Canon just barged into the mid-range full-frame hybrid camera arena with a new entry. The 32.5MP EOS R6 III is a dramatic improvement over the EOS R6 II thanks to the higher resolution, faster shooting speeds and better video specs. However, it comes at a relatively high price and lacks a stacked or partially stacked sensor, unlike other cameras in this category. The new 32.5MP sensor provides a big boost in resolution compared to the R6 II's 24MP chip. At the same time, the R6 III offers ..

A24 has acquired the rights to the popular indie hit and Deadline reports that the company is working with Netflix to develop the concept into an unscripted competition reality TV series.

Mamdani's platform is focused on affordability, with fighting corporate corruption a key way he hopes to lower prices for New Yorkers. Mamdani's proposed ..

When Apple introduces its more capable version of Siri in 2026, it increasingly sounds like it'll have Google to thank. Bloomberg reports that Apple is finalizing plans to use a custom version of Gemini to power the new Siri and plans to pay Google handsomely for the privilege. The new Siri will still use some of Apple's homegrown models, but will also rely on a version of Gemini running on the company's Private Cloud Compute servers to "handle Siri's summarizer and planner functions," ..

Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley has unveiled his latest venture and yes, it's another location-based social app. But, rather than the check-ins Crowley first popularized more than 15 years ago, "BeeBot" has a very 2025 take on the concept. Instead, the app is an AI-powered "DJ" that can deliver contextual audio updates to your ears as you move through your day. Crowley describes BeeBot as an "app for AirPods," though it will work with any type of headphones, as well as smart glasses with ..

Apple just launched a redesign of the popular song-identifying app Shazam, which was spotted by 9to5Mac . This update takes full advantage of the company's recently-launched Liquid Glass visual language . The company promises a "sleek" new look, but that's not the only change.

Sony AI released a dataset that tests the fairness and bias of AI models. It's called the Fair Human-Centric Image Benchmark (FHIBE, pronounced like "Phoebe"). The company describes it as the "first publicly available, globally diverse, consent-based human image dataset for evaluating bias across a wide variety of computer vision tasks." In other words, it tests the degree to which today's AI models treat people fairly. Spoiler: Sony didn't find a single dataset from any company that fully met ..

Direct File, the free, government-provided alternative to services like TurboTax, won't be available for the 2026 tax season, Bloomberg Tax reports . That's based on a letter sent from the Internal Revenue Service to participating states that says that "no launch date has been set for the future." A Biden administration project, Direct File was designed to be an easy way for eligible taxpayers to file taxes online, without having to pay for a service like TurboTax or H&R; Block to do it on their ..

The outlook for future generations isn't looking so great. The UN released its annual Emissions Gap Report on Tuesday, and the news is mostly bad. The worlds projected climate path falls far short of the Paris Agreement targets . Although the 2025 projections are slightly better than last year's, some of that improvement is due to the report's methodological changes. The UN also notes that the upcoming US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement will basically cancel that out. The UN measures ..

Over the next week, the platform is rolling out some updates for its Family Center with the aim of helping parents gain more understanding of what their teens are doing on Discord, while giving them the ability to manage certain settings. Parents and guardians were already able to see an overview of some of their teens' Discord activity. Now, they'll be able to view all ..

Its called The Namco Legendary Pack and it will be available on November 13 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and Steam for $8. The DLC adds a new ..

The Motion Picture Association doesnt share Metas view that the content people under the age of 18 might encounter on an Instagram Teen Account is comparable to what you might find in a PG-13 movie.

To rewind, Meta revamped its teen-specific accounts which were first introduced last year last month, claiming that going forward the account content would be guided by ..

Teenage Engineering just revealed the EP-40 Riddim sampler . This reggae- inspired groovebox is another redesign of the pre-existing EP-133 KO II sampler .

When it was first announced , the PlayStation Portal was sort of a joke. The Nintendo Switch was a megahit, and many PlayStation fans had long hoped Sony would respond with a new handheld of its own. It did in the form of a $200 peripheral that can only stream games over the internet and required you to already own a PlayStation 5. Instead of a successor to the beloved yet famously neglected PlayStation Vita, we got the PlayStation version of the Wii U GamePad . My colleague Devindra Hardawar ..

Black Friday (which is now basically all of November) is one of the best times of the year to pick up things for yourself and for other people. But to say money is tight is an understatement this year. If Amazons Prime Big Deal Days was any indicator , folks are spending more on essentials than anything else during these big sales.

With the American market still struggling to get its head around the whole electric car thing, plenty of manufacturers are scaling back their EV ambitions to refocus on hybrid power. Whether that's right for the market and, indeed, the globe remains to be seen, but we can for sure expect to see a lot more cars with internal combustion over the next few years. Honda has made its plans clear on that front, which might be cause for concern among many for one simple reason: Outside of the NSX , the ..

Every two years, the Japan Mobility Show gives us a preview of the future of motoring as envisioned by the major Japanese manufacturers. Sadly, for Honda, the resounding message coming from this year's show was that the future is getting a little farther away. That's the case for American drivers, at least, thanks largely to the effects of the Trump administration according to Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe. In Tokyo this year, the company unveiled a trio of cool, next-gen electric vehicles at the ..

Putting AI in space may sound like a sci-fi nightmare , but Google is thinking about the idea with a research endeavor called Project Suncatcher . The idea is to put power-hungry data centers into orbit on solar-powered satellites, so they can be powered by unlimited, clean energy available 24 hours a day.
