It took some doing, but it’s finally here. Amazon, the pioneers behind the e-reading revolution, released the Kindle Scribe, and not so long ago, announced a successor to the massive (and gorgeous) e-reader we cherish so dearly. That inevitably means the Scribe is due a much-needed price cut in the coming months, and we for one can’t wait. There’s no harm in jumping the gun, either. If you can stomach the R10,500 starting price, you won’t hear us stopping you. The Scribe’s excellent battery life, humongous 10.2in e-ink display and slim form factor make this the Kindle to get, and more…

Catch! SpaceX catches Starship booster on its fifth attempt It didn’t take long for Elon Musk’s SpaceX to get Starship working the way it was hoping to. After the FAA finally gave the company clearance to try and launch its building-sized rocket into space again, the fifth attempt at Starship went without a hitch. That means, of course, that Starship itself launched, travelled for a while, and then splashed down in the Indian Ocean. That was the point, after all, and the scientists are after data more than anything else. But something else also went horribly right. Starship’s Super Heavy…

Oh look, everyone’s top retro handheld. As long as they like green. And motion blur. It’s easy to scoff at the Game Boy’s dot-matrix display, with its four shades of murk and visible ghosting. And yes, next to the Sega Game Gear and Atari Lynx, the lack of colour – and clarity – was stark. But while falling short in terms of visual clout, the Game Boy excelled where it mattered and quickly became a handheld for the masses. It didn’t munch through batteries; it was affordable and light; and most importantly, it had those stellar titles that you really…

Remember, remember, the first of November Surprise! Apple is coming out of the woodwork for yet another product launch, despite a busy iPhone-filled September. That’s not unusual, not by a long stretch. If you’re familiar with the Big Fruit’s strategy, a slew of new Mac-related products are coming our way soon; including two new MacBook Pros, a revamped Mac Mini, an M4-toting iMac, and iPad Mini. The event – expected to debut at the end of October according to Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter – mimics that of Apple’s ‘Scary Fast’ event in 2023, except that the M4 SoC is…

Amazon rekindles your love of reading with a new e-reader A new Kindle e-reader is waiting in the wings, and it’s about time, too. Amazon rode the coattails of its latest entry-level Kindle for the past two years, but it looks like the game is finally up. Dwindling stocks of the e-reader around the world have forced the retail giant to finally cook up a new Kindle, possibly out tomorrow. That’s according to a Spanish retailer (first spotted by Good e-Reader) which accidentally posted a listing last week featuring the new e-reader, complete with a half-decent list of specs we have…

Counting laps is an integral part of a pool swimmer’s training routine, dominating their thoughts on every stroke, trying to remember how many laps they’ve completed. With this in mind, we dived into a pool wearing the Form Smart Swim 2 goggles to see if they were any good. For the most part, yes. The Form Smart Swim 2 offers an innovative approach to enhance the swim training experience. Smart goggles activate The initial unboxing of the Form Smart Swim 2 goggles was surprisingly pleasant. The goggles ship inside a functional black case with drainage holes on either side. However,…

It’s about time You don’t get to witness history being written very often. But that is about to change because NASA is officially developing a ‘lunar time standard’ designed for the Moon’s rotation, a task delegated to it by the US government as America continues to set its sights on touching down on the big rock (sometime in 2025) and colonising it for generations to come. Following the White House’s directive sent out in April, NASA has confirmed it will “coordinate with U.S. government stakeholders, partners, and international standards organizations to establish a Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC),” a whole five…
