Whether it qualifies as a “superbloom” is in the eye of the beholder, but there is no doubt that California’s Carrizo Plain and the neighboring mountain ranges were awash with color as wildflowers put on their annual show in spring 2026. Landsat satellites began to show the early signs of color in February. By early March, flowers had turned areas around Soda Lake a bright shade of yellow, and by mid-month, they had spread even farther. Yellow wildflower blooms are visible amid the dendritic network of streams flanking the alkaline lake, which dries out completely during drought years. Colors were…

Coming off a strong 2025, in which we awarded LG’s three OLED TVs — the B5, C5 and G5 — positive reviews, and claiming the mid-range C5 to be the best TV for most people, the company has finally revealed Australian pricing and availability for its 2026 lineup of TVs.As was the case last year, we here in Australia were late to the party getting eyes on the new range, but thankfully I have now been able to get up close and personal with the QNED, OLED TV and even the company’s sole Micro RGB model.A more streamlined TV seriesThe…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech In June 2019, a Japanese spacecraft called Hayabusa2 touched down on Ryugu, a 3,000-foot asteroid some 185 million miles from Earth. It then proceeded to fire a metal bullet at the surface, dislodging enough material to scoop up with a special “sampling horn” to take back home to our planet. Scientists have been poring over the extremely rare samples ever since to study the near-Earth asteroid with the hope of learning about how the building blocks of planets evolved over time — and…

Every year, I visit family for a month over the holidays, knowing full well that I am entering an entertainment black hole. Being based overseas, I found that single-household-per-streaming-account rules throttle any attempts to circumvent them, even with a quality VPN, so I resigned myself to using the free services available on my Amazon Fire TV Stick for the foreseeable future. I expected a downgrade, with endless ads, low-quality content, and a frustrating viewing experience, but what I found was surprisingly different. Free streaming felt less like scrolling fatigue and more like rediscovering TV as I remember it, where you…
Back in November 2025, Google introduced the ability to share files with Apple devices via Quick Share on the Pixel 10 series. Four months later, the newly announced Galaxy S26 lineup now supports the feature as well. At the time, Google had confirmed that AirDrop and Quick Share interoperability would roll out to older Pixel devices and other Android phones. The feature arrived on the Pixel 9 series last month, and is now expanding to the Galaxy S26 lineup. In a press release, Samsung confirmed that AirDrop support via Quick Share is available on the Galaxy S26, Galaxy…
Tesla has the world’s most advanced AI (not OpenAI). Autopilot runs superhuman edge AI on HW4 (only 20–50W — same as human brain) while Nvidia B300/Rubin use 1,500–2,000W+.AI5 will jump to 800W for more tasks (distributed inference), but efficiency still unmatched.FSD 14.3 (10x parameters, reasoning model) incoming — “the last big piece” for robotaxis/Optimus. xAI already has the lowest cost per token in the industry (fastest/cheapest data centers, highest GPU utilization). Uses Grok + Claude cross-check for balance. Grok 4.2 first with built-in multi-agent truth validation.Anthropic (Claude) 4x more capital efficient than OpenAI. xAI/OpenAI race still fluid but OpenAI losing…
Ta-ra. Seeya later. Bon voyage. Auf wiedersehen. Although Philips probably didn’t use any of those words, it has said goodbye to Google TV with the 2026 TV models, and brought Titan OS into the fold as the main UX partner. This could be a very good arrangement for Philips. The battle for customers’ attention in the TV space will, in my view, come down to the user interface. You can throw as many specs at the wall as you want, but at the end of the day, people like a TV that’s easy to use, and while Google TV is…
