SpaceX has had a busy and memorable year, conducting more Falcon 9 missions than ever and making tangible progress with the development of its next-generations Starship vehicle, the most powerful rocket ever to fly. The most notable of the Starship test missions came on October 13 when SpaceX’s launch tower “caught” the returning Super Heavy booster at the very first attempt. The spectacular feat involved the 70-meter-tall booster returning with pinpoint accuracy two giant mechanical arms on the launch tower, which secured the booster above the ground at SpaceX’s Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas.

In a recent interview on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Gardner explained that executive producer Lorne Michaels had a pretty important condition before he would let Kelce host. “The biggest swing I ever did in that department, and it did work, but it took a couple [of] years, was Travis Kelce,” Gardner explained. “I don’t want to take full credit from the show and the talent department, but I’m just, obviously, a big Chiefs fan,…

The AI-fication of the iPhone was heavily anticipated, apparently more so by analysts and investors than the average user. Apple Intelligence put AI in all key places that define an iPhone, including Mail, Photos, Safari, notifications, Notes — you name it. But those changes haven’t been welcomed by all. The Photos redesign continues to test the patience of iPhone users. But the Mail app is not too far off in the rage race. On Reddit and other user forums, many have been venting their frustration against the new categorization system, which sorts emails across different classes. Thanks in no part…
Table of Contents Table of Contents Mac mini (M4) AirPods 4 with ANC iPhone 16 iPad mini (7th-generation) MacBook Pro (M4) iPad Pro (M4) Apple took some big swings this year with the Vision Pro and Apple Intelligence. It feels like early days for both of those, though I can’t say either have felt like a genuine success. And yet, there were lots of Apple products peppered throughout the year that live up to the company’s high reputation of quality. As you’ll notice, these definitely fall in line with the more established products in Apple’s ecosystem. But that doesn’t take…
Earlier this year, Jason Reitman’s film Saturday Night chronicled the story of what happened in the last hour and a half before the first episode of Saturday Night Live aired on NBC nearly five decades ago.

The latest from the brand is a triple-folding Huawei Mate XT covered in 24-carat gold. Caviar calls it Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design Gold Dragon, a fittingly lavish…
Just over three years ago, Disney+ announced Spider-Man: Freshman Year, the first Spider-Man animated series directly produced by Marvel Studios. The show was subsequently renamed Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and it veered away from the MCU connections it was supposedly going to have. Instead, this series will take place in an alternate timeline where Tony Stark/Iron Man was never Peter Parker’s mentor. As seen in the first trailer below, it’s Norman Osborn — the future Green Goblin — who will guide Peter’s destiny in this incarnation. Della Duck being my favourite character for nearly 15 minutes In a slight departure…
