• 2026 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Fastback review

    It looks like a Mustang, feels like a Mustang, and goes like a Mustang, but is the EcoBoost really a Mustang? After all, modern takes on Ford’s famous muscle car have become synonymous with eight-cylinder power, and that’s nowhere to be seen in this base model. Rather, the entry-level EcoBoost is powered by the same turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine found in the old Focus RS hot hatch. Not very Mustang-y, if you ask me. Australian buyers tend to agree. The EcoBoost accounts for just 10 per cent of Mustang sales locally – where the Blue Oval’s fabled pony car reclaimed…

  • Get the bundle for only $10 for one month

    You have the best chance to save on streaming services during the holiday shopping season, but throughout the year, the occasional deal pops up that’s worth considering. Case in point: this new Disney+ deal. New and eligible returning subscribers can sign up for the Disney+ Hulu bundle (with ads) for $10 for one month of access. That’s $3 off the usual price of the bundle for one month, and more than 58 percent off if you consider the cost of each service individually (Disney+ at $12 per month and, separately, Hulu also at $12 per month). We’d be remiss if…

  • XREAL files lawsuit against rival smart glass maker Viture

    San Francisco-founded Smart glasses maker Viture has been sued in a US court by rival XREAL over claims it infringed on its patents, XREAL announced in a press release. The complaint, lodged in a federal Texas court, accuses Viture of illegally incorporating XREAL’s patented tech into its products including the Luma Pro, Luma Ultra and Beast models. “The lawsuit is not merely about enforcing a single patent,” the company wrote. “It is about stopping a pattern of intellectual property infringement that undermines the integrity of innovation and endangers continued technological development in this industry.” XREAL has already won a preliminary…

  • Meta is closing down its VR meeting rooms as part of its wider cull

    Meta is killing the standalone Workrooms app on February 16, 2026. The company presented Workrooms as a virtual reality space where teams can meet and collaborate in an immersive environment when it launched the product. Now Meta says its Horizon platform has evolved enough to support “a wide range of productivity apps and tools,” so it “made the decision to discontinue Workrooms as a standalone app.” The company recently slashed its spending on the metaverse and started the process to lay off more than 1,000 employees from its Reality Labs division. Due to those layoffs and organizational changes, it closed…

  • Netflix will give WBD movies 45-day theater exclusivity if deal goes through

    The fate of Warner Bros. Discovery remains the biggest story in Hollywood, with Paramount Skydance refusing to back down from its rival bid to the proposed Netflix acquisition of the company. If the Netflix deal does go through, the company’s co-chief executive, Ted Sarandos, has attempted to ease concerns around what that could mean for theaters. In an interview with The New York Times, Sarandos responded to a question about his company’s commitment to the theatrical business by insisting that he has no interest in bringing a swift end to it. “We will run that business largely like it is…

  • Grab a four-pack of AirTags on sale for $65

    Most Apple products are pretty expensive, but some of the most affordable (and useful) ones are AirTags. The Bluetooth trackers are priced pretty reasonably even when not on sale, but they can be a steal if you can get them on a discount — like right now. A four pack of AirTags is on sale for $65 at Amazon, which is only a few dollars more than the record-low price we saw during Black Friday this year. Apple That’s a near-record low price on the Bluetooth trackers.  $65 at Amazon AirTags can be useful for people who travel frequently, helping…

  • Why Silicon Valley is really talking about fleeing California (it’s not the 5%)

    If you’ve been following the billionaire exodus from California with some confusion, here’s what’s actually driving the nervousness: it’s not the 5% rate. As highlighted Friday in the New York Post, the proposed wealth tax would hit founders on their voting shares rather than the actual equity they own. Take Larry Page, who about 3% of Google but controls roughly 30% of its voting power through dual-class stock. Under this proposal, he’d owe taxes on that 30%. For a company valued in the hundreds of billions, that’s a lot more than a rounding error. The Post reports that one SpaceX…
