We’re less than a day out from Microsoft’s 2019 Surface event, though that hasn’t stopped some last minute leaks. It looks like we may be blessed with a new Surface Pro 7, a thin 2-in-1 and two Surface Laptop 3s. We’re also holding out hope for the dual-screen Surface that…
The new iPhones have only been out for a few weeks, but the telcos are already trying to outdo each other on plans. Case in point – Optus has a real good iPhone 11 Pro deal going right now.
Nokia just announced two brand new phones for the Aussie market – the Nokia 7.2 and the Nokia 2720 Flip. The latter is a throwback to the mid 2000s when flip phones were all the rage. Now its back, and real cheap.
Hong Kong Police shot a teen protester in the chest with live ammunition Tuesday, according to reports from journalists on the ground and a video that has gone viral on Facebook and Twitter. Video of the incident shows a Hong Kong police officer charging a crowd of protesters with his…
The Harley Quinn rises. Margot Robbie is here to kick arse and shimmy some shoulders in the first official movie teaser for Birds of Prey (and the Emancipation of One Fabulous Harley Quinn).
Comic book fans often pit Marvel and DC’s respective properties against one another because the publishers and the live-action movies based on their IP represent two of the largest corporate titans in the larger entertainment industry, but there are few things more exhausting then fans’ desire to “prove” whether DC…
It’s now been over a decade since Susanna Clarke exploded onto the scene with Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, an eye-popping magical adventure. Fifteen years later, she’s finally back with a follow-up novel about a watery labyrinth and its many mysteries. But that’s not all we can expect from Clarke.
When the Nissan R35 GT-R came out in 2007, it ate Porsches for breakfast. It quickly established itself as nothing short of a missile on four wheels and with a sub-$120,000 price tag, it was the ultimate bang-for-your-buck deal of the century. It’s time for a little revisit of the…
Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta’s The Leftovers began airing on HBO in 2014, and quietly concluded its stellar run in 2017, after three years of fantastic, thought-provoking TV. But despite it being dubbed one of the greatest TV shows of all time at its conclusion, even two years on, The…
I am lucky enough to be a professional “alien hunter” for the Breakthrough Listen project, which is the biggest search for extraterrestrial intelligence we humans have ever undertaken.
While Titans has gotten properly back into the swing of things from a pacing standpoint, there are still moments where the show slips up a little as it’s trying to give each member of its sprawling cast of heroes and villains enough screen time to make their subplots compelling. This…
The door isn’t totally closed, folks. Rey may have physically and metaphorically cut herself off from Kylo Ren at the end of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but further developing their “complicated relationship” is still a big part of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Not too long ago, we here at Giz Asks contemplated what might happen if the entire internet shut down at once. One imaginative stumbling block, in playing out the implications of that scenario, was how something like that could happen in the first place. And so — without advocating any…
I had it all planned out. On the subway ride home, I’d been futzing around in the Jacquard app, assigning actions to my Levi’s Trucker Jacket with Jacquard by Google. A simple double-tap to the wrist cuff as I neared my apartment, and when I walked through the door, I’d…
Despite what the inventors of the world want you to believe, not everything in your home needs to be intelligent, automated, and motorised — except your garbage cans. The inventor of the SmartCan wants to ensure you’ll never again forget it’s trash day, because these cans automatically drive themselves to…
One of the most popular mobile games in the globe has reportedly been breached by a prolific hacker.
Following the Duffer Brothers hinting at the promise of more Stranger Things, Netflix has dropped the first teaser trailer for the series’ next season. And things are looking grim.
And that’s not the only horror movie teasing some returns today. USA’s dramatisation of the making of Doom finds its masters. Get a look at Apple TV+’s new Ghostwriter series. Plus, what’s to come on the CW’s endless litany of genre shows, and it’s already time to start the rumour…
Electric scooters are all the rage here in the 21st century, with companies like Lime, Bird and even Uber dumping them in cities around the world. But our generation obviously didn’t invent the motorised scooter. If you needed any evidence, just check out this film from the Chicago Film Archives…
Gotta love the quiet moments. Especially if you just defeated a supervillain on what was supposed to be your holiday.
These past few weeks have not been great for arsehole bosses on Twitter.
Everything about The Addams Family beyond the (admittedly great) casting has confused me. A new animated adaptation of the creepy family? OK, I get it, but the art style… seems a little off? The plot involves them, uh, going to New Jersey? And there’s been almost no marketing? Every bit…
The pick of the litter, for my money (I have no money), is a Koenigsegg One:1, which went for $US4.6 ($7) million and which Koenigsegg was previously extremely mad online about. But there are just so many, including a McLaren P1 ($2 million), a Lamborghini Veneno ($12 million), an Aston…
Hurricane Lorenzo has set records as it blasts its way through the central Atlantic, becoming a category 5 hurricane on Sunday before weakening back down to category 3 status by early Monday, CNN reported.
The 2019 edition of Fantastic Fest, which wrapped up yesterday, once again lived up to its name. Over the course of several days I saw movie after movie and, after 19 total, there was only one I considered “bad.” That’s pretty fantastic.
LG recently announced the arrival of its first OLED 8K television in Australia. As we learned from the likes of Samsung and Sony this year, 8K tellies are pricey. But even we weren’t prepared for LG’s ‘hold my beer’ price tag.
A newly discovered strain of malware transforms PCs into what Microsoft ominously calls “zombie proxies” using otherwise legitimate programs, and the company claims it’s infected thousands of computers across the U.S. and Europe.
The Joker is having a strange moment right now. A DC icon, one of the most charismatic villains to ever to grace comics and screen, potential incel idol and an incitement to violence? In 2019, he occupies all of these cultural positions, which can make parsing the character himself somewhat…
This Friday is perhaps the most important date in a Star Wars fan’s calendar this year outside, of, well, you know… December 19, 2019. Because who wants to just see a new Star Wars movie when you can buy all the toys from it months in advance, too? That’s what…
The iPhone 11 family is here, repping bigger batteries, more cameras, and far too many plan options. If you want to get your iPhone 11 through a telco, the decision isn’t exactly easy. There are three models, each available in three different storage variants. That’s nine different phones, with at…
It looks like Google’s dessert-themed naming scheme isn’t the only thing getting replaced with Android 10. YouTube Music is kicking Google Play Music aside as Android’s prepackaged music player, YouTube announced Saturday. The app will come bundled with all devices launching with Android 10.
We’re drawing nearer to Joker’s theatrical release, and as we do we’re seeing more theatres across the country respond to the possibility, credible or otherwise, of the film being a possible flashpoint for incel violence.
Oh, dear me, it’s the aliens.
