Are you ready to build and shoot and build some more? From today you will be able to sign up to be in line for an invitation to the iOS Fortnite Battle Royale beta. Why would you want this invitation? Because Fortnite is changing the (literal) game of multiplayer dynamics. We have seen a massive surge in free-to-play online games like Paladins and Fortnite that are changing ideas around paying for quality gaming. Or ‘not paying’, if we’re being totally accurate. The focus specifically is on quality because these aren’t the free games like those found on demo discs back in…

Now that the grand reveal has happened, everyone wants to get their hands on the S9 and S9+ (well, a lot of people). We’ve done the necessary digging to find all of the once-off prices as well as contract specials on offer from local service providers.

For the Galaxy S9+, you will pay from R17,999 at Dion Wired to R20,389 at MTN. If you are looking for…

We had the privilege of taking Fujifilm’s new flagship mirrorless camera, the X-H1, out for a spin at a motocross track last week. It was dusty, it was dirty, but it was completely in focus. On 15 February, Fujifilm launched the X-H1, the highest performing camera in their X Series. It combines a robust, durable body with great image quality and easy operation (especially for a novice photographer), the Fujifilm X-H1 is the first camera in the X-series to include 5-axis in-body image stabilisation (IBIS), which works well for both photography and videography. Built for big hands The X-H1, is…

The rumours are in, and they say that Apple is working on a giant iPhone X. Hopefully one fit for human use, and not just those with orcishly large hands… As we already know (or at least think we know), Apple is expanding the iPhone X range and will include three new handsets in the line. We have even more info on this expansion, as reported by Bloomberg earlier this week. According to the report, we are getting an iPhone with a screen of close to 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) in size, larger even than the 6.2-inch (15.75 cm) Samsung Galaxy…

With the release of the controversial “jackless” iPhone range in 2016, we also got the AirPods — wireless earphones that look like Apple simply cut the wires of a pair or EarPods. Or, you know, like droplet earrings in Apple’s design style, depending who you ask. Despite the initial derision from consumers, Apple’s AirPods have gone on to sell incredibly well. Now it looks like an update is on the horizon… There have been reports that these successful little accessories are getting an upgrade. According to sources close to the project who spoke to Bloomberg, Apple is going to release…

If you have been following the journey of Elon Musk’s spaced-out Tesla Roadster, now is the time to check it out because within a few months it will be too far from Earth to track with telescopes. This is according to a website dedicated to showing the position of the Roadster, called ‘Where is Roadster’. The website was created by Ben Pearson, founder of Old Ham Media, who decided to create the website following the massive interest in the SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch in February. He currently uses tracking data from JPL Horizons (NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory) and, being a…

After the hype around PUBG, many developers have followed the same trend of battle royale game modes going into 2018. Paladins, the free-to-play console game has released its own massive-online last-man-standing Paladins: Battlegrounds game mode with the latest update to the title. The OB66 update  is available today. At launch it’s in “alpha stage”, which really just means the company is looking to shield itself from potential bad reviews. “Though there are still a number of bugs we plan to address, plus feature enhancements and optimisations we intend to make, we feel it is a good time to open the…

Apparently, Spotify has enough time on its hands to start working on its own smart speaker, and maybe its own AI voice assistant, but it doesn’t have the time to launch in South Africa (yes, we are still waiting). But you know… priorities! According to a job posting that has recently surfaced on the Spotify website, they are looking for a hardware operations manager (key word here being “hardware”), along with three other hardware-related positions at their head office in Stockholm, Sweden. Given Spotify is an exclusively software-based business that seems a little strange, right? The rumour mill suggests this means…

The Mavic Air might have usurped it, but the DJI Spark drone is still worth a look. We take it for a spin and try to decide whether or not it’s the drone we’ve been dreaming of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RokpJaoptFY Review unit supplied by Orms Direct​. Shot using Fujifilm X-T2 and X-T20 cameras c/o Fujifilm​.
