‘The Oprah Show’ was secretly a great podcast all along

[ad_1] The Oprah Winfrey Show: The Podcast is what they’re calling the project and it’s available for free on exclusively on Apple Podcasts. Oprah hosted 4,561 episodes in total and they’ll almost all eventually be given the podcast treatment. The first ten episodes released represent a broad cross section of topics ranging from healing childhood […]

Oppo’s Find X2 Pro is a huge, high-spec phone to rival the Galaxy S20 Ultra

[ad_1] The first thing you’ll notice about the Find X2 Pro is that it has a somewhat plain appearance compared to the legendary Find X. There are no hidden pop-up cameras; instead you’ll find three of them lined up on the back. There’s also a punch-hole camera at the top left corner of the curved […]

Polly Pocket meets Tamagotchi in this portable LCD home

[ad_1] The 1.3-inch screen is a window into the life of your Pixel Star, who will play, eat and sleep in her tiny designer home. You can interact with her using the four buttons below the screen, including all sorts of mini games. And if you’re starting to think this sounds a lot like Tamagotchi, […]

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip hands-on: Razr who?

[ad_1] That brings me no particular pleasure to write, by the way — Motorola has a long track record of great phones, and the Razr is a pretty astonishing first attempt at a foldable. Still, Samsung’s experience releasing the Galaxy Fold means the Galaxy Z Flip benefits from extra polish and forethought. Oh, and much […]

Motorola’s new Moto G range includes a $300 Galaxy Note alternative

[ad_1] As you probably guessed, the stylus does just fine when you want to scribble or doodle something quick on this 6.4-inch screen. When you pull the pen out of its hidey-hole, a small menu pops up that offers access to an instant note-taking app, and Motorola highlighted a few additional uses for the pen, […]

Mini’s 2020 Cooper SE zips around town powered by electrons

Aside from its body sitting 18mm higher to accommodate the battery pack, the SE is nearly identical to its internal combustion bretheren. That battery offers 34.2 kWh capacity which, when compared to the Tesla S […]

This is the end of ‘Kentucky Route Zero’

[ad_1] I interviewed Jake Elliott at GDC 2013, in between the debut of acts one and two, and I asked him about the game’s release schedule, its themes and its ending. Seven years later and on the eve of the final episode’s launch, I read bits of this interview back to the Cardboard Computer team. […]

Honda E first drive: Futuristic and incredibly fun to drive

[ad_1] Features The E is a key car for Honda because it’s one of the first vehicles of its new “electric vision,” along with the next-generation hybrid-only Jazz (aka the Fit in the US). Honda wasn’t talking much about electric cars a few years ago, but now it plans to electrify two-thirds of its vehicles […]

PlayStation’s new Back Button accessory is a wasted opportunity

[ad_1] The accessory is a $30 addition to your existing controller, which circles impulse-buy territory. But what does this peripheral’s peripheral do? It plugs into the DualShock 4 through the 3.5mm headphone port — there’s a headphone port on the back button attachment, so it’ll still work with headsets and PSVR — and works straight […]
