Microsoft plans to launch its next-generation Xbox , codenamed Helix , in time for the 2028 holiday season, according to a Fortune report. The console could be priced between $1,200 and $1,800 unless Microsoft subsidizes it. The high cost is tied to rising memory prices. AI data centers have taken up most memory and storage production, pushing DRAM and NAND costs up five times. The Xbox Series X launched in 2020 at $500, and Microsoft has already raised its price several times. A handheld Xbox may come sooner, possibly by the 2027 holiday season. Unlike the Asus-made ROG Xbox Ally, which runs on Windows, it would likely play digital Xbox console games. The report also says Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who replaced Phil Spencer earlier this year, wants to turn Game Pass into an à la carte service where users pick specific add-ons and online features. She has said she wants to make the service more affordable. Sony faces similar pressure. The PlayStation 5 Pro now sells fo...

Filipinos can now have documents notarized electronically anywhere in the country. The Supreme Court rolled out the service, giving commissioned electronic notaries public the ability to notarize qualified digital documents through accredited platforms. The Supreme Court’s e-notarization puts into practice the Rules on Electronic Notarization under A.M. No. 24-10-14-SC. The Supreme Court En Banc gave its approval to these rules on February 4, 2025. Two modes of electronic notarization are allowed under the rules. One is In-Person Electronic Notarization (IEN), where the signer must appear in person before the electronic notary. The other is Remote Electronic Notarization (REN), which takes place over videoconferencing. Notaries may also use a mix of both. Electronic notaries public with a commission can perform electronic notarial acts outside the territorial boundaries that limit traditional notaries, as long as they comply with the rules. Documents must be s...

More Philippine companies are turning to artificial intelligence, with adoption climbing 52% over the last year. A study commissioned by Amazon Web Services reported that 32% of local businesses now use AI. That is up from 21% in 2025 and translates to over 396,000 firms. Technology companies topped the list at 49%, followed by financial services at 45% and professional services at 40%. Results showed gains for those who took the plunge.

Public chatbots, productivity tools, and off-the-shelf solutions remain the main applications for 70% of adopters. Eighteen percent have spread AI across several functions, while 12% employ advanced setups like custom systems and agentic AI. A formal plan for wider AI use exists in only 1...
