as a craven capitulation.
