Apple to Bring Touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro with Dynamic Island in 2026

Bloomberg reports Apple is developing a touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro that replaces the notch with an interactive Dynamic Island and updates macOS to be more touch-friendly, including on-screen controls and iPad-style gestures. The 14-inch and 16-inch models are expected to launch toward the end of 2026, powered by M6 Pro/Max chips on a 2-nm process, while Apple keeps the keyboard and trackpad and plans two refreshes in 2026.

Mac users gain a new Windows-emulation path as GameHub heads to macOS

GameSir is bringing its Windows-emulation tool GameHub to macOS to let Macs run Windows/Steam games without a Windows install, touting native-like performance and AI frame interpolation, but early feedback suggests compatibility remains hit-or-miss and privacy questions from the Android version linger; it’s another imperfect option rather than a Proton-like breakthrough.

ClawHub OpenClaw Case: 341 Malicious Skills Steal Data

Security researchers found 341 malicious skills in ClawHub’s OpenClaw marketplace out of 2,857 analyzed, linked to the ClawHavoc campaign that pushes a macOS data-stealer via fake prerequisites and staged installers, exfiltrating API keys and credentials. Attackers use a GitHub installer flow, obfuscated scripts, and a C2 server (91.92.242.30) to fetch payloads, highlighting supply‑chain-like risks in open-source AI tooling. OpenClaw has added a reporting feature to auto‑hide disputed skills after multiple reports, while researchers warn about memory-based, delayed-execution attacks enabled by persistent AI agent state.

The dock, tied to the Command Palette, can be pinned to any screen edge and host extensions like RAM/CPU info and shortcuts. It’s an early proof-of-concept, with customization options (location, appearance, regions) and a call for GitHub feedback; if popular, it could become an official feature.
