When another agency started selling Machine Relations, the category I named, I didn’t fight it. Here’s why owning the definition beats renting a spot that resets every day.

The Emmys have a new home – and it looks like Amazon paid plenty for the rights. The awards show and Amazon announced a six-year deal that will move the Emmys from its traditional broadcast television home to Prime Video.

Starting on October 9th, anyone using Google Gemini on a free plan will be limited to the Flash Lite model.

After suffering years of frustration with Apple’s parental control features, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the revamped Screen Time that launched last month with iOS 27. Unfortunately, I can’t use it. Technically, this is because my 18-year-old son hasn’t got round to updating his MacBook. But mostly, it’s because Apple’s rollout of the new feature has […]

An unsettling Alexa Plus bug has seen some Amazon Echo smart home speakers reduced to saying – and sometimes singing – nothing but “lalala” on repeat for minutes at a time, often in the middle of conversations with users. When quizzed about the behavior, Alexa is apparently entirely unaware of what it’s been doing. The […]

Confession: When BougeRV told me about its remote-controlled wagon with animated lighting, I called it in for a laugh, expecting to eviscerate it in a review. It’s ridiculous, to be sure.
