Meta Leapfrogs Into In-Lens Displays with New Ray-Ban Smart Glasses Meta has unveiled its newest smart glasses in collaboration with Ray-Ban, introducing an in-lens display and advanced AI integrations that mark a significant upgrade over earlier generations. These glasses, priced at US$799, are set to go on sale in the U.S. from 30 September 2025 with wider global availability in 2026. The standout innovation is a built-in display embedded in the right lens, which allows for augmented reality (AR)-style interactions: navigation, messaging, video calls, translations, captions, etc. A supporting Neural Band (“wristband”) detects electrical impulses from the arm to enable gesture-based controls such as selection, swipes, or “typing” motions with fingers. Beyond the display and gesture band, these glasses retain many of the features of earlier Ray-Ban Meta models: open-ear speakers, multiple microphones, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera. There are more than 150 frame and lens combinations via Ray-Ban’s customization platform, prescription-lens compatibility, and new styles (e.g. Skyler and Wayfarer). The glasses feature a full-color, monocular heads-up display embedded in the right lens, with a resolution of 600×600 pixels, a 20-degree field of view, and about 42 pixels per degree. The refresh rate of the display itself is 90Hz (though content is rendered at about 30Hz), and its brightness range spans from roughly 30 to 5,000 nits, offering strong visibility in both dim and bright conditions. Under the hood, the hardware is built around the Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen1 chipset. The camera is a 12MP module that supports photo and video capture, with off-ear speakers, a five-mic array, voice control, and augmented reality-AI features like live translation, captions, and visual overlays. #MetaGlasses #RayBans #MarkZuckerberg #ARVR #AugmentedReality
ABC Suspends “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” After Backlash Over Charlie Kirk Remarks ABC has suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! following intense criticism of comments the late-night host made about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The move came after mounting pressure from affiliates, regulators, and political figures, raising questions about free speech and the future of the long-running program. During his monologue earlier this week, Kimmel suggested that people in “MAGA land” were working to “capitalize” on Kirk’s death. The comments quickly drew scrutiny after reports indicated that the suspected shooter, Tyler Robinson, had no known right-wing affiliations. The backlash grew louder when Nexstar Communications Group, which operates 23 ABC affiliates, announced it would no longer air the show, calling the remarks "offensive and insensitive." Further pressure came from Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr, who criticized Kimmel’s remarks and suggested possible regulatory action against ABC and parent company Disney. His intervention prompted Democratic lawmakers to demand Carr’s resignation, warning that government pressure on broadcasters threatens press freedoms. Former President Donald Trump, speaking in the United Kingdom, celebrated ABC’s decision, claiming Kimmel had been “fired for lack of talent” and poor ratings. Neither Disney nor ABC confirmed Trump’s claims, framing the move as an “indefinite suspension.” Kimmel’s current contract runs until May 2026, leaving his long-term status unclear. The decision has ignited a broader debate over the role of political commentary in entertainment. While critics say Kimmel crossed a line, defenders argue that suspending a comedian for controversial speech endangers artistic expression. For now, ABC has not said whether the show will return, but the controversy has already reshaped the conversation around comedy, politics, and free speech on American television. #JimmyKimmel #DonaldTrump

On the occasion of Prime Minister Modi's 75th birthday, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, extended his warm wishes, saying, “It is a great honor to wish Prime Minister Modi a very happy 75th birthday. In these challenging and uncertain times, having true friends matters more than ever, and Modi Ji has consistently been a strong friend both to me personally and to Britain. I am pleased to witness the growing strength of UK-India relations. Our recent England-India Test series was a wonderful reminder of the many shared interests and cultural ties between our two nations. Coming from a British-Indian family, this special relationship holds a deep personal significance for me. I will always cherish the memory of visiting India in 2023 for the G20 summit alongside Akshata – an event that truly reflected India's prominent role on the global stage. Modiji, I wish you health, happiness, and continued success on your birthday, and I look forward to meeting you again soon.” #modiji #75th #RishiSunak #wishes #Birthday
