A picturesque beach in the Spanish province of Cádiz has been sprayed with diluted bleach, in a misguided and environmentally unfriendly attempt to protect children from the novel coronavirus.
The first generation of gaming laptops were, in a word, excessive. While they packed the computing power necessary to game on the go, they were often big, bulky, noisy and sported obnoxious, gaudy design. In other words, they’d look pretty out of place in a boardroom meeting.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse not only brought us the wonderful Miles Morales, it introduced the world to Spider-Gwen. The ballet slipper-donning, arse-kicking fighter is the latest hero to be added to Hot Toys’ growing Spider-Verse collection—and she even comes with a hammy friend.
We’re still a week away from the official launch of LG’s new sleek-sounding phone — the LG Velvet. But thanks to some leaks and LG itself, we already know pretty much everything about. Here’s a sneak peak.
We’re living in “a time” right now, one that some movies like Contagion kind of predicted. But there are plenty of films and shows that portray a far different version of 2020—where aliens invaded Earth, robots have taken over boxing…or maybe dragons have even taken root.
Coronavirus has upended lives in countless ways, and of those, my inability to unlock my iPhone with Face ID while wearing a mask in public spaces is not that consequential.
Fort McMurray is under evacuation for the second time in four years. The Albertan town was besieged by a huge wildfire in 2016, but now it faces flooding due to an army of ice (feel free to leave your Game of Thrones references in the comments).
Toyota was the first to market with a mass-produced hybrid model in the form of the original Prius way back in 1997. Right now, across all platforms and markets, Toyota and Lexus reportedly offer 44 different hybrid models. As a result of public acceptance of electrified technology, Toyota says it…
Death might have taken weeks; it might have been days. But when it struck, it struck ruthlessly.
All might feel awful in the world—and for the most part, it is—but there are still glimmers of hope. Today, that hope comes in the form of cheap-arse solar energy.
A wave of results from studies involving remdesivir, an experimental antiviral being used to treat covid-19, has arrived today.

Compared to pre-industrial levels, the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere will have doubled in about 20 to 30 years, depending on how much CO₂ we emit over the coming years. More CO₂ generally leads to higher rates of photosynthesis and less water consumption in plants.
When separates us from the animals? Is it the burden of consciousness, the terror of knowing that one day we will die, along with everyone we’ve ever loved? Or is it our big weird asses?

Horror’s become more inclusive in recent years, a welcome shift for a genre that has historically favoured white-centric stories. Blood Quantum, which just hit Shudder, is a pretty typical zombie movie except for one big difference: it’s set on a First Nations reserve and is told from the POV of…
Doctors in Europe are warning that they’ve started to see an alarming rise of rare, life-threatening complications among children confirmed or suspected to have covid-19. However, it’s not certain how common these complications are or whether they’re necessarily connected to the novel coronavirus.

By recreating prehistoric one-on-one sword fighting and analysing the ensuing damage inflicted onto replica weapons, experimental archaeologists are shedding new light onto ancient combat techniques and the advanced skills required to be a Bronze Age warrior.
Environmentalists and ranchers are challenging President Donald Trump’s repeal of federal water protections.

Amid more reports of pets and other animals testing positive for the new coronavirus, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention updated its guidelines on social distancing this month to include our furry companions.

While the BBC is already gearing up to bring Terry Pratchett’s The Watch to the small screen in an interesting looking live-action series, a new deal points to a future in which we’re going to be seeing a whole lot more of Discworld.
Last fall, the birdwatching community was shocked by the appearance of a small yellow bird. Birder Matthew Grube first spotted it off of a trail near Riverside, California, noting that it looked like a hybrid of two birds from different taxonomic families.

2008 was a different time for Elon Musk. He hadn’t met Grimes yet, didn’t go on weird Twitter rants and hadn’t publicly called anyone a ‘Pedo Guy. It was also the year that he unleashed his first Tesla vehicle on the world – the Roadster. Jay Leno has reminded us…
Two years after the Mavic Air wowed us with a drone so small it could be shoved in a (very large) pocket DJI is back with the Mavic Air 2, and this time the size is similar, the weight is heavier, but the drone sounds a whole lot smarter.
