Top Gear America, the franchise's second swing directly at the U.S. market, officially airs next month and the first trailer is finally here. The good news is that it looks like Top Gear. The bad news might be that it looks like Top Gear.

Part of what makes Spider-Man Spider-Man is his ingenuity. His ability to make things on his own and be an independent superhero. Which is why some fans were concerned when trailers for Spider-Man Homecoming made it seem like Tony Stark did most of the work for him.

A couple of weeks ago I was braving the big crowds of E3 to meet with the Nvidia team, and while I was ostensibly there to check out Destiny 2 on a PC, what I really wanted to know was what the hell Max-Q Design was. Nvidia announced its new design philosophy back in May, and I'd spent the intervening weeks unable to shake the sense that this was all just a great big marketing ploy — an acknowledgement that Nvidia's most powerful GPUs often end up in great big computing monstrosities.

You finally have a reason to care about the (Honda in Australia) Acura ILX: at least one of them has survived the crucible of 200,000 miles of usage, and we have painfully detailed notes on its maintenance to see what it actually took to keep this little car running for so long over such a short period of time.

On Wednesday, ProPublica published dozens of startling training documents reportedly used by Facebook to train moderators on hate speech. As the trove of slides and quizzes reveals, Facebook uses a warped, one-sided reasoning to balance policing hate speech against users' freedom of expression on the platform. This is perhaps best summarized by the above image from one of its training slideshows, wherein Facebook instructs moderators to protect "White Men," but not "Female Drivers" or "Black Children."

Researchers at Liverpool John Moore's University have reconstructed the face of a man who lived in Dublin some 500 years ago. Incredibly accurate reconstructions like this are providing archaeologists with new way of studying the past — while also allowing them to visualise some of the most forgotten figures in history.

With electricity prices on the rise and an uncertain future ahead for Australian electricity, it's not surprising that more and more Aussies are looking at the option of home batteries.

If you go outside in Sydney today and look up into the sky, you might see four particularly weird aircraft. Kinda like planes, kinda like helicopters. Don't be alarmed, we're not being invaded. Here's what they are.

On Wednesday, WikiLeaks released the latest issue in its ongoing Vault 7 series — a trove of secret or otherwise classified US Central Intelligence Agency files from 2013 to 2016 describing previously undisclosed malware and viruses.

The Fair Work Ombudsmen is currently looking at Uber's workplace relations practices to see if the ride sharing company is complying with Australian law for its drivers.

Remember 10 years ago when director Michael Bay took the simply designed cartoon Transformers of the '80s and made them into ultra-complex, shiny beings with so many moving parts they made no sense? Well, what Bay did to the Transformers themselves is what he's done to the fifth film in the franchise, The Last Knight. 

BMW is looking to save some cash as it invests in electric, hybrid and autonomous vehicles. To do so, Reuters reports, the company is going to drop manual variants of the BMW 2 Series, one of Jalopnik's favourite cars — which seems like the opposite of getting their mojo back. But BMW's U.S. spokespeople dispute the report and say that at least for now the 2 Series in our market will keep the manual.

You think our galaxy is special? Ha. Our boring pinwheel of gas and dark matter might be a nice hangout for humans. But 750 or so million light years away, there's an elliptical galaxy, Galaxy 0402+379, whose two supermassive black holes are orbiting each other from a distance of only 24 or so light years. Their combined mass is around 15 billion times that of our Sun.

From Twin Peaks to Castlevania, Lord Of The Rings to the latest season of Game Of Thrones - here's just a taste of what Netflix, Foxtel, Amazon Prime and Stan are streaming for the month of July.

Availability of spare parts is getting worse. Repairs are delayed. Jets aren't available when needed and pilots can't get enough training hours. Surprise, everyone. The F-35 is still a spectacularly inefficient, super expensive shitshow that continues be the leader in military procurement mismanagement.

Despite selling $US50,000 Android mobile phones to rich and famous stars like Quincy Jones and Seal, the England-based company Vertu appears to be struggling with paying its bills and employees. What a shocking development.
