Who's got time for romance? I've got a job to do!

While it often feels like a full-on auto show, the car vibes feel somewhat lessened at CES 2026. Yes, the Afeela electric vehicle from the Sony-Honda joint venture will be back on the floor, but with the Trump administration yanking most EV incentives from the market, the industry isn't offering a full-court press of new vehicles in Las Vegas this year. That said, there's still plenty of in-cabin car tech on display, including Hyundai's Holographic Windshield Display. Indeed, the company's Mobis...

For a tech writer, being very offline is sort of like being a marathon coach who doesn’t run. So in 2025, I tried to reverse years of studied avoidance towards the most ubiquitous technological phenomenon on earth — I got back on social media. The change was short-lived.  My first exodus from the feeds took some work — disabling notifications, removing apps from my homescreen and then deleting accounts entirely. This time, the phone put itself down. The whole thing has simply lost its luster. I ...

GTA 6 is far from the only big new video games of 2026. Here are 50 new video games we're excited about in 2026.

You may know Bosch as a home appliance brand (via its partnership with Siemens), but the German multinational is generally more focused on providing underlying technology and engineering solutions to auto, home and manufacturing partners across the globe. It's fitting, then, that much of what it's showing off at CES 2026 is more intended to be licensed to other companies versus Bosch-branded products you'll be seeing on store shelves. Case in point is Bosch's automotive plans at CES. The company...

Old horizons. The new year is here, and with it comes the promise of video games. After a slow and steady start, native Switch 2 releases are coming in fast and there's loads to look forward to in 2026 already - and that's not counting any inevitable surprises that crop up in the next 12 months. The first two games of the year from Nintendo see a return for an old favourite with Animal Crossing: New Horizons, followed by Mario Tennis Fever. But Capcom is bringing one of the year's biggest multip...

PlayerUnknown's PUBG inspired Fortnite's battle royale experience, but he won't be similarly influenced by Epic's metaverse moves.

'26 mix. Good news, everyone! No need to bother with all that GOTY rigmarole next year, as it's already wrapped and bagged. Commiserations to the losers, and congratulations to Rhythm Heaven Groove! Catch you all again in '27... Okay, okay. That's a little premature, but the fact that we're getting a brand new Rhythm Heaven/Paradise game puts 2026 ahead of every year since 2016 (which brought us Megamix on 3DS), so anything else on the calendar is just gravy, really.

My great aunt lived to be 102, and when she was dying she revealed that she had been married not five times but six. We have no idea who the sixth husband was or where he fit into the Aunt Mickey timeline. I have to assume we'll never know.
