By Devin Coldewey Elon Musk has a plan to solve the traffic crisis in our cities. A vague, secret plan. He may not actually have a plan. But he did say something out loud in public about it, and he doesn’t usually do that unless he has at least kind of a plan. Read More…

By Joe Osborne When the mobile PC gaming scene is already loaded with liquid-cooled this and desktop-grade that, it’s tough to differentiate. So, Acer didn’t bother trying, but rather soup up its already winning gaming laptop design in the Predator 17X. This is Acer’s first gaming laptop to house desktop-level components, namely Intel’s desktop-level, Core…

By Devin Coldewey Quick: you can send 20 gigabytes of data to the moon. What’s it going to be? Time’s up! Wikipedia? What a coincidence — that’s what the Part-Time Scientists, a team working on a homegrown lunar rover for Google’s Lunar XPRIZE, decided too! And they’re really planning to do bring Wikipedia to the…

By Jon Porter What we want from Nintendo and Sony E3 2015 was easily the most most ground-breaking E3s we’ve seen in recent memory.

By Desire Athow The first 10TB hard disk drives were launched nearly a year ago now but their prices are still far too high to even remotely consider using them in a non-enterprise setup. At around £510 (about $720, or AU$940) the per TB price of the Seagate ST10000NM0016 is about 13 times that of…

By Sarah Buhr GE’s gadget invention partner FirstBuild is launching a cold brew coffee maker for the home called Pique. Coffee has turned from daily routine into somewhat of an art form in the last few years with drip makers, French press, single-serve cups, pour-over and an endless supply of the latest hi-tech machines that…

By Hugh Langley Three days. That’s how long Acer claims its new Liquid Zest Plus smartphone can last you, although realistically, you’re probably looking at closer to two with normal usage. Nonetheless, by 2016’s standards, it’s not something to turn your nose up at. To make the magic happen, Acer has placed inside a 5,000mAh…
