Boston Dynamics’ Atlas is now way more athletic than we’ll ever be
Don’t try to run, the robots will be able to find you. At least, that’s the case if someone decides to send Boston Dynamics’ Altas after you. We’ve seen Atlas running through fields, we’ve seen the guy landing backflips, and now Boston Dynamics’ bipedal robot can do parkour. Yeah, we’re doomed. Okay, maybe we’re not doomed. Altas’ creators are ...[Read More]
Apple is giving away their original content… for free?
Earlier this year Apple announced that they are producing their own range of original shows. And initially, it sounded like a strange thing — for Apple to go up against the likes of Netflix and Amazon, but now it looks like they just want to spoil their users… or further ingrain their loyalty. Anyone with an Apple device, be it iPhones, iPads, or Apple TVs (but not Macs, for reasons un...[Read More]
This is why you don’t fly drones near an airport
UPDATE: DJI has contacted us regarding a letter it has sent to the University of Dayton’s Research Institute, demanding that their video of a DJI drone and plane collision (seen below) be taken down. DJI’s statement reads, in part, that “UDRI staged its video to create a scenario inconceivable in real life, at a higher speed than the combined maximum speed of the drone and airpla...[Read More]
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse gets even more Spider-Folks
It was back in June that we saw the first trailer for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which showed off a world in which there was more than one Spider-Person running about. The second trailer for the upcoming Sony film has dropped and there will be even more Spider-Beings running around than we expected. Several of the heroes from various Spider-Man universes are present in Sony’s animate...[Read More]
Move over autonomous cars — BMW’s made a self-driving motorcycle
We’ve seen a fair number of self-driving cars in our time but a self-driving motorcycle? That’s a new one, but it’s one that BMW has gone and created. BMW Motorrad has been working on an autonomous motorcycle for the past two years, a secretive project that has borne enough fruit for them to finally be able to show it off. The result? A motorbike that can start itself up, take of...[Read More]
Go eyes-on with the Call of Duty: Black Ops IV Blackout trailer ahead of next week’s beta
It’s getting to be about that time again, where we throw everything out of the windows in favour of levelling up with the rest of the Call of Duty fans. Black Ops IV is set to deliver on its multiplayer, as usual, but it is the new Blackout battle royale mode that really has our attention this year. There’s a beta test of the all-new mode kicking off, hard, next week with PlayStation g...[Read More]
Make the time to watch this 48 minute Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay video
Developer and publisher CD Projekt RED set their bar high with The Witcher III: The Wild Hunt before calling the series a day and moving on to their next big project — Cyberpunk 2077, an action-RPG based on the pen-and-paper RPG of the same name. We’ve been excited about the game since their initial announcement, when it was little more than a logo and a bit of concept art. But now we&...[Read More]
Netflix gives its profile icons a fresh look
Streaming service Netflix launched five years ago with a very specific set of profile icons, and have decided to update them. At long last. The new options include characters from their own shows, because who doesn’t want the best single mom in TV, Steve from Stranger Things, as their calling card? Netflix hasn’t entirely abandoned its old icons. You can still be a masked superhero lady or a frown...[Read More]
Player-made Fallout 4 mod, Fallout Miami, impresses with its official trailer
Unfortunately we’ve gone and spoiled things with the headline but we’re willing to bet that if you weren’t aware that Fallout Miami was a player-made mod, you’d assume that Bethesda had gone and sneaked in a new Fallout release while you were distracted by Fallout 76. Go ahead. Go ahead and watch the official Fallout Miami trailer and then tell us that it doesn’t feel...[Read More]
Watch a man with jet engines on his feet fly at 166km/h
We’ve been keeping an eye on the antics of one Frank Zapata for some time now, ever since 2014 when he came out with the aquatic HoverBoard. Then there was the Flyboard Air, which is basically a portable jet engine that set a world distance record in 2016. Over water, we have to stress. Well, good old Franky is back with the Flyboard Air and this time he’s left the safety of water, opt...[Read More]
