Electric engine vehicles are on the rise, and figuring out how to arrange some powerful batteries to fit into the agile frame of a motorcycle has been an incredible challenge for the industry. Harley Davidson reckons that they’ve got the problem solved, as they’ll be rolling out their first electric motorcycle in 2019 with the Livewire.
While not as powerful as the mighty Xbox One X (or a decent mid-tier PC these days), the PlayStation Pro is still a lovely machine that’s capable of pumping out some pretty impressive graphics. The other thing it pumps out? Lots of hot air, and a heck of a lot of noise thanks to a thermal design that relies a little too much on very loud fans.
For some or other reason, foldable phones are probably the next big thing in mobile technology. Bored with just stuffing faster processors in their iterative devices, and tired with just adding more camera lenses to the back, manufacturers now want to create devices that function as both tablets and phones.
With the Singer 4432, I feel like I don’t just have a great machine to learn on, but a terrific device to help me master the ins and outs of sewing. I’m a bro and I sew, and I’ve never been happier with the potential I have to take my cosplay game to the next level.
The Recon 200 looks and sounds better than you’d expect for its price. The fact that you have to plug in and charge a wired headset may be off-putting to some, but it’s a worthwhile trade-off for the thumping audio. It’s a well-made, well-conceived headset that looks, feels, and sounds more expensive than it is. It’s available locally for around R1099.
Nintendo’s Switch is a lovely little device that’s perfect for full fat, on-the-go gaming. Surprisingly, it doesn’t really function well for anything beyond that, thanks to a dearth of entertainment and media apps. While the system does have its own Hulu app (along with Niconico in Japan), standard media apps like Netflix and YouTube are conspicuously absent. That’s apparently changing
The times, they are changing. Speaking to several Indian publications, WhatsApp Vice President Chris Daniels said that the company would soon inject ads into WhatsApp’s Instargram Stories-like statuses.
Apple's new Macbook Air is a long-awaited upgrade to one of their most popular laptops, but it's just taken far too long to arrive.
Apple has made some strides forward with the new design on the iPad Pro, but it's also leaving early adopters little room to upgrade without going all in.
I’m a big fan of Android devices, but there’s one niggling problem with the operating system that’ll likely never be resolved. It’s all bout fragmentation. Because of the sheer number of manufacturers making Android devices – each with their own implementation of the OS and different hardware configurations, it’s almost impossible to keep everything up to date.
For a long time, it’s been rumoured that Apple was starting up its own TV streaming service to take Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu and the other myriad services head-on. Reportedly, the service will offer both original and syndicated content, with apple likely to spend billions of dollars on its fresh, in-house media. It could be coming as early as next year.
