Man Utd legend Gary Neville has been criticised by Craig Burley over his comments about Ruben Amorim’s potential successor. The Red Devils made the decision to sack Amorim on Monday after Man Utd came from a goal down to draw 1-1 against Leeds at the weekend. Reports have indicated that Man Utd had already made their mind up about Amorim before the Leeds fixture after he ‘blew up’ in a meeting with director of football Jason Wilcox. Amorim is latest in a long list of managers who have failed to get Man Utd challenging for the Premier League title post-Sir…

We often hear about technology crossing over from motorsport. But if hydrogen fuel cells ever do make it to mainstream cars, it’s looking as though trucks, not racing, will play a major part in establishing the technology first. Bosch sees hydrogen as a major contributor to decarbonisation in the future and has recently put an articulated lorry powered by its fuel cell power module (FCPM) into service at its plant in Nuremberg, Germany. It has good reason to feel positive about a future hydrogen economy. Bosch expects a global hydrogen energy capacity of 100-170GW and sales revenue for the company running…

Source: YouTube/Nvidia Nvidia used its CES keynote to issue a blunt warning: AI’s next breakthroughs will be limited by compute, not ambition.

In the keynote, Huang laid out Nvidia’s move beyond chips into full AI platforms, connecting agents, robotics, and systems to limits on computing scale.

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) dominated enterprise IT in 2025, just has generative AI (GenAI) had done from late 2022 onwards. Behind both stands many years of traditional AI, based on machine learning, advanced statistical analytics, predictive modelling and so on.What will 2026 bode? The most likely thesis is that all forms of artificial intelligence (AI) will combine and converge more, with an enterprise need for governance moulding how that convergence will take shape.The question of whether the AI bubble in the global stock markets will burst is an interesting one, but not one with much significance for enterprise IT in…

I’m seeing a ton of smart bird feeders again this year at CES — and I’m inexplicably drawn to them. Perhaps because the idea of birds nibbling on seeds and flying away represents a natural purity and freedom that doesn’t exist within the halls of CES. Birdbuddy was one of the first smart bird feeder brands, with a wildly successful Kickstarter back in 2020. And this year, they’ve added birdsong to their species identification capabilities.Two new feeders, the Birdbuddy 2 and the Birdbuddy 2 Mini both have the new feature, but the latter is a more affordable, starter version. The…

Ruben Amorim has irked one BBC journalist by not letting him watch him work, while a ‘peculiar’ training tactic is revealed. Plus, who could be the Telegraph’s source?   Ruben Amorim says no to voyeurs! There’s a plethora of ‘inside stories’ of Ruben Amorim’s sacking by Manchester United, but Mediawatch is absolutely here for the columns from those journalists who can barely see beyond the end of their own noses, which are so easily put out of joint by restricted access.
