Google Pixel 10 tipped to launch on August 20 with gimbal-level stabilisation
According to a report by Android Headlines, the Pixel 10 lineup, which is expected to include the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, will introduce 'heavily upgraded image stabilisation' designed to deliver performance on par with physical gimbals.
While previous Pixel models already offered effective stabilisation, this new upgrade aims to offer smoother, shake-free videos, rivalling dedicated camera hardware. Google is reportedly planning to market this enhancement as an 'Action mode', similar to what Apple introduced in recent iPhones.
This would likely involve fusing footage from the primary and ultrawide sensors in real time to reduce motion blur and jitters. If accurate, this feature could make the Pixel 10 a compelling choice for vloggers, travellers, and content creators who record on the move.
The Pixel 10 range is expected to debut with Google's upcoming Tensor G5 chipset, offering further AI and camera enhancements. The report also claims the smartphones will be available for pre-order on launch day (20 August), with general availability starting from 28 August.
While Google has not officially confirmed the event date, the August timeline would continue the company's recent tradition of late-summer hardware launches.
If these reports hold true, the Pixel 10 series could mark a significant leap forward in mobile videography, positioning itself as a top choice for users seeking flagship-level camera performance, particularly in the area of stabilised, high-quality video capture.

Will The EU Delay Enforcing Its AI Act?
With less than a month to go before parts of the European Union's AI Act come into force, companies are calling for a pause in the provisions and getting support from some politicians. Groups representing big U.S. tech companies such as Google owner Alphabet and Facebook owner Meta, and European companies such as Mistral and ASML have urged the European Commission to delay the AI Act by years. What Is The August 2 Deadline? Under the landmark act that was passed a year earlier after intense debate between EU countries, its provisions would come into effect in a staggered manner over several years. Some important provisions, including rules for general purpose AI (GPAI) models, are due to apply on August 2. GPAI, which includes foundation models like those made by Google, Mistral and OpenAI, will be subject to transparency requirements such as drawing up technical documentation, complying with EU copyright law and providing detailed summaries about the content used for algorithm training. The companies will also need to test for bias, toxicity, and robustness before launching. AI models classed as posing a systemic risk and high-impact GPAI will have to conduct model evaluations, assess and mitigate risks, conduct adversarial testing, report to the European Commission on serious incidents and provide information on their energy efficiency. Why Do Companies Want A Pause? For AI companies, the enforcement of the act means additional costs for compliance. And for ones that make AI models, the requirements are tougher. But companies are also unsure how to comply with the rules as there are no guidelines yet. The AI Code of Practice, a guidance document to help AI developers to comply with the act, missed its publication date of May 2. "To address the uncertainty this situation is creating, we urge the Commission to propose a two-year 'clock-stop' on the AI Act before key obligations enter into force," said an open letter published on Thursday by a group of 45 European companies. It also called for simplification of the new rules. Another concern is that the act may stifle innovation, particularly in Europe where companies have smaller compliance teams than their U.S. counterparts. Will It Be Postponed? The European Commission has not yet commented on whether it will postpone the enforcement of the new rules in August. However, EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen promised on Wednesday to publish the AI Code of Practice before next month. Some political leaders, such as Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, have also called the AI rules "confusing" and asked the EU to pause the act. "A bold 'stop-the-clock' intervention is urgently needed to give AI developers and deployers legal certainty, as long as necessary standards remain unavailable or delayed," tech lobbying group CCIA Europe said. The European Commission did not respond immediately to requests for comment.

Forbes unveils 50 richest self-made women of 2025: China and Hong Kong lead, US follows, tech dominates
Forbes has released its landmark 2025 ranking of the world's 50 richest self-made women, revealing a striking global trend: China and Hong Kong together account for 18 of the 50 women on the list—the highest representation by any region. The United States is the second-highest, with 16 women featured, reflecting both regions' deep-rooted entrepreneurial cultures and global influence. This elite group, spanning 13 countries and four continents, collectively holds approximately $276 billion in wealth, with an average net worth of $5.5 billion. The minimum net worth to make the list is $2.1 billion. Their fortunes cover 14 different industries, with technology standing out as the most dominant sector. Retail, real estate, and manufacturing also feature prominently. 'Self-made women now constitute 3.5% of all billionaires—a modest figure, but about 50% higher than in 2017,' Forbes notes, highlighting both progress and the persistent gender wealth gap . Meet the top 5 Rafaela Aponte-Diamant leads the list, having co-founded the Mediterranean Shipping Company, now the world's largest shipping line with over 136,000 employees and 900 vessels. She started with a $200,000 loan and remains active at age 80, overseeing ship interiors and serving on the MSC Foundation board. Diane Hendricks is the wealthiest American, co-founding ABC Supply, a giant in roofing and siding distribution. Zhong Huijuan is China's richest self-made woman, having built Hansoh Pharmaceuticals into a $1.7 billion revenue powerhouse, focusing on oncology and autoimmune treatments. Zhou Qunfei is the world's richest self-made woman in tech, running Lens Technology, a key supplier for Apple, Samsung , and Tesla. Melanie Perkins, at 38, is the youngest, having co-founded Canva, the design software sensation. Technology leads the way Among the 50 richest self-made women, technology is the leading sector, with 14 women generating their fortunes in this field. Notably, Zhou Qunfei of Hong Kong, valued at approximately $10 billion, heads Hunan-based Lens Technology, a major supplier of touch screens to global giants like Apple, Samsung, and Tesla. The tech sector's dominance is further underscored by the presence of several founders and executives in software, IT, and electronics manufacturing, reflecting the transformative impact of technology on global wealth creation for women. The gender wealth gap Despite the increasing number of women entering entrepreneurship and achieving billionaire status, a significant disparity persists between men and women at the top. The 50 richest self-made men globally are collectively worth $3.8 trillion—14 times greater than the combined wealth of the 50 wealthiest women. Furthermore, men control 96% of the world's self-made billionaire wealth, with women holding just 4%. There are 1,920 male self-made billionaires worldwide, compared to a much smaller number of women, underscoring the ongoing challenges to gender parity in global wealth.
