A future is coming where your pooch is made of plastics — and it’s not as far away as you’d think.
Who here likes planets? I know I do—hell, I even live on one! I suspect there’s many fellow planet-enthusiasts out there, which is why I decided to do this: try and find cars named for every planet in our solar system, including our disrespected pal, the dwarf planet Pluto. Aside…
Once the near exclusive domain of pro-drivers and the hardcorest of hardcore racing game dorks, iRacing has seen thousands of new users sign up for their hyper-realistic racing sim since Covid-19 shut the world down. Driven by televised races featuring real drivers and you know, the desperate need to spend…
Virgin Australia has given its biggest indication yet that it may be flying again soon.

As the impact of covid-19 continues to hammer away at virtually every industry on the planet, movie studios have been looking to find any way they can to work ahead on films that, thanks to lockdown restrictions, cannot feasibly shoot new material. One way? Flocking to countries that have started to…
In the 1990s, the creator of Gargoyles was in a meeting with the then-chairman of Disney, Michael Eisner. The meeting was about potentially buying a comic book company we’re all very familiar with.
The Renault Espace, which we once (wrongly) referred to as the world’s first minivan, is reportedly dead. Long live the Renault Espace.

The government of New Zealand lifted most of the country’s strict lockdown measures today after almost two months. What did New Zealanders do? They went to stores, they got tattoos, they met up with friends (in groups of no more than ten), and they got haircuts. Lots of haircuts.
Kids dream up imaginary friends all the time. But when a kid who happens to be a character in a scary movie suddenly announces an invisible new playmate, it’s never something to be treated lightly—a lesson that the family in Z, Shudder’s latest original, learns the hard way.
As many of us are sheltering in place or social distancing right now, our ways of connecting with friends and family have been severely limited. One way we’re still able to connect with others, regardless of their physical distance from us, is watching a movie together on the same streaming…
When the first photos of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune began to surface last month, my first instinct was to rewatch Jodorowsky’s Dune. The 2014 documentary directed by Frank Pavich tells the story of Dune by Alejandro Jodorowsky, aka, “the greatest movie never made.” My thought was watching it again would scratch…
Jay Inslee, the Democratic governor of Washington, changed the game by making the climate crisis the foundation of his presidential run last year.

Maybe I’m alone here, but almost two months later, I’m still thinking about a truly haunting tweet from America’s favourite unlicensed counselor, Dr. Phil McGraw. If you’ve forgotten it—as I have tried to, repeatedly, with no success—the tweet simply stated, “BIG KNIFE! SMALL WIFE!”
As impressive as Spider-Man’s abilities are, there’s not much that a superhero who shoots webs from his wrists can do to combat covid-19. But what if you upgraded Spidey’s web-slingers with virus-killing hand sanitiser instead? That’s the idea behind the wrist-worn PumPiX blaster.
Children across the U.S. and Europe are coming down with a rare but life-threatening condition that appears to be connected to covid-19. But as doctors continue to study the ailment, some experts are arguing that it should stop being compared to another rare disorder in children, called Kawasaki disease. Rather,…
New laws expected to come into effect from the start of 2021 will mean all Australians will have access to the NBN but it comes at a cost.
Last year Apple released the Powerbeats Pro – truly wireless earbuds that sounded great, were comfortable and perfect for working out. Although the case did leave me feeling like an idiot. It’s been over a year since the Powerbeats Pros hit the market, and yet this week a fresh leak…
Viruses are naturally occurring entities. Viruses have existed on Earth long before humans and vastly outnumber humans. There are more viruses on Earth than there are stars in the universe or cells in the human body.
Aston Martin, which wasn’t doing great before the coronavirus pandemic, really isn’t doing great amidst it. Meanwhile, its incredibly rich new dad is sure that this will definitely be its year.
For the past few years Lego has slowly been adding fairground sets to its range, so that the most Lego-hungry types can build a full-scale one for themselves. From the now-retired Carousel and Ferris Wheel, all the way to the super-expensive roller coaster from a couple of years ago, Lego…
Did you really think Christopher McQuarrie was going to make two more Mission: Impossible movies and not bring back Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, and Vanessa Kirby? Well, confirming everyone’s assumptions, on a new podcast the writer and director of the last two Mission movies said all three actors will in…
The nation of France has approved a new law that will force tech giants to delete terrorism and pedophilia-related content from sites in as little as an hour or be exposed to fines that could total up to four per cent of global revenue, Reuters reported on Wednesday.

Despite that fact, many states are deciding to “reopen” their economies this month. But sadly, some U.S….
The notification popped up without warning just as I was syncing the Whoop tracker I was testing: The tracker had a new metric, respiratory rate. Truthfully, I almost ignored it. But the notification used the phrase covid-19, and my eyes widened.
Only days ahead of the first NASCAR event since March 8, Darlington SC police have arrested a man for leaving threatening messages describing an explosive device and the damage he could do to the historic southern racing facility.
Though it’s typically in bad taste to talk about one’s dreams (as they tend to be incomprehensible to other people), the latest casting news surrounding Audible’s adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman comic is worth poring over because from the sounds of things, the audio drama’s going to be something worth…
Every day brings fresh and ever more alarming news about the state of the global environment. To speak of mere “climate change” is inadequate now, for we are in a “climate emergency”. It seems as though we are tripping over more tipping points than we knew existed.
God, I love hot dogs. My parents used to reward me with the cheap and oh-so-delicious hot dogs from Costco for making it through a Sunday afternoon shopping session, so that’s probably why I love them so much. The reward centre of my brain lights up every time I see…
A new study has found that nuclear radiation during Cold War-era weapons testing could have induced significant short-term changes in the amount of rainfall far across the globe..
