I’ve long griped that gamers have held the monopoly on mechanical keyboards and nifty mice. Would it kill companies to make sleek, non-mushy keyboards and mice for non-gamers that don’t look like they came straight out of the 1980s? Well, Razer seems to have heard my rants because it’s teamed…
For intrepid fans, Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House was like a horror-fuelled Highlights Magazine. Dozens of hidden ghosts lurked in the background without a purpose, other than contributing to the terrifying mise en scène. Sophomore season The Haunting of Bly Manor will also include hidden ghosts — and they’ll be…
As of today, Windows 95 — the first of the “modern” Microsoft OSes — is a quarter-century old. Happy birthday old friend.
Back in 2018, Tite Kubo and Weekly Shonen Jump revealed a strange new chapter in the universe of the mangaka’s legendary Bleach universe: the story of two Witches safeguarding a secret alternate London from the threat of monstrous dragons. Now, it’s becoming an animated movie too — one you’ll see…
U.S. President Donald Trump is exploring ways to release an experimental coronavirus vaccine before the 2020 presidential election in November, even if the vaccine doesn’t meet normal U.S. safety standards established by the FDA, according to a new report from the Financial Times. And while the news is not exactly…
When we talk about “bees”, we’re usually referring to the European honey bee (its scientific name is Apis Mellifera). Humans have been drooling over its honey and taking advantage of its pollination powers for thousands of years. So how do these insects make honey, you ask? You’ll find the task…
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Perhaps not, some say. And if someone is there to hear it? If you think that means it obviously did make a sound, you might need to revise that opinion….
As the pandemic progresses, we’re growing increasingly aware COVID-19 affects multiple parts of the body beyond the lungs. That includes the skin. We’ve seen reports of skin symptoms ranging from “COVID toes” to hair loss, and different types of rashes. Some skin symptoms appear soon after infection, while others arise…
The Food and Drug and Administration has issued an emergency use authorization for convalescent blood plasma as an experimental treatment for covid-19 patients. And President Donald Trump, per his usual M.O., found a way to put himself at the centre of the announcement — no doubt in a bid to…
Rosemary Smith made headlines for the first time in decades when, in 2017, she became the oldest person to drive a Formula One car at 79 years of age. It was a brief moment of vindication for the former rally driver who spent years battling stereotypes and low expectations: here,…
Content and moderation decisions by tech companies are increasingly the focus of unending kicking and screaming — to the point where it’s now essentially a campaign plank for at least one of the U.S.’s major political parties. The likes of Facebook, Twitter, and Google are also trying to convince the…
Truly, it’s the most Keanu response to something that is, indeed, very cool.
M. Night Shyamalan’s next mysterious movie taps a suitably mysterious cast. Bryce Dallas Howard discusses filming Jurassic World: Dominion during covid-19. Go behind the scenes of making Bill & Ted Face the Music. Plus, Henry Cavill gets dirty for The Witcher season 2, and what’s to come on Lovecraft Country….

Matt Reeves Says The Batman Will Find the Caped Crusader at a Pivotal Moment in His Heroic Evolution
This isn’t an origin story. If anything, it’s Batman: Year Two. (No, not the one where he almost shoots Joe Chill.)
It’s raining Batman these days but Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, Colin Farrell, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis, Paul Dano, and Jayme Lawson star in Matt Reeves’ The Batman. And DC Fandome gave us our first legitimate look at the upcoming superhero film in the form of a…
Motorola hasn’t officially announced the successor to its rebooted Razr, but thanks to a few new leaks, we purportedly have our first 360-degree look at its next attempt at a foldable phone.
We’ve had glimpses. We’ve had black suits. We’ve had to wait for it, after years of anger and hearsay, for it to actually be given life. Now, we can behold it in action: because finally, our first proper look at the fabled Snyder Cut of Justice League is here.
Don’t get attached: They might not be around for that long.
It’s been teased for over a year now, but today we finally got confirmation that a new chapter in the Batman: Arkham video game saga is on its way — but it’s a whole new threat the Dark Knight is facing, which means it’s time to bring in backup.
Hot damn, Apple’s really gunning for the title of “most despised tech company,” huh?
Apple is claiming that Epic Games asked for a “special deal” to bypass its in-app purchase policies in a filing it released today. According to CNBC, former Apple Senior Vice President Phil Schiller, now a Fellow with the company, said Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney asked “for a ‘side letter’…
I love video games. The popular battle royale game Fortnite, however, is not one of them. That’s probably a good thing for the planet because new data shows that the game is really carbon-intensive. Sorry to my 11-year-old nephew and millions of others, though, who play.
In the past week, millions of Californians have lost power in rolling blackouts in response to a punishing heat wave. As much as conservatives love to yell about how this shows renewable energy isn’t reliable, that’s simply not true.
After finally releasing the Pixel 4a earlier this month, Google has shifted focus to the Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5G, and now, new leaks for the latter have arrived. The new images show some notable, but not game-changing, upgrades for Google’s upcoming mainstream device.
A team led by Blue Origin has delivered a full-scale mockup of the lunar lander that could carry NASA astronauts to the Moon in 2024.
Earlier this autumn, Facebook started pushing out an updated site design to users across the globe, but up until now Facebook has also included an option that let you revert back to its previous UI. Yet in September, that option is going away, which means you’ll be stuck with Facebook…
An extensive analysis of dozens of Tasmanian tiger specimens suggests the extinct marsupial was far smaller, and far less formidable as a hunter, than conventionally assumed.
Warn is hardly the only company making the kind of winches you often see mounted on truck bumpers, but it’s probably the best-known. The brand is also fairly famous for making manual locking hubs, which I’ll get into in a minute. Now it’s doing a few wheel designs and they…
There has been a clash of clans in mobile gaming, with angry birds Apple, Google and Epic Games in a saga over in-app payments. Video game developer Epic’s massively popular “battle royale” game Fortnite was removed from Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store last week. Android players can…
Like many kids, I grew up watching episodes of Speed Racer, marvelling at the Mach 5’s impressive technology and being horrified and baffled by the shocking similarities in behaviour between that kid and that monkey that always used to gorge on candy and stow away, dangerously, in the race car’s…
The New Samsung Galaxy Note 2o Ultra is now out in Australia. With a gigantic gorgeous display, slick finish and a host of beefy specs there’s a lot to get excited about. But is it actually worth the price? Note 20 Ultra Specs For those of you who are just…
Being secretive and shadowy are two major tenets of being a spy. It’s why Australia’s own spy agency, ASIO, lurks behind the scenes and rarely admits to how it works or what it’s up to. An ABC report has managed to get inside the building to reveal a room never…
