Marshall's Kilburn II is a ruggedly handsome bluetooth speaker

Oct 06, 9:57PM

Marshall hasn't been been shy about capitalizing on its legacy. The legendary English amplifier company has plastered its name on cans of beer and a line of refrigerators. It's not the most crass branding we've seen, but it’s pretty damn silly. At first glance, the same can be said for its line of bluetooth speakers […]

Banksy piece immediately shreds itself after being sold for $1.1M

Oct 06, 5:48PM

In what might be the most ridiculous stunt ever pulled in the art world, a Banksy piece has, in a sense, self-destructed. Right in front of an audience of would-be buyers.

Amazon Echo Dot 3 review

Oct 05, 10:10PM

Amazon has sold a lot of Echo Dots. Like a crazy, silly, unfathomable number of the things. Over the past two generations, it has arguably become the single-largest driver of the smart speaker craze. There's nothing exceptional about the product, of course. It's a simply designed hockey puck of a product, designed to mostly stay […]

Oct 05, 7:39PM

For a lot of consumers, Pokémon GO wasn’t their first exposure to augmented reality — it was the dog-selfie lens inside Snapchat.

D-Wave offers the first public access to a quantum computer

Oct 05, 7:14PM

Outside the crop of construction cranes that now dot Vancouver’s bright, downtown greenways, in a suburban business park that reminds you more of dentists and tax preparers, is a small office building belonging to D-Wave. This office — squat, angular and sun-dappled one recent cool Autumn morning — is unique in that it contains an […]
