Imagine you’re responsible for implementing an app that shows you swanky cafés in your city. Dave, your product designer, has created a beautiful wireframe, and he wants the prototype to be ready within three weeks. You know how Dave ticks, and you know how this type of request usually ends. With a tight timeline and a few sketchy instructions to go with, you’re definitely not going to impress him. But... Read more ›

It’s 2016. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are standing across from one another on stage as NBC’s Lester Holt prepares to kick off the first of four presidential debates. The event starts off per tradition, and the first few moments are filled with pleasantries and introductions. But then Trump answers the first official question. The crowd is stunned by what they hear. Trump’s dropped all pretense and said he’s going... Read more ›

Google Maps is best known for finding places, but the service is also proving adept at locating criminals. Gioacchino Gammino learned this the hard way. The mafioso had been on the run for 20 years when he got a surprise visit from the police. “How did you manage to find me? I haven’t even called my family for 10 years,” Gammino reportedly told the cops. According to an anti-mafia investigator,... Read more ›

As people look for greener ways to travel, the mobility industry is evolving — and one of the success stories in recent times is electric skateboarding. Or eskateboarding, as the kids say. Don’t know your truck from your deck? Well, this guide will get you started. In fact, much of the information comes from eskaters themselves, who kindly shared their knowledge with me. What is an electric skateboard and how... Read more ›

The UK car industry might have been hit hard during the pandemic, but fortunately, there’s a bright spark: new EV registrations nearly doubled in 2021, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). This is a rare bit of good news for the auto world. In its annual sales snapshot, SMMT reported that the ongoing pandemic — in combination with the semiconductor chip shortage — continued to have...

By: Colin Lecher and Leon Yin Even as rioters were storming the United States Capitol one year ago, the seeds of two different narratives of Jan. 6 were already forming on social media. In one, seen by Facebook users who voted for Joe Biden and covered by mainstream news outlets like The New York Times, a mob spurred by President Trump was incensed at what they falsely believed to be...

Every year, the CES show floor is filled with the most bizarre gadgets and concepts you can imagine. Sure, big corporations announce big TVs, flashy monitors, and fast CPUs — but for me, weird stuff is the best part of CES. Even though few people are attending the event in person, the joy of technology means we can still enjoy the strangest things on show. LG’s OLED fitness bike Can’t... Read more ›

In the wake of surging electric vehicle (EV) sales in China, it might seem that the Chinese market has already won the “EV race” – meaning the race to secure global dominance of this new technology. But this judgment seems premature. Most commentary focuses on Chinese strengths in EV technology and production, or the size of China’s EV market. But this misses crucial factors that will affect how, and even... Read more ›

Donald Trump‘s social network TRUTH will supposedly launch on February 21, according to a listing on the Apple App Store. People in the US can pre-order the app of this social network, which claims to fight the “the tyranny of Big Tech.” The former US President first announced this app and the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) that will run it, last October. But apart from this date on... Read more ›

Here’s some nerd trivia for you: what laptop has a haptic trackpad, a touch-sensitive strip above the keyboard, and no headphone jack? No, Apple isn’t bringing back the Touchbar. Instead, Dell seems to have taken a page out of Cupertino’s book and updated its flagship 13-inch laptop with design elements that look cool but offer questionable practicality. Perhaps most notably, the function row was removed in favor of a touch-sensitive... Read more ›

You either log off ashamed of your own face, or you stay on Zoom long enough to become a narcissist. Those are the options being presented by researchers, pundits, and a host of other people who started writing about COVID-19 and working from home a few years back under the pretense things would be back to normal by Christmas… of 2020. It’s 2022 now and we’re hitting a fever pitch... Read more ›

I’ve been lucky enough to take regular vacations throughout my five-year freelance career. From family trips to long weekends, time off to travel and visit the people I love has always been a priority. Of course, actually unplugging from my work while I’m on vacation is another story. Case in point: I’m currently writing this while on a plane flying to visit my in-laws (vaccinated and masked, of course). We... Read more ›

You’ve aced the application, written a brilliant cover letter and even survived the screening call, now all that stands between you and your dream job is the all-important interview. However, with the rise of remote working and the lingering effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, your interview will likely be over Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Hangouts. While there are plenty of pros to doing an interview from the comfort of... Read more ›

At CES 2022, Cadillac revealed the third car in its Halo Concept Portfolio of vehicles, the InnerSpace. This series is meant to display “a range of personal autonomous options and advanced connected vehicle features” — but that’s a load of marketing waffle. I’m excited about the InnerSpace concept car because it looks like a fucking spaceship. Let’s feast our ground control eyes on these Major Tom images: (Credit: Cadillac) (Credit:... Read more ›

Close your eyes. Shut them nice and tight. Now, imagine, if you will, a tropical island populated only by crypto enthusiasts… Open your eyes. What have you done? Cryptoland is real — and it can hurt you. Also, it can scam you out of quite a bit of cash. This crypto island project first gained public attention with a video that can only be described as unhinged and a Molly... Read more ›

This year, we’ve had a shorter and more compact version of CES. There are fewer brands on the floor and even fewer visitors. Despite this, we’ve still seen auto manufacturers wowing us with high-tech concepts and creative artistry But it’s not all about the big dogs. CES 2022 has provided an opportunity for lesser-known brands, and startups to show off their technical and creative nous. Personally, my favorite parts of... Read more ›

Pirates around the world are in mourning after the death of one of their idols: Popcorn Time. The “Netflix for piracy,” which used the BitTorrent protocol to let users (illegally) stream films and TV shows, has passed on to the digital afterlife. At least, so it would seem to visitors of popcorn-time.tw. A message was this week posted to the website, emblazoned with the letters “R.I.P.” Alongside the fatal abbreviation... Read more ›

Last year, I wrote this piece about all the CES gadgets I NEEDED. Foolishly, I thought I’d visit the mega-show (or any other events) in 2022. But here I am, sitting in my home, and facing another lockdown. Now I’ll be spending more time indoors, there’s only one thing that’ll soothe me: gadgets. So here’s a list of all the cool shit at CES 2022 that really want (but don’t... Read more ›

Let me start off with something that might sound a bit cynical: Venture Capital firms are in the business of making money for their clients and they don’t give a hoot about your startup’s idea, narrative, or cause – those are just packaging. The only thing early-stage investors care about is whether you will grow quickly enough to be attractive for another round of funding and increase the value of... Read more ›
