Sony's Excellent Noise-Cancelling Headphones Have Some New Tricks
Sony’s MDR-1000X headphones do it all. They’ve got best-in-class noise-cancelling, impressive sound, a sleek design, and loads of app-powered goodies.

Sony Keeps Making New Phones, But Doesn’t Seem to Care If Anyone Actually Buys Them in the US
Like clockwork, another IFA means another batch of new Sony phones to check out.

Sony Legalizes Remixes
In a rare instance of a record company doing the right thing, Sony became the first major label to legalize unofficial remixes and DJ mixes.

Magnetic Tape Data Storage Breakthrough Will Make Your Hard Drive Seem Tiny
The amount of data you can squeeze onto a hard drive continues to grow by leaps and bounds, with Seagate announcing a 60TB SSD late last year.

Dark Tower's Production Was Plagued by Too Many Vetos: Report
Well, this might be the answer we’ve been looking for. Variety has a story detailing the issues that The Dark Tower movie has run into. It’s an interesting read, but the detail that sticks out the most is that three separate entities apparently had some form of veto power over the film.

Is Dark Tower's Short Runtime a Good Thing or a Bad Thing?
If trailers are to be believed, the first movie based on Stephen King’s massive Dark Tower series has a lot going on. Like, more than is even in one of the doorstopper books King’s written. And that’s why the purported 95-minute runtime has so perplexed people.

Shooting With Sony's Killer A9 Almost Feels Like Cheating
If you’ve ever wondered how a photographer managed to capture the exact moment of an incredible end zone reception or the instant a bird takes flight, the answer, in part, is that the photographer’s camera also captured the garbage moments directly before and after that golden frame, with a very expensive camera…
Now That Spider-Man's a Part of Marvel's Cinematic Universe, He Needs His Own Team

Witness the Surprisingly Grim Premise of the Emoji Movie

Spider-Man: Homecoming's Car Marketing Betrays a Great Piece of Spidey Lore
Spider-Man: Homecoming’s willingness to to sidestep the history established in Sony’s two other takes on the webhead and get Peter Parker back to his awkward, teenage roots is a large part of what makes the movie as refreshing as it is. But there’s one thing about Homecoming’s Spidey that’s a little off.

In just 25 days, Sony’s long-in-the-making Dark Tower film hits theaters. Yet, you wouldn’t know it, given that we’ve seen and heard so little about the film that it seems like either the Stephen King adaptation is impossible to market, or it’s being kept under so tight a wrap that we’re starting to get a little…
