Amazon may be looking to expand its grocery delivery service beyond raw ingredients, with new job listings appearing for restaurant division staff in the Seattle and New York areas.

Unless you yourself are a hunter who regularly kills, cleans and cooks their own meat, chances are – like most of us – you are pretty removed from the process of readying your meat for consumption. You may cook it, but few of us are actively slaughtering the animals we …

As much as looking at fantasy worlds often reveal horrific racism and xenophobia among their occupants, there's something simplistic about separate races of people which appeals to our tribal nature that's just about hidden under society's veil. But that tribalism does allow for the creation of strong, thematic fantasy characters like …

As much as we all heaped praise on CD Projekt Red for its DLC offerings with the Witcher III: Wild Hunt, which saw it release a bunch of extras in free download packs, alongside announcing paid expansions, the Monster Hunter series has been giving away bucket loads of content for …

Although most lobby groups seem to have decided against the idea of prosecuting individual downloaders, if for no other reason that the costly lawsuits don't really perturb other pirates, they do still go after uploaders. One man in the UK has found that out all to well, after the 38 …

United Launch Alliance, a joint venture of Lockheed Martin Space Systems and Boeing Defense, Space and Security, has successfully launched the fourth U.S. Navy's Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) satellite into orbit around the Earth.

Tesla's vehicles have been game changers in their own ways over the years, though perhaps more so because of the associated patents the electric car company released to help seed the marketplace than vehicle sales. However arguably it's biggest ever play will be in making electric vehicles affordable to everyone through …

I'm not sure what happened in the past couple of years at Games Workshop, but whatever it was, it was big. The British tabletop developer went from having just a handful of video games based on its titles, to having more in-development than even we can keep track of. And …

Valve has had to pull a game from its Steam Greenlight platform, after a link on its page sent users to a link that downloaded malware, which when activated made changes to their account without permission. In one instance, it even went so far as to automatically rate the game highly and …

Remember back in January 2012 when MegaUpload was shut down and its servers were seized? The people who were paying customers of the site didn't receive any compensation for that loss and despite many legal efforts by different individuals, nobody has been able to get their files back. It was …

Autonomous sensory meridian response, or ASMR, is a phenomenon that unless you can experience it yourself, seems completely bizarre.

Although KitGuru may give away a Steam game to a smart-aleck caption writer every single week, we also run much bigger and more elaborate competitions with more impressive prizes.

When you fill in a form on a website, you expect that information to go straight to the company who owns the site (and the NSA), not its entire mailing list of customers. But that's exactly what happened recently with WHSmith's site, which had a misconfigured “contact us” form on …

As much as Tesla has crafted some amazing cars over the years, with many reviewers claiming the recent Model S P85D is the best car in the world at the moment, none of them come close to being affordable for the average consumer. While Elon Musk has promised that its Model …

Cyanide Games' BloodBowl II has been a long delayed game. Originally intended for release in Spring this year, it was nudged back by a few months and then a few more, with its current release date set for the 22nd September. To make sure we still say hungry for touchdowns and …

Although Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain has been incredibly well received, its release has been bittersweet for many fans of the series, as it marks the end of Hideo Kojima's career working on Metal Gear games. Konami took the surprising move to remove almost all mention of him relating …

The limit for how much people can spend when using the contactless card payment system is being raised to £30, as usage of the quick and easy technology increases exponentially. Previously, those paying without inputting their pin-code would only be able to spend up to £20 as a security measure, …

Apple might have pulled in most of the people that like to spend outrageous amounts on a smartwatch, but if some held out, they might be able to opt for a much cheaper and comparably flashy design from LG. The Korean company is now launching a 23 carat gold-plated version …

Although movies based on videogames have a terrible pedigree – thanks Uwe Boll – there are still some properties that have the potential to be great films.
