Although we've seen concept imagery and teasers for Tesla's Model X 4×4 electric car, it was only officially unveiled and launched in the early hours of this morning at an event in the U.S. Tesla debuted the vehicle itself along with a laundry list of features, announcing that the first …

As much as Edward Snowden has been a popular public figure over the past couple of years after he revealed the depths of intelligence agency spying in America and around the world, he's had to live in relative hiding within Russia since. While he's made the odd video appearance at …

While games were once announced when they were nearing completion, perhaps with a bit of coverage in a popular gaming magazine, today they are often detailed years in advance, with teasers, community interaction, feedback from the fans and of course funding through crowd sourcing. That's not been the case with …

If you like games, then EGX, formerly the Eurogamer Expo, is a fun place to visit. It's got something for everyone, whether you're into shooters, RTS, puzzlers, card battlers or any other number of genres; you're catered for. However, as much as the big games are all exciting, with their …

Not every news story needs to be cutting edge news, but they do need to be interesting. Take the idea of making director and crew commentaries on films and TV shows that bit more exciting, by having them not only record their vocal thoughts on the content, but their visuals …

Tesla is set to launch its Model X 4×4 later today, webcasting the entire show for viewers around the world and releasing more information on the vehicle than ever before. Company founder Elon Musk made the announcement himself earlier today, linking through to a page for the vehicle that teases …

Mars has long been thought to have once been a lush, green world with ancient oceans, lakes and rivers flowing across its surface. However those days are long gone and though there is evidence of ice, until recently the idea of flowing water on Mars was just a pipe dream. …

Giant tech firms have a history of getting hit with gut-shots during anti-trust cases, facing massive criticism and huge fines, but Microsoft seems to have mostly skated in its latest case in China, where it was given only a minor fine for breaching anti-trust law, as it was said not …

Actually living through a game of Ark: Survival Evolved would be pretty terrifying. Finding yourself on an island populated by creatures that want to eat you, people that want to kill you and the ever present danger of eating your own poo and dying from disease. Still, at least it's …

Although many KitGuru reviews might show off the most powerful and expensive hardware in the world not everyone can afford a £3,000 system, or fit that giant tower case into a small bedroom. That is why today you do not necessarily need a monstrous ATX case, high end motherboard and …

Since we spent much less of our time at EGX 2015 queuing than we have at previous years, that meant we didn't have as much time to look around aimlessly as we might do. That said, there were still some booths which really caught our attention for their statues, giant …

One of the biggest issues with attending a lot of the biggest game shows in the UK and elsewhere around the world, is that they involve a lot of queuing. We saw it at this year's big Multiplay Insomnia series festival and we saw it was last year's EGX in …

When you think of the cockpit of a Space Shuttle or rocket propelled crew capsule, what do you see? If you're like us, you see a cramped, button festooned, interior that has more dials and switches than any human could possibly understand. That's nothing like Space X's dragon capsule, which looks …

Torrent uploaders – and to a lesser extent downloaders – face the ever present threat of being discovered. If they're prolific, the knock at the door may come from a SWAT battering ram, but casual seeders may just receive a letter or email from a music lobby group or copyright …

If you're broadband is provided by Plusnet and you've been suffering from problematic internet connectivity over the past 24 hours, it's not your fault. The ISP has apologised for customers over a DNS issue that left many unable to access certain websites and online services, which forced some to use alternative …

The topic of China and its continued tug of war with the United States on the digital battleground is a hot one at the moment. With Chinese president Xi Jinping set to meet with President Obama to discuss hacking and digital defences, the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper has …

SOMA is another atmospheric horror title from the maker of Amnesia Dark Descent, Frictional Games. It's been described as not quite as pure horror as its earlier work, but that doesn't mean it isn't scary or dangerous deep under the sea. In-fact there are lots of monsters and creatures that …

Apple's TV system might have more than just gaming in mind, but it is bundling that functionality within its $200 set top box. There is a motion control that comes with it, giving players the ability to play some Wii-Sports like games from the get go, but for the more …

As much as Space X launches might be something the world at large can delight in when they – almost –  land a rocket on a barge, or run test flights of their manned capsule system, not everyone is so pleased. For the 26 residents of the village nearby the launch …

In the case of the U.S. Department of Justice versus Microsoft, much of our international personal privacy hangs in the balance. Yes the NSA is probably hoovering up 99 per cent of what we transmit to each other across the the internet, but if the DOJ wins this particular court …

As much as the Source Engine may have changed the game for, well, videogames back in the day, it's been getting a little long in the tooth. Perhaps then it's a good thing that Valve has finally put it out to pasture, with the DotA 2 Reborn update, which has …

Catching Pokemon has traditionally involved walking around in a bunch of grass, or dirt, or other areas where predatory cartoon beasts can leap out and attack a human far larger than themselves, who also happens to be carrying up to six highly trained animals of their own. That same sort …

AAISP – the unfiltered network Most internet service providers are quite typical. They offer phone and broadband products and have lacklustre callcentre support systems that are so ubiquitous, they've been the punchline of every comedian's closing bit for a decade; but that's not the case with every ISP. Recently we sat …

Google is continuing to take swings at any big tech competitors it can find, as following Amazon's move into grocery and other food and beverage deliveries, the search giant has now announced that it will begin offering such a service too. Starting later this year, San Francisco (and one other …

John McAfee, who is at this point known for his alleged criminal activity as much as his original anti-virus program, has filed paperwork in the U.S. to make himself a presidential candidate during the 2016 election. He's quite serious too, having also launched a brand new campaign website to support …

Although Germanium isn't a conflict metal and is therefore its usage isn't one of those moral hurdles we all have to leap when buying electronics, it still needs to be extracted from Zinc smelting and coal burning, which isn't particularly efficient. Like all natural resources, it's also finite, which is …

While most people use their smartphone for the WhatsApp encrypted messaging service, some use WhatsApp Web to do the same thing. Available to Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone and iOS users on their PCs, it lets people look at messages they've received and sent, including images and videos. However, those that …

Although Esport events might not have quite the same number of considerations – yet – as more traditional sports, that doesn't mean running them is easy. While Riot and Valve might have made us think so with how well they've continued to pull off the monolithic World Championships and International …

Kim Dotcom has spent nearly four years avoiding, delaying and attempting to have thrown out, his extradition trial. The court date, if met, would see him and his fellow MegaUpload defendants legally battling to not be sent to the US to face charges related to the running of his file …

If some of the responses to our recent VR ASMR showcase story told us anything, it's that more of you than ever before are listening to things that relax you before heading to bed, or to aid concentration during the day. That's something that Spotify's recent data release backs up, …
