Polestar is the anti-Tesla. It’s obvious that Polestar wants to do things differently, and ultimately in a way it says is better. Maybe not better at making money, but better at making a difference. Now Polestar’s CEO, Thomas Ingenlath, is again directing his ire and criticism at the posers in…
In terms of typical NBN speeds, Superloop has consistently remained at the front of the pack. If you’re someone who has the need for speed and loves a good bargain, the provider is currently running promotional offers for its NBN 250 and NBN 1000 plans. With this discount, you can…
Taillights are an important part of vehicle design. Our own Jason Torchinsky might say, the most important. Done right, they can almost bring the whole vehicle together. Done poorly, they can be terrible and distracting and ruin an otherwise Good Car. One of my favourite taillight designs is the current-gen of…

Tyrannosaurus rex is perhaps the most famous of all dinosaurs. It and its closest kin, a group referred to as “tyrannosaurs”, have been embedded in popular culture as powerful and mobile predators. Consider the below scene from the 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park; an adult T. rex chases down a…
On Monday, Scott Morrison announced a royal commission into veteran suicides — the fourth royal commission set up under his prime ministership. But while Morrison says he hopes this will be a “healing process” and it comes after sustained community lobbying, we know royal commissions don’t always fix problems. Only…
I recently purchased two vehicles at auctions in Japan. As one has reached America — and the other awaits its boat — this seems like a good time to answer some of your questions about vehicle importation. Many readers want to know how importing a car from Europe works.
Friends, family, past and current Apple TV users, we are gathered here today to mourn the loss of the very best remote for streaming.
A long-awaited project for the Jim Henson Company is finally taking a step toward production: Muppet Man, a biopic of puppeteering legend Jim Henson (The Muppets, Fraggle Rock, Sesame Street, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth), has a writer aboard to pen a script about Henson’s remarkable career.
The Mother of Dragons conquered Westeros; now, she’s coming for the comics industry. Actor Emilia Clarke — who just recently joined the MCU — has written a new superhero comic for Image. It’s titled M.O.M.: Mother of Madness, and it involves significantly more heroin-addicted raccoons than I would have guessed.
Apple’s little Bluetooth location-tracking AirTags are finally here and ready to be attached to your key rings, luggage handles, or whatever else you tend to lose and would very much like to find again. Sure, you can absolutely buy an AirTag and throw it in a bag without any covering…
In May 2019, astronomers witnessed a bright flare coming from the centre of our galaxy. The event was caused by matter accreting to our local black hole, a 4.6-million-solar-mass monster named Sagittarius A*. The cause of the flaring was unknown, though one researcher now says enigmatic “G-objects” may be responsible.
The site of a 19th-century cabin belonging to the family of Harriet Tubman has been uncovered in Maryland. It’s a significant find, as the location of the site, along with the discovery of numerous artifacts, could offer fresh insights into the abolitionist hero’s formative years.
As a former Tetris fanatic, the idea of an operating system that only runs Tetris, over and over again forever, is fairly compelling. First, my workday would be completely different. Gone are Zoom meetings, mid-morning Slack standups, and endless writing. In fact, a computer that can only play Tetris would…
After nearly a century of probing the nature of tiny, ephemeral objects called excitons, researchers finally managed to image the structure, hinting at the true location of an electron. The findings could eventually help physicists create new states of matter or new quantum technologies.
My phone time is usually spent sanding down the edges of my mind on TikTok and Twitter, with a “healthy” dose of emailing, calendar massaging, and capital-S Slacking to get things done. But recently, a new category of app has crept up my iPhone Screen Time leaderboard: gaming, especially through…

Apple showed off its new M1-powered iMac yesterday, and it sure does come in a lot of beautiful colours. Aside from the processor, there are a few neat features, like a magnetic power cord and an Ethernet port in the power block, and the entire thing has been slimmed down…
The fossilised shoulder joint of an early hominin named “Little Foot” suggests the upright-walking species was also proficient at swinging through trees, at a skill long gone among modern humans.
In the already-glum world of climate research, tipping points are one of the least rosy areas of study. The collapse of crucial systems in response to passing certain levels of planetary heating isn’t exactly uplifting stuff.
While all eyes were on the colourful M1 iMacs at yesterday’s Spring Loaded event, Apple also quietly updated the M1 Mac Mini. You can now configure it with a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port!
A sequel to 47 Ronin is coming, with some cyberpunk flair. Stellan Skarsgard teases his role in Dune. Greg Russo wants to go back to the manga for the Death Note sequel. Plus, what’s coming on Supergirl, and Showtime’s The Man Who Fell to Earth adaptation picks up another actor. Spoilers,…
As an Android user, I sometimes feel defeated after sitting through an Apple event, especially when there are new, covetable tablets like the iPad Pro. It reminds me that there are too few viable alternatives in Android land.
Ford isn’t willing to sell you an old-fashioned three-box sedan anymore. But if you live in China, it’ll give you something that vaguely resembles one, called the Evos.

From the very beginning of the new Mortal Kombat, it’s clear the filmmakers are trying something different with this particular video game adaptation. But, instead of us explaining that, why don’t you just watch it for yourself?
I was given a Vornado fan for my birthday earlier this year, and my life has been infinitely better since. To be fair, I’m not big in the fan technology space and could’ve been just as happy with whatever in-house tech brand Kmart is repping these days. But now? I…
Cybercriminals claim to have stolen blueprints for some of Apple’s newest products and are attempting to extort the tech giant in the lead-up to Tuesday’s much-anticipated Spring Loaded product launch.
On Monday, there were murmurs Apple might launch a podcast subscription service. Today, those rumours came true. Kind of. Instead of Podcast+, we’re getting what’s basically a redesign of the Apple Podcasts app — and Apple Podcasts Subscriptions, a new, Patreon-like program for creators.
It’s a new Adventure Time trailer, come on and grab your friends, and we’ll go to Distant Lands — specifically, “Together Again,” the third special in the four-part series which brings back the stars of the original show.
Seems like no one is keeping an eye on what polluters are doing in the Gulf of Mexico. For decades, the U.S. federal government has allowed the oil and gas industry to abandon almost all ocean pipeline infrastructure it no longer uses without further cleanup — and barely monitors the…
